Chapter 701 Respect Her Decision (2/2)

”You are inexperienced in bed,” he said coldly.

”You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce,” Jean replied furiously.

”Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about,” he sneered.

ks turned red. Jean couldn't help but feel sad when she saw that expression.

”Well, we still have some time to have a meal together, mother. Can you do that?”

Jean looked at Joy with a hopeful face.

Listening to Jean call her mother, Joy looked dumbfounded. She couldn't believe her own ears. In her trembling voice, she asked, ”Jean, what did you just say?”

”Mother...” repeated Jean.

Now there was a bright smile on Jean's face.

When her voice hit Joy's ears, her eyes started to brim with tears. She couldn't help but cry loudly.

”Jean, my good girl!” Joy held Jean into her arms. She reached out her skinny hands and fondled Jean's soft face. She said, ”I'm sorry for everything I did to you. I was never a good stepmother to you. I never took any responsibility in taking care of you. But now I truly regret it. You have always been so cute! There were times when I thought that I would be so happy if you were my daughter. Even though I didn't show it, I really loved you deep inside.

When Shirley was born, I still cared about you. However, you were too obstinate. You never called me mother! Moreover, you didn't even smile at me. But it makes sense because you were sad that your mother left back then. You held me responsible for separating your mother and father.

Although I wanted to care for you and have a good relationship with you, you never gave me a chance. Therefore, I gave up and our relationship never went forward. Slowly, I started to abuse you for not accepting me. I wanted you to give in and call me mother but that never happened until...”

Joy looked so sad and found it hard to finish the sentence. She blamed herself for everything bad that had happened in her life.
