True Love Waits

Chapter 456 Nanna

Miranda was filled with guilt, and she wanted to make it up to Carlos for the past. She would give him anything he wanted, no matter what. Debbie smiled teary-eyed, and then something occurred to her. She pulled out a tissue to wipe away her tears. "May I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"If...I mean, if for some cruel reason, your mom was forced to abandon you soon after you were born, and then she came back after twenty or so years to beg you for forgiveness, would you forgive her?" Debbie had considered asking Carlos for his opinion about the issue, but she was worried that he might not understand the mother-daughter relationship since he was a man.

Whereas Miranda was a mother and she would undoubtedly enlighten her on the topic.

Confusion clouded Debbie's face. Miranda had only to glance at her to understand what was going on. "All mothers love their children. As a mother, you should know that. Put yourself in your mom's shoes. Think about it. If you had to be away from Evelyn for more than twenty years, how would you feel when you saw her again?"

Debbie was stunned. She had never thought about it that way. If she were Ramona and Evelyn were her... The more she thought about it, the sadder she grew. Bitter, warm tears flowed from her eyes, blurring her vision. She wiped her tears away and said to Miranda gratefully, "Thank you, Aunt Miranda. I know what to do now."

Miranda continued, "Elroy is heartless. I know a little about the feud between your family and the Lu family from when I was in Y City. But don't worry about him. He hasn't done anything to you so far. That only means he's afraid of Carlos. Maybe you should ask Carlos for help?"

Debbie shook her head. "I don't want to involve Carlos in this. He's already swamped. I can handle it myself."

"Okay, if you've already made your decision. I sympathize with your mom. We were both forced to be apart from our children for many years. Believe me. Those years were very tough. She must be dying to make it up to you."

Debbie and Miranda talked for two hours at the tea house.

Afterward, she went back to work, and Miranda went to the mall to pick out a gift for Evelyn. She wanted to meet the little girl before she flew back to New York.
