Caleb nodded.

"Your mother was a brilliant person.No, the part about seeking asylum is not true.The two families could only be said to be cooperating with each other"

Nora didn't expect Caleb to respect her mother so much that he would actually explain.She nodded.

"After my mother passed away, it was because I had a marriage agreement with the Grays that Henry didn't starve me to death"

She had actually already been aware of a lot of things when she was a child.When she was three, there was once where she was simply too hungry.When she went downstairs to look for food, she had heard what Henry said at that time.

He had said, "She has a marriage agreement with the Grays after all.The Grays have also approached me several times to tell me to take care of her, so no matter what, we mustn't let her die"

One could say that her marriage agreement with the Grays was what had protected her during her childhood.

However, Quinn had already gone to look for her at that time, so even if Henry had really been determined to starve her to death, Quinn would not have let her die anyway.

"Yeah, this was an agreement with your mother.We were to ensure that you survive until you come of age"

Caleb didn't hide anything.

After saying this, he took out a handkerchief, held it over his mouth, and started coughing violently.

The coughing fit this time seemed a little hard to quell.

It wasn't until he took a sip of water that he finally managed to suppress it.

Nora fell silent for a moment at this point of the conversation.

In the past, she didn't have much of an impression of her mother.

After all, she had already passed away when she was still a child.

The only thing she had an impression of was the audio message that she had left her, and even so, the message had warned her not to be too conspicuous and to be mediocre.

Otherwise, she would be in danger.

After that came the audio recording that her mother had left behind which Caleb had let her listen to the other time .

It was a conversation between her and Henry when they were making the deal.

What she had said at that time was, 'everything was fine as long as she didn't starve to death: Her words were obviously like those of an irresponsible mother.

But when she thought about it in this instant...Quinn, the Grays, and perhaps also some other things that she wasn' t yet aware of—they had all been arranged by her mother to protect her! When she thought of it that way, Yvette's image in her heart suddenly became fleshed out.

Nora calmed herself down and asked, "Was that why the Grays had firmly refused to break off the engagement even when I became pregnant by accident? Was that why they had still insisted that Anthony marry me?"

Caleb nodded.
