pen name. It was somewhat inexplicable.
However, Gavin’s pupils violently trembled, and he involuntarily exclaimed. “Are you my mother’s pen
pal, Mrs. Muriel?”
Muriel replied, “That’s right!”
Pen pal. Sally’s mother was his mother’s pen pal.
Muriel and his mother had never met in person, only exchanged letters. Yet, they had formed a bond
akin to close friends.
The two of them were very familiar with each other.
Regarding his mother’s pen pal, his mother had told him about her.
She had mentioned that Muriel had lost her husband before Sally was born.
Due to certain special reasons, her daughter had taken her last name.

Muriel claimed to be his mother’s pen pal for over a decade. That was Mrs. Muriel that his mother
mentioned!

around and ran into her bedroom. Soon, she pulled out a large suitcase from her bedroom.
She beckoned to Gavin, saying, “Come, have a look. Wherever I go, I always carry the letters
exchanged with your mother over these years.”

Inside, the densely packed letters were filled to the brim.

Muriel and his mother.
In almost every letter, his mother had to mention him to Muriel.
Every time his name was brought up, Gavin could sense his mother’s pride and deep love toward him.

slowly slid down Gavin’s cheek.
Watching Gavin, Muriel seemed to empathize, and a faint mist appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Then, she quickly pulled out two letters from the compartment of the suitcase. She handed them to
Gavin, saying, “Gav, this is the last letter your mother gave me, including this attachment in it. She said
if there’s a chance, you must open this letter yourself!
“I never thought that one day, I would really meet her son, meet you, Gav!”
Muriel’s voice also started to tremble.
His mother wanted him to open it personally.
After hearing this, Gavin directly threw away the letter he was holding in his hand and snatched the
letter from Muriel’s hand.
In the letters his mother gave Muriel, Gavin could see that his mother’s tone was very mournful. At this
moment, she had already known that the Clifford family was going to perish.
This letter might even have been written during the battle of the Clifford family.

Only now did Gavin realize that Muriel’s scent was somewhat similar to his mother’s.
The food made by Muriel also tasted similar to his mother’s.
Now, in Gavin’s eyes, Muriel seemed like the incarnation of his mother.
He buried his head in Muriel’s chest, silently weeping, and tears quickly wet Muriel’s clothes.
