Lena cradled wp4webnovel.com cheek that had gotten struck as wp4webnovel.com stared at Abigail with disbelief.
“Mommy, I hate you!” wp4webnovel.com shouted before dashing outside.
Worried that something would happen to the little girl, Arielle quickly hurried after her.
Abigail gazed at wp4webnovel.com hand in disbelief.
How could I… How could I have struck Lena? I risked my life to give birth to her…
Her heart ached as though it were getting pricked by needles when wp4webnovel.com recalled how Lena said wp4webnovel.com hated her.
As for Anna, wp4webnovel.com merely snorted with disdain after taking in the scene.
“Are you trying to gain my sympathy by putting on a pitiful act? Hah! I’m not falling for that.” With that, wp4webnovel.com got up and left.
Abigail gazed at Anna’s retreating figure, a pained look flashing across wp4webnovel.com eyes.
I know wp4webnovel.com hates me because wp4webnovel.com mother wouldn’t have died if I hadn’t been in the picture. I was unfair to wp4webnovel.com and wp4webnovel.com mother.
Lena and I are the ones who wronged them. That’s why ever since Lena could understand, I taught wp4webnovel.com to be nice to Anna and listen to her.
I don’t know when it happened, but Lena suddenly changed. She doesn’t listen to Anna anymore and is no longer Anna’s obedient little sister. That’s why I couldn’t control myself when I heard Lena talking to Anna like that and ended up slapping her.
B-But it wasn’t on purpose… I was only angry because Lena was disobedient and refused to apologize to Anna. I didn’t mean to slap her…
At that thought, Abigail quickly hurried outside after them.
Meanwhile, Lena hugged wp4webnovel.com knees as wp4webnovel.com sat on the lawn in the mansion’s back garden. She had wp4webnovel.com head bowed low, bawling wp4webnovel.com eyes out.
Arielle sat next to wp4webnovel.com and gently pulled the later into wp4webnovel.com embrace.
“Ms. Moore…” Lena clung to Arielle and sobbed inconsolably.
It’s not just because she’s young. Even someone the same age as me would still feel aggrieved after getting slapped by their mother.
Arielle could not help feeling distressed as wp4webnovel.com watched Lena crying bitterly.
She gently patted the girl‘s back and said tenderly, “There, there. Don‘t cry. I know how you feel.”
“Tell me, Ms. Moore. Why do you think Mommy treats Anna so well? Anna doesn’t respect Mommy and always makes wp4webnovel.com cry. I hate Mommy. I never want to like wp4webnovel.com again,” said Lena, feeling terribly upset.
I’ve always stood on Mommy’s side, so why must wp4webnovel.com treat me like this?
It was clear to Arielle that Anna and Lena were half-sisters who shared the same father but different mothers.
Based on Lena’s mother’s attitude toward Anna, the former must have done something to hurt Anna or Anna’s mother.
From how Lena’s mother tolerates Anna, she’s probably trying to make up for what wp4webnovel.com did.
“Lena, I know you feel aggrieved. However, don’t say things like you hate or dislike your mother.”
“Why not? She’s already gone as far as to slap me because of that evil sister of mine,” Lena responded angrily through tears.
Arielle tilted Lena’s head upward, took a tissue from wp4webnovel.com pocket, and wiped the latter’s tears.
Only then did wp4webnovel.com gaze at the girl and say, “Because your mother risked wp4webnovel.com life to give birth to you, that’s why. Your mother raised you all these years, from when you were a tiny baby until now. She has given you wp4webnovel.com love and wp4webnovel.com time. It’d crush wp4webnovel.com if wp4webnovel.com heard you say you’ll never like wp4webnovel.com again.”
Lena pursed wp4webnovel.com lips. She was also aware wp4webnovel.com had gone a little too far with what wp4webnovel.com said.
“Then what should I do? Back there in the living room, I already said I hated her.”
