"And the fact that Adriel is an introvert and doesn't get along with people makes it worse. We both know how challenging it was for you to connect with her during your visits.

Are you a part of the Thompsons?" she asked, eyeing him suspiciously. He nodded affirmatively. "Yes, I am. I apologize for not disclosing that sooner. I am the second child and the only son of the Thompson family. I realize I should have been more upfront about my identity from the beginning," he explained, his head slightly bowed in remorse."What's all this about? Why didn't you tell me right away?

He was unable to maintain his marriage because he never loved his wife,"
