Chapter 186 - 186. Edward's Sadness

Katty's mother told us all to go inside, I just followed and obeyed her. The first thing I saw when I entered was the really luxurious interior of the house. I can't say anything more with all the beauty I see.

The Douglas family's mansion was no less luxurious and large, but it was different from this Mansion. Because this looks more unique to me, the pillars inside are like a very sturdy Greek building. My eyes immediately smiled when I saw a very large photo frame, stuck to the living room wall. My wedding photo, but it's just me, Mommy, and Daddy. No Edwards, I don't think this family really approves of me with Edwards.

"Come on, Mommy, show me where your room is, Mommy will prepare the best and luxurious place for you." Mommy and I were alone in the elevator, since she had been holding my hand tightly and didn't let go at all. I was in the grip like that was the challenge, of course I didn't refuse. I feel this is a moment not to be missed. The relationship between a mother and her daughter is a relationship that feels closer than any other relationship.

We got out of the elevator, I don't know what floor it is. But I guess this is the top floor of the Mansion I'll be staying in. one of the doors is whitewashed, It opens right away when we want to go inside.

Luxurious and elegant rooms, shades of white and turquoise green. I immediately liked the color of the walls of the room, because for me it was an interesting color.

"Hope you like it, actually Mommy doesn't really know what you like now. Because we haven't seen each other for a long time, but seeing your humble and kind attitude. I think this will be your favorite color choice." I immediately nodded at Mommy's words, because he was right. That color I will like.

"I like Mom, even though we are far away and haven't seen each other in a long time. But I'm sure the instincts of a mother know very well about her child's preferences. Isn't that right, Mom?" I asked while laughing, Mommy also laughed and hugged me gently.

Still a "mystery" the magnitude of parental love for children has captured the attention of scientists for a long time. They have been trying for a long time to find out where the maternal instincts come from in women. Why is it so hard to ignore when you hear your baby cry? Why do mothers have such a strong urge to always care for and please their babies?

After years of observing behavioral changes in mothers, scientists have begun to link this extraordinary maternal instinct to reactions in the brain. Research published by The National Academy of Sciences and published on the parents.com page, for example, shows that when a mother looks at her baby, the brain sends a signal to release dopamine.

The hormone dopamine is a hormone that affects the emergence of pleasant feelings, such as falling in love, affection, joy, etc. It is this hormone that plays an important role in making the mother feel attached to her baby.

Maybe that's how Mommy felt, when she made this room. I feel lucky to have a mother like her, so understanding. although actually, there are still many questions in my brain about why he left me? Why did she let me sell my body? Why did she abandon me all this time? These questions are still very clear in my brain. But I still hold all these questions, so that our relationship remains fine.

"Oh yeah Mom, when did Mommy decorate this place? I think Mommy has lived in Korea for a long time. Does Mommy really live on the move?" I asked curiously, because from what I know. Mommy and Berenice's family previously settled in Korea.

"Mommy really lives on the move, we always move every 6 months. Berenice's family has had a habit like that for a long time, but Mommy doesn't want to follow that habit. i feel like living in the same place for a long time. Especially now that we've gathered, there's nothing wrong with staying here for a long time. You like this place right? You're happy to be with us again, aren't you Choon-Hee?." Mother's question confused me a little.

Why did she ask like that? Does she not believe that I really enjoy being around them? Or is her mother's habit now to be wary of anything? maybe, because even though I'm her child. I've been away from her for too long, besides that I'm Edwards' wife. is the son-in-law of the Douglas family. Although to be honest I don't really understand why rich people can be hostile like this. Maybe not to be more hostile, but to take care of each other? yes.. Maybe that's more appropriate.

"Son? are you not happy?" Mother reprimanded me again, I immediately hurriedly shook my head and smiled a little.

"Mom? Why do you ask like that, I came all the way here to meet you and want to live with you, Even though I know. Our previous situation wasn't good enough, we only met after a long time. There are many differences that make us certain have many differences, but I'm sure. with time, we will like each other and love each other. Whatever Mommy gives me right now, I will try to like it. Mommy knows myself, I have lived alone out there for too long. Sleeping in bed Only one can sleep in, it's only been a few years since I got a nice apartment and I can sleep well.

Then not long after that I met Edwards, I could feel the Luxury Mansion With all the sophistication that exists. Everything felt new to me, but slowly I started to adapt. Likewise here, I will try to like everything." I said very carefully and filled with tenderness.

I just don't want to hurt my mother, I want to say I really like it? yes.. I really like this place. but there is one side of my heart that is a little evasive. why? Because I missed Edwards' company and sweetness. Somehow there is one heart that feels so lonely, I want to go back... back to Edwards' side, but I know that won't be possible.

"Mommy will help you to feel at home. Here, we are family. So don't hesitate to say anything you want to say. If there is something you don't like about your room, you can ask the maid to change it. Mommy will too. bring someone who can design this place of yours as you wish." She said very gently. I nodded and hugged her again.

