Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1145 Do You Regret Now

Jewel took a glance at Ellen and shook her head. "I don't."

Winnie's brow grew even tenser. "What about Elam Louis?"

Jewel shook her head again. "I don't know any of them, but I've heard of their names."

In actuality, she was told that Helena Parker was her mother while Elam Louis was her

father. Nonetheless, with Alex insisting that Helena and Winnie were the same people, she

could not work out what her mother's true name was.

At that moment, Olivia walked closer, observing the others' expressions. According to

Alex, the so-called Winnie Parker was the homewrecker of his family and also Jewel's

mother. Nevertheless, they did not seem to know each other nor bear the resemblance of

a mother and a daughter.

Thus, she sneakily gave Eugene a push, signaling him to give Alex a call as the latter

might be the only person who knew something. After all, Jewel was an amnesiac.

Aware of that, he was already messaging Alex. 'Hurry over. Both your father and Winnie

Parker are here. You should confront them should you have any questions.'

Ellen's face grew dark. "Jewel once lost her memories, so she doesn't remember anything

that happened eight years prior. Though, I'm curious about the relationship you might

have with her."

After silently taking a deep breath, Winnie answered, "Helena Parker is my sister, while

Elam Louis is my brother-in-law. They had a daughter named Jean Louis, and Jewel

somewhat resembles her. Although I've never met the girl, I've seen her in videos online.

Back then, she wasn't this grown, as she was a fragile little girl, so now, I'm hesitating to

confirm my suspicion."

As she spoke, she grabbed Edmont. "Edmont, don't you think she looks like Jean?"

He nodded in agreement. "Yes, but she had long hair back then. However, Jewel has short

hair, so there are some differences."

Hearing that, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Yet, Ellen held Jewel's hands and excitedly replied, "You're right! Jewel's former name was

Jean Louis, and it was only changed to Jewel Fenton after she lost her memories."

Winnie, too, was thrilled, walking toward Jewel. "So, you're Jean? No wonder you seem so

familiar." She pulled Jewel into her embrace as she spoke, "Gosh, do you know how long

we've been looking for you?"

Gently, Jewel leaned against her chest. Although she was unfamiliar with the woman, she

was technically the only person that shared the same bloodline as her.

Jewel was happy, but at the same time, a new fear arose in her heart. Even if her mother

was not a homewrecker, the woman before her was undoubtedly in a romantic relationship

with Alex's father. In that case, there was no difference in whether she was her mother or

aunt, as his mother would never accept her anyway. Therefore, there was no future for her

and Alex.

As she spoke, she grobbed Edmont. "Edmont, don't you think she looks like Jeon?"

He nodded in ogreement. "Yes, but she hod long hoir bock then. However, Jewel hos short

hoir, so there ore some differences."

Heoring thot, everyone heoved o sigh of relief.

Yet, Ellen held Jewel's honds ond excitedly replied, "You're right! Jewel's former nome wos

Jeon Louis, ond it wos only chonged to Jewel Fenton ofter she lost her memories."

Winnie, too, wos thrilled, wolking toword Jewel. "So, you're Jeon? No wonder you seem so

fomilior." She pulled Jewel into her embroce os she spoke, "Gosh, do you know how long

we've been looking for you?"

Gently, Jewel leoned ogoinst her chest. Although she wos unfomilior with the womon, she

wos technicolly the only person thot shored the some bloodline os her.

Jewel wos hoppy, but ot the some time, o new feor orose in her heort. Even if her mother

wos not o homewrecker, the womon before her wos undoubtedly in o romontic relotionship

with Alex's fother. In thot cose, there wos no difference in whether she wos her mother or

ount, os his mother would never occept her onywoy. Therefore, there wos no future for her

ond Alex.

In that instant, she felt downhearted. She thought she did not care about Alex, seeing how

swift she was when talking about breaking up with him; her investigation was solely to

clear off the defamation directed toward her mother. Amidst her twists of emotions, she

then realized she was merely pretending not to care about him. At the end of the day,

words did not always reflect true feelings.

Suddenly, hasty steps were heard from far away.

Jewel turned toward the sound, only to see Alex running precisely in her direction from the

entrance, and when he halted his steps, he panted rather intensely.

When Alex received Eugene's message, he almost arrived at the venue, so he decided to

get out of the car and dash to the hotel. When he saw the awfully familiar face of Edmont,

his heart violently trembled.

The face remained ever so familiar, though it lacked the determination and steadfastness

of one's youth, left with only maturity over time; he was much older now.

Alex thought his father was nothing more than a stranger to him, but all he could

remember from him was his betrayal. Hence, he always perceived him as a nemesis,

hoping that they would eventually meet so that he could ask him the question, "Do you

regret leaving me and my mother now?"

Alas, the man was standing right before him at that very moment, yet he failed to utter a

word.
