chapter 1495
Charmine’s back instantly stiffened as the words she had spoken haunted her. It unsettled her.
Gazing at her, Chris' small face was washed with disbelief, and his once bright eyes turned dull.
His expression wavered pitiably as he spoke, aggrieved, "So that’s how you’ve been viewing me, Mommy. You no longer love me..."
Charmine was petrified on the spot, unable to react for a long time. 1
She never would have expected Chris to overhear what she said to piss Anthony off.
"Momo...”
Meeting his hurtful eyes, her heart clenched pain.
She wanted to explain everything to him, that she did not mean what she had said, but Anthony was still there. She could not go back on what she had spat.
Anthony would be marrying Waverly, too. If she admitted that she was not over him yet, she would seem weak.
Furthermore, if she got into a new relationship after he got married, she would seem like the loser.
Charmine pursed her lips, but just as she was thinking of what to say, Chris started sobbing, "Mommy, why did you do this to me? What have I done wrong? I treated you like my genuine mother. Is that what I've done wrong?" i
His tears streamed down his cheeks incessantly, and he was visibly distraught.
However, he put on a strong front as he wiped off his tears with his small hands. With his nose clogged by his snot, he hoarsely muttered, "If Momo is nothing to you, Mommy, I’ll leave..." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
He then turned to leave, staggering as he did. His small figure looked lonely and sad, as if he was a neglected child who had no home...
Charmine felt bad, but she could not say anything.
She gnawed on her lips. He was already leaving, so she should let it all be. That was what she had in mind.
She would explain everything to him should she have such a chance in the future...unless someone else would replace her in his life afterward.
Charmine thought about this, and she felt at ease.
Children would not linger around for too long. When something new came into their lives, they would forget everything old.
Charmine looked away, but just as she was about to leave...
Chris, who was walking just fine, suddenly jolted.
He had a seizure.
"Momo!"
Anthony was the first one to notice, and he rushed over.
Chris had fallen to the ground, his small, bun-like face pale as he grimaced in pain.
Still, he turned to look at Charmine and stuttered, ''Mommy... Mommy... I want my Mommy... I've lost Mommy once, and I don't want to lose another Mommy..." He then began to sob and whimper.
When Charmine heard this, her hardened heart finally softened.
She ignored everything else and jogged toward him. It pained her to see a small child enduring such pain. "It’s okay, Momo. Mommy is here."
Chris snuggled in her arms. As if afraid of her leaving him, he used up all of his strength to hold onto her.
His pale face looked at Charmine as he sobbed, "Mommy...can you...not be with that old man? Don't mess around with him, okay...? Even though you no longer care about Momo, it’ll still hurt if I see that... Mommy, can you stay away from that Grandpa...?”
Charmine was baffled.
'Grandpa'? Did he mean Maurice?
Since Anthony was still with them, Charmine said nothing to agree with Chris. Furthermore, she was working with Maurice, and she could not avoid him.
She held onto Chris and muttered, "Momo, we're-"
Before she could finish her sentence, Chris' eyes rolled to the back of his head, and his seizure worsened.
As if he was triggered, foam started to spew through his lips.
Charmine's heart tightened. She knew if she did not agree with him, Chris would be suffering for two hours!
He was just a young kid. How could he endure a pain that even adults could not endure?
