Rhiannon was so shocked that she almost fell when she flinched while the cover fell back to where it was.
Rhiannon glared at Mary before looking back at the box and felt frustrated.
“Rhiannon, I am asking you a question,” Mary asked as she placed a tray full of food on the table and walked towards Rhiannon.
“What question?” Rhiannon asked irritatedly. “Also, who allowed you to walk in without my permission?”
Her voice was cold that it stunned Mary who stared at her for a long time. If there was anyone who told her that one day, Rhiannon would talk like an enemy, she would have laughed it off as she didn’t think that with how Rhiannon loved and respected her, she would do that but now?
“You need to eat first,” Mary said as she hurriedly took the box ready to close it and keep it in a safe place.
“Where are you taking my stuff?” Rhiannon asked as she took the box from Mary and looked at her in suspicion since she felt that there was something her nanny knew and didn’t tell her. At the same time, she felt cheated and betrayed.
What was mostly on her head was what was inside the deeper part of the box.
“I am just going to return it as you eat your food,” Mary said but Rhiannon shook her head as she felt that things were not as simple as Mary wanted them to be.
“Return it while I haven’t even returned the jewels?” Rhiannon asked coldly
Mary who had just seen the box opened was so shocked when she realized that there were a lot of jewels on the table.
“I am sorry. I had not seen them,” Mary said as she bowed down making Rhiannon sigh before waving her hand dismissing the latter but she refused firmly.
“No! Let me help you return them,” Mary said as she started placing the jewels that weren’t Rhiannon’s family heirloom causing Rhiannon to be so sure that her nanny knew something about her father and wasn’t telling her.
“Why aren’t you putting all of them inside?” Rhiannon asked with a frown when she realized what the latter was doing
Rhiannon asked in a confused tone while Mary breathed in.
“Miss, as for those, only you can return it,” Mary said as she lowered her head causing Rhiannon to stare at her for a long time.
“Why?” Rhiannon asked.
“One can touch them if you had not but since you already did and the jewels discovered your blood, it will only let you touch them,” Nanny replied as she knew that that was the new way.
“Know my blood? Nanny, can you please tell me what you are trying to say!” Rhiannon asked as she looked at the ice jade necklace that was on her hands and then at the old woman who was looking at her for a while before sitting down on the sofa.
Rhiannon felt like she would beat her up as she wasn’t getting what she wanted but in reality, Mary was just wondering how she should start telling her about your father.
“it was designed to know its ancestor's blood. If it were someone else who opened the box, she would have seen what you have always seen but she wouldn’t have to tell that they could shine brightly,” Mary said as she decided to let Rhiannon know so that she could stay prepared if anything happened.
“You held them and they started glowing, changing their color and shape. That was because they realized that you are the person's daughter,” Mary said causing Rhiannon to be shocked for a while.
“Who is my father?” Rhiannon asked as she was now sure that she didn’t need to know more about the jewels as she felt that if she knew who her old man was, some things wouldn’t happen now or in the future.
“I am sorry but I don’t know,” Mary said as she shook her head but Rhiannon glared at her coldly.
“You will tell me who my father is today as I am sure that you know about her and that’s why I believed you were shocked. And also tried your best to see what was inside this box,” Rhiannon said angrily as she couldn’t believe what was happening.
“Your mother made me promise her that I will never find that man again,” Mary said causing Rhiannon to be shocked and at the same time wonder what kind of argument the two had.
“Who said that I will find him? I just want to know his name. Or do you think that I am here to know his whereabouts and go search for him? That, I can’t go as even he hadn’t searched for me all this time,” Rhiannon felt in pain as she wondered what kind of a man her father was.
“He is so high. He isn’t from this country but he had made sure that he has a second home because of your mother,” Nanny started as she felt that maybe Rhiannon should know some things so that she could understand why we were always overprotective of us.
“He met your mother at the banquet and this went in another direction as your mother was drugged at that time. She slept with a stranger who upon seeing her in the morning proposed to marry her. Your mother had someone who loved her but people started pointing figures at her when her fiance said that she was cheating on her” she halted.
“When everyone didn’t believe her and didn’t want to talk to her, the man, always made sure that she was in a happy mood and not angry. He had a sense of responsibility but your mother refused to get married at that time. The man proposed that they can start dating and then move forward which your mother agreed. They started being in a relationship, going out for dates, and so on.”
“In no time your mother fell in love with your father and when they decided to get married, the man’s family showed up and told your mother that she couldn’t get married to their son as they weren’t from the same place and the same time not from the same social status. That hurt your mother.”
“The man was taken back but his family forcibly but after some months, he came back and handed some jewels to your mother stating that he was going to get married to another woman whom his parents had arranged but since he didn’t love her, there was no way he was going to let her wear the heirlooms. That night, you were conceived and at the same that night was the last night your mother saw your father,” Mary concluded.
“So you mean that my father has another family out there and even doesn’t know of my existence or that mother died?”
