Mrs. Berenice immediately snorted and sighed, Trying to be patient and smiling sweetly. "My kind and very smart daughter-in-law, can you not interfere with my daughter's private life!!? How can you tell the world that you have a second wife!!?." The sweet smile turned into a very loud scream, Edwards smiled and drank back the wine in his hand.
Then he looked one by one at the people around Mrs. Berenice, Edwards' eyes immediately caught the hateful eyes of one of the men and he is a Man named Lee.
"Hey? You from yesterday? How does it feel to see your own lover die in front of your eyes? You must be very sad huh.. that's if you dare to play with Edwards, you know? Even all of your game tactics are easy for me to read. So stop, And give my wife back." Edwards said staring at Lee openly, Mrs. Berenice glanced briefly at Lee and raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Oh yes, Mrs. Berenice..
My mother-in-law whom I love dearly, Choon-Hee is my wife. How could you take her from me? let her girl sell himself? How can a mother let her child be abused by many men and her body is enjoyed by men who have money? You have lived in luxury for years, now when your daughter is starting to get happiness. You take happiness from her too, you are sure that you are a mother? I feel you are just a devil who really doesn't like seeing your child happy." Edwards said again, speaking openly and not at all afraid.
"Edwards!! You dare insult and slander me? You think you're a good husband? You married two wives and thought you could live fairly? You played with my son's feelings! What did you marry him for? Because you never got true love from one woman at all right! Be honest with me, you really depend on my child! Don't insult me, if you only want her body! you're just like any other guy out there" Mrs. Berenice's striking reply caused Edwards to fall silent. He put the wine glass on the table and looked seriously at his mother-in-law.
"If you know I'm like that, and I know you're like that. So we're the same right? We're not perfect humans. You keep me away from Choon-hee. You think your daughter is happy? her heart right now. Does she really like living with her parents? Without an explanation of why she lived so long ago? Without an explanation why did you let her sell himself? without an explanation why did you teach how to sell yourself? Does she really want to acknowledge you as a mother?
I am indeed evil, for marrying two women and making them both live under the same roof. Then I said I love both of them, but I know that Choon-hee is really happy to be by my side. She will say what he doesn't like and what she likes. She always tells me, so I know very well how her heart is. Even though we've only been married a few weeks, I know you use a lot of ways to keep me away from my wife. Daniel, Violet? You use them both? They even spy on me and think I'm blind with their behavior and movements. I'm just pretending to be stupid.. You know how people pretend to be stupid? because that person wants to kill his enemies with just one bullet at a time. I'm saying this because I know Choon-hee needs her mother, father..
But she also needs me as her husband, don't forget that you hurt her deeply. Look at the wound for a moment, whether it has dried or not. so you know what you want to do again After this." Edwards cut himself off, then he hung up the phone.
made Mrs. Berenice fall silent in her seat, everyone behind her also fell silent. A long sigh was heard from the woman's lips, then she got up from her seat and left the room. Her eyes stared blankly ahead, her heart ached as if it had been slashed by a sharp object. Her vision is blurry, because of what? Because the tears that turned out to sink came out.
Mrs. Berenice thumped her tight chest, then she paused at the bottom of the stairs. She closed her eyes and tried to control the emotions that came out of Edwards' words.
"Mom? Mommy, why are you there?" Choon-hee's voice made Mrs. Berenice open her eyes, she saw Choon-hee who was carrying food in her hands and seemed to want to go upstairs.
"Hey choon-Hee? Do you want to have dinner? Mommy just feels a little dizzy." Mrs. Berenice sighed and tried to smile sweetly at her child.
Choon-hee looked at her mother's face strangely, but she didn't dare to ask any questions. It was too shy to meddle in his own mother's business. "Want to eat with me? in my room." Mrs. Berenice immediately nodded at Choon-Hee's invitation, without waiting any longer.
(Choon-Hee POV)
Mother and I were already in the room, we both sat on the balcony of the room to look at the scenery around. My eyes look at the mother's face every now and then, it seems she is sad and confused about what to think.
"Come on Mom, let's eat.. Here I made minced meat then grilled. I think this is delicious, although I'm not sure Mommy will like it." I said slowly, my mother immediately looked up and smiled sweetly. She took a spoon and fed the meat into her mouth.
