You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 112 He Must Be Wrong

Cedric’s chest tightened as he asked, “What’s wrong, Angie? What do you mean? Why are you crying?”

On the other side of the table, Madeline smirked. Here we go, she thought without looking even the slightest bit surprised.

She couldn’t help glancing over at Sebastian, only to find that he was looking at her as well. They exchanged a knowing smile as though musing over an inside joke, but they were the only ones at the dining table who looked happy.

The rest of the Wendels were stone-faced as they stared at Cedric, waiting anxiously to hear more so they could discern what the matter might be. While they had made up their minds to send Angie away and reunite with Madeline so that everything could fall back into place, it didn’t mean they had packed up their affections for the former. After all, she had spent over twenty years in their family, and she had been a daughter and a sister to them until recently. Such sentiments were not so easily discarded.

At least for now, Angie still held a higher place in their hearts than Madeline did.

On the other line, Angie was sobbing as she said, “Cedric, I… I was in a bad mood, so I talked to Nicholas. W-We drank a few glasses of wine after that, but then… but then…” She broke off in a distraught wail and cried, “I don’t know how things ended up like this… Cedric, what should I do? What am I going to do now?”

She barely said anything of note in the midst of her sniveling and crying, and her words were incoherent at best. Despite that, Cedric could already guess what she was trying to tell him.

However, he refused to believe that his guess could be right. Nicholas and Angie were cousins, and they couldn’t have done what he thought they did. No, he told himself firmly. No, I must be wrong!

With that in mind, he urged, “Angie, stop crying and tell me what happened. “What happened between you and Nicholas? Did you guys get into a fight? Was there a disagreement?”

“N-No…” Angie sniffed and sobbed again as she explained in a thick voice, “I was drunk, and I don’t know how I ended up sleeping in Nicholas’ bed, but when I woke up, I found out that he and I… We…”

She trailed off like the rest of the sentence was too hard for her to word out. Then, she added another abrupt piece of information by saying, “Alina saw us. She got really mad and wanted to beat me up, but Nicholas took her away. Cedric, what should I do? If word of this gets out, my reputation will be ruined…”

Cedric was in complete, utter shock. My sister… slept with my cousin.

Nicholas and Angie were not related by blood, but they had been cousins for over twenty years. The truth of her birth story had only just been uncovered days ago, yet she was found in bed with him after presumably a night’s worth of tussling.
