A Cue For Love Chapter 1089


    Chapter 1089 Laughing Stock


    Zophie thought Yumi would be as stubborn as before. However, she did not expect that no matter how


    harsh she was, thetter did not shed a tear. Instead, the girl merely chewed and swallowed the bun


    that Zophie fed her.


    The woman’s thrill of taking revenge quickly evaporated. Getting tired, Zophie stopped feeding her.


    “Just look at you. Starving and pathetic.”


    Yumi said nothing and merely continued eating the bun. “Like ‘mother,’ like daughter. Just as I thought,


    any child raised by Natalie is absolutely revolting.” Yumi swallowed thest mouthful of food and red


    at Zophie. “Don’t talk about my mommy like that!”


    Zophie was momentarily stunned. Then, her red lips parted as she snapped, “I can’t believe you’re still


    defending that woman! Why are you taking it so personally when she’s not even your biological


    mother?”


    Yumi had no wish to say too much to Zophie. However, perhaps because defending Natalie had


    be second nature, she could not help blurting out, “You can bully me. However, I won’t allow you


    to say such things about my mommy! She’s the best mommy in the world and is as important to me as


    my biological mother!”


    This is ridiculous! Cursing inwardly, Zophie flung the remainder of the bun she was holding onto the


    ground. The more she behaves like this, the more frustrated I get.


    “This is what I get for feeding you,” she spat out. Then, she slowly stood up and warned in an icy voice,


    “You’d better pray that that ‘best mommy in the world’ of yours keeps her word and hands over the jade


    key in two days. Otherwise, I’ll end your life.”


    With that, she left the dim room. Zophie went along the secret passage, then up the stairs to her room.


    After turning on herputer, she checked Natalie’s itinerary.


    Her red lips curled into a smile when she saw that Natalie had booked an early morning flight from


    Loang to Chanaea.


    As expected, she left the jade key in Chanaea. ording to ze’s instructions, I should report the


    whereabouts of the jade key and Natalie to King. But… I don’t feel like doing that. All King cares about


    is that key. He couldn’t care less that Gale died. If I want to avenge Gale’s death, I’ll have to rely on


    myself, not ze. Of course, if I get the jade key, I’ll give it to King to make up for taking matters into


    my own hands.


    “Gale, in less than two days, I’ll make that woman pay for all the wrong she did to you. As members of


    the same organization, we didn’t have anyone we loved or the right to be loved. However, you were the


    only one who gave me hope and cared about me. Everyone else in this world may forget you, but I


    won’t. Wait for me. Wait for me!”


    At five o’clock the following morning, Anna entrusted her daughter to the nanny before leading Natalie


    out the door.


    As a master craftsman skilled at carving, rumors about Varre still circted, although his whereabouts


    were a mystery. If Natalie had not inadvertently stumbled upon the fact that Varre and Anna were father


    and daughter, she would not have been able to trace him.


    Even though the person Anna was going to look for was her father, she looked grim. There was no sign


    of the joy of returning home on her face.


    On the bus, Natalie gazed at Anna’s lips, which looked as though they were about to bleed from Anna


    biting them. The former could not help but ask, “Anna, you and Mr. Appleby—”


    “Natalie, why must people have fathers?” Anna suddenly asked. Natalie was silent. “Even when a


    woman has a career, she still has to care for her family and children. Regardless of whether a man has


    a career, he can abandon his family and children. When he doesn’t want them, he can walk away


    without hesitation.


    And when he changes his mind, he can return at any time and seek forgiveness with a few sweet


    words.” Anna had a confused look in her eyes, and her voice was faint.


    Natalie was bereft of words. All she could do was continue listening to Anna talk about the thoughts


    that were troubling her.

    “All men are the same. Caleb was like that, and so was my father. If men deserve forgiveness because


    they changed their minds and chose to return, wouldn’t the suffering the wife and children went through


    turn into aughing stock?” Tears rolled down Anna’s cheeks as she spoke.
