Chapter 59
Charlotte gently massaged her shoulders. She was good at controlling the force she used and Cecelia felt good.
Cecelia held her hand tenderly and pulled her to sit with her, “Silly child, I am not tired. I heard from the hospital that you have signs of miscarriage. You need more rest.”
“Mom, I’m fine, don’t listen to the doctor, I’m fine.” Charlotte’s hands didn’t stop, she simply gave Cecelia a real pounding on the leg.
“Charlotte, you are really good at massage! Where did you learn it?” Cecelia asked with genuine curiosity.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Oh, I used to give massages to the director of the orphanage.” Charlotte pretended to make light of the situation, “There are so many children in the orphanage, but I am the only one who is close to the director.”
Cecelia’s eyes are really red. Her poor daughter had to please others to earn a living when she was just so young.
In fact, right now, was her daughter pleasing herself? Because she was afraid she might have done something wrong? Afraid to upset her parents?
Since she returned, she could see that her daughter was careful when she was with them every day.
Every time she said anything her daughter opened her eyes wide, trembling as pathetic as a puppy, afraid of being abandoned again. She found the scene so heartbreaking.
Cecelia couldn’t help but hug Charlotte and sobbed softly, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s all mommy’s fault. Mommy will try to help you get what you want.”
Charlotte snuggled into Cecelia’s arms with a particularly contented soul.
“Charlotte, does Luther have something difficult to say?” Cecelia asked, her intuition telling her that things were not simple.
“Well, Shelly told me privately that he got married to a girl named Joyce because he was deceived by that girl. I heard it was to make his grandmother happy. His grandmother has terminal-stage lung cancer and she could not live much longer. When his grandmother passes away, they would divorce.” Charlotte sat up and said.
“Rather dutiful children.” Cecelia thought about it, “Are you afraid that they will fall in love with each other over time?”
Charlotte nodded, “After all, it’s always bad to let them live under the same roof. Even if it’s nothing, for a long time, they might…”
“I know, I’ll have a talk with her sometime. There’s always a way to get rid of it.” For her daughter’s happiness, Cecelia would certainly do whatever it took.
If it were not for her own daughter, Cecelia would not have had the idea of sending Joyce away.
Everyone just had their own destiny. It’s just that she felt so sorry for her daughter.
Let her daughter grow up in an orphanage and have to beg for a living. Now that she finally met someone she loved and got pregnant.
She could not let her daughter suffer the loneliness and pain of a single mother anymore.
And she could no longer let her daughter endure the world’s finger-pointing.
This was the only thing she could do for her daughter.
“Mom, I’m sorry for making you worry about me.”
Charlotte buried her head into Cecelia’s chest, pretending to cry, but in fact, she was just so happy deep in her heart.
A venomous smile curled up on her lips.
Joyce, you won’t believe it.
Your own mother would now turn against you. Just wait and see, how would she send you off?
She found it so good and so enjoyable to make the family fight each other.
Cecelia had no idea what was in her mind, wrapping her arms around Charlotte and just wallowing in heartache.
She wanted to make up for her daughter and did the best she could.
Even if it was something she was never willing to do, she would do it for her daughter.
