394 Chapter 390 – The Beautiful Brother

"Mother didn't abandon you!" Bella cried out.

Shadow Nineteen shook his head. "I didn't know that," he murmured. "I always thought that she had you, so she didn't want me or my father. I still remember how I was suddenly thrown out of your playroom when someone said that we looked similar."

Bella's eyes filled with tears. "I miss you, even back then. I threw tantrums for days when you were gone, but Grandmother said that you had your own family and you needed to go back to them and I couldn't keep you here selfishly…" she said sadly. "That's also one of the major reasons why I never had any close friends until I met Jules and the others…"

Shadow Nineteen took off his mask and moved closer to Bella. "I'm sorry," he said miserably.

Bella shook her head. "It wasn't your fault, either, Big Brother…" she said. "When did you realise that we were related?"

"Probably when I was thrown out of your playroom – but I wasn't sure until I was ten," he replied.
