I hadn't seen my parents or brothers for eight years. I bought them quite a lot of presents as well.I also introduced my daughter to them as well. "Mom, Dad, Luke, Emma, Jacob, and Jane, this is my daughter, Laura. She's just turned five two days ago."They all nodded indifferently, which made me feel awkward.Just when I didn't know what to do, James walked through the door with Brenda in his arms and Nova."Mom, Dad, we're back." Nova's voice was very sweet.A faint smile appeared on James's usually cold face as well. "Mr. and Mrs. Somerfield."My parents and two brothers immediately greeted them with a smile."Nova, James, you're finally here. Oh, Brenda's here as well. Come and give your grandma a hug.""Uncle Jacob wants a hug as well. I've bought you a piano. Let's head upstairs and take a look.""Give your grandpa a hug as well. I'll take you to the theme park."Brenda was surrounded by everyone like a princess and had a bright smile on her face.Laura held my hand a
James kept his head lowered and didn't look at me at all.I guessed that he wanted to divorce me as well.That way, he could successfully become Brenda's father and Nova's husband. He could also be the official son-in-law of the Somerfield family.However, I wasn't going to let him get what he wanted."I'm sorry, but the divorce is a matter between me and James. It has nothing to do with anyone else."With that said, I turned on my heels to leave.Jacob's cursing sounded from behind as I left. "Look at her. She's not grateful at all.""Don't say that, Jacob. It's not her fault that the nurses made a mistake at the hospital. Let's not bring the divorce up again in the future. We can't ruin her family because of Brenda.""How are you ruining her family?" Jacob was still mad. "James loves you, not her. I'm suggesting this for her own could. Instead of torturing each other, why can't she give both of them a better time by getting a divorce? Am I right, James?"I didn't hear James'
The day when we moved house, James stood at the door with a dark face."Catherine, do you think you're still a three-year-old? Why are you being so childish? I can't believe you're doing this just because I said something that you didn't like to hear."I remained silent and stood outside my new house. I just watched the cleaner cleaning my house.Laura seemed to be a little scared of James. She kept her arms wrapped around my legs the whole time.Brenda, on the other hand, held a doll in her hand with a proud look on her face.There was a ding, and the members of the Somerfield family walked out of the elevator.They ignored me and walked straight into James's house. They hugged and kissed Brenda."Hey, darling, are you happy living with your dad?""Look at what Uncle Jacob bought you, Brenda?"They only seemed to have remembered me a while later."What are you doing standing there? Go and make Brenda some food!" said Jacob.'Well, looks like they really think I'm a nanny. D
I closed the door with an indifferent look on my face and then bent down to comfort Laura."What's up, crybaby? Why are you crying again?"Laura continued sobbing. "Let me give you a rub, Mom. It'll ease the pain.""I'm not in pain at all." I picked Laura up in my arms and sat down on the sofa.I began to think that living too close to James wasn't exactly a good thing.Brenda was really important to the Somerfield family, so they would definitely come to James's house very often.Laura would be upset every time they showed up. This might lead to her having mental illnesses in the future. I had to rethink the arrangements for Laura's future.On the morning of the next day. I sent Laura to school and went to a charity house to see if Laura could be sent there after I died.The manager, Mrs. Brown, told me that Laura was not eligible to be taken in by the charity house.I cried and begged, "Mrs. Brown, I'm dying. My parents are dead, her father and his parents doesn't love her a
I had to take quite a lot of painkillers after arriving back home to ease the pain.I lay on the sofa with my eyes closed and felt that dying just like that would be a good thing.There wouldn't be any more pain if I died."Mom..." Laura quickly ran over to me and wrapped her arms around me. "I don't want Dad anymore. I don't want Mom to be in a quarrel with Mr. Frost."'Mr. Frost?' I wondered.It took me a while to realize that Laura was referring to James."Aw, don't cry, Laura. I promise you that I won't quarrel with him anymore."I pulled Laura into my arms and rested my chin on her forehead. Tears trickled down my face uncontrollably.That was when my phone suddenly started ringing. It was my best friend, Rory Lister.I quickly wiped the tears from my face and asked Laura to sit by my side before accepting the video call request."What made you call me today, Rory?" I asked.Rory smiled. "I just finished today's shooting and suddenly remembered that it was Laura's birth
Rory came back at eight o'clock in the morning on Friday. She didn't even have time to head back home and rushed straight to Laura's nursery.She began kissing and hugging Laura as soon as she arrived. "I'm sorry, Laura. I was caught up in something, so I'm a little late.""You're not late, Aunt Rory." Laura shook her head with a smile. "Thank you for coming, Aunt Roy. I'll treat you to some food later on."Rory laughed at those words and rubbed Laura's head. "I have a big appetite. Do you think you have enough money?""Yep!" Laura took out a piggy bank from her bag and passed it to Rory. "This should be enough. I have quite a lot of money in there.""Alright! Then I'll definitely..."Before Rory could finish speaking, I saw James and Nova at either side of Brenda as they walked towards the gates of the nursery.I stood at the entrance and felt a little jealous when I saw how happy the family of three was.However, after feeling jealous, all I had left was hatred."That's Jame
I turned and looked at Rory and Chris, then at Nova. I suddenly felt that things were getting too complicated.If I remember correctly, Chris should be Nova's husband. How did he become Rory's boyfriend?I frowned and felt that things were getting out of hand.The Somerfield family and the Shaw family were having a marriage alliance. Both Chris and I obeyed the arrangements of our family and got engaged.When the real daughter of the Somerfield family returned, the marriage was naturally Nova's responsibility.After that, I was kicked out of the family, so I didn't know what exactly happened between them.I didn't expect to see Chris, my ex-fiance, under such circumstances.I curved my lips helplessly. The relationship between the five of us was very complicated and could even be written as a book.At that moment, Chris took out a bag of crisps and passed it to me."You should have something to eat as well.""Okay." I forced myself to not be curious as I took the bag of crisp
I didn't participate in the parent-child event at all.Rory and Chris accompanied Laura and completed all the games. They had come in first place in many of them as well.Laura was also smiling very happily as well. She was so close to Rory and Chris that even I began to be a little jealous.Brenda seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the results today. She pointed at the certificates in Laura's hands and began sobbing again.James, being the loving father that he was, went to the teacher and asked if he could buy a certificate.However, he returned empty-handed. He then began having ideas for the certificates that Laura had."Laura, can you give Brenda one of your certificates? I can give you some money and you can go buy some of your favorite toys later on."Laura wrapped her arms around Chris's leg and began crying. "Uncle Chris, can you tell him to go away? I don't like him."James was taken aback at first, but then he raised his hand and slapped Laura in the face."Who
