Too Much To Bear My Love

Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 372

Chapter 372 She Is Not My Daughter

On the flip side, after Eleanor pulled her son and husband indoors, she remarked, “Benjamin, I will not let you harm her. If you touch even a strand of hair on her head, I will shoot myself before you.”

Benjamin studied his wife with narrowed eyes. “Eleanor, am I really as cruel as what you make me out to be?”

“Am I wrong?” she cried shrilly. “Our daughter went missing at so young an age back then. Not only did you not call the police, but you also forbade anyone from talking about her. It still haunts me as though it happened last night. How could you possibly imagine that I would think of you as a good man?”

Benjamin clenched his fists at her unexpected insolence.

Clearing his throat, Sean tried, “Mom, please calm yourself. Dad is only worried about your health and that you might be swindled. Your only children are Amelia and me, remember? I have never heard of a missing sister.”

The elder woman glared at Sean. “Are you trying to insinuate that I’m insane, Sean? That I’m hallucinating, perhaps? Maybe this missing sister of yours is a figment of my imagination, isn’t it?”

Hearing that, Sean sighed. “That’s not what I meant, Mom. I just wanted you to calm down. You’re too uptight. I’m just afraid that your illness would act up again. Dad and I are worried about your health, that’s all.”

“Enough!” Eleanor lost her temper. Puffing her bosom out in a rage, she took her frustration out on her son. “She’s your sister too, Sean. I will not permit you to speak about her like that. I will really be furious if you do.”

Sean pouted sulkily, but fell silent.

Benjamin did his best to remain patient. “Eleanor, calm yourself. I have seen the girl, and I must admit that she bears an uncanny resemblance to you. However, the world is a big place. Having doppelgangers is not as rare as it sounds. We can have it verified through a DNA test if you suspect that she’s our daughter. We’ll see what the test says before taking any further action.”

Eleanor glared at her husband with scathing disbelief. After being married to him for decades, she was familiar with his tactics of delay. Besides, no one knew how much her husband disliked their eldest daughter better than her.
