Chapter 281: Chapter 281 Child bride

Stella waited angrily in the company for RK for a whole day, but she didn’t see him come to work. Later, she heard that he was on a business trip abroad.

D*mn it! He was on a business trip when she was going to get even with him angrily. He had gone too far!

Stella was surrounded by an angry aura the whole day, which made her colleagues tremble with fear. They didn’t know what had happened.

When she got off work in the afternoon and rushed to the hospital, Adrian asked her where Bad Uncle had gone.

"Your bad uncle was sold to South Africa by human traffickers to be a child bride," Stella replied fiercely.

"Oh, what is a child bride?" Adrian asked curiously.

"Er... A child bride is... is the daughter-in-law of a rich man in old days who was bought for his son..." Stella felt that her son’s brain was very abnormal.

"Oh, it turns out that a wife can be bought. Did bad uncle buy you back then, Darling?"

Stella was at a loss for words.

However, Adrian’s analogy was quite appropriate.

In this case, she was like a dowry maid who married into a family in a noble lady’s place in ancient times. She could be used as a facade. When the noble lady recovered from her illness, the maid could only serve as a decorative piece.

Ah, it’s so sad.

She was indeed free now. Her wish had been fulfilled six years later, but she still had some thoughts in her heart. If she didn’t return, she might have lived the rest of her life in peace. However, when she came back, not only did she return but she also met with RK. With his character, it was impossible for him not to find out her background when he saw Adrian, but she still tried to cover it up. In the end, they parted ways unhappily.

To be honest, six years ago, she had been full of disappointment about the land where she had lived for more than 20 years. When she dragged her suitcase, she had never thought about going back. She didn’t regard it as her territory anymore, but just her hometown.

That’s right. X City was no longer her territory. She took it as if she was going back to her hometown.

Since she was revisiting her hometown, there was a possibility of meeting her old friends.

Stella felt that if her life was ruined, it would be a failure. There was nothing she could do and she didn’t want to add anything more to the messy situation.

That afternoon, Stella took an afternoon off.

Instead of going to the hospital, she went to the cemetery.

When her mother passed away, she hadn’t been very sensible. A few days ago, she kept asking where her mother had gone and why she hadn’t come back. At first, David had coaxed her patiently. In the end, he couldn’t bear her worries and told her that her mother had died.

She remembered what kind of mood she had at that time. She still had a vague understanding of life and death. She did not know what would happen to a person after they died. She did not know what kind of concept her mother’s death was, but at that moment, she had a sense of despair that she would never see her mother again.

Even now, she still remembered that those scars were still clearly engraved in her heart.

The moment she almost lost Adrian that day, that feeling returned to her clearly.

She was desperate and afraid, but there was nothing worse than self-blame. Usually, she always felt that she was a competent mother, but at that time, she could feel her uneasiness. She didn’t have a mother’s love for her child, nor did she have any reaction when the danger came to protect her child. At that time, she was stunned, no different from the child who needed protection himself.

She had been making fun of RK, but she found that he was more patient with Alia and took care of her more than she did with Adrian. Apart from the issues of the principal, he never showed his irritable and rude side to the child. He cared for and loved the child 100%. Compared with him, she was not good enough.

She had been wondering if she should give Adrian to him so that her son could grow up healthy under the protection of his father. Maybe her love for Adrian was limited, and it was not compared with what his father could give him.

"Mom, do you think I did something wrong? I couldn’t take good care of Adrian, but why did I insist on giving birth to him and raising him on my own? He has suffered so much with me, and I have always hurt him. Do you think I did something wrong?"

It was quiet in the cemetery, and no one answered her.

Stella stroked the photo on the tombstone and looked at her mother’s familiar eyes. It seemed that she had returned to many years ago when their family was still very happy. Although David often didn’t go home, her mother always took good care of her. Comparing herself to her mother, her care for Adrian was far worse.

"I remember once I cut my hand with a knife and kept crying. You bandaged it. At that time, I remembered that I lost a lot of blood. You said that I should eat more vegetables to make up for the blood I lost. Then I had to eat vegetables every day for several weeks."

"Another time, I hit the head of a student in the kindergarten, with a small stone. You took me to his house to apologize to him but found that the classmate’s parents were your former classmates. You two chatted together. In the end, I became good friends with that classmate."

"I still remember that you quarreled with David for the first time. I don’t know if you had ever quarreled before. In my impression, it was the first time you had quarreled with each other. You were usually so good-tempered that when you talked loudly, I was scared at that time and hid behind the door. I didn’t dare to speak. To be honest, I knew that David had an affair with someone else." Stella calmly told her about the dark memory in her heart. "Later, I learned that he had an affair with someone else for a long time, but you never know about it."
