Hannah felt frustrated witnessing the scene.She had never experienced maternal love since childhood. And she would likely never have the chance to experience that. However, she knew that her mother must have loved her deeply. Perhaps it was because she hadn't experienced it that she couldn't stand to see those who dismissed it.She hoped Karen could open her eyes and not let Mary worry about her like this."Bitch, who gave you the right to lecture me?"Karen felt Hannah was being sarcastic. She angrily retorted. "You're just a poor girl from the slums and relied on your looks to climb out from there! "Do you think that you're worthy to point fingers at me? You—!""Karen, that's enough!"Before Karen could hurl more insults, Morgan raised her voice, interrupting her. Morgan's eyes were pooled with tears, her cheeks pale as she looked at Karen sadly. "Hannah didn't say anything much. How could you insult her like this?"Just like before, how could she just utter nonsense ab
Karen didn't even care about her own life, so Hannah wouldn't be so much of a bother since she was just an outsider to them.Ignoring Karen's insults, Hannah turned and entered the school.Meanwhile, Morgan seemed to be contemplating.She clutched the straps of her backpack and said softly, "Mom, will you really not bring Karen to see a psychologist? Like Hannah said, you don't necessarily need to be sick to see one! "Studies have shown that if you feel something is wrong with your mood, you can see a psychologist for some guidance."She bit her lip and continued, "Karen has not been in a good mood recently, right? Maybe talking to a psychologist will help her feel better?"Mary, who was initially unwilling, hesitated when she heard this. She looked uncertain. "Do you think it's a good idea?" She hesitated, "Don't you have to be mentally ill to see a psychologist?""You can go if you want, I won't go!" Karen's face changed drastically, and she looked at them as if they were h
Hannah did not refuse Diana's friendly invite. So, when the weekend arrived, Darren, who had deliberately brought work home, discovered that Hannah looked like she was about to go out."Hannah, do you have plans today?" he calmly asked, looking down."Are you not going to be home today?" Naomi widened her eyes in disappointment. "I thought I could spend the day with you! I always feel more motivated to study when you're around.""I made plans to have afternoon tea with Ms. Sorsby. I probably won't be back for dinner," Hannah said.Diana? Naomi suddenly sat up with her lips pursed. "Hannah, do you want me to accompany you?"She had figured it out a long time ago. These people were all after Hannah! Naomi was ready to defend Hannah at all costs!Hannah hesitated for a moment. "Maybe next time." She usually didn't mind bringing her younger siblings along. But with Diana clearly in a bad mood due to her recent breakup, it would be awkward to bring someone else along.Naomi l
"It was a first for me to like someone, and I haven't handled many things well. I ended up disappointing and upsetting you. It's all my fault," Cedric whispered.There was a bitter smile on his handsome face, and he sadly continued, "Even a formal apology is a first for me. Forgive me for not having much experience. I don't know how to make it up to you."Diana blinked at the sight before her. The usually cold and proud man was lowering himself to apologize and express his feelings. It was somewhat touching, especially the phrase "for the first time", as if he had only learned love when he met her. His somewhat awkward and stiff behavior made him even more charming.Unfazed by the attention from onlookers, Cedric pulled out a big bunch of roses. The bouquet was so huge even when he held it. It obscured a significant portion of his frame, causing a few surprised gasps in the coffee shop.Accompanied by a romantic melody in the background, he walked over to Diana and kneeled on
After a short while, Diana said, "Cedric, I've always thought of you as naturally aloof, not someone expressing emotions. "I never imagined you kneeling before me, preparing such a romantic surprise." She smiled mockingly. Life was full of surprises. Diana never expected to develop such strong feelings for someone or even consider that the usually passive Cedric would propose to her someday.It turned out he's not incapable after all. With mixed emotions and regret, she gently shook her head and bit her lower lip. "When I wanted it most, you didn't give it to me. "What's the point of giving it to me now? Cedric, I can't forgive you. I can't lie to myself that I've forgiven you."Whenever she saw him, she thought of how he eagerly kissed another woman in the film and television series."Sorry, it's over between us." She couldn't help but cover her face, tears silently streaming down.Big drops of tears rolled down from her fingertips. The tears resembled pearls. It was lik
Seeing Diana coming to terms with the situation, Hannah sighed in relief.She wondered if the chronic influence of the storyline made Diana so captivated by Cedric.However, Hannah genuinely liked Diana for her self-confidence and determination to pursue her goals.She didn't want Diana to end up like the cliché characters in books, sacrificing everything for a man, forsaking her family, and destroying her future.It was like becoming a lovesick fool.The two of them, understanding each other without words, avoided mentioning Cedric and resumed their light-hearted banter. Soon, the atmosphere became relaxed and joyful.Little did they know, a pair of resentful eyes was watching from outside the coffee shop.Misty, who should have been on set, stood at the corner wearing a mask, glaring towards the cafe.She was so frustrated that she felt like she could crush her phone.Damn it, damn it, damn it! Why did all her misfortunes seem to involve Robert?She had excused herself from
Robert's body stiffened slightly. He subconsciously attempted to step back. "Misty, you—""Robert, you saw it just now, didn't you?" Misty didn't give him a chance to evade, tightly hugging him.Her voice turned tearful as she said, "Sometimes, I wonder if I'm truly not worthy of love. That's why I'm being tortured like this.""No! You're a good person. You deserve the best in this world." Robert was frantic as he gripped her shoulders. "It's Cedric who doesn't know how to cherish you. If you were my girlfriend, I'd definitely protect you. I won't let you suffer. I couldn't bear to see you sad, not even momentarily.""Really?"Misty looked up with teary eyes to seek affirmation. "If you were my boyfriend, you'd treat me well, right?""Of course, I'd hold you in my hands, ensuring you're happy daily. But …" A hint of sorrow appeared in Robert's eyes as he continued dryly, "I'm not qualified."They met each other when there was already someone else in their lives."Robert, ab
Accusations and interrogations rained down on Misty, intensifying the hatred in her heart.Her lips curled into a wry smile.What had gone wrong for him? Was it the part where he knelt before Diana, pleading for forgiveness like a dog?How could he have the audacity to accuse her so self-righteously?Misty's face turned dark as anger and resentment surged within her, almost overwhelming her reason.At that moment, a warm hand grasped her slightly cold one.Misty looked up and saw Robert gazing at her with gentle concern. His eyes were full of worry.He silently held her and gently patted her back as if he was handling a precious treasure.There was someone who loved her. Not everyone treated her like Hannah, abandoning her like a worn-out shoe. She belonged to someone else.One day, she would make Diana regret bitterly, living the rest of her life in remorse."I took leave because I missed you ... I wanted to see you," she said, slightly shaking her head.Her cold eyes softe
