When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 89

Chapter 89

If you asked someone to tell you about their childhood memories. Most could only remember a few scenes. Memories were weathered over time. Laritte also had little recollection of living with her biological mother.

AD
‘I only remember being scolded for no reason. It wasn’t until I was sent to the County that I didn’t know why my mother did it.’ Laritte grabbed the iron gate and looked into Olivia’s eyes.

“Laritte?” Ian stood behind her.

Olivia was a famous dancer in the shadows. She gave birth to Laritte, which ended her career and left her starving. The people of County brought out Olivia’s story whenever they teased Laritte. “An illegitimate girl abandoned even by her mother, isn’t it a very good topic for making fun of her!”

As Laritte grew up, she understood why Olivia had come to hate her. “I don’t know why you came looking for me.” Laritte’s gaze descended to the ground below Olivia. There was no snow today. However, all the sprouts were frozen to death and the ground was barren.

She had no doubts in her belief that her mother would hate her forever. No matter what kind of discrimination she faced in the County, she could not miss her mother.

“Laritte. Your mother…..,” Olivia raised her hand through the grills of the iron gate, her voice quivering. Her hand was caught by Ian while trying to stroke Laritte’s cheek.

“What are you doing?” He growled in a low voice. “Laritte, there is no need for you to look after her because she’s your mother. Even, within the boundaries of family, there is a limit to how much you can take care of yourself. No one can curse you even if you don’t treat her like a mother.”

“I have no such intention.”

“What? But…..,” did you not seem emotional just now? In fact, Ian had reached a stage where he could understand her even if she stood still.

Ian released Olivia’s wrist before she stepped down. The gatekeepers lowered their spears from both sides to block her.

“I mean, I really don’t know why she came here,” Laritte spoke to the point where Olivia couldn’t hear her. In the Empire, dancing was not a prestigious job. It played the role of entertainment during street festivals and poor quality parties of the rich.

In many cases, the person in charge often received back payment or hired only dancers who had a good interest. In order for a dancer to perform well, she had to be smart politically.
