Chapter 204 Ashton the Lifesaving Straw

The noise inside was simply too loud; it was difficult for Deborah and Alyssa to not hear it. Alyssa forgot her fear and looked up at Deborah. She lowered her voice. "Mommy, we didn't hear something we shouldn't have, did we?" Deborah couldn't understand what Mathias was saying. Just now at the dinner table, Mathias mentioned something about a baby, something about many years ago, and going to a distant place. It seemed that as soon as he spoke those words, Nora's face changed dramatically. Cassandra became flustered and repeatedly served Mathias several dishes, urging him to eat more. In other words, they naturally wanted him to shut up. Deborah had a hunch that there must be more to the story. And now, Alyssa might be right; they probably heard something they shouldn't have. Deborah instinctively grabbed Alyssa's hand and quickly walked away.
