Chapter 65
"— Fine?" Zoey said worriedly, "Your father and Patrick's sister are fighting fiercely, but Patrick doesn't care at all. He accompanied Mary shopping all day, completely disregarding the situation, leaving everything to your father."
She clearly knew that the relationship between Patrick and Mary was close, but hearing it again, she couldn't help but be stung.
"It's a good thing that their couple loves each other." Alice said.
"If they love each other is fine, but they are not at peace either. I heard from the servants of the Miller Family that after the marriage, Patrick and Mary had already quarreled many times." Zoey said.
"Arguing?" Alice opened her eyes wide in shock. "That's impossible, right?"
If she had to say that the weather was volatile, how could she believe that the relationship between Patrick and Mary was not good? She had pestered Patrick for so many years and they had not left each other, but that just proved that they truly loved each other.
"It seems to be because of you." Zoey looked at Alice, her tone slightly uncomfortable.
Alice's body froze. For her? How is this possible? Mary
"The servants said that every time they mention you at home, they start arguing. After getting married, Patrick felt like he's a different person. He's such a refined person, yet he's arguing with Mary. " Zoey patted his head, "Your sister calls us to wail whenever they had a quarrel, it's useless to try to persuade her."
Two cups of coffee were served.
As Alice sat there, she couldn't understand why did she become their fuse after entangled with him for these years?
She didn't want to see them now, but they wouldn't be at peace.
What was this?
However, Patrick was a little strange. Previously, in order to give Mary a perfect wedding, he did not even eat a pill to treat his pain. It didn't make sense he would argue with her.
"Your father was so angry that he didn't sleep well for a few nights. Business and family matters bothered him, so he just..."
Speaking to here, Zoey wanted to say something but hesitated.
Alice looked at her foster mother. Seeing her troubled face, she faintly felt that her next words would be the main topic for today.
Sure enough, Zoey looked at her for a long time before taking out a document from her bag and placing it in front of her. She said" Your father wants you to sign the paper."
Alice's hand rested on the piping hot coffee cup, her head lowered as she looked at the documents.
The document was filled with dense words. She did not see it clearly and could only make out a huge title ...
[Parent-Child Relationship Severance]
Severance.
Alice's face instantly turned pale white. Her fingers pressed against the cup and poured the entire cup of coffee onto the table. She picked up the documents without thinking, which were not wet at all.
"Alice!"
Zoey cried out in alarm and quickly stood up to wipe the stains off her body with a tissue.
Alice stood up and pushed her hand away, "I'm fine."
"No, it's easy to get scalded like this."
"Let's talk business." Alice looked at the concern in her eyes and suddenly felt that
it was a little ironic. Pushing away her foster mother's hand, Alice coldly said, "Aren't we here to discuss signing?"
The waiter came over and cleaned up the table.
"Alice" Zoey sat down and looked at her with a troubled expression on her face. Her face was filled with bitterness, "Your father and I have been arguing for a long time, but he still insisted on doing so. He thought they were argue for you, so the thing will be end when you are not his kid."
"Haven't I already been driven out of the house?" Alice laughed self-deprecatingly, her eyes turning sore. "A few years ago, you guys didn't let me stay at home." Can you say that over and over again?
"Alice."
"Now you are going to expel me legally. It doesn't matter, I'll just sign it. In any case, I don't think I can still be the daughter of your family." Alice laughed indifferently.
Zoey looked at her pitifully.
Alice still had a smile on her face, but it was an indifferent smile. She did not mind
at all, "Mother, where is the pen? You must have a pen. Oh, I can't call you mother now."
She came prepared.
"Alice, don't be like this." Zoey saw that the smile on her face was extremely uncomfortable, but she still took out a pen from her bag and handed it over to Alice, "Your father is the one at home, I can't win against him, but in the future, I will secretly come out to see you."
Secretly.
Mom wants to peek at her daughter.
"It doesn't matter. I've always thought of this day. I'll just sign it."
Alice took the pen from her hand and directly flipped to the last page of the document. The second the pen tip touched the paper, her tears fell drop by drop onto the paper, unable to control herself.
She was not as indifferent and strong as she had imagined.
She didn't care as much about her family as she had imagined.
Zoey looked at her in shock, "Alice, you..."
