Baby Alliance: Helping Daddy Get A Rich Mommy Chapter 418


    Chapter 418 The Name of My Mother


    “Go on. I didn’t tell you to stop.” She hugged him, much to his surprise. “You aren’t asking me to stop?”


    Selena knew how stressful his job could be. Back then, she used to be a smoker, and she knew most


    of the time, men smoked to relieve the stress within him. She was fine with it if a cigarette could take


    away some of his sadness.


    “Tone it down. It’s bad for you.” That was all she said, and she trusted that he would understand. Upon


    hearing that, Pierre chuckled and opened the window for the smoke to drift outside.


    In the meantime, Selena leaned against his chest. “Since we’re getting married, we’re going to face


    everything together. Don’t keep everything bottled up. Tell me if anything is bothering you. I know I


    might not be of help, but at least I can listen to your troubles.”


    He stared down at her for a moment, then he suddenly blurted, “Francesca Moody.”


    “Sorry?”


    “My mother’s name. Francesca Moody.”


    Selena’s eyes widened in shock, and words failed her. She knew that name, for Francesca Moody was


    the most famous female celebrity of thest generation. Movies were a novelty back then, and


    Francesca Moody was the most famous actress then. Everyone knew her name, and Selena could still


    remember hearing her father talking about it every now and then when she was little.

    Francesca Moody’s poprity was second to none back then, and she was the first actress to film


    overseas. However, Francesca suddenly stopped acting at the zenith of her fame, and there were no


    more works with her in it. It turned out that she had married John Fowler.


    Selena remembered her father being an avid fan of Francesca, and she saw a lot of posters with the


    actress in it around the house when she was little. Since her mother, Cecilia, was also a fan of


    Francesca, she let Rnd do what he wanted with them, butter, Jezebelle married Rnd, and she


    forbade the posters’ existence.


    Selena remembered that big argument Jezebelle and Rnd had back then, and then the posters were


    burned. It was obvious that Francesca was more famous than anyone of her era, but Selena never


    expected her to be so devoted to love. She never expected Francesca to marry someone at the peak


    of her fame.


    “I always thought Mom died from a disease, then I found out it was because that geezer had an affair.”


    Pierre never called John ‘Dad’. He’d call him a geezer most of the time, though he would still call John


    ‘Dad’ if he had no choice.


    “My mother loved him deeply. She gave up the job she loved to marry that geezer and raised a family


    for him. She was willing to be an ordinary housewife just for him, but then she found out about his


    affair, and it broke her.” Pierre paused. “And she took her own life.”


    The news shocked Selena. No wonder Pierre hates his father that much. If Francesca had died


    because of a disease, Pierre might have had less of a grudge, but no—she took her life because of the


    unbearable heartbreak and hatred. It broke her, and she took her own life, for the pain had eclipsed her


    love for her son.


    Pierre puffed heavily. “Don’t die, Selena. Not even if something were to happen to me. Live. Live for the


    kids, even if not for yourself.”


    Selena felt heartbroken after hearing that. Of course, she knew Pierre wasn’t talking about him having


    an affair, for he would never do that. She knew he must have been talking about the risk he would face


    in his line of job.
