Nathalie was completely taken aback. Miranda, who always held herself in such high esteem, was actually apologizing to her. It was like seeing pigs fly.

Miranda had lowered herself to say sorry, and with Nathalie's soft heart, she was almost ready to forgive her on the spot.

But just as she was about to reassure her, Nathan stepped in with a firm voice, "You're just apologizing to Nathalie because you want something from her. Nathalie won't accept your apology. It's time for you to go."

Tears streamed down Miranda's face. "No, it's not like that. I've truly realized my mistakes. These past days have been a wake-up call, living like a beggar and experiencing the world's harshness. It made me understand what Nel went through. I was so cruel to her, and I mean it when I say I'm sorry."

Nathan shot back, "Ever heard of 'too little, too late'? That's what this is."

Miranda covered her face and cried.

Nathalie felt that since Miranda was older and was apologizing so humbly, she ought to be forgiving and generous.

Nathalie said, "Alright, what do you want from me? As long as it's not too much, I'll try to help."

Miranda replied, "These past days, I've been reflecting on your childhood. You were smart, adorable, hardworking, and kind, always listening to Those were probably the happiest days of my life. Nathalie, I have a request. My days are numbered, and I wish to live with you again."

Nathan was vehemently against it. "I don't agree. You were happy, sure, but your happiness came at Nathalie's expense."

Miranda looked crushed. But knowing Nathalie's soft spot, she pleaded, "Nel, I don't have much time left. I just want to relive the time we shared..."

Nathalie was quiet for a long while.

Then she suddenly looked up and said, "I can take you in."

Miranda's face lit up with joy.

Nathalie added, "But I need you to tell me about my father."

Nathan looked at Nathalie with worry, sensing her unresolved longing for her father.

After pondering for a moment, Miranda decided to spill a shocking truth. "I think it's time you knew the truth.'

She began, "Actually, I'm not your biological mother."

Nathalie wasn't surprised; she'd had her suspicions for a while.

Miranda's favoritism towards the spoiled Greta and her harshness towards the sensible and smart Nellie were clear indicators to anyone paying attention.

"Who is my real mother?" Nathalie asked.

Miranda lowered her head, taking a moment before she said, "Actually, I'm your aunt, and you're my sister's daughter."noveldrama

Nathalie was stunned.

Given the strong family ties, Miranda should have treated her better out of respect for her sister.

Miranda paused, then continued,

"My sister came from humble beginnings but was incredibly

intelligent and beautiful. She topped the national college entrance exams and got into the country's most prestigious university, where she met your father."

"My sister, despite her modest

background, attracted many

admirers with her beauty, brains,

and achievements. Your dad wet

ve

one of them. He pursued her relentlessly until she finally agreed

to be his girlfriend."

Miranda's eyes gleamed as she spoke.

"But honestly, she didn't like your dad at all. Our family was in crisis back then; your grandma was diagnosed with cancer and needed a significant amount of money for treatment. We tried borrowing money, but our relatives avoided us, knowing we couldn't pay them back. Your dad found out about our troubles and offered to help. Being the rich guy he was, he could easily part with a million. Even though your mom was a university grad, she knew repaying such a huge amount was beyond her, so she agreed to be his girlfriend."
