That night... in a daze... she kept calling out Nathan Moore’s name. Only after sobering up the next day did she realize that the heavy breathing and suppressed groans coming through the receiver were his...
Unconsciously, her face felt somewhat hot, when she heard Ariana Evans say, "How do you know that Nathan wouldn’t despise Lily?"
Had the feeling of having dug a hole and then jumping into it voluntarily.
Especially when faced with Ariana Evans’ seemingly mocking expression, which appeared to be inquisitive or something else she couldn’t understand. Yet, she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt and even dared not meet her gaze.
She just heard Ariana Evans sigh, turn her gaze away, and rest one hand on the desk, her downcast eyes also landing on it.
"Ah, what childhood sweethearts, what deep affection, they are all worthless in the face of reality.
Back then, Logan Ray was your childhood sweetheart, but later he married another woman.
Lily has been following Nathan Moore since she was sixteen, and now she has still been sent back to her parents’ home, claiming he’s too busy with work to take care of her. They’re all excuses!
It’s plainly obvious that he despises Lily for being infertile, for not satisfying him!" In the end, Ariana Evans angrily slapped the desk.
With a bang, Titus Zane was startled into jitteriness, and spoke in a subdued voice, "Mom, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for ruining Lily..."
Ariana Evans turned around, "Silly child, what are you apologizing for? It’s not like you did it on purpose. If anything, Lily should be thankful to you. If you hadn’t pushed her down the stairs and made her , we would never have seen Nathan Moore’s true colors."
She always felt like her mother was implying something, she lowered her eyes, gripping the bag on her lap tightly.
Ariana Evans noticed everything, a fleeting smile at the corner of her lips, she sighed again, staring into space, "You shouldn’t dwell on Lily’s matter, everything is fate..."
There was a moment of silence in the air. Ariana Evans looked out the window with a helpless expression on her face, then suddenly turned around and said, "Oh right, Logan Ray came to the hospital this morning."
Instinctively, Titus Zane responded, "What did he come to the hospital for? Is he sick?"
"Cough," Ariana Evans sighed helplessly, "You child, you’re just too kind-hearted, thinking everything is so wonderful. His wife is about to give birth, probably next month, he came with his wife for a prenatal check-up."
Upon saying this, Ariana Evans sighed again, "Men, they are the most ungrateful."
Titus Zane lowered her gaze, the corners of her lips curling into a faint arc, slightly bitter, "Mom, I didn’t have Logan, back then, I was the one who wronged him."
Even though Logan Ray had taken a wife and had children, she didn’t blame him at all. It was she who had broken her promise first. Despite being coerced, being in someone else’s arms was a fact. She, , even if Logan Ray didn’t despise her, she would despise herself.
Logan Ray, such a good man, deserved better.
"Sigh, speaking of which, all the sin was created by Nathan Moore!" Ariana Evans sighed again, "Back then, if it wasn’t for him using the Zane Family to coerce you, you wouldn’t have settled to be just a tool for him to vent his desires."
She lifted her eyes in shock to look at her mother, unable to imagine that in her mother’s heart, she was considered Nathan Moore’s tool for venting his desires. Titus Zane felt that even if it were true, it shouldn’t be spoken by her own mother.
"Oh, sorry, Titus, I misspoke." Seeing Titus Zane looking at her in astonishment, Ariana Evans showed an embarrassed face.
Titus Zane narrowed her eyes slightly, why did she feel... that her mother was doing it deliberately?
It seemed like it was to make her harbor resentment towards Nathan Moore...
