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
In the end, I still went to the Glory with them.However, it was Rory and Chris who dragged me there.Sitting in Chris's Maybach, I smiled bitterly and asked, "Chris, aren't you upset seeing your daughter calling someone else Dad?""You should ask your ex-husband that question," Chris said casually."Why? He doesn't care about Laura. Are you willing to give them Brenda?" I changed into a more comfortable position and said, "James isn't a good father at all. You should ask for Brenda back when you get the chance."I felt that Brenda would become a selfish bitch sooner or later if she stayed with Nova and James.Chris pulled up at the side of the road before he turned around and looked at me. "Catherine, have you mistaken something? Brenda isn't my daughter."I quickly opened my eyes and gave him a puzzled look. "She's not your daughter? Aren't the two of you married?""What? You're my fiancee. Our names are written on the marriage contract, how can I abandon you?" Chris frowned.
I could feel that I couldn't live for much longer.The feeling of the fact that I was going to die soon made me scared.I began preparing for my own funeral.I wrote a will and went to the notary office with it.I gave all my assets to Rory. She was Laura's godmother and I believed that she wouldn't mistreat Laura.After that, I contacted Mrs. Smith, who used to take care of me back in the Somerfield family.I gave her a large sum of money and she promised me to take care of Laura for me.From that day onwards, I began to cook endlessly for Laura. She loved my cooking and I was worried that she would never have the chance to eat any of my cooking after I die. I stuffed the fridge full of things that I prepared for her. But that wasn't enough. I bought two more freezers and filled them as well.I had also split the food that I prepared for Laura in separate bags before putting them in the freezer.I had also prepared Laura's future birthday gifts as well, starting from her 6th
Thud!I dropped the phone on the ground because I couldn't hold it anymore. Tears welled up in my eyes and blurred my vision.That was the daughter that I doted on. How could they bully her like that?My heart ached and so did my chest.I felt that every cell in my body was experiencing excruciating pain.I grabbed Chris's hand and cried, "I'm dying, Chris. I beg of you to find a good charity house for Laura. The one I went to said that Laura's not eligible. I know you have connections to make this happen. Please, I beg of you..."After saying those words, I passed out.When I woke up again, I had tubes all over my body.All I could smell was disinfectant as well.Chris and Rory were both sitting by my bed. When Rory saw me waking up, she grabbed my hand. Her eyes were red and swollen from all the crying."Catherine, are you a fool? Why didn't you tell me that you were sick?"I forced a smile on my face. "It's no big deal. I didn't want to cause you any trouble.""You're dy
