Chapter 110: Mom’s Apology
Seeing Elena’s questioning eyes, Carole was hurt and defended herself with red eyes, “No, no, Edward and I were together back then when Edward and Susan met.”
“So I’m his daughter?” Elena asked even though DNA had been done.
Carole kept shaking her head, tears coming out of her eyes, “No, no, you’re not Edward’s child.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Could it be that you are not together?” Elena looked at her mother so agitated and further pursued the question.
“Yes, we were together, but back then Edward wanted to get married and I took the baby out in a fit of anger.” Carole wiped her tears with a handkerchief, as if she was deliberately hiding something.
“But they got married, even after he had a child, and you got back together, and still moved into his house, have you ever thought about, his wife’s feelings? Have you ever thought about how their kids feel?” Elena thought of Fred’s hatred for Carole and spoke accusingly.
“I know, but I didn’t want to be like that, she forced me to at the time, and I was already punished, and I left afterwards.” Carole cried as the two children watched there, neither saying a word.
Although they are very smart, but the adults say things, they do not understand at all, especially or old, except to know and daddy, mommy related, do not understand at all.
The first time I saw her, I was so happy to see her, but I hated her even more. She made her life go from heaven to hell all of a sudden, and it was her mistake that ruined her happiness.
“Not exactly, child, mother does not ask you to forgive, but ……”
“But I should have given up my husband to Bess, right? I should give up the father of my child to your other daughter yes?” Elena straightened up in agitation, with an indescribable pain and hate in her heart.
Why did God give her such a mother? Why did she have to know she had such a mother?
“No, child, you do not get excited, not so, Bess will never marry Fred, even if he is not your husband, not your child’s father, I will not allow her to marry Fred’s ……” Carole said, more excited and trembling hands reached into the bag, as if looking for something.
“Then what do you want me to do?” Elena looked at Carole and wanted to be angry, wanted to rebuke, but couldn’t say anything. This was her mother, after all.
“No, you don’t need to do anything, it’s mommy who is sorry, it was mommy who abandoned you back then, even if you disown me today, I have nothing to say.” Carole’s voice trembled as she finally took her phone out of her bag.
“It doesn’t matter to me anymore whether I recognize you or not, I have a mom and dad, a normal family.” Elena don’t open her eyes, she is afraid that she is soft, at this time must not be soft hearted.
“Hold on, I’ll call Bess.” Carole said and pulled the phone.
“Bess, you can’t marry Fred, the wedding is off.”
Elena suddenly heard Carole tell Bess to cancel the wedding and turned her head in shock, looking at her tear-filled mom.
“Mommy, what are you talking about? Have you been brainwashed by Elena?” Bess’s growl came from the other end of the phone.
“No, Bess, it’s fine with Mommy who you want to marry, but you can’t marry Fred” Carole looked at Jeffery and Jack’s two curious faces and said with a hard heart, “He already has a child and is married, Bess, no matter what. Mommy can’t let you marry a married man.”
“Mommy, what married man, did Elena tell you she was married to Fred again? Mommy, I told you not to go see that woman, but you had to, and now she’s trying to use the baby to blackmail Fred, she’s dreaming.” Bess said smugly on the other end.
“Bess, you give Fred’s number to mommy, mommy talk to him.” Carole knew her daughter’s character well and knew she couldn’t convince this stubborn daughter no matter what, thus she said.
“Mommy, I won’t say yes, I will never give up Fred, I want to marry him, even if you want to break off the mother-daughter relationship, the wedding will still be held as usual.” Bess finished yelling and surprisingly hung up the phone.
Carole stared blankly at the phone, tears falling on the screen, for a while, before wiping them away and asking Elena, “Elena, you have Fred’s number too, right?”
“It’s useless, he hates you so much, getting married is just his way of getting back at you, he won’t agree to break off the wedding.” Elena shook her head, even if Fred’s phone number was given to her, it was useless, if Fred could give up revenge so easily, the couple wouldn’t be in such a stalemate.
Carole looked at Elena in a daze, and only after a long time did she say in shock, “He wants to get back at me? How did he know about me? I remember that time, he was still young?”
“I don’t know, but he’s been looking for you, and getting married to Bess is the beginning of his revenge, and his plan is to dump Bess at the wedding and make you ……”
“No, it won’t happen, I remember that time, he was still small, it’s impossible, Elena, you will give me his phone number, I will talk to him.” Carole kept shaking her head, and then said.
