Chapter 72


    Chapter 72


    Any sense of drowsiness vanished entirely, and Larissa was very much awake.


    She no longer had the mood to read the rest of the messages and retrieved her tablet from the bedside


    table drawer. She then foundst night’s episode of ” The Mediators Room”.


    Travis’ parents arrived at the set as the “mediation representatives”. They had mournful looks on their


    faces, and they looked fragile too. Janine’s eyes were also red from crying, and she could only squint


    through the swelling.


    The host asked, “What would you like me to mediate for you?” Before he had even finished, Janine had


    already begun to wipe at her tears.


    “I… I just want…” she sniffled. “I just want to apologize…to apologize to my daughter-inw.”


    Dick sighed and gently patted her back, his face filled with mncholy.


    The host retrieved some tissues and passed them over. “Try to calm down, and then tell us in detail


    what misunderstanding there is between you and your daughter-inw.”


    Janine wiped at the tear tracks on her face and sat nkly for a few minutes. before she continued,


    “Actually, this is all my fault. My son is the head of the technical department of a brokerage firm. By a


    stroke of luck, he met my daughter-inw during work. She is a manager of a big hotel in Covenford


    and is very beautiful. My son fell for her at first sight, but my husband and I didn’t even know that they


    were dating. Then when my boy brought her home, he said that they were going to get married. I


    couldn’t ept this at that time. Mothers would know. You know how that feels like when your boy


    suddenly decides to run off with someone else without even telling you. I didn’t even know what my


    daughter-inw’s background was. Anyway, I was really sad and a little angry. So, I was not kind to my


    daughter-inw, and I supposed I gave her the impression of a “wicked mother-inw”, and she did not


    treat me well.


    “At first, my husband and I were against this marriage. The first reason was the one I mentioned, that


    our boy didn’t tell us about it. The other one was that I did not like my daughter-inw’s job. Maybe it’s


    because we’re from a more conservative generation, but I think a pretty woman working in a hotel gives


    12


    off the impression that she’s not a decent person, but my son insisted on marrying her. My husband


    and I have always respected his opinions, so we agreed.


    “I thought that my rtionship with my daughter-inw would get better after the marriage, but who


    knew that it would get worse?” When Janine got to this point, she choked up and wiped her eyes again.


    “My daughter-inw never got pregnant, and I was worried if she had some kind of health condition.


    So, during the new year celebrations, I thought of taking her to the hospital for a checkup, but she


    refused me in a very drastic way, and even called me a ‘psycho’. After they went back to Covenford, I


    tried calling my daughter-inw again, but she refused to answer. My son told me in secret that she


    was what they call a childfree person, you know, the type that


    doesn’t want kids.


    “My husband and I are not getting any younger, and our sons are now sessful. What we really hope


    for now is to see our grandchildren. The moment my son told me that he and his wife didn’t want kids, I


    lost my mind. Honestly, if it was because my daughter-inw refused children due to having some kind


    of medical issue, I might not have been so mad. But she’s actually afraid that she’ll lose her figure after


    getting pregnant as well as the pain thates with giving birth that she refuses to have kids! I reallyText ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    thought that she was too selfish, and I originally wanted toe to Covenford to talk to her about it, but


    my son stopped me.”
