Chapter 32
“Evelyn, this child, can I keep it?” My hand touched my belly, I asked with uncertain words.
Although I was asking Evelyn, it was more like asking myself.
Evelyn’s expression suddenly changed when she heard this, and she immediately looked at me seriously, “Leanna, what do you mean? You don’t want this baby?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
My eyes immediately turned red. “I grew up in a single parent family, and I know what it is like. I don’t want my children to suffer the same fate as me.”
“But the child is innocent. This is a small life. Do you really have to do it?” She looked impatient.
“I don’t know, Evelyn, I really don’t know what to do… His father doesn’t want him, and I can’t give him a complete family. It’s enough for me to experience this unfortunate life. Can I let my children experience it again?” As I said this, I burst into tears.
I thought that the baby in my belly was the crystallization of Edmund’s love with me.
Obviously, I was wrong.
Maybe Edmund never thought of marrying me from beginning to end.
Evelyn said nothing but hugged me.
The next morning, while I was still sleeping, I suddenly heard a scream in the living room.
I woke up, rubbed my eyes, got out of bed, and walked out of the room. Evelyn was brushing her teeth while she was flirting with her mobile phone.
“Evelyn, what’s wrong with you?”
Evelyn wiped her mouth when she saw me. She was a little embarrassed. “Leanna, did I wake you up?”
“It’s OK. Anyway, I sleep a little. What did you cry just now?” I walked up to her and looked at her mobile phone.
When she handed me her mobile phone, she saw the headline news on the news client, which was the news of the marriage between The King family and The Fisher family.
The accompanying picture is a group photo of Edmund and Myrna. It’s really a pair.
When I saw the photo, I felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
Evelyn还在解释,”Leanna,看到没?这就是我之前跟你说过的,我们董事长千金和未来姑”
Evelyn also explained, “Leanna, do you see? This is what I told you before. Is Mr. Edmund handsome? I only saw him once in the company, saw his side face, and was stunned by him. Miss Fisher is really happy to marry such a perfect man. ”
I stared at the pictures on my mobile phone, feeling cold all over, and my blood seemed to be frozen.
When I left the villa, I had a little hope in my heart that Edmund would come to me, but obviously I was wrong.
Maybe, he just don’t know how to speak to let me leave.
Now I’m leaving to make room for Miss Fisher, so they are busy announcing the wedding.
“On September 8, Eh, isn’t it more than half a month later? The King family really moved quickly, and the wedding was held so soon. I don’t know if I, a clerk, can receive an invitation to attend the wedding. I’m looking forward to it.” Evelyn looks crazy.
But now I feel like I’m in an ice cellar.
Next month, he was so eager to marry Miss Fisher.
I’m so stupid. I even imagined that I would disappear and he would be anxious to find me.
Evelyn beside was crazy for a while, then suddenly remembered that she was going to be late for work, so she went back to change clothes and went out.
I was sitting on the sofa in the small living room. My mobile phone had been off since yesterday. Now, it seems that it doesn’t matter whether I turn it on or not.
He didn’t look for me, so who did I turn off my mobile phone for?
With a sneer at myself, I picked up the phone and pressed the power on button.
Because the phone does not activate call reminder, I cannot receive all missed calls when I turn off the phone.
The phone rang suddenly after a few minutes of power on.
I was startled by the ringing tone and took a look at the caller ID, which was a strange number.
Who will call me?
Edmund?
The only thing that popped out of my mind was the name, but soon, I shook my head again.
He is ready to get married. How can he call me back?
After much hesitation, I slipped the answer button.
“Hey, Leanna, is that you?” At the other end of the phone, there was a familiar voice, which I didn’t really hear.
“Who are you?”
There was a trace of anger in her voice.
mom?
Hearing this name, I felt a surge in my stomach.
“What do you want to do with me?”
“Look at what you said? What can my mother do for you? Of course I miss you. Where are you now? Can my mother treat you to lunch?”
“No need. Since there is nothing to do, I will hang up.” I don’t know why the mother who has b suddenly became so intimate. This change reminds me of my father who I haven’t met for a long time. I’m afraid.
“Hey, hey, don’t hang up, don’t hang up, Mom has something to tell you.” She said hurriedly.
“Go ahead.”
