Colin allowed others to call Esme Mrs. Nelson.
He was obviously biased towards Esme. I laughed at myself.
I touched the wound on the neck.
Due to the deep wound, a scar was left.
The doctor said at that time that if it went up another inch, the artery would have been broken.
I almost died.
But Colin just casually brushed it off.
During the month in the hospital, I didn’t hear a word of concern from him.
Maybe because I hadn’t spoken for a long time, Colin asked about the parents’ meeting of the two six-year-old sons.
“How would I know?”
I was surprised. I didn’t even know that the two children had had a parents’ meeting recently.
I lowered my head, feeling sad.
How could I have the chance to attend their parents’ meeting?
After I gave birth to two children, the people from the Nelson family took them away and raised them as heirs.
It was difficult for me to meet them.
I had cried, made a scene, and fought for them, but it was all useless.
They said that I would mislead them.
In their eyes, I was a gold digger who schemed my way into the Nelson family.
Since they were willing to let me be Mrs. Nelson, I should be grateful.
If I wanted to expect more, there was none.
Colin pursed his lips at the words.
After spending many years together, I understood him very well.
This was his expression of displeasure.
“Pay more attention to the parents’ meeting, and care more about the children.”
I know what he was saying.
Today was Sunday, a rare day when I was allowed to pick up my two sons who were learning horse riding.
I started making their favorite pastries in the morning.
But I waited at the horse stable for a long time, and didn’t wait for the children until it was dark.
What I received was a call from Esme, who said in a reproachful tone, “Madam, don’t you remember? Today’s horse riding class has been changed to swordsmanship class. I have already picked up the children.”
The phone was filled with the scolding voice of my mother-in-law, Aurora.
“I already said that she can’t take care of children. She left the two children there for the whole afternoon! Is she still a mother? She is so heartless!”
Then came Colin’s gentle voice, “Esme, thanks to you today.”
What followed by was Aurora’s agreement. They were happily having dinner over there.
I didn’t want to listen anymore.
I hung up the phone and stayed where I was.
No one had informed me about the change of class.
