Fake heiress Real heroine

Chapter 253

“Live together?” Cher and Zane froze in surprise. They had suspected that Quinlyn would uncover the truth and

were prepared to be revealed. They thought they might becdistant, even if not complete strangers, warning

the Wilson family to stay away.

But now Quinlyn said she wanted to live together.

“Don’t you fear us? We've killed,” Cher asked. In every sense, they were executioners.

Quinlyn shook her head, serious as she replied, “I've killed many too.”

Cher was taken aback. “Don’t speak carelessly in front of a judge.”

“Wait? But | am telling the truth,” Quinlyn turned to Joseph for support.

Joseph replied dryly, “I can’t help you get sent away.”

While they debated, Zane quickly shielded Quinlyn with his umbrella, blocking the rain and the cold wind with his

dark

coat.

He looked down at Quinlyn and asked, “Will you welcus as your neighbors?”

“Yes,” Quinlyn replied without hesitation, her dark eyes reflecting their figures.

Cher finally lowered her guard and agreed as well.

Afterward, Joseph and Quinlyn bowed at two gravestones, offering simple respects before heading down the hill.

They got in the car, slightly damp from the rain.

“Quickly dry off, wear my sweater; your coat is wet. I'll fix your hair. Cover up with the blanket,” Zane instructed.

“Don’t exaggerate.”

“I'm not, you just can’t afford to catch a cold now.”

Quinlyn overheard their conversation and caught Cher’s eye. Cher smiled, placing a hand on her belly. “I went to

the hospital yesterday; my hormone levels are up. | think I'm pregnant.”

Quinlyn’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at Cher’s belly. “Cher, you're having a baby!”

Joseph immediately offered his congratulations. “You need to be careful. If you need anything, contact me; our

lab has great equipment for emergencies.”

Cher didn’t hesitate to accept his offer. Without him mentioning it, she wanted to ask her friend for support

because being an older mother could be risky, and she wanted to be safe.

Quinlyn was thrilled, even if it was just a tiny embryo. She curiously reached out to touch Cher’s belly.

“How wonderful. If Cher and Zane are the parents, you will give the kid so much love and happiness!”

Today she was just here to confirm the facts. She didn’t plan to do anything. When it cto lives lost, her

hands weren't any cleaner than anyone else's, but they had made peace with themselves.

Years ago, when Cher decided to abandon her family, it led to who she was now, similar to Quinlyn crossing the

border.

The moving process wasn’t complicated. To ensure Cher’s safety during her pregnancy, Zane quickly bought a

house near the Wilson residence and arranged everything for their move.

Elowyn was impressed by the couple’s dynamic. “You didn’t pick the wrong husband; he’s a gem.”

While Cher leisurely brewed coffee, she laughed at Elowyn’s comment, flipping through a picture book at the

table. This was the sbook Quinlyn had spotted a flaw in, but she hadn't realized it herself; Zane had found it

later.

When they were kids, Zane had given her many books, and this was one he brought when he visited her before

leaving.

“Snow White,” it told a story of a princess fleeing into the woods only to succumb to a poisoned apple. The

prince later kissed her to wake her up, a ridiculous fairytale.

Now, it could clearly be viewed as a cragainst a corpse,

But in his youth, Zane sent Cher this book with meaning. He longed to save the girl he liked, no matter the cost.

At the last page of the happy ending, in the lower corner, he had drawn two stick figures. The boy, in a collarless

uniform, gazed sideways at the girl, with a heart drawn unevenly between them.

After getting married, he gave her a handmade ceramic cup decorated with a heart. She had once teased him

about it, being a science guy who couldn't even draw a symmetrical heart,

Cher understood now that Zane’s gift had been a secret declaration of his feelings, a hopeless confession

wrapped in youthful courage,

Elowyn leaned in closer and teased, “You two are like an old married couple, still doing these cute things; it

makesblush.”

Just then, Zane passed by, pausing at her words, his ears turning slightly red.

Cher glanced at him, chuckling. “If he really had thoughts, he wouldn't be so foolish.”

‘My room was filled with legal codes, colder than any science guy could be. How could I like a fairytale? Using the

picture book was merely an excuse to speak with him,’ Cher thought to herself.

The most handsboy in school, the first to have feelings, was actually her, which is why she never finished

reading the book or noticed his feelings.

Before 15th of January, results cin for appeals across the nation. Given the mastermind was also a victim

and the statute of limitations had passed, all were released as innocent.