“But I can’t tell you clearly on the phone for a moment. Well, if you don’t want to have dinner with me, can we find a place to have a cup of coffee? It won’t take you too much time, just half an hour, OK?”
I hesitated for a moment.
“Hannah, how is she now? I heard that she went to study abroad. Is she OK?” She asked again on the other end of the phone.
Hearing her mention of Hannah, my heart suddenly softened.
Yes, even if I don’t like this mother, but now that she wants to care about Hannah, can she see Hannah?
Maybe Hannah doesn’t reject her like I do.
How can I refuse for Hannah?
“Now you remember to care about Hannah?” I have a cold voice.
“Yes, I know it was wrong for my mother to leave your sisters, but you also know that your father was like that. What can I do as a woman? Can I keep him and take your sisters to starve to death? Leanna, mother knows that you hate me, and I don’t expect you to forgive me, but please give mother a chance to meet and tell how Hannah is now? You have grown up, and can support yourself, but Hannah is still studying. I know it costs a lot of money to study abroad. Mom can help her. ”
As soon as I heard that Hannah was involved, I couldn’t bear to refuse, so I asked, “Send me the time and address.”
“OK, I’ll send it to you right away. Do you need me to tell the driver to pick you up?” She asked thoughtfully.
“No, I’ll go by myself.” I didn’t mean to refuse directly.
When I hang up, my mobile phone receives a short message with the time and address of the meeting.
I took a look at the address and threw the phone aside.
I took a taxi to a coffee shop in the city center, which was decorated in a very stylish way.
Just entering the door, I saw my mother sitting in the corner.
She also noticed me and quickly got up and waved to me.
I raised my foot to her, and she pulled the chair for me. She was very attentive.
“I haven’t seen you for a few years. You are more and more beautiful, just like me when I was young.” She looked me up and down and smiled.
I was not happy to hear her say so.
she did not look old because she had been well cared for a long time, but the fine lines around her eyes still showed signs of age.
Today, she specially wore a dark green wrap dress. Her hair was elegantly pulled up, and she wore a pearl necklace around her neck. She looked like a noble lady.
The waiter came to order, I ordered a cup of coffee, and then looked at her face, “Tell me what you have.”
Her face stiffened slightly, and then she said, “Leanna, the thing that happened in those days was that I was sorry for you two. I was a mother, and I chose my own way out without thinking about you. In fact, I dreamed about you every night these years, and I…”
I didn’t want to hear her confess her fault, so I interrupted without waiting for her to finish saying, “Don’t say anything more about that year. If you have nothing else to say, I will go first.”
After that, I was ready to get up and leave.
She stopped me quickly,
At this time, the waiter brought coffee.
I picked up the coffee and took a sip. I felt a little nauseated. I just frowned and put the coffee on the table instead of touching it.
“Coffee is not good? Let’s change it.”
“No, I don’t want to drink anything.” I refused coldly.
“Hannah, how is she abroad? What’s her major in the university?”
“She is very good. She is a medical student in a famous school. Now she is a graduate student, and may study for a doctor next.” I said expressionless.
Her eyes were a little moist, and she was pleased to say, “Well, mother is really happy to see that you are all so successful. Hannah has been smart sinces he was a child..”
Hearing her mention of Hannah’s illness, my nose was a little sore, and I tried to bear the bitterness in my heart and said, “Yes, she was so sick in those years, and you and my father didn’t care about her..”
in order to save Hannah’s life, I took my own love and innocence, but now that I think about it, everything is worth it.
After all, Hannah has only one.
mother looked at the coffee cup in front of her and said, “I want to save her. I have all the money ready and intend to send it to you. But Lyndon know, so he learned about it. He also knew that I had been giving money to subsidize your sisters all those years. He was very angry. I was not allowed to give you any more money or see you…”
“So, you really don’t care about us, for fear of offending your rich husband.”
In the end, our sisters are not as important as prosperity in her mind.
“Yes, I’m afraid…” She didn’t deny her selfishness. She sniffed, wiped the tears from her eyes and said, “You went to The Moore family that day and saw my life there. You can guess that I didn’t have a good time there.”
“Yes, I saw it, so I don’t understand why you have to stay at that house. Are you so reluctant to give up Lyndon’s money?” I don’t understand how far a person has to be greedy for vanity to lose self-respect and face for the sake of money.
