Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 148 Engagement to Wedding

After Charlotte said that, she picked up her bag from the ground and walked out of the ward in a hull. Watching her retreating figure, Cherry trembled with anger. She pointed to the spot where Charlotte had stood just now and gritted her teeth.

“Erin, look at your aunt! Is she even human? Even if she apologized and knelt down for forgiveness, it was all an act! Both she and Grayson probably wish for my early death, those inhumane beasts-

Looking at her mother, Erin said seriously, ‘Mom, since you think so, you shouldn’t let those shameless people have an easy life. You should live well in the future. You’re better off living out the rest of your life happily than wallowing in their betrayal.”

Although Cherry’s smile didn’t quite reach her eyes, she was determined. “You’re right. We shouldn’t let them have the satisfaction of breaking us down. Erin, you must promise me that you’ll work hard in acting and strive to succeed as soon as possible. Let your biological father, Steven, see how well I’ve raised you! And let Charlotte see how outstanding my daughter is! Then only she’ll know her daughter

can’t compare.”

Cherry’s words carried strong subjective emotions, but Erin understood her. She replied, “Mom, as long as you and Gavin are doing well back home, I’ll be at ease filming in any city.”

Cherry nodded with remorse. “I know. I was wrong this time and made you worry. Such things will never happen again. I promise you!”

“Really?” Erin was afraid that Cherry might suddenly change her mind. What if she started obsessing over it again later?

“Yes, really. I realized through this experience that it’s better to be alive than to be dead. I’ve always lived so positively and optimistically. I won’t let an unfaithful man be the end of me! It’s just not worth it. In my heart, you and Gavin are the most important. You’re my reason for staying alive and moving on,” Cherry said, her eyes turning red again.

Erin took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Cherry. She said with earnestness, “Mom, you’ve worked hard for me and Gavin for most of your life. You don’t need to work so hard anymore. If you want to keep the mart, go on ahead. If you don’t want to, just sell it to someone else. I’ll focus on acting wholeheartedly now that I’ve closed my online store. Don’t worry, I won’t let you down!”

Cherry nodded with relief. Her eyes were filled with hope as she looked at her daughter. This daughter of hers had always been mature and considerate as she grew up. She never caused any trouble for Cherry. This was something that she’d always been glad of after divorcing

Erin took out a bank card from her wallet and handed the three hundred thousand dollars she earned from selling her online store to

Cherry.

“Mom, here is three hundred thousand dollars. You must accept it. I know the mart is doing well, and you won’t lack money for your daily expenses. This is a fund for Gavin’s future college education. Steven paid for my education, after all. I must repay this favor, or I won’t feel

at ease.”

Cherry looked at her daughter. Although she was reluctant to accept the money, at her daughter’s insistence, she took the bank card and said, “I’ll keep this money and not spend it. You don’t need to be responsible for Gavin’s college expenses. That’s something we, as parents, should take care of. Even if I don’t live with Grayson anymore, Gavin is still his biological son. He can’t shirk his responsibilities.”
