What happened? Once they met Nellie the following day, Natasha was swayed once more! Cynthal gritted her teeth hard.
She swept a cold glance at Nellie.
“I still can’t understand what is so important that she would not even want to see her parents!“
“There are indeed things like that.“ Bethan suddenly said coldly.
Cynthal furrowed her brows and looked at her.
Bethan gracefully picked the teacup up and took a sip.” For example, revenge.”
This triggered Cynthal violently.
Bethan Peterson wanted to seek revenge? For what? At who? Was she seeking revenge on her? How dare she! She should have killed Bethan Peterson with her own bare hands! When the driver kicked her into the sea, it was too good a deal for her! If Cynthal had taken things into her own hands back then, Bethan Peterson would not have been alive, let alone give birth to that bastard of a child! Hints of resentment flashed across Cynthal’s face. She sneered at Bethan,
“You’re saying as if someone offended my sister.“ Cynthal gracefully pushed her hair back behind her ear.
“She was the one that left without a word.
She even said that she betrayed Brettley.
No one did anything to her, who is she seeking revenge on?” Then, Cynthal looked at Bethan coldly. Her eyes were filled with hostility and danger.
“You have never even seen her before, what right do you have to talk about her? How rude.” Unable to take Bethan being insulted by Cynthal, Nellie, who was next to Natasha, deliberately raised her voice while changing the subject.
“Grandma, I want to have some of this!” Natasha was stunned.
She immediately grabbed some food for Nellie.
“Cynthal, stop talking.
Nellie is still here.“ Cynthal harrumphed.
“I’m just telling the truth.“ Natasha furrowed her brows.
“Stop talking.“ Then, she looked at Bethan kindly.
“My second daughter’s character is just that way.
Please don’t mind her.“ Looking at her mother’s haggard, old face, Bethan’s throat tightened.
“But,“ Natasha sighed and said while taking food for Nellie,
“Cynthal is right.
No one did anything to her, nor offended her.
She left without a word and never appeared once for the last six years.
It is indeed quite disappointing.” Bethan bit her lips hard.
She looked at her wan and sallow mother.
In the end, she could not help it.
She gritted and said,
“You… also think that what she did was not right?“ Natasha looked at Bethan, stunned.
Bethan took a deep breath.
She cleared her throat and said,
“I have been working with Mr.
Morrison.
I have heard rumors of his ex-wife.
I always thought that they were just rumors.
When I hear what the two of you spoke of her today, I’m just a little curious.
What sort of person is Mr.
Morrison’s ex-wife like.“ She wanted to know how her mother thought of her.
Since young, her mother was the one that understood and loved her the most.
Bethan did not believe that her mother would be like the others, believing that she had an affair, which led her to leave without saying goodbye and getting into an accident.
She truly believed that her mother would not believe the lies that Cynthal and Brettley came up with.
However, she was wrong.
Natasha sighed and said,
“Lulu is a great kid, but… people make mistakes, right?“ Natasha smiled bitterly.
“Perhaps that man really treats her well, so well that she decided not to contact her family for six years.” Then, Natasha fed Nellie a spoonful of soup.
“Is that uncle treating your mommy well?“ Nellie was not paying attention to what Natasha and Cynthal were talking about. Upon hearing Natasha asking her about whether the uncle was treating her mommy well, she naturally thought of Malcolm Quinn.
Thus, Nellie smiled and drank the soup.
“Uncle Malcolm treats mommy well.
Me too!“ Upon hearing that, Natasha looked relieved.
“As long as she is well…”
“You hear that?
“ Cynthal glanced at Bethan coldly.
“Just do your job as a maid.
Don’t meddle in other people’s affairs.
How could we not know better than you what sort of person my sister is like?”
“Cynthal, have some.“ While Natasha was feeding Nellie, she placed some prosciutto into Cynthal’s plate.
“You’ve gotten skinny recently.“ Cynthal was indifferent to Natasha’s concerns.
She did not even thank her and picked up her utensils and ate them quickly. Bethan lowered her head and forced her tears from falling.
She has lost all energy to continue bickering with Cynthal.
Turns out this was how her mother thought of her.
After leaving her for six years, everything has changed. Her mother, who once used to believe her unconditionally, has been brainwashed by Cynthal.
She no longer believes in Bethan.
If only her mother could trust her more, she would realize Cynthal and Brettley’s scheme.
It was flawed and filled with errors.
If only her mother held on a little longer, she would have the courage to secretly reconcile with her.
She has left her mother for way too long.
She wanted to bury herself in her mother’s arms and cry. Distrust, misunderstood, and unfamiliarity.
They were like a huge wall blocking her.
She could only continue putting on her mask, being a stranger to her own mother.
Bethan did not enjoy that meal at all.
When she put her utensils down, her phone rang.
“Bring Nellie back after eating.” Brettley’s tone was cold and low.
“Your son has told me that you understood how Cynthal thought of Nellie.
If you knew so, why would you dare bring Nellie to have a meal with her? Hmm?” Bethan pursed her lips.
She turned back to look at Natasha who was happily playing with Nellie.
“Ms.
Nellie’s Grandma is here.
I just thought that Ms.Nellie just came back from overseas.
