Love Is Fair by Kerri

Chapter 215 A Big Mistake It was normal for a son to massage his mother’s disabled legs, but such a loving scene was rare for Polly and Owen. They had not talked to each so calmly and peacefully for a long time, and they did not even remember when the last time was. Polly was a little embarrassed and afraid Owen’s knees would hurt if he continued kneeling, so she intended to ask him to stoop kneading her legs. But the housekeeper Winnie knowingly brought in a small round bench and said, “Owen, the floor is too cold. Sit here. Your mother’s legs indeed need a good massage.” When she winked at Polly and backed out, the latter showed a helpless smile. Owen sat on the small bench, focused on pressing her legs, and said, “Tomorrow, I will accompany you to the hospital for a medical

check” “No need. They cannot be cured anyway. I don’t want to waste time…” Polly refused without thinking. Owen looked up at her and said firmly, “You must go.” Polly was speechless. She then pursed her lips and said, “Okay, I will go. It’s not a big deal.” Owen’s stern face softened a little. After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, “Did you meet Alan and Maya in Berny?” Owen paused the massage and said, “How did you know?” “My friends who attended the reception told me they saw you.” Owen replied lightly, ”Yes, I met them.” He thought that she was going to speak ill of his father and Maya, but she didn’t talk about them l but looked deeply at him and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “I’m sorry for what happened back then. I’m an unfit mother.” Hearing this, Owen slightly raised his head in shock. When Polly leaned against the back of the chair, she still looked charming. Although she was not young now, Owen could still see the

heroic spirit in her eyes. There was a rare wry smile on her face when she sighed softly, “I’ve often recalled what happened in the past recently. Maybe, it’s because I’m getting old. I’ve been tough and stubborn since I was born. And your grandparents have always spoiled me. So, I am very arrogant,” Polly evaluated herself. She then glanced at her son and said, “You should know that I was not born with a silver spoon. When I was young, our family was not rich. Your grandfather was reselling antiques, so there were more bricks and tiles than food at home. Although I was poor, I was ambitious and I did not think I was inferior to anyone else. Before finishing high school, I went to do business with your grandfather. As the business of the Moore family became bigger and bigger, I reached marriageable age.” Although Polly had never told Owen about those things before, they were not new to him. His grandparents had told him about his mother’s growth experience. He knew Polly had contributed a lot to the business of the Moore family. Otherwise, their company would not have reached such a large scale. Among her siblings, she was the one who had suffered the most. “At that time, your grandparents thought I was very old, so they were anxious about my marriage. They were afraid that I would not be able to get married, so they began to arrange blind dates for me. But I was proud. I thought those so-called rich men were either ugly or money-oriented. They were too vulgar, so I did not like them but chose Alan in the end.” Polly sneered, “I was young, so I didn’t mind his humble birth. I believed only love mattered and decided to marry a handsome man who I liked. I did not care about our different statuses. You should know what happened afterward…” Owen of course knew. He had witnessed his affectionate parents turn against each other and his originally happy family fall apart. He had been involved in it during the entire process and knew what had happened, but he still did not understand why. Why had they suddenly stopped loving each other? If love disappeared so easily, why were there so many great love stories since ancient times? He couldn’t figure it out, so he had once refused to believe in love and marriage, thinking Love was too short, and marriage was a meaningless thing. He could only grab those who loved him. He had thought he had grabbed Miss. Right, but it turned out she did not love him at all. And he had lost the woman who loved him. “I didn’t want to admit my failure or the fact that I am a loser in love. Your father and I had tortured each other for ten years because I was unwilling to let go.” Polly slowly, “But now, I admit that I lost. But I did lose to myself instead of Maya.” She then looked at Owen and said, “Son, do you know why I was so against you divorcing Hailey back then? First, I know Eliza is not a good person because she is like her aunt Maya. Second, I was afraid that Hailey would make the same mistake as me. I don’t want her to ruin her own life for an unworthy marriage or a man who doesn’t love her.” Hearing this, Owen frowned with a complicated look in his eyes. Mentioning Hailey, Polly slowly smiled, “But she is stronger and inore decisive than me. She dared to love and hate. As long as she

to leave, she had stopped hesitating. If I had broken up with your dad so crisply, my legs would not have broken, and you

anymore. I will be happy as long as both of you lead good lives.” “No!” Owen suddenly said, stared at his mother with his deep eyes, and said in a calm voice, “Even if you stop forcing me, I will try to win her heart back.” Hearing this, Polly was slightly stunned and said, “Why are you…” Soon, she slightly narrowed her pretty eyes and said, “Is it because Hailey is the president of Crystaldale? You can do this to her. You have hurt her badly once, so you can’t hurt her a second time. What’s more, we don’t need you to marry anyone for our business…” “Mom, don’t get me wrong!” Owen instantly interrupted his mother’s speculation and said solemnly, “I know I made a big mistake in the past. I want to make up

heavily as if the whole city would be submerged when Hailey knocked on the door of Edwards Mansion.
