Chapter 393

Declan smiled gently. He said. "Mom, it's true. I've been keeping an eye on them all the time. Natalie is safe now, thanks to Murray and Mrs. Spencer, who rescued her."

Wendy took a deep breath. With Murray protecting Natalie, she felt much more at ease. She looked at the worn-out, old two-bedroom apartment.

After living in a villa for half her life, she wasn't used to this kind of place, but it wasn't uncomfortable either. The small space felt cozy. Now that it was just her and Declan living here, it was nice.

Honestly, as long as there was happiness, there was nothing to be ashamed of. Wendy let out a deep sigh in her heart. Life was long. Until one reached the end, one never knew who would be the one to stay by one's side. After living most of my life, Wendy understood that some paths needed to be walked with heart. She had already made it through tough times, and in the future, she would definitely be happy.

Wendy said, "After the holidays, Ricky will be back. He cares a lot about Jennifer, but I'm not sure what he'll decide. Will he choose your dad and Jennifer, or will he stay with me?" Wendy had seen firsthand how much her four sons cared for Jennifer. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to cry, so she got up to find something else to do.

She tidied up the clothes in the wardrobe and said softly, "Declan, go back for now. Come back after work. Don't let Jennifer suspect."

Wendy's eyes glistened with tears. A cold smile appeared at the corners of her mouth as she thought, 'It is the end of the month; Jennifer should be crying now.

Seeing Wendy's back, Declan's heart ached for her. He knew Wendy felt pain. The happiest moment in Wendy's life was marrying Nick. Then she had five chills.

She had told everyone countless times about her loving husband and devoted children. But she lived in denial, where her sons were not devoted; they only asked for money every month. Even Jennifer, who was spoiled, knew only how to ask for money, not how to earn it. Wendy earned a lot, and she covered everyone's monthly expenses. No one thought much of it. Those lost in happiness often overlooked the negative side of others. When one's heart was filled with sweetness and satisfaction, everything seemed wrapped in a gentle filter.

Traits once seen as sharp flaws and annoying behaviors now seemed less glaring and unbearable in the glow of happiness. Because of this, they softened Jennifer's unpleasant side, and Natalie appeared more rational. those It felt like Natalie had a rebellious streak, and they saw those warm smiles and sincere care as fake. They adored Jennifer so much that they automatically overlooked her flaws.

The more Declan thought about it, the more he felt like a jerk, less of a good person. He had done a lot of things in the past to hurt Natalie for Jennifer's sake.
