Chapter 638
“It’s alright, Mrs. Quill. I’m leaving soon, so I won’t be having the soup. I don’t think Emi wants any either. Why don’t you come with me instead?” Irvin said.
Back then, he had shown great respect to my parents because he wanted to mend the relationship between me and them. He wanted me to finally receive the love I longed for.
But now that he knew I no longer wanted that, and after experiencing how biased Agatha could be, he also came to understand that not all motherly love was essential.
So when he knew that I no longer wanted to see Mom, he tried to take her away and stop her from bothering me.
But she completely ignored him and acted unaffected by how broken our relationship had become. She acted as if we were a loving mother and daughter.
“If you have things to do, go ahead. I simmered the soup for over ten hours. It’s perfect for nourishing a pregnant woman’s body. Even if she doesn’t want to drink it, she should,” she said.
Then Mom turned to me and said, “Emi, I know I made many mistakes in the past that hurt you deeply. I truly realized I was wrong. Can you give me a chance to make it right?
“When I was pregnant with you and your brother, I couldn’t stand the smell of fish either, just like you now. We are so alike.
“Your grandma was at her busiest when I was pregnant, and she had no time to take care of me. I looked after myself throughout the entire pregnancy. Some people need C–sections just to deliver one child, but I managed to give birth to both of you naturally.
“You’re pregnant with twins now, so you need someone experienced to take care of you. Please give me this chance, for yourself andra smooth delivery, okay?”
Hearing her say that, it sounded like without her care, I wouldn’t be able to give birth safely.
I couldn’t help but laugh and said, “There are plenty of experienced people out there. Anyone would be safer and more reliable than you. I would pick anyone but you.”
Before she could say anything else, I added, “If you really feel guilty and want to make it up to me, then please stay as far away from me as possible. That would be the best thing you could ever do . ”
Mom had never felt guilty toward me before. She always believed that giving me life was the greatest gift she could give, and that alone justified everything she did.
So no matter how she treated me or how harsh her words were, she never saw them as wrong.
Until now.
All I did was express my honest feelings. I didn’t even say anything cruel, yet it hurt her so deeply that she could barely breathe.
Mom couldn’t imagine how painful it must have been for me to hear the terrible things she’d said in the past.
Already filled with guilt and regret because of what Julianne had said to her, she suddenly empathized with me and felt even worse, finally realizing how terrible her actions had been to me before.
Ever since Mom was shaken by Julianne’s words, she had been reflecting on her entire life and the people around her.”
it became, leaving her trembling in remorse.
The more she thought about it, the more terrifyin
Because when she looked back on her life, she saw how her own parents had only cared about her brother when he was alive.
After he died in an accident, they pushed her into marriage and urged her to have children, just so the family line could continue.
They had never cared whether Mom was happy.
