Chapter 142: Chapter 71: What an Endearingly Familiar Name!

Although, no one could see anything different in Summer Fairmont during her expressionless cooking show compared to usual.

Yet within Summer Fairmont’s heart, there was an unprecedented confusion.

Knowing the truth, Summer Fairmont could no longer treat Sean Lowell with her usual indifference.

Sean Lowell was no longer that insignificant person she really had no interest in.

However, it was absolutely impossible for her to interact with Sean Lowell like the Vaughn Siblings did.

Summer Fairmont needed to confront a very cruel issue.

If she had a brother, a family.

Then why was she left alone in Scotland?

Why before she was adopted, the police and embassy’s "various searches" never found a relative in the country willing to take care of her?

The investigation report left to Summer Fairmont by Hieronymus included records from the police and embassy as well as a private detective’s findings.

Evidently, after receiving official responses, Hieronymus wasn’t resigned and had a private detective investigate once more.

Despite paying all the fees and contacting everyone found, nobody claimed her to bring her back.

For a disabled person like Hieronymus, adopting Summer Fairmont was understandably difficult.

Hieronymus’s process of adopting Summer Fairmont was a long one.

Summer Fairmont saw Hieronymus’s efforts in the investigation report.

However, why after making such efforts to adopt, was she treated with extreme coldness?

Summer Fairmont truly struggled to comprehend the logic behind this.

If one fears misfortune or a curse, isn’t the best way to simply choose not to adopt?

People can be so complex, too complex for Summer Fairmont to immediately digest.

This is also why Summer Fairmont dared not get too close to Sean Lowell all at once.

In a hospital in the country, Sean Lowell held the heart-shaped button necklace and told Summer Fairmont it was a gift from his sister, his most precious gift.

As a witness, Summer Fairmont couldn’t ignore the "deep affection" evident in his expression and tone.

But why?

From the age of 4 to 14, she lived like a rootless duckweed for ten years, with no one paying her any mind.

Now, though she is cold, she is independent enough and more capable of creating the life she wants for herself.

At this point, does she really need to experience the ups and downs of the human world once more?

If she encounters another "father" like Hieronymus, who adopts her fervently only to later neglect her just as fervently,

What should her future hold then?

Is her heart big enough to contain the love and hate, entanglements, and conflicts of the human world?

Originally, Summer Fairmont had completely sealed off childhood memories.

Though real, they caused no harm.

Now, the vague impressions surfacing in her mind not only failed to dispel her childhood shadows but added to them.

Summer Fairmont didn’t know how to face this, nor did she know whom she could discuss it with.

The darkness of the world should not invade The Devilish Lolita’s realm.

Until now, Summer Fairmont was always able to handle all issues impacting her with a clean break.

Except this time, she hesitated.

Back at her apartment, Summer Fairmont had another sleepless night.

In three days, she hadn’t slept more than five hours, heading toward a saintly state.

Summer Fairmont tossed and turned in thought all night.

After Summer Fairmont refused to let Artie Vaughn stay overnight, Artie hugged Leo Vaughn and cried an entire night.

Artie always was as fond of crying as being coddled, but crying this long, crying from fatigue to sleep, and then waking to continue crying, this form of crying was absolutely unprecedented.

The heart of the National Heartthrob was about to break from the crying. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"What’s happened to our Artie? Who’s bullied Artie? Tell your brother, and he’ll avenge you." Leo Vaughn comforted her, mimicking her way of speaking.

But the more he comforted, the more Artie cried, apologizing to Leo repeatedly in the midst of sobs that couldn’t catch their breath.

"Stop crying, your brother will never blame Artie. Even if Artie caused his death, he’d die with a smile." Leo couldn’t imagine what Artie might have done to wrong him.

"Artie... Artie failed to win over Master Sean Lowell, brother, I’m sorry." The reason Artie finally vocalized for her apology was somewhat peculiar.

"Did Artie confess and get rejected? It’s not easy to win over Master Sean Lowell—isn’t that normal? All girls who like The Jilted know he doesn’t indulge in worldly affairs. Artie is probably the closest girl to Master Sean Lowell that I’ve ever seen other than Gordon Sterling, I haven’t seen Master Sean Lowell ever appear with anyone else anywhere in the mortal realm."
