The Prodigy Boy Is Actually A 25 Old Girl!?

Chapter 256 - Ch. 256 Meet An Old Girlfriend

Whenever Kaylee went to college and her husband went to work, Britney felt lonely alone in the house. But when Kaylee returned home, Mr. Zouch would also come home and play a good father and a good husband in front of Kaylee.

But Britney knew her bond with her husband was no longer the same, and there was an invisible gulf between them. 

Over the past two years, Britney has gotten used to living in her house with only her servants accompanied. All her needs were sufficed, and Mr. Zouch didn't hate her, though he didn't approach her the way he used to anymore.

When her husband and daughter were not at home, Britney would cook or look at the photo albums of her two daughters hidden in the warehouse. Or once in a while, she would go shopping to relieve her stress because she feels alone.

Her husband and daughter lived in the same house as her, but there was never a moment when Britney didn't feel lonely.

Now, Britney has been daydreaming since she found out that her daughter had multiple personalities. The fact that Roxy didn't lose her memory but created another individual from within her shocked Britney so much that she was speechless.

Even when Kaylee and her husband had returned home, Britney remained daydreaming as if she had isolated herself. She didn't have the mood to cook or shop. All she did was sit on the back porch staring blankly at the sky.

"Dad, what's wrong with mom?" asked Kaylee curiously. "I heard she's been like that all day."

Mr. Zouch sighed hearing that as he glanced at his wife, who was still sitting pensively behind the terrace. Usually, his wife would greet him when he or Kaylee came home. But the woman didn't do it today and sat in the back of the house.

"I'll talk to her. Go get changed."

"Change? Are we going somewhere?"

"How about we go to the cinema and watch some movie?"

"I'd love that!" agreed Kaylee excitedly and dashed toward her room to get dressed.

Mr. Zouch walked over to his wife and gently stroked the back of her head. "What are you thinking?"

Britney turned to her husband in disbelief. "Did you just… stroke me?"

"I did. What's so strange?"

"This… was the first you touched me in two years."

Mr. Zouch's eyes softened seeing his wife's teary eyes. He crouched down and clasped his wife's hand with both hands.

"I know I have been ignoring you for the past two years. The truth is, it hurts my heart to see you depressed, but… I can't forget that day… when you…."

"I understand. I'm sorry."

"No. I'm sorry. I should have listened to you a long time ago and left the organization. If I do, we won't lose our daughters. So, I'm sorry."

Britney shook her head, and their foreheads connected, not realizing their daughter was watching them with a stifled smile.

"Kaylee, how long have you been here?" Mr. Zouch was the first to notice his daughter's presence because Kaylee could barely contain her giggles.

"Are you guys fighting or something? Why do I feel like you guys are making up?"

Mr. Zouch and his wife looked at each other before they both burst out laughing. Britney noticed her daughter was dressed up as if she was going somewhere.

"Are you going somewhere, dear?"

"Aren't we going to the cinema?"

"Cinema?" Britney turned to her husband, who was now grinning widely.

"Yup. We're going to go tonight. You're coming?"

"You know I am." with enthusiastic steps, Britney rose to her feet and hurried to change clothes.

Since then, the invisible gulf between Britney and her husband has shrunk until it disappeared without a trace. Britney once again felt the family united even though there was a hole deep down in her heart.

Nevertheless, Britney could smile again as time went on and was relentless to pray for her daughter's coming back. She knew Roxy would never want to come back, but Britney hoped her daughter would.

It didn't matter if Roxy would hate her or stay away from her… the only thing Britney wanted was for Roxy to be herself and live happily.

Unfortunately, even after more than five years on and Kaylee decided to live in her own apartment, Britney couldn't find a way to bring Roxy back.

Until one day…

"Britney?"

Britney was at the shopping mall to buy new clothes for her husband and daughter when someone called her. She turned towards the source of the voice. Her brow furrowed in confusion because she didn't recognize the woman who was now walking towards her.

"I knew it was you. It's been a while, isn't it? How are you?"

Britney was still trying to dig through her memory to recall something about this woman, but she found nothing.

"I'm fine, thanks. But, I'm sorry. You are?"

"It's me. Helena. How could you forget me?" teased the woman.

"Helena? Helena Lopez??

Helena giggled happily because her old school friend remembered her. "It's Helena Black now. I'm married. You?"

"That's great, and yeah, me too. I'm married."

"I didn't know you were back in New York. I thought you moved out of town or something as soon as you graduated from college."

"Yeah. I think I missed my hometown."

"And you never think to reach me back. What an unfaithful girlfriend you are."

Britney laughed hearing that and took Helena's arm in a cheery mood. "We are no longer girls… girlfriend. Would you like to accompany me shopping?"

"Of course I do." Helena followed Britney wherever she went, and the two entered a women's clothing store.

"What do you think of this dress?" asked Britney for her friend's opinion.

"It's beautiful, but aren't you too old for that kind of dress."

"Oh, please. It's for my daughter."

"You have a daughter?"

"Yeah?" for some reason, Britney heard an enthusiastic voice at her best friend.

"How old is she?"

"She's 24. Why?"

"I have a son, and he's still single. What if we pair up our kids?"

Britney glanced at her friend and gave a forced smile. "I don't know. I prefer to let my daughter choose her partner."

"Oh, so does she have a boyfriend now?"

"No, not yet. But…"

"Then, it's perfect. I can assure you my son is handsome and a good man. We can be in-laws as we dreamed when we were kids."

Britney and Helena once had a dream to marry their two children when they grew up. But it was no longer Britney's dream.

Britney didn't want Kaylee to run away a second time, considering Roxy had run away once when she heard about her arranged marriage with Ezzo Raffetto.
