Chapter 85: Without Her

"Mom, what kind of stupidity is this?" I snapped, looking directly into her eyes.

My eyes asked the questions I couldn't even articulate, needing her to give me a clear answer. "Sweetheart... w-we've made up..."

She tried to look away, but I grabbed her by both arms.

"Is that it, Mom? After everything he did to us, that's it? You're just going to forgive him like that?"

I couldn't understand what was going through my mom's mind. I could have understood if it were just a simple fight, but it wasn't.

He was the reason we struggled so much-not to mention he hurt my mom emotionally... and even physically.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day to come?" she said softly.

She looked me straight in the eye, and I could tell how sincere she was.

"I've wished for this for a long time. I told myself that if this day ever came... I would forgive him without hesitation."

I closed my eyes tightly. I could hear the love, happiness, and a hint of pain in her voice. I was afraid for my mom because it seemed her heart worked backward. The one who deserved her forgiveness was... Silver.

But she held such resentment toward him. All he ever did was love her, while my mom's attention was only focused on Randall. "What if he does it again?" I asked.

"What if he doesn't?" she counterattacked. "I'm a grown woman. If you can't accept my decision, then at least support me."

I just nodded. She isn't even listening to me.

"Fine. But that means you have to support my decision, too. We're getting married after graduation." I took her hand and placed it on my stomach. "And I'm pregnant."
