Chapter 1839


    After a while, Maisie heard the footsteps gradually fading away from the door. She regained her


    composure, opened the door, and found the two big bags and a food container left on the floor.


    “What’s going on?” Daniel’s voice suddenly sounded.


    Maisie looked up with a somewhat lost expression on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she


    decided to take the items inside.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Recently, I always thought it was you sending me food.” She opened the fridge that was packed full of


    stuff. “But today, I found out that those items left at my door were actually from my mom.”


    Daniel looked at her profile, which was tinged with a hint of sadness, feeling a pang in his heart. He


    hugged her, letting her lean against his chest.


    He understood how much she yearned for her mother’s love, but when that love arrived, she couldn’t


    ept it.


    Well, was bted maternal love still as precious?


    Whether it were family, love, or friendship, if it didn’t show up when needed the most, it was like a


    parachute that couldn’t be opened in mid-air. Once missed, there was no need for it to reappear.


    However…


    Daniel cleared his throat. What if that “parachute” was wrong from the beginning?


    He kissed her hair and said softly in her ear, “I know she’s your mom, and you’re reluctant to think


    badly of her… but I still want to remind you that excessive kindness can be deceitful. You need to be


    cautious with anyone and anything, understand?”


    “Yeah, I understand.” Maisie’s mood was still low.


    “Don’t worry too much about her.” Daniel cupped her face. “She raised you, but that’s all it was, just


    ‘raising’. She hasn’t given you anything of value. Instead, she’s constantly taking from you like a


    vampire. Such a person doesn’t deserve the title of a mother.”


    “Mm…”


    “Starting tomorrow, I’ll assign more people to protect you, or I’ll have a word with the security manager


    of this neighborhood. She won’t be allowed to enter this area again!”


    “Oh, please don’t.” Maisie tugged at him, looking a bit troubled. After a while, she said softly, “She…


    After all, she’s my mother.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

    Daniel’s heart sank. He wanted to tell her the truth, but until everything was clear, he believed she


    should know as little as possible.


    He hinted, “Maisie, some people… don’t deserve to be parents and don’t deserve your respect or love.”


    “You don’t have to worry about me.” Maisie looked at him with a smile. “I won’t do anything for that


    family anymore. Even though she’s my mom, she can’t control my future life. I’ll set boundaries with


    them.


    “Although I don’t understand why my mom suddenly started being so nice to me, I still want to have a


    good talk with her. I’ve fulfilled my duties to her and my brother, and I hope she won’t disturb my life


    anymore.”


    Daniel was stunned for a moment. Countless words surged up within him, but in the end, he managed


    to only exhale an “Okay”.


    “Are you hungry?” Maisie smiled, looking at the food container on the table. “Even though I’m setting


    boundaries, let’s not waste food, right?”


    She walked over, opened the container, and found hot and delicious braised pork ribs inside that


    smelled absolutely mouthwatering.


    Even Tigger was drawn by the aroma, wagging its tail as it bounced over. It stood on its hind legs and


    continuously pawed the air.


    “Are you hungry too?” Maisie chuckled at it. “Alright, I’ll feed you right away!”


    Danielughed, patting the dog’s head. “Looks like you’ve gained some weight, huh? And you still want


    to steal some ribs?”
