The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! by H. Dally

Chapter 91

“Mum?”

The woman in front of her was Rita Blade, Karen’s mother, Thalassa called her “Mum” because that was what the woman had asked her to call her on the first day they met.

She still remembered that day perfectly. After the death of her mother when she was just a child, she had been sent from one foster care home to another, always being rejected for one reason or another, as if she wasn’t good enough.

When she became a teenager, through hard work and determination, she managed to earn a scholarship to an elite high school–the same high school Karen attended.

Almost all the students rejected, mocked, and bullied her for being a scholarship student. Those who didn’t bully her didn’t even bother to notice her.

One day, while she was being bullied, Karen came to her rescue and defended her from her tormentors, and that’s how they became friends.

Since then, they had been inseparable because Karen was always there for her–supporting her financially when she needed it and defending her from the bullies.

When Karen told her that she wanted her to meet her parents, Thalassa had been incredibly nervous, fearing she would be looked down upon and rejected again. But Rita Blade had been the complete opposite.

“Mrs. Blade, I’m so glad to meet you,” she remembered saying.

The woman had instantly shaken her head, and with a look of pure love and affection in her eyes, she had said, ” No. Don’t call me that again, dear. Call me Mum. Karen considers you the sister she never had, so you’re like a daughter to me.”

True to her promise, she treated Thalassa as nothing short of her own daughter from then on. Thalassa would spend her vacations at the Blade house, where she had her own room. It was a true taste of family.

Rita Blade said, her eyes bright with unshed tears before she rushed forward and engulfed Thalassa in a tight hug. “Oh dear, oh dear, it’s so good to see you
