Chapter 136 Misunderstanding

• "When did they meet?" Juliet asked as she took out another picture and stared at it.. they looked inseparable like Gladys had said, and this picture was taken outside the very same house that she and Alex were in. "They met when they were seventeen. Your mother had just moved here with her mother and father, with her sister Claudia, I can't forget her because Claudia was a menace always causing trouble wherever she went, but your mother was different" Gladys reached into the box and picked out another picture from the dozens of pictures that were in the box and a warm smile appeared on her face as she stared at this particular picture. "Your mother was very calm and introverted, unlike Gerald. he was much more hyper and outgoing, and it didn't take long for him to fall for her. I don't blame him. She was stunning..."
• "And then it was time for them to go off to college, but Gerald got into some trouble... he had to go to jail for a while and this broke your mother... but she waited for two years for him to get out, but I was furious at him... furious that he would do such a thing when he knew the kind of life his father had lived and how it led to his death" Gladys paused for a moment and took a deep breath...
• "So I asked him to leave and he did... he left with your mother, but I didn't know he would be gone for this long. I waited for him, but he never showed up, and I was devastated. Afraid that something might have happened to him. I tried looking for him but I couldn't find him" Juliet felt her heart break as she watched Gladys wipe away the tears in her eyes... Alex took out his hankerchief from his jacket and handed it to her and she smiled at him...
