Bathing herself in the tub with her arms crossed over her chest, feeling the warm water pouring on her body, Consuela closed her eyes slightly. Some bad memories and good memories were beginning to surge in her mind. At that moment, she felt very weak and powerless, like a bird with broken wings. She wanted to fly high, but she was unable to do that.
In the bathtub, she closed her eyes for a while. When she heard the clock ring, she rubbed her hair in a hurry and straightened up.
Drops of water slowly slid down from her slender thighs. Wrapped in a white bath towel, she approached the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt that she had aged for more than ten years. Wrinkles began to form at the corners of her eyes. She was afraid of the loss of collagen.
She remembered that she had delicate skin, but only a year later, her skin was like this. It was really hard for her to accept the fact.
She wore a bitter smile and applied some moisturizer on her face. Then she picked up the foundation cream that she had put away for a long time and applied it on her face all at once.
Her face was as white as snow.
The first feeling Consuela felt when she finished applying the make-up on her face. She hoped that Cassie wouldn't be so surprised to see her like this. But after a second thought, she thought that she was a mother now, so it was normal for her to look haggard.
Consuela comforted herself like this, but her heart was attacking her self-consolation. Her skin was obviously very bad, but she pretended to be smiling happily. She was really a strange person.
A person who was even schemed against by her family members.
Two hours later, in the cafe.
Consuela pushed open the revolving door and looked around. Tears were built up in her eyes as she lifted her eyes and cast a single glance at the woman sitting by the window. She walked quickly towards her, trying to calm herself down and give out a silly smile.
"Consuela!" Cassie was a little surprised. It was said that it was difficult for a new mother to get her figure back after delivery. Bu
he coffee cup. The taste of the coffee lingered in her mouth. She took a deep breath and forced a smile.
"You are overthinking things. There is nothing wrong with me.
The look on Cassie's face darkened. "Aren't you curious why I know you are in the Xia Clan? Why did I let you come here without asking?"
The polite smile on Consuela's face disappeared a little. She raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her and asked, "Tim?"
How could she forget that man with a big mouth? She hoped that he could stop talking about her. Otherwise, she didn't know how to explain.
"You're right. Before I sent you the message, Tim told me you were in your mom's house, but he didn't tell me the reason. I think I should ask you personally about this." Cassie asked seriously.
Consuela heaved a sigh. She didn't know how to say such a trivial thing. Was she silly? Or was Richie silly?
"Why do you keep silent? Consuela, you shouldn't have kept anything from me." Cassie stared at the woman, sincerely and friendly.
Being stared at by Cassie in this way, Consuela didn't know how to react. She also wanted to find someone to talk about this matter with. But where should she start? What should she say?
Should she tell her that her son had been taken away, and Richie had left her without a word, or that the people closest to her had planned to harm her from the very beginning?
