Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 557

Irvin had once told me that the reason he treated Julianne so well was because Diana had been so kind to him. He had always believed that, given how good a mother Diana was, Julianne wouldn't turn out that badly.

While I had never met Diana, I knew someone who could leave such a good impression on Irvin couldn't have been a bad person.

But then, I found out Henry's true lost love wasn't actually Diana, but her younger sister, Regina Pincer. So, I had someone dig deeper into Regina's background. And in doing so, I learned that Julianne wasn't Diana's biological daughter at all.

Back then, Diana and Regina had given birth at the same hospital and just a day apart.

Regina was a single mother. When Julianne was born, she had been afraid that she wouldn't be able to give her a good life. She didn't want Julianne to suffer alongside her. Thus, she swapped Julianne with Diana's daughter, Lumi.

Unaware of this, Diana had raised Julianne with love and care. Meanwhile, Regina raised Lumi without a care and neglected her, like she was some stray animal. Later on, Lumi ended up being burned alive because Julianne needed a new identity.

Henry had met Regina first, and it had been love at first sight for him. However, they had lost touch because they hadn't exchanged any contact information.

Then, when Henry went to college, he saw Diana and noticed how much she resembled the goddess-like first love from his past. So, he started pursuing Diana instead. But ultimately, he failed and ended up with Mom instead.

Not long after Henry and Mom got together, he realized the girl he had fallen for at first sight was actually Diana's younger sister. But by then, Regina already had someone else by her side. So, he could only hide his feelings.

But later on, Regina lost her husband. However, Henry and Mom already had me and Jeremy. And Grandma would never allow Henry to get a divorce. So, even though his first love was single again, he could do nothing but watch her from afar.

As Regina was Julianne's birth mother, she, of course, treated Julianne especially well. Naturally, Julianne had always been especially fond of her "aunt" too.

Being as smart as she was, Julianne had always been puzzled as to why Regina doted on her more than her cousin, Lumi. Now, with everything that had been revealed, she immediately had her answer.

Maybe, deep down, Julianne had already known instinctively. She had already guessed why Regina treated her so much better than her "biological" daughter, Lumi.

Hence, Julianne wasn't shocked by the revelation, nor did she have difficulty accepting that Diana wasn't her birth mother. She also didn't dwell on the news.

All she did was look at Henry and exclaim, "Don't listen to the nonsense Emilia is spouting, Dad! Even if I am Aunt Regina's biological daughter, there's no guarantee my heart is a match! Besides, even if it is, Aunt Regina would never extend her life at the cost of mine!"