“The things in this world have a cycle of karma, back then you destroyed other people’s families and hurt them, today God wants your daughter to pay for it, this is retribution.” Elena held back to keep her tears from flowing.
When her mother destroyed Fred’s family and took away the happiness of others, today God wants her two daughters to pay for it. Bess fell in love with Fred and was destined to be hurt, and she herself, two children, could have been a happy family, but it was shattered because of her mother’s mistake back then, this is retribution. Suddenly, Elena seemed to understand, pessimistic: “Back then, when you intervened in other people’s families, did you ever think that one day it would come back to your daughter?”
Carole, who was accused of resentment by her daughter, said bitterly, “I didn’t, no, no, it was Edward and I who met first, we were the couple, we were supposed to be a couple, Susan was the one who interfered, she was the third party …… ”
Elena said sarcastically, “Really? Fred and I have been married for five years and have had children, today Bess is going to intervene and in her eyes, I, the rightful wife, am also the third party, it seems she has inherited your genes.”
Carole cried to Elena: “Elena, don’t say that, she is my daughter, so are you, and I will never let her break up your marriage, never, you can rest assured that she will never marry Fred, I promise you? Just give me his phone number and I promise you that no one will ever break up your family.”
“It’s useless, go away, if you really don’t want to break up my marriage and my happiness, if you want your daughter to be happy, take her back to America.” Elena was so tired, Bess’s stubbornness, Fred’s stubbornness, she really couldn’t help it, if only her mother could take Bess away, then everything would be solved.
But Carole sighed, “If I could talk Bess out of it, she wouldn’t be in China today.”
Kevin knocked on the door and came in, “Aunt Carole, your coffee, Elena, Jeffery, Jack, your milk.”
“Brother, why don’t you help me see Ms. Carole off, I’m a little tired.” Elena didn’t take the milk, she just lay down flat, she was really so tired after talking for so half a day and being so emotional.
“Elena, give me the phone, will you?” Carole knew Elena didn’t want to talk to her anymore, but still wouldn’t give up.
Kevin heard that Carole wanted Fred’s phone number, he was happy to give it, but Elena was here, in case Elena knew, she would be upset, so he said to Carole: “Auntie Carole, you go back first, Elena is not well, the doctor said she should rest more and not get excited, please you can come back another day.”
“Elena, I’ll see you tomorrow then.” Carole said as soon as she walked away and turned back.
How much she wanted to hear Elena call her mommy, she wanted so much to hear her two children call her grandmother, but those two children, the way they looked at her, were full of hostility.
“Mommy, we’ll help you see off the guests.” Jack quickly slid off the bed and gave Jeffery a look.
Elena didn’t say anything, she was really tired, her body was tired and her mind was even more tired.
“Aunt Carole, I’m really sorry, do you want Fred’s number, I’ll ……” Kevin volunteered after leaving the hospital room.
“Uncle, you are not allowed to give her daddy’s phone number, she made mommy cry, not a good person.” Before Kevin could say the phone number, Jack and Jeffery had a tacit agreement to shout.
Carole looked at the two children and said sadly, “Thank you, I think I should go to The Cloud Group, there are some things that would be better said face to face.”
Car1ole finished to leave, but Jack ran ahead quickly, blocking her way and said, “You can’t tell daddy about seeing us.”
“Don’t worry guys, I won’t tell him that I came to the hospital.” Carole said with a gloomy look.
“Aunt Carole, that’s not what they meant, it’s like this, Fred doesn’t know about Jeffery and Jack, five years ago, although he and Elena registered, but after that the separation is five years, and Elena didn’t tell him about the two children.” Kevin saw that Carole did not understand, immediately translated for the two children.
Hearing that Fred did not even know that he had children, Carole was even more shocked, “He 、、、、 he did not know?”
“Yes, so please keep it a secret, Jeffery, Jack, you guys go back to stay with mommy first, I’ll see this grandma off.” Kevin had something to say to Carole, but Jeffery and Jack, the two little ‘spies’, made him very distressed, so he said.
The two little ones shook their heads at the same time with a look of disdain and said.
“Uncle is not allowed to snitch either, we don’t want Daddy, having Mommy is enough, he can marry whoever he wants, anyway, we and Mommy will be going back to Italy soon.”
