The Woman From Hell
Chapter 797

Chapter 797

"When I first saw her, I knew it before others could say that we looked alike. After I got home, I looked into the mirror for a very long time and wondered if my mother looked like her? I used to picture what my mother looked like many times, and it was when I met her that the image I had of my mother materialized," I started slowly.

Tyler thought of our mother. "Mother once said to you that you're like a dandelion. You were accidentally blown away when your mother was holding you in her arms, and you drifted to her with the wind.”

"Yeah." When I thought of the mother who raised me, a smile emerged on my face. “She never heard anyone say that I was abandoned, that's why I was able to grow up as a happy child."

Although Munchkin had no idea what we were talking about, he understood the meaning of the individual words. He climbed to my lap and cupped my face, saying softly, "Don't be unhappy, Mommy. I'm here for you. Theo’s here for you. You have so many family members. You’ll only get happier and happier."

I smiled slightly, the bitterness in my heart vanishing.

I looked at Tyler, and the smile on my face gradually disappeared. "I have never resented her for

abandoning me. When I learned that Cindy was her long-lost daughter, I was envious of her. I saw how much she loved Cindy and thought how nice it would b e if I had a mother who loved me that much too."

After a pause, a bitter smile appeared on my face." How enviable it is that a mother can do whatever it takes to treat her daughter kindly. Only, the person she hurt was me."

Tyler looked at me with a pained expression. "Wandy, you can't live in the past all the time."

How could I not know that humans should not always live in the past? Even so, the pain inflicted on me was true.

Therefore, the most I could do was not resent her.

The atmosphere became somewhat silent. I did not want to talk about Petra anymore and changed the subject. "Tyler, why don’t I see you treating Susan like that? She resembles the old me too much. That’s why I feel sorry for her.

"Like Susan, when I married Theo back then, I thought I was extremely blessed. Hence, I dared not ask for too much. At night whenever there was a thunderstorm, h e would hear it and become worried that Cindy would be afraid, so he'd drive several hours to keep her company. You have no idea how envious I was. I was afraid of thunder and lightning too, but I dared not make excessive demands by asking him to abandon Cindy and keep me company. I could only curl up and survive those nights of lightning and thunder alone."

Tyler was about to say something, but his gaze fell behind me. He paused for a moment and simply let the conversation end there.

I sensed it and turned around to look.

Theo was standing not far behind me, his gaze obscure.

There was slight awkwardness in the air. Tyler said a few more things to me before leaving.

I told Munchkin to go to the yard to play with Snowy. Theo and I were the only ones left in the living room.

I looked down at my reflection in the tea and wondered how much of Tyler and my conversation he heard.

I looked back, then cast my eyes down at the phone in my hand. I did not know if he had heard a lot of what I said earlier.

Theo walked up behind me and put a coat on me. "The heater on the first floor isn't warm enough. Don't you feel cold wearing so few layers?”

Seeing that he had no plans of talking about the things I had said to Tyler, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Theo did not go to the company, he was still very busy at home.

He was in the study for almost the whole day.

It was 10 o'clock at night when he returned to the room.

I put down the book in my hand and looked up at him.
