Fled With CEO’s Twin Babies

Chapter 1043 Nightmares From the Past

And so, the couple brought Lena back home.

But they didn’t expect that in such a harsh environment, Lena would still thrive. Not only did she obtain a full scholarship from school based on her excellent grades, but she also received an additional scholarship.

For the sake of these scholarships, Blake and Clare didn’t prevent her from going to school.

From elementary school onwards, Lena was able to support herself with these scholarships. She knew that studying was her only way out, so she studied relentlessly.

On the night she took the university entrance exam, Lena unintentionally overheard a conversation between the couple.

They never intended to let her go to college, no matter what school she got into.

Because they knew well that they had treated Lena badly, and once Lena saw the vast world outside, she would never return to this impoverished little mountain village. Their original intention in adopting Lena was to have her bear children for their mentally disabled son.

Upon discovering the truth, Lena didn’t plead with them. Instead, she calmly packed her few belongings and quietly escaped in the middle of the night.

After enduring years of abuse in that home, she understood very well that

Blake would never listen to her pleas. He would only intensify the torment, forcing her to submit.

Lena could only run away.

“Afterward, I obtained a full scholarship with outstanding grades. Combined with my part-time job, I saved enough money for studying abroad.” Lena lifted her glass and drank it all in one go.

Under the influence of alcohol, her cheeks flushed. She mocked her own destiny. “I thought I had completely escaped them, but I didn’t expect the people in the village to see me and pass on the news to them.”

The first thing the couple wanted to do was to take her back and marry her off to their mentally disabled son. Otherwise, they threatened her that they would go to the media and accuse Lena of abandoning her parents, thereby ruining her career and life.

Of course, Lena knew that they couldn’t destroy her life with just a few words. But when she thought she could finally embark on a new path, the nightmares from the past caught up with her once again. This sense of powerlessness was truly disheartening.

“I can…” Gideon furrowed his brow, but before he could finish his sentence, Lena raised a finger to silence him.

She shook her head. “I can do it myself. I don’t need your help.”

In fact, she had long prepared for this day, but when this day actually arrived, she felt sorrowful for herself.

Lena wasn’t seeking help from Gideon by telling him all this. She just wanted to release the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart by confiding in someone.

Gideon could tell that she was serious and nodded, indicating that he wouldn’t intervene in this matter.

But perhaps a few subtle threats toward them wouldn’t count as intervening, right?

Both with their own thoughts, they drank until late into the night. Lena once again got into Gideon’s car.

Unlike their deep intoxication last time, today, both of them retained some sobriety, but they still entered Gideon’s house together.

As soon as they entered, Lena kissed Gideon.

Gideon widened his eyes.

Although they had sex long ago, this was the first time they made out in a conscious and clear-headed state. His body stiffened, and while reaching out, he didn’t dare to place it on Lena’s waist.

Lena frowned with dissatisfaction and bit hard on Gideon’s lower lip.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