"Why did you abandon me after you adopted me?"noveldrama
Alice lowered her head, the hand holding the pen was trembling, and her voice was choked with emotions, unable to complete the sentence, "What did I do wrong? Ever since I was young, you and Daddy have always favored Mary. You guys secretly gave her food at the side, and secretly took her to the cram school, while you guys secretly took her to take pictures of entire family. If I had so much excess, why didn't you send me away early when I didn't have memory?"
Zoey looked at Alice in a daze, she did not expect her to know about all these.
Initially, the couple went to adopt an abandoned baby from the safe island because they couldn't have children. Unexpectedly, after adoption, she found that she already had one in her stomach.
Mary, the biological child, was not easy to come by, so it was inevitable that they would prefer each other.
She thought that Alice wouldn't even know about these things.
"Just because I'm not your biological child, all of the mistakes are mine, and all of the evil consequences will be borne by me. At that time, I was the one taking care of Patrick. After he recovered his sight and returned to the Miller Family, you guys would do your best to make him and Mary happy, secretly telling Patrick that Mary had been best friends with him before. You can only blame me for pestering them, but have you ever thought about how I feel about it?"
"Now, I give up and admit defeat. I don't want to pester them anymore, and the one to end up wrong is me."
Alice held onto the pen in her hand tightly, her face had long been covered in tears, her voice trembling violently, "I'm going to become an orphan again. Why are you abandoning me like this? Is it because I am not your own child? Parents can abandon their child as they like, right?"
She cared a lot about this family. She cared about family.
Why did it end like this?
Zoey sat across from her, crying.
Alice continued to mutter, "Why did you abandon me? Why didn't you want me? I've always wanted to do it well. I've always wanted to be your daughter, never daring to take even half a step on the wrong path since I was young. How come you guys couldn't see how I've worked so hard?"
She was like a child lost in the wild.
Since she was young, she had studied hard and received no praise; she had worked hard and received no praise for her work; other than pestering Patrick, she had never done anything that displeased her parents. Why did she not want him anymore?
Zoey was not a stone - hearted person, hearing that she could not take it anymore, she cried, "Forget it, Alice, if you don't want to sign, just don't." Alice's documents were suddenly taken away.
She was stunned, raising her head, tears blurred her vision, only to see William standing beside her with a pale face, holding onto the document with one hand.
Why is he here?
"Heh." William stared at the document in his hand and sneered, "I thought it was something big that made you cry like this, Alice, can you still have any future?"
"You are
Zoey looked at William in shock.
"You're her foster mother?" William looked at Zoey and asked coldly.
He was clearly a young man, but his aura was extremely strong. In front of him, Zoey felt that he had somehow become humble, so she couldn't help but answer, "Yes. I am her mother."
Why did Zoey feel that she was a little familiar with such a handsome young man?
"Is the person who abandoned their child fit to be called mother?" With a wave of his hand, William was pushed Alice into the inside and sat up beside her. He looked at Zoey coldly and said, "That biological mother of hers is not worthy, nor are you."
"William, what are you doing? This is my business."
Alice did not care about crying, and immediately said to William.
William glared at her, whose face was filled with tears. "Look at yourself, what rights do you have to tell me that it's your own affair? I'll handle it!"
He was extremely arrogant.
"I ..." Alice was rendered speechless by the blockage. Her current appearance
was indeed extremely useless.
William?
Zoey looked at William in shock. N.E's William?
William retracted his gaze from Alice, and looked coldly at Zoey who was on the opposite side of the table. He raised up the documents in his hands, "I can see your signatures already on there, Mrs. Clyne, why did you break off all relations with Alice?"
"This," Zoey looked straight into William's eyes and replied unfreely, "It's because the two sisters don't get along."
This reason sounded somewhat strange.
"Oh, then why didn't you sever your relationship with the youngest daughter, but with the eldest daughter instead?" William asked with a sneer, but he suddenly came to a realization, "Oh right, Alice is an adopted daughter, so of course she would be disgraced."
"It's not like that. A lot of things have happened in the process, outsiders wouldn't understand."
Zoey couldn't help but defend her own daughter.
At least in the matters of Patrick, her entire family believed that Mary was not
wrong.
A Patrick with a normal line of sight, naturally should be together with Mary. As her elder sister, Alice should give up, rather than fight with her.
Hearing that, William's smile became even wider, the curve of his lips became full
of ridicule. He looked at the document in his hands and said, "It's the first time I've seen someone abandon their daughter to be like Mrs.Clyne, who has a troubled expression."
While they were talking, Alice sat there with her head lowered, her hands tightly grabbing onto her clothes.
