Chapter 503 Drawing Attention To Amelia

Early next morning, Vincent and Laura got off the flight and returned to their mansion in a cab with their luggage.

When they arrived home, they saw Jennifer sleeping on the couch. Laura’s worry turned into anger at that moment.

She threw her suitcase to the side and walked over quickly. Then, she pulled Jennifer up. As Jennifer had slept very late the night before, her head ached when she was forcibly woken up.

The first person she saw when she opened her eyes was her furious mother. “Mom, you’re back.”

The next moment, Laura slapped her. That woke Jennifer up instantly.

The latter cradled her cheek which stung from the slap. Her eyes were red and watery as she asked, “Why did you hit me, Mom?”

“Look at you! You’re a Larson, but you are acting in such a pathetic way. I wish you weren’t my daughter. How did I raise a daughter like you? You came back all the way here just for a man. Are you trying to drive me mad?” Laura lashed out, her chest heaving.

“I’m sorry, Mom,” Jennifer said remorsefully as she lowered her head.

Laura couldn’t help but soften her attitude when she saw Jennifer act that way. She collapsed on the ground, looking dispirited.

Putting her hands over her forehead, Laura said grimly, “Is Carter so important to you? So much so that you went against what we had arranged for you and came back. Did you know how angry I was last night? My lifespan must have shortened because I have such a disobedient daughter.”

Jennifer rubbed her temples and replied in a hoarse voice, “Mom, my head hurts. Let me go upstairs and wash my face. Then, we’ll talk. Is that okay?”

Laura looked at her and relented.

After going upstairs, Jennifer took a hot shower. She was aching all over from sleeping on the couch. After the shower, she felt much better. Then, she changed into a clean dress and went down the stairs.

Laura and Vincent were sitting on the couch together. When Laura saw Jennifer, she pointed at the opposite couch and said, “Have a seat.”

Jennifer did as she was told.

With her arms crossed, Laura asked, “Does it have to be Carter, Jennifer?”

“Mom, I love him. I feel different when I’m with him. I’ve never felt this way with any other man. I don’t think I can fall in love with anyone else,” Jennifer stated honestly after pondering for a while.
