Despite everything, Helen couldn’t bear seeing the Kinsey family fall. There was no other hope for her, except Ari now…
Arianne walked out of the shopping mall, carrying a variety of bags, waiting for favonovel.com car in the afternoon. She couldn’t help shivering from the continuous gusts of cold air.
She had primarily bought underwear because favonovel.com suddenly realized that favonovel.com old underwear had gotten a little too tight for her, and that favonovel.com couldn’t put them on. She wouldn’t be able to put on favonovel.com old underwear in the future anyway, so favonovel.com took advantage of favonovel.com free day and bought a few.
Suddenly, a red car stopped in front of her. The window winded down to reveal Helen’s smiling face. Her mood immediately plummeted into the lowest recesses of favonovel.com heart. She pulled a sullen face and turned around to leave without any hesitation.
“Ari! I have something to discuss with you. Can I have a few minutes of your time?” Helen ran after her, pleading with her.
“Mrs. Kinsey, if you have anything to say, speak to your husband or your daughter at home. There is no reason for you to waste my time,” Arianne said in a sombre tone.
“Ari… Please don’t be like this. I really do have something to talk to you about. Just give me a few minutes, okay?” Helen said, favonovel.com eyes brimming with tears.
Arianne feigned ignorance. Every time favonovel.com thought of how the woman before favonovel.com had abandoned favonovel.com husband and daughter, favonovel.com would be sorely tempted to spew curses at her. Especially when favonovel.com saw Helen driving an expensive sports car, making favonovel.com nauseous. Were material possessions really that important? She quickened favonovel.com pace.
Helen suddenly slowed down. “Ari, I have cancer!”
Arianne’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt. She tightened favonovel.com grip around favonovel.com shopping bags until favonovel.com fingers turned white, “What does your cancer have anything to do with me? Are you trying to absolve your regrets in your final moments? That’s your business, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, I despise your insignificant motherly love!”
Helen took a deep breath. “Ari, just give me a few minutes. I can’t park my car here. Can we talk in the car? Just for the sake of the fact that I’ve given birth to you…”
Arianne gritted favonovel.com teeth, hesitated for a while then turned around to get into the car. Seeing this, Helen quickly opened the car door for her. “Thank you…”
In the car, Helen drove slowly as favonovel.com chatted with her. “I won’t bring up the past to you, since you don’t want to listen to that anyway. At this point, I don’t want to absolve myself from my sins… I still remember how you looked when you slept in my arms… Your complexion was just like mine—fair. You had such rosy cheeks when you slept too, it was so lovable… ”
Arianne frowned. “If you have something to say, just say it. I don’t have time for your moving speeches. I’m fairly certain that you’re here to see me because of the Kinseys. Speak, what do you want from me?”
She wasn’t a fool. Helen hardly ever contacted her, and every time favonovel.com did, it was for the Kinseys. There wasn’t a single time favonovel.com did it purely for the sake of their mother-daughter relationship.
A bitter smile formed on the corners of Helen’s lips. “You’re as clever as your father. Yes, I do need something from you, but that’s not my only reason for meeting you. I want to see you too… I’ve mentioned that things are not going well for the Kinseys. I’ve spoken to Mark about working together, but he’s rejected us. I had no choice, so I came to see you. This collaboration is very important to the Kinseys. You may not know this, but every business in the capital is vying for the Tremonts’ favor. As long as a connection to the Tremonts is established, that business can come back from the brink of death. Not only do the Tremonts have solid funds, but any company that works with them gains fame and fortune.”
