Later, she fell asleep while holding a picture of Fiona, but I couldn't sleep at night.
I opened my cell phone and saw that Asher had updated a friend circle.
“Rielle finally has the missing mother's love. What belongs to us, no one can take away!”
Beneath the caption was a photo of the three of them, arms around each other, smiling warmly at the camera like a picture-perfect family.
I casually clicked a like and suddenly a message popped up on my cell phone.
Asher sent a video. I opened it to see Fiona’s beautiful face on the screen. The timestamp was from shortly after she returned to the country.
A friend asked her, “Fiona, what do you think is the happiest thing you've ever done?”
She replied nonchalantly, "Probably last week, overseas. I coaxed Rielle to sleep and then pulled Asher into the bathroom.”
Paired with the softness in the bottom of her eyes and the uproar coming from around her.
My hands and feet are cold.
Asher shared a quote in his circle of friends: Ever since we had a child, we’ve barely had time for ourselves. We can only sneak around to do this and that after Rielle falls asleep…"
I was lost in thought when Asher sent a message again.
[I'm really sorry, I just clicked the wrong one and actually sent it to you by mistake, and when I realized that, I can't withdraw it anymore.]
[But to be honest, you should also know how Fiona feels, right?]
[In the beginning, it was because you used underhanded tactics that you forced the marriage to be her husband, but in these three years abroad, she has always accompanied me and Rielle.]
“Although Rielle is not her own, Fiona is more thoughtful and considerate than Rielle’s own mother. Even if we break up, she still can't let go of me. It won't be long before we will still come back together.”
“Mr. Curtis, I know your family is wealthy and you don’t lack for women. I suggest you don’t torture yourself any further. Just bow out gracefully.”
After saying that, he sent another picture.
Rielle was in the center smiling brightly, he and Fiona kissed the girl's cheeks at the same time, it really looked like a beautiful family.
I smiled and replied to him, “Okay.”
Then I called my mom's number.
“Mom, I've made up my mind. I'm taking Maisie to settle abroad and I'll be leaving in a few days.”
My mom's surprised voice came.
