Chapter 153
“Are you Gavin from the Clifford family in Brookspring?”
Sally’s mother let out a cry of surprise.
This made Gavin’s gaze instantly contract. He raised his head and looked at Sally’s mother in surprise.
He asked, “Do you know me?”
He was utterly surprised.
In this world, not many people were acquainted with Gavin. Not many people. knew he was from the Clifford family in Brookspring. Those who knew him were either enemies who were responsible for the tragic end of the Clifford family or individuals with significant backgrounds.
Even if it were anyone else, upon hearing his name, they would not immediately. associate him with the Clifford family in Brookspring, a family that was long gone.
many years ago.
However, Sally’s mother mentored his family directly.
This indicated that she seemed to have had a very close relationship with the Clifford family in Brookspring!
At this moment, Sally’s mother nodded vigorously.
She urgently said, “My name is Muriel Tenny, and I kept Muriel as my pen name.” Muriel mentioned her pen name. It was somewhat inexplicable.
However, Gavin’s pupils violently trembled, and he involuntarily exclaimed. “Are you my mother’s pen pal, Mrs. Muriel?”
Muriel replied, “That’s right!”
Pen pal. Sally’s mother was his mother’s pen pal.
Muriel and his mother had never met in person, only exchanged letters. Yet, they had formed a bond akin to close friends.
The two of them were very familiar with each other.
Regarding his mother’s pen pal, his mother had told him about her.
She had mentioned that Muriel had lost her husband before Sally was born.
Due to certain special reasons, her daughter had taken her last name.
And that last name was Tenny.
Initially, when Gavin heard Sally’s name, he didn’t associate Sally’s mother with his mother’s pen pal, Mrs. Muriel.
He thought Sally was using her father’s surname. So, in Gavin’s eyes, Sally’s mother wasn’t surnamed Tenny.

But now,
Muriel claimed to be his mother’s pen pal for over a decade. That was Mrs. Muriel that his mother mentioned!
On this side, Muriel seemed very excited as she nodded heavily and said, “That’s right, it’s me!”
Then, as if she remembered something, Muriel stood up from behind the dining table. She turned around and ran into her bedroom. Soon, she pulled out a large suitcase from her bedroom.
She beckoned to Gavin, saying, “Come, have a look. Wherever I go, I always carry the letters exchanged with your mother over these years.”
Saying this, she directly opened the huge suitcase.
Inside, the densely packed letters were filled to the brim.
Gavin took a step forward and hastily picked up a letter.
Gavin’s body started to tremble heavily, and his pupils turned wet in an instant.
It was his mother’s handwriting. He recognized it himself immediately!
It was indeed his mother’s handwriting!
Gavin kept flipping through these letters. Every letter contained the sweet correspondence between Muriel and his mother.
In almost every letter, his mother had to mention him to Muriel.
Every time his name was brought up, Gavin could sense his mother’s pride and deep love toward him.
Looking at these, the once happy life with his mother flashed through Gavin’s mind bit by bit. A tear slowly slid down Gavin’s cheek.
Watching Gavin, Muriel seemed to empathize, and a faint mist appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Then, she quickly pulled out two letters from the compartment of the suitcase. She handed them to Gavin, saying, “Gav, this is the last letter your mother gave me, including this attachment in it. She said if there’s a chance, you must open this letter yourself!
“I never thought that one day, I would really meet her son, meet you, Gav!”
Muriel’s voice also started to tremble.
His mother wanted him to open it personally.
After hearing this, Gavin directly threw away the letter he was holding in his hand and snatched the letter from Muriel’s hand.
In the letters his mother gave Muriel, Gavin could see that his mother’s tone was very mournful. At this moment, she had already known that the Clifford family was going to perish.
This letter might even have been written during the battle of the Clifford family.

At this moment, Gavin’s sense of sorrow and pain was almost unbearable. His hands were trembling as he opened the unopened letter.
In the first sentence at the beginning, Gavin couldn’t hold back his tears anymore. “Gay, Mom doesn’t believe you’re dead. Mom knows you must still be alive!” Especially upon seeing the words “mom,” Gavin’s emotions couldn’t be contained. anymore, and tears streamed down uncontrollably, making a soft “pat pat” sound. as they fell onto the letters.
In the letters, his mother expressed the longing she felt for him and the profound. maternal love she held.
As Gavin continued reading, his eyes were completely blurred by tears.
Even though Gavin was the Dark Lord of the Frostpeak Dark Warriors, even. though he was recognized as the incredible figure in the hearts of many formidable individuals, in front of his mother, he was still a child.
Reading his mother’s letter, the vulnerability hidden deep within him finally burst. forth without any defenses.
At this moment, Gavin was still like this.
Even Gavin had a fragile side.
In fact, he couldn’t even finish reading the letter left by his mother. He was already choked with sobs.
Feeling the sorrow from the innermost part of his heart, he kept muttering, “Mom… Mom…”
Watching this scene, tears welled up in Sally’s eyes, and her nose felt sour. As for Muriel, she couldn’t hold back anymore.
Looking at Gavin’s current state, the heartache made her cry uncontrollably.
She opened his arms and hugged Gavin in his arms.
She said with a sobbing tone, “Child, it’s been hard on you.”
She hugged Gavin tightly.
At this moment, the fragile Gavin seemed to have finally found something to rely on, and he reached back to hug Muriel.
Only now did Gavin realize that Muriel’s scent was somewhat similar to his mother’s.
The food made by Muriel also tasted similar to his mother’s.
Now, in Gavin’s eyes, Muriel seemed like the incarnation of his mother.
He buried his head in Muriel’s chest, silently weeping, and tears quickly wet Muriel’s clothes.
However, Muriel seemed to be completely unaware of this. She gently held Gavin, caressing his back.

The room was very quiet, and after an unknown amount of time, Gavin fell asleep.
It seemed to be because of his mother’s letters, or maybe it was because Muriel resembled his mother so much that he felt warmth and comfort. He fell asleep without any defenses.
This was something that was almost impossible at all times.
However, his hands still tightly held onto Muriel.
Muriel noticed this, but she didn’t seem to want to push Gavin away. Instead, she supported herself and sat Gavin on the sofa.
She whispered to her daughter Sally, “Sally, quickly bring a blanket and cover Gavin properly. Don’t let him catch a cold.”
This tender and caring behavior truly brought the warmth that was exclusive to at mother to Gavin.
Sally did not know what Gavin had been through, but she could feel his pain. She quickly did as she was told, covering Gavin with a blanket.
Muriel also noticed the late hour and sent her daughter to bed.
Concerned about her mother, Sally asked, “Mom, what about you?”
Looking at Gavin sleeping in her arms, Muriel smiled and shook her head.
She said, “It’s alright. I’ll stay with Gav here.”
From the letters given to her by Gavin’s mother, Muriel could feel the love her. pen pal had for her son..
She also knew how deep Gavin’s love for his mother was.
The pain Gavin felt from losing his mother made Muriel extremely heartbroken! At this moment, Muriel, holding Gavin, comforted him by caressing his head. She softly said, “Gav, sleep peacefully. From now on, I will be your mother.”
