Chapter 1957
Stella, skeptical, rolled her eyes. "So, you improvised the second half of the story?"
Vermont replied, "Not exactly. It's a rough account of the events. Willow had a small family so Keegan
organized her funeral, which I attended.
"The emptiness of the hall reminded me of my exam answer sheets. If her husband truly loved her,
wouldn't he have been there?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe continued thoughtfully, "Willow's disappearance might be tied to the Moore family. The car accident
was due to Marshall's condition, but they likely covered it up. It's a complex situation, and perhaps it's
better that Marshall doesn't remember."
Felicity, frowning, interjected, "He's fortunate to have forgotten. Willow's life was lost because of him.
Stella, whatever happens with you and Keegan, avoid someone with baggage like Marshall. He and his
family are a web of problems."
Stella had been silent until Felicity mentioned her name.
Suddenly, Stella asked, "Did Willow and Marshall have any children?"
Vermont, taken aback, replied, "No, I don't believe so.
Keegan never said anything about it. Why do you ask?"
Stella pursed her lips before saying, "I was just curious if Marshall left Rivera hastily because Willow
might have been pregnant, fearing his family would harm her."
Vermont laughed. "Unlikely. If Willow was pregnant, the Moores might have accepted her. Regardless
of their feelings toward her, they value their bloodline."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe lowered his voice, "Marshall's father and uncle, both sons of Frederick with different women, were
brought into the Moore family at birth.
"Frederick's concern is his lineage, not the mothers who bore his children. Besides, Willow couldn't
have had
Marshall's child. They were focused on their studies and had only briefly reunited before her death.
"It's impossible for her to have had a child at that time, especially Marshall’s."
'So Coco isn't Marshall and Willow's child? According to Vermont's timeline, it doesn't add up,' Stella
mused, 'Also, Keegan told me that Coco's parents weren't people I knew and it seems
'Vermont doesn't know much either nor about Coco's existence before.
'The key point is the Moore family's stance. If Coco was a Moore, they wouldn't just ignore her. So, who
exactly is Coco, and why is Keegan so invested in her?'
