Chapter 290
Bella‘s POV: “Don‘t call the police! Let Betty take Anne out of this house? I‘m very worried about Anne‘s life. If the police were alerted because of our family affairs, they would definitely be discussed and laughed at.” Mother refused my suggestion. “Ryan is a joke. He once abandoned us, but now he suddenly stuck to you like a piece of gum!” I said angrily. Mother frowned and said, “You know, I don‘t want to be talked about, and he looks very pitiful now. He has nowhere to go now. And Betty now has a good relationship with him, and she doesn‘t allow me to drive him out.” “Why doesn‘t he have a place to go? Where‘s Connie and Emma? Aren‘t they a family?” I asked. Mother then replied, “He said he couldn‘t go on with Connie. The older he was, the more he missed his own daughter. He missed our family, so he divorced Connie and came back to find us.” I thought Ryan‘s words were not trustworthy at all. “Mom, do you believe Ryan‘s words?” Mother lowered her head and stopped talking. I saw that your mother didn‘t have any ideas at all and was very anxious. “Mom, you don‘t want to drive him away now because of the past friendship. But you must understand that you must not make peace with him. Otherwise, the rest of your life will be over!”
At this time, mother‘s eyes were full of firmness. “Don‘t worry. I will never make peace with Ryan in my life. I let him in because I think he is very pitiful and on Betty‘s request. It‘s absolutely impossible for me to make peace with him.”
Hearing this, I felt a little relieved. Then, I said, “No wonder Betty recognized Ryan so easily. Now she wants him to help her deal with Hank.”
“Betty was unwilling to part with Hank, and Ryan taught her many bad methods. Betty listened to all of them. I really don‘t know what will happen,” mother said worriedly.
At this time, I was a little worried. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
If things went on like this, Betty and Hank would probably be enemies. The adult was fine, but what would Anne do in the future? Could it be that Anne could only have a mother without a father, or a father without a mother when they got divorced in the future? Thinking of this, I became more worried. Although I knew what Betty had done would only make Hank hate her even more and Anne would hate him even more. But Betty wouldn‘t listen to me at all. Instead, Betty would think that I was deliberately trying to ruin her relationship with Hank.
Therefore, in the end, I could only say to mother, “Mom, tell Betty that before doing anything, she should consider Anne first.”
“She doesn‘t listen to my words at all. She has quite a lot of resonance with Ryan. Hey, how can‘t I see that Betty has inherited his genes?” Mother said helplessly.
Hearing this, I kept silent and didn‘t know what to say. I could only observe first.
Before going out, mother took my hand and said, Bella, I know that this period of time is your most difficult time. i need your help the most, but I can‘t help you with our family‘s current situation.
Seeing mother‘s guilty eyes, I quickly smiled and said, “Mom, I‘m living a good life with Lucky now. I‘ll take her and Lucas to see you next time.” “If you have time, I‘ll go to see you. The house is in a mess. You have to quarrel when you come back,” mother said gently. I knew that mother cared about me very much. I was very happy. “Mom, call me if you need anything. Remember what I told you. If it doesn‘t work, let them live here. Move in with me, and I‘ll find a bigger house,” I said. “Yes, don‘t worry.” Mother nodded.
I walked out of the corridor and saw that it was still early, so I wanted to send some resumes to try my luck.
I didn‘t expect that at this time, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed me, and I was frightened.
“Bella, wait a minute.”
I turned my head and saw that it was my mother‘s neighbor, Patricia.
I didn‘t have a good impression of her. After all, she liked to talk about others.
What was she going to do this time? “Patricia, what can I do for you?” I asked. After seeing that there was no one around, she let go of her arm and whispered, “How many months has it been since you last came back? Do you know what happened in your house? Ryan came back to live here. Did your mother tell you?” “Yes.” I didn‘t want to discuss these things with her, so I said, “Patricia, I have something else to do. I don‘t have time to talk to you...” But before I could finish my words, she grabbed my wrist again. I didn‘t know why Patricia did this. Was she forcing me to listen to her? I was about to shake her hand off when I heard her continue, “Bella, listen to me. It won‘t take you too long. “What are you trying to say?” I asked. Then, she said, “Bella, your mother is too kind. I don‘t want to see her being cheated. Ryan is not a good person. Do you know why he ran back to your house and begged your mother on his knees?” “Why?” I stared at her in confusion and thought, “Does she know something about the inside story?” “The mistress who seduced Ryan was called Connie. She wanted to marry a very rich man. It‘s said that he was more than ten years older than her. That‘s why she divorced Ryan!” During the talk of what had happened that year, Patricia was still very angry with Ryan. It could be seen how terrible Ryan had been.
Hearing this, I looked at her with shocked eyes.
No wonder Ryan came back to look for mother. It turned out that he had been abandoned. Ha, this might be God‘s punishment for him.
