Love Comes To Me
Chapter 847: Want to replace my aunt back

As soon as Edgar's words were spoken, the surprise in Eloise's heart grew even more.

Again, a small look of surprise crossed Hector's face.

His thin lips flicked open in invitation, "Since you're my mother-in-law's maiden family, why don't you come inside for a chat?"

Edgar had come here because he had something to do, so when he heard about the invitation, he naturally thanked him politely and nodded his head in response.

Hector could see that Edgar had come for something, so he and Eloise led him towards the study.

Passing through the living room, Hector's parents all froze slightly at the sight of the stranger, before nodding politely at him.

Entering the study, Eloise sat on the sofa and somewhat less comfortably stroked the stray hair from her ear, "I'm sorry... I've never heard my mother mention her maiden family, so it's a bit of a surprise to learn who you are." It is also true that she knows nothing about her mother, Maryam.

After the reunion of mother and daughter, Maryam never mentioned it, and she never thought to ask about it.

So when a relative suddenly appeared, Eloise was a bit baffled.

Hector remained silent as he gently held Eloise's hand.

Edgar was not taken aback by this, instead he bowed his head and gave a bitter smile, "It's normal that Auntie didn't mention us to you."

That was all he said simply, without much explanation.

Without asking too many questions, Eloise got right to the point and asked, "So, is it something important that you came to see my mother this time?"

Edgar's thin lips were lightly pursed, "It's something very important ..."

With the sound of his warm voice, Eloise is transported into a story from long ago.

When Maryam was just starting out, she met Josh, a newcomer to society with a dream and a lot of ambition.

A young girl's love is always poetry, and the two of them, over time, developed feelings for each other and became boyfriend and girlfriend.

But Maryam was afraid to let her own father, Master Khan, know.

Because with Josh 's condition at that time, Master Khan would definitely not allow them to date.

Until one day, someone comes to the door to introduce Maryam to someone.

Master Khan saw that the person he introduced was not of bad family and character, so he agreed to it.

When Maryam found out about this, of course she couldn't possibly agree to it, and even in a fit of brain, she took Josh back to the Khan family. And, threatened not to marry anyone other than Josh.

"You, you, I've worked so hard to raise you and now you dare talk back to me over a man?"

This one made Master Khan furious, "Do you think you'll be happy in the future if you follow such an incompetent brat? Ah?"

Maryam has been a good girl for twenty years or so, and this time she is determined to be with Josh.

She strained her neck and was equally defiant, "Dad, I love him! Josh will definitely make it in the future, you can't just stick it to the man."

As a man, Josh was confident and sincere, "Uncle, I will bring her happiness, please don't break us up."

Master Khan was so angry that he blew out his beard and glared, and on the spot he kicked Josh away, "I'm going to beat up the lovebirds today! You won't marry this boy!" Watching her beloved man being kicked to the ground, Maryam's emotions immediately went out of control and she picked up Josh and shouted angrily, "I insist on marrying!" After saying this, he walked out with Josh.

As soon as Master Khan saw that his daughter not only did not listen to him, but also left the Khan family with Josh.

He was so angry that he almost fell over, and said angrily, "If you step out of this house, don't ever come back! I don't have a daughter like you!"

Maryam was struck dumb and tears streamed down her face.

When everyone thought she would compromise, she turned around, knelt down to Master Khan, kowtowed heavily, and left the Khan family without looking back. Master Khan thought that Maryam was just an impulse and that she would come back before too long.

And no one was sent to stop it.

Who would have thought that after waiting for months, Master Khan would not have waited for his daughter to return once.

What's more, I never expected that Maryam would be so decisive, breaking all ties with the Khan family and leaving for more than twenty years.

As Edgar spoke, Eloise froze a little in shock.

I didn't realise that my mother was young and capricious and would leave at the drop of a hat.

Edgar took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued, "My father told me these things, and the reason I came this time was because of the old man."

He sighed softly, his brow full of frustration.

"Father said it's not that the old man didn't want to go over to his aunt, but Grandpa was too stubborn and wouldn't give in."

At these words, Eloise pursed her lips and spoke doubtfully, "So you're here this time ...?"

"Auntie was the old man's most beloved daughter, and it was because of that love that grandfather became even more disappointed in her and was unwilling to give in. However, over the years, grandpa has often mentioned aunt at home." Edgar put down his cup of tea and raised his head to look directly at Eloise with a somewhat apprehensive expression, "Recently, grandfather's health has not been good, and he ... wants to replace his aunt back."

The Khan family is Maryam's mother's family, yet they let her drift away alone for so long, unnoticed for so many years.

Edgar also wondered if Maryam would feel resentment in her heart and refuse to go back to the Khan family with him.

After hearing Edgar's words, Eloise realises that her mother had such an experience.

She lowered her eyes, "I'm sorry, my mother she's also in hospital recently and may not be able to return for a while."

It had been so long ago that she thought her mother should have let it all go.

But it's not convenient for the mother to go back in her current condition ..., is it?

Edgar hurriedly inquired, "What's wrong with her aunt?"

Eloise gathered her thoughts and gave a general account of what had happened.

Edgar fell silent after hearing this, his complexion all darkened and he looked as if he was a little sad, "I didn't expect this to happen."

There was a slight pause in his voice and he spoke hesitantly, "Can I go and see my aunt?"
