I spoke slowly and clearly,
"Jessica, you should know very well."
Alter Casper went bankrupt, Jessica
abandoned him without hesitation.
She would rather be a mistress just to stay
with Steven. This showed she couldn't
bear to live without money.
Other men might not.
If Steven truly didn't want her anymore,
she would have to struggle to find another
wealthy care for her as Steven did,
nor would they want to build a life with her.
That was why Jessica would do everything
possible to stay by his side.
"Annalise!" Jessica didn't expect me to
threaten her, and her face turned grim.
I calmly urged, "I don't have much time"
Jessica gritted her teeth just as I was about to turn and leave, she blurted, "I'm sorry."
I turned back "Whoever did wrong should.apologize, right?"
Jessica harbored a deep resentment toward me. But for her and her son's future,
she had no choice but to endure.
She dragged her son forward.
"Apologize to this little girl!"
Her son refused to speak. Seeing that I was
about to leave with Willow, Jessica slapped
her son twice and said, "Are you ignoring my words, too?"
He immediately started crying. "I'm sorry!
I shouldn't have said those things!"
I knelt down and looked at Willow.
"Do you accept his apology?"
Willow shook her head. She then hugged me tightly without saying a word. I stood up,
gently patting her back to comfort her.
"Let's go then."
Jessica was clearly protective of her child.
"Does your daughter not even know how to
say it's okay?"
"Your son was the one who said something inappropriate to my daughter first."
I held Willow in my arms. "He is supposed to apologize since he has done something
wrong. As for my daughter…"
I looked at Willow. She had her arms wrapped around my neck and didn't even dare to meet my gaze.
"She can choose to forgive him or not. That's her right." With that, I walked away with
Willow in my arms.
Zane followed behind us.
"Mommy…"We had walked quite a distance
before Willow finally spoke.
She had always been considerate of me.
Usually, she didn't want me to carry her for
too long, worried that I would get tired.
But this time, she didn't let go of me.
I wasn't in a hurry to put her down. Upon
hearing her voice, I patiently asked,
"What's wrong?"
"I love you so much," Willow spoke softly,
hiding her face shyly against my neck.
"Being with you makes me feel so happy."
When others targeted her and did bad things, I would stand up for her and make those
people say sorry. This was a feeling she had
never experienced before.
I chuckled softly.
"Is that so Willow rubbed her face gently
against my neck. "Yes."
Leaving the small playground, Willow
suddenly found that the amusement park
wasn't so fun anymore.
Initially, she had wanted to show off that she
had a great mommy. But there were always
unpleasant people around, saying rude
things and annoying her. So she decided to
go home and spend some rare, happy time
with Zane and me.
At noon, Zachary was home alone.
He grew hungry and ate all the leftover
sandwiches from the morning while crying.
Usually, when I was around, his meals would always be hot.
But now, he could only eat cold food.
The door swung open. Zachary ran to the
entrance excitedly and shouted,
"Daddy, having a miserable time at home?"
you're back.. Do you know
ww your precious son is