"How does it feel?" I asked my mother, she nodded slowly.
"It's delicious, you're good at cooking. You often cook this when you live alone?" The question from my mother made me a little confused, why the intonation of her voice sounded sad.
"Not really Mom, Age is getting more sophisticated and I don't think I have to cook every day. I'm too busy, so sometimes I cook when I feel like it. Eat a lot, If Mommy likes." I didn't dare to look my mother in the eye, it was sad to be asked if I cooked when I lived alone.
For so many years of my life being alone, I felt that I no longer mattered in this world. Especially when the world sometimes dumps cheap women like me, it's true.. A woman's self-respect is when she can take care of herself, but what about when I sell that pride? will i be okay?
"I'm sorry Mommy.." The three words I heard made me turn to my mother and look into her sad eyes. Sorry? Is that a word that is appropriate for a mother to say to her child?
"Mom? why? Don't say that, it's inappropriate for a mother to say sorry to her child. Listen to me, our world was never fine. But I'm trying to forget all that, I'm here with a new, better world So don't say things that make me sad." I held my mother's hand, she was really crying now. I held my breath and felt a strange feeling in my chest.
My mother is crying?
"Leaving yourself to pursue a revenge is a fatal mistake, Mommy hates the past too much girl. Long ago our life was ruined because of your Grandpa, He purposely destroyed your Mommy and Daddy's household. For what? Because he thought Mommy was not worthy of his child. years Mommy runs a bad world, sells herself and has to support you. Sometimes Mommy hates your face that is too similar to your Daddy, sometimes Mommy also has to cry alone Because she misses the love of her husband. Everything goes so bad, until the revenge destroys humanity and makes Mommy Blind to this world.
Mommy dumped you, taught you bad rights, made you sell yourself too, and didn't give you full love. This Mommy did just to make your Daddy angry and see that I have destroyed his child! Hatred and revenge are firmly entrenched in the chest. Sometimes Mommy wants to kill you, so what? so that your Daddy cries and feels that sadness too.
Until the moment when Mommy managed to make your Daddy angry, he kidnapped Mommy. But before that happens, Mommy first changes your name and tells one of Mommy's friends to take you to Korea to be sold on the black market. With your Identity instead, they can't find You. It's something I'll never forget as a mother...
Years passed, Torment after torment I felt. Your grandfather asked about you and I remained silent. My face is always being hit and it makes a few bones in my face shattered, that's why Mommy did plastic surgery. At that time, There was someone who helped Mommy to take revenge on Big Master Berenice, she was the main servant in the Berenice Family, she hated her big master for raping his child and killing the child. because of that we became friends. We harmed Big Master Berenice, gave mad dog medicine. makes his brain stressed and can't go back to how it used to be, that revenge makes Mommy able to control this family.
The struggle has never ended until now, there is a sense of regret and sadness. for choosing to hate and hold grudges. But that's past, nothing can make me change the past." That long explanation made me understand, that revenge can indeed blind all hearts and minds.
"Mom? I understand.. even though I don't know what revenge is, But I can see a lot of sadness and hurt on Mommy's face. Inside here, in Mommy's heart.. Maybe there has been a hate and a grudge that will never end, I will help Mommy resolve all those feelings. Don't go too far anymore Mom, stop here okay? I'm here and I'm fine. Daddy is also better, just need some medication and everything will be back to normal. I know , the years that have passed cannot be returned. But I hope that the years to come we can make as good memories, which will close the previous years. Mom? like it or not, walk with me and we will end all this ?." I held my mother's hand very tightly, watching her nod slowly while wiping her tears that were still falling..
"We're walking together yes?.. is there anything you want from me?" The question left me speechless for a moment, I wanted to say that I wanted to meet my husband. But I know that the current situation does not allow my husband and I to meet. I don't know what kind of argument was going on between my mother and Edwards.
"Nothing, I don't want anything. I just want Mommy and Daddy to be healthy and happy, what does a child want other than that?" I wiped the tears from my mother's face, she smiled and kissed the back of my hand. we went through a lot of difficult things, but now onwards. I hope that difficult things can leave our lives..
although I'm not sure.
