Chapter 767: Chapter 785: Then, I’m Ready to Love You (8)

His eyes, welled up all of a sudden. Even though he knew she was fast asleep and couldn’t see him cry, he still turned his head away forcefully and closed his eyes. After a long while, Elijah Smith let out a long sigh, carefully pulled his arm out, got down from the bed, picked up the pen and paper on the bedside table, and left a note for Ella Adams, "Remember to eat when you wake up, take care of yourself. I’m going to see my sister."

Then he picked up his clothes from the ground, dressed neatly, and left quietly.

...

In the afternoon, Isabel Smith was with Raymond in their usual routine until Raymond fell asleep at night.

When Isabel Smith was putting Raymond to bed, she thought of what Thomas Quincy had told her at noon. So she cautiously started a conversation with Raymond, trying to fish for his feelings, "Raymond, what would you do if your mother suddenly appeared?"

Raymond did not understand why Isabel Smith asked this question all of a sudden, but his face fell quickly. The smile that was on his lips during their conversation just now had turned into a tight line.

Seeing Raymond’s change in attitude, Isabel Smith felt an inexplicable discomfort.

She inadvertently upset Raymond every time his mother was mentioned.

Looking at Raymond’s upset face, she didn’t have the courage to confess to him that she was his mother. She quickly changed the topic, and continued to soothe Raymond to sleep.

Even though Isabel only mentioned his mother briefly, Raymond’s mood never returned to the excitement they shared earlier. Even as he finally fell asleep, he had an unhappy expression on his face.

Isabel sat by the bedside watching Raymond. Seeing him displeased even in sleep made her heart contract violently.

Raymond’s reaction just now let her clearly understand his resentment towards his mother. In the past, Raymond had shown his discontentment towards his mother in front of her, but at that time, Isabel did not know she was Raymond’s mother, so besides feeling sad for him, she didn’t have any other feelings.

But now it was different, she was the mother Raymond resented. When she once again saw Raymond’s hardened expression uncharacteristic of his age after hearing about his mother, Isabel’s heart ached as if it was being pierced by a needle.

Especially now, when she thought of the times Raymond had told her that he hated his mother, her body filled with an unspoken fear.

Could it be that Raymond really hates his own mother?

What if he finds out that she, his constant companion, was the mother he always hated? What would he do then?

Would he still be as close to her as they are now?

Isabel knew that she was to blame for Raymond’s feelings. No matter how well-off or well-educated a child from a single-parent family is, they still have inherent shortcomings.

Thinking of all these things, Isabel’s heart was filled with intense guilt and a sense of wrongdoing.

Isabel couldn’t help but raise her hand and gently touch Raymond’s cheek. Looking at her child she’d been reunited with after five years, she softly said, "Raymond, I’m sorry."

I truly am sorry.

Your mother didn’t intentionally abandon you.

Your mother has always been looking for you and always had you in her heart.

When you know that I am your mother in the future, please don’t blame me, okay?
