Crystal's POV:

When confronted with Beryl's pleading, I couldn't let out a word. It was as if a lump was stuck in my throat.

"Are you leaving? Mommy, please don't go. I promise I will listen to you and won't be naughty anymore." Then she cupped her hands around my face with her pleading eyes. My eyes welled up with tears as I said in a broken voice, "Baby Beryl has always been a good girl. Mommy loves you."

"So Mommy, you will not leave anymore?" Beryl eyed me expectantly.

I moved my lips but I couldn't bring myself to really speak and refuse her plea.

"Crystal, maybe you can postpone your plan. Why do you need to leave in such a hurry anyway?" Laura also persuaded me in a low voice. She was obviously sympathizing with Beryl.

I fell silent for a long time. My mind was a mess. Now was the best time for me to leave before it was too late. If Rufus found out anything, I might not have the chance to leave anymore.

"Mommy, please." Beryl pouted and shook my arm in an adorable way. Every time she wanted me to do something for her, she would always do that. In most cases, I would be too soft and agree, but this time, I simply couldn't take the risk.
