Chapter 144 - 144. Heart-to-heart Talk

Elise fell silent. Actually she wanted to run away or go away. Right now she can suppress the trauma. But her feeling was very uneasy. She did not want other people to know about the incident. She didn't want anyone else to look down on and pity her. And she also didn't want Rena to look at her with pitying eyes.

Rena continued to observe the look on Elise's face. She spoke softly and slowly. Fear triggers a relapse of Elise's trauma and destroys all of her plans to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

"Elise." Call rena.

"Yes, Mom." Elise's heart was beating very fast. She believes that this time rena will force her to divorce Brian after knowing how dirty her body has been touched by some foreign men.

"I'm sorry." said Rena with a sincere tone and serious eyes.

Things that Elise had never thought about. Rena apologized to her

"Forgive me for never being nice as your mother-in-laws."

Elise was silent listening to Rena's words.

"Honestly, I didn't like you from the start. Not because you were an orphan or poor, nor because of your education and low status. But because you made Brian fight and oppose me." Elise always thinks that Rena doesn't like her because she is an orphan, poor, has low status and education. She never thought that Rena's hatred for her because of that.

"Since childhood Brian never fought and opposed me. He always obeyed all my words. So when Brian came with you and said that he wanted to break off his engagement with Tiara just for your sake. A girl whose origins are unknown. A girl with low status, made Brian is willing to fight me. Since then my view of you has changed. I look at you with a look of dislike. "

Elise never imagined, there would be a time like now, when Rena would sit and tell Elise the reason for her hatred.

Elise thought about it, if she was in Rena's position. Having her beloved son suddenly fight and oppose her for the sake of a woman he has only known for a few months. Elise will also act like Rena. Hate and hostile to the woman, because she thinks that she is bad for her child.

"Plus Tiara's words who always badmouth you and incited me by saying that you were just a poor lowly girl who approached Brian just for his property, made me hate you. Then I hated you even more when I found out that Brian was determined to marry you without my blessing."

So all this time, that's what Rena thought about her. Rena was consumed by Tiara's persuasion and incitement, saying that Elise was just a woman who wanted Brian's wealth and status. And as Rena said, which mother would be willing to accept a daughter-in-law who made her son fight and challenge her. Daughter-in-law who is only after treasure. Of course Rena would hate Elise with all that stuff.

"That's why whatever you do, No matter how you behave, and no matter how good you act towards me, I just keep hating you."

Rena's eyes changed. Staring at Elise with guilt and pity. Then she continued, "If Brian didn't marry you secretly, you also came to show your sincerity towards him and asked for my blessing first, I wouldn't be cruel or cold to you. Maybe we could be good daughter-in-law and mother-in-law like mother and daughter, Elise. "

"And if I had known that your life was very miserable and only with Brian you got your happiness, maybe I wouldn't have been a bad mother-in-law and always asked Brian to divorce you."

Elise fell silent. She thought about Rena's words. Yes, if only she didn't give a negative impression from the start in Rena's view of her. Maybe they can get along and be less hostile to each other.

"Will you forgive Mommy?"

Elise's bead shook and looked at Rena closely. Elise never imagined that there would be a day when Rena said apologies to her.

"Mommy hopes you will forgive me with all my behavior and cold attitude before you. I hope you understand that all Mommy's attitudes, just the attitude of a mother who does not accept or is jealous of another woman who won her son's heart. You want to forgive me?" Rena looked closely at Elise. Despite her wish for Elise to divorce Brian, deep down, she wanted to apologize sincerely after learning about Elise's background. That woman is not what Rena thought so far. And she should apologize for that. Apologize because Rena has judged Elise as a woman who is only eyeing Brian's property and status.

Elise was silent and looked closely at Rena. Rena's radiance showed that she was truly sorry and apologized sincerely. Rena also wants to improve the relationship between them.

If Elise was in Rena's position, maybe she would also act like that middle aged woman. How could she possibly accept a poor woman whose origins are unknown approach her son who is the heir and owner of a company the size of the Fernandez Group. Of course Elise will behave the same as Rena, treating that foreign woman very cold and cruel.

So with a smile on her face, Elise nodded her head, willing and agreeing to forgive Rena.

Even though in Elise's heart, she thought that all that Rena said was just to seduce her to divorce Brian. But Elise could not deny the look in Rena's eyes that said earnestly and regret was clearly visible there. So Elise could no longer harden her heart and began to forgive Rena.

Seeing Elise nod made Rena smile. She knew her treatment had really made Elise hurt and sad, so she apologized sincerely and wanted to start a good relationship with her. But Rena is not sure whether the relationship is still the same as before, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law or Elise being her adopted child. Making Elise divorce from Brian and asked her to become Rena's adopted daughter.