(Author POV)

At the Douglas family residence, Edwards walked lazily down the stairs one by one. he is not in the mood for breakfast this morning, his eyes are very sad because he didn't sleep at all last night. His mind wandered all over the place, thinking about his suddenly empty life.

His eyes saw the dining table that had been filled by his family members, he also saw his father who was able to sit in a wheelchair and eat together. although still fed by the waiter and only a porridge that can be directly swallowed.

"Morning my husband.. what do you want to eat this morning?" Violet moved first to greet her husband, smiling brightly because there was nothing to disturb her time with Edwards at the moment, since Choon-hee had already gone to another part of the country.

"I just want a fruit salad and some black coffee." Edward said quietly, he sat on the bench and began to wait for Violet to prepare what he asked for. Edwards thought Violet would actually serve with both hands, but instead she ordered the maids.

The difference between Violet and Choon-hee lies in times like this, Edwards is used to being served by his second wife. but now, no one thought of Edwards anymore. want him to eat or not, surely the world will still not care.

Edwards took a sip of the still warm black coffee, he felt the bitter and bitter taste of the coffee.

"Are you going to file for divorce from Choon-hee? or is she going to file for divorce from you?" asked Mrs. Anne, after seeing Edwards starting to sit comfortably in his chair.

"No divorce, no matter what happens I will not divorce her. She is mine, she will always be mine. No one can take her from me, not even death." Edwards said very firmly, he ate the fruit salad in front of him slowly. His eyes were already red, because he was holding back the sadness and hadn't slept all night.

"Don't be Edwards, you know that Mrs. Berenice won't let that happen. She will harm us, she will destroy the Douglas Family. You should know that the Berenices are not people we can make enemies of." Mrs. Anne had warned her sternly, but Edwards didn't seem to want to listen. He just chuckled and ate his fruit salad again. He only focused on the food in front of his eyes. He didn't really listen to what Mrs. Anne had to say.

"Edwards.. Mrs. Anne is not happy that you are marrying her daughter. I think she wants you to divorce, wouldn't it be better like that?" Once again Mrs Anne tried to take Edwards' attention, but the man just took a deep breath and finished the meal quickly.

His eyes immediately looked at Mrs. Anne who was now looking at Edwards with an annoying look.

"Even if you die, want you to be tortured by the Berenice Family, want this family to be destroyed, want the company to go bankrupt. I will never replace Choon-hee at all. Why should I bother defending you? bother making sure the company is always safe so that you can continue to have fun? What's all that for!!? Until then, I will do everything possible to keep Choon-hee mine. Even if I have to replace your life, I will replace it.

So if you say their family is no match for our family. you are wrong! I will do anything to get them to give Choon-hee to me!!! So from now on, you better prepare to fall into poverty. Because I will not defend the company, only for your personal interests! never again! remember that carefully." Edwards finished his meal, he drank the coffee all the way down and got up from his seat.

But his footsteps immediately stopped, when his hand accidentally nudged his father's arm and made his father hold Edwards' hand tightly. Edwards didn't know what his father wanted, but the grip was really tight and painful.

"Does Daddy want to get in my way too? If so, all your words are in vain. For the first time I want to fight for someone I love, for the first time I will make her about by my side and always be my wife, and for the first time I want to move I'm free without anyone getting in my way. So please let me go." Edwards had pulled his hand away, it must have been pretty tight. It made Mr. Douglas' hand just slip away.

"You say as if you've never fought for me all this time Edwards! What are you doing? You don't think I exist?" Violet felt hurt by Edwards' words, he said as if Violet was here because of his will. Not because Edwards forced and fought.

"Isn't it true? You never really fought for me? You're only here for my money. You're here because you can become a lady whom all your wishes fulfill. Unlike Choon-hee, even if I give his my company. beside me. You know why? Since she has more money now than me, of course this makes me have to move faster and think really hard. About how I can get her back." Edwards' words had hit Violet deep in the heart.

The woman who had been hurt could only sit quietly in her place and groan in annoyance.

Edwards had already stepped away from his place, he looked annoyed after saying what clearly came out of his lips.

Mrs. Anne just glared in disgust at Edwards's very impudent words, in annoyance she slammed the spoon onto the plate very hard.

"You ignorant child! How can he say he will let us die like that. Just for the sake of a woman like Choon-Hee? Tch!!! If someone has to die, it's Choon-hee! Not this family!." Mrs. Anne was really annoyed, she massaged her forehead and started to take a deep breath.

"Calm down Mom, don't think about unnecessary things. Besides, Edwards can't be that stupid, he must only threaten us. What for? So that we don't get in the way he wants to go through, I'm sure Edwards has made a lot of plans . he's a thinker type of guy. He won't act until he's absolutely sure of what he wants." Azzhura said slowly, the girl was actually busy eating and didn't let all these problems affect the meal.

"It's true what Azzhura Mom said, it's impossible for Edwards to move without thinking things through first. Now we should just focus on our problems, now Choon-hee has been a bit out of the way, and Edward is busy with Choon-hee's business. So we can do a little bit other thing.." said Daniel giving his mother an idea.
