196 Ch. 196 They Have Met In Their Younger Days
“Where is Aunt Meisya and Uncle Stanley?” asked Chleo, looking around to find her favorite uncle. I haven’t seen them in a long time.”
“They’re right there, near the sweet corner.” Michele pointed in the direction where her in-laws were.
Anxia had seen Chleo holding Axelard’s hand, and the man smiled gently at his wife and let her pull him. Anxia smiled as she realized the couple loved each other. How lucky she was―through Richard’s family, she could see how much warmth and love was shown to their respective spouses and other family members.
The warmth of this extended family was so significant that it could make Michelle, who had experienced past trauma, smile again―it made Anxia, ??who was filled with hatred and grudges about the past, live life filled with laughter and joy.
It would be perfect if Anxia could see Richard now. Where the hell is that stubborn, hard-headed husband of hers?
As soon as they arrived at the sweet corner, Anxia and Michelle let Chleo talk to Meisya while Axel talked to Stanley. While feeding Eugene a piece of chocolate cake, Michelle asked Anxia if she recalled anything about their first encounter with the Regnz family.
“What? We’ve met with the Regnz before this?”
“Yes. At that time, Mr. Darrell Alvianc invited us to the states. It was our first visit and the happiest time in my life.”
“Me too?”
.....
“How could we leave you alone for weeks? Wait, you don’t remember?”
Anxia shook her head sadly in answer. “No, I don’t. Perhaps, it was not the best moment in my life.”
“I’m sorry to hear that. But, I guess it’s fate.”
“Why so?”
“We got kidnapped right after we returned, and then... we split up. And you know the rest.”
Anxia swallowed hard as she felt Michelle’s deep sorrow. She couldn’t remember ever coming to America with the Wongs, but she did remember the moment when they were all kidnapped from the airport because that was the moment that completely changed her life goals.
“Ah, I’m sorry. It was unintentional. How about we talk about something else?” offered Michele, as she didn’t want to turn the merry became sour.
“Please, don’t. I’d like to know about our vacation in the states. What were we doing there?”
“We played at Disneyland, then came to Chleo’s First-acquaintance ball. At that time, our parents left us with Mr. Kinsey Alvianc, so we had the opportunity to meet the Regnz family.”
“Alvianc? Is this Mr. Kinsey related to Kendrich Alvianc?” Anxia remembered the first time she saw Kendrich when she picked up Ling Meng at the airport and witnessed how Richard and Kendrich saved Lori from the thugs who were about to kidnap the baby girl.
“Kendrich is his son. You ever met Kendrich before?”
“No. So what does Kendrich have to do with the Calvin family?”
“They are cousins.”
WHAT!? How many cousins ??does her husband have? In addition, the surnames of their cousins ??were also different. One was Heinest, which turned out to be unrelated by blood, then the Regnz family, which had assets and properties that almost rival the Alvianc group.
And now she got the news that the Alvianc group was also her husband’s cousin!? What a remarkable husband she’s got! Why didn’t she know that her husband was related to two of the most powerful and influential people in the world’s economy?
Seeing Anxia’s confusion, which looked like a student thinking about math formulas in her school, Michelle explained attentively. “Our father-in-law is Mrs. Regnz’s cousin, while our mother-in-law is Mrs. Alvianc’s twin sister. That is why their surnames are different, but they are still related by blood.”
“Kendrich is not an only child?” as far as she could remember, the data that Ling Meng had hacked two years ago did not show that the young man had a sister or brother.
“Yes. Her name is Melodie―her face is remarkably similar to Harmonie, and they were born on the same day, date, and time. If they walk together, people will think they are twins. Mr. Kinsey is very protective of his youngest daughter, so the girl hardly ever appears in the news. In addition, Melodie is a bit introverted, quite in contrast with Moni.”
That explained why no data said that Kendrich has a younger sibling; as it turned out, besides having a quiet character and not liking to be the center of attention, the father―Mr. Kinsey Alvianc did not want people to know that Melodie was his daughter.
Wait a minute. If Chleora is Richard’s cousin, and Kinsey’s wife is Richard’s mother’s twin sister, doesn’t that mean Richard and his family also came to Chleora Regnz’s First-acquaintance ball?
“Jie Jie, when we came to Chleo’s ball, did we meet Richard and Raymond?”
“You bet we did. I never forgot them because… I already liked Raymond.”
Anxia’s jaw dropped wide at this statement. She wasn’t surprised to hear that Michelle had fallen in love with Raymond when she was a teenager. But to her surprise, it turned out that she had met Richard when she was a child!
Why couldn’t she remember it?
Oh, no. It wasn’t that Anxia didn’t want to remember. That time when she decided to hate the Wongs and desired revenge, Anxia had pushed away her memories with the Wongs so that she couldn’t remember having vacationed with them in America.
She wondered if she would still remember it if the hatred didn’t blind her. Most of all, she was curious if her husband remembered her.
“Finally, the twins have arrived,” Chleo exclaimed, making Michelle and Anxia immediately turn their eyes toward the entrance. Both widened their eyes wide while Harmonie stroked her forehead in frustration.
The twins’ hair was dyed dark black, and both wore the same tuxedo and shirt―even the pants and the color of the shoes were precisely the same as if they were a splitting of an image. Both of them had friendly smiles, and their eyes were almost indistinguishable.
Now Anxia understood why her husband had such high self-confidence this afternoon.
The two looked exactly the same, and Anxia couldn’t tell which was her husband and which wasn’t!
Richard, you are so outrageous!
