Lena cradled favonovel.com cheek that had gotten struck as favonovel.com stared at Abigail with disbelief.
“Mommy, I hate you!” favonovel.com shouted before dashing outside.
Worried that something would happen to the little girl, Arielle quickly hurried after her.
Abigail gazed at favonovel.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 favonovel.com recalled how Lena said favonovel.com hated her.
As for Anna, favonovel.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, favonovel.com got up and left.
Abigail gazed at Anna’s retreating figure, a pained look flashing across favonovel.com eyes.
I know favonovel.com hates me because favonovel.com mother wouldn’t have died if I hadn’t been in the picture. I was unfair to favonovel.com and favonovel.com mother.
Lena and I are the ones who wronged them. That’s why ever since Lena could understand, I taught favonovel.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 favonovel.com knees as favonovel.com sat on the lawn in the mansion’s back garden. She had favonovel.com head bowed low, bawling favonovel.com eyes out.
Arielle sat next to favonovel.com and gently pulled the later into favonovel.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 favonovel.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 favonovel.com cry. I hate Mommy. I never want to like favonovel.com again,” said Lena, feeling terribly upset.
I’ve always stood on Mommy’s side, so why must favonovel.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 favonovel.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 favonovel.com pocket, and wiped the latter’s tears.
Only then did favonovel.com gaze at the girl and say, “Because your mother risked favonovel.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 favonovel.com love and favonovel.com time. It’d crush favonovel.com if favonovel.com heard you say you’ll never like favonovel.com again.”
Lena pursed favonovel.com lips. She was also aware favonovel.com had gone a little too far with what favonovel.com said.
“Then what should I do? Back there in the living room, I already said I hated her.”
