Chapter 1100


    During the meal, with Dolores present, ine was less restrained and ufortable than before, and


    much more rxed.


    Dolores would ask her about her experiences over the past two years, and ine would answer in a


    colorful way.


    Those experiences, or funny, sad, or hard, or lonely.


    But perhaps that''s why the current get-together is so precious.


    Christine sits next to her and asionally asks Dolores a question or two along with her words.


    The whole atmosphere, gradually from detachment, slowly be warm up.


    ine was talking to both of them with a big and bright smile on her face, her eyes curved and full of


    light.


    Darnell sat next to her and watched her, the corners of his lips curling up gently.


    When she finished eating, ine was about to leave when Christine called her back, then turned


    around and took a box from the maid and opened it, inside was a crystal clear ring.


    She put this on ine''s hand: "There''s nothing I can give you after all you''ve bought me, so take this


    back with you."


    ine opened her mouth, even though Christine did not mention the origin of the ring, she could tell at


    a nce that it was worth a lot of money.


    She subconsciously turned her head to look at Darnell, who raised his eyebrows slightly, signaling her


    to take it.


    ine gathered her courage, went up and hugged Christine, and whispered, "Thank you Auntie


    Christine."


    Christine gave a rare smile and gently patted her back: "No need to be polite with me, juste and


    stay with me more often when you have time."


    ine nodded, "I will."


    On the way back, ine looked over and over again at the ring Christine had given her, loving it as if it


    was more than the ring Darnell had given her in the first ce.


    She tentatively asked Darnell, "Auntie Christine this means she epts me, right?"


    Darnell said, "Like I said, she would have loved you."


    ine happily hugged his arm and muttered, "If I had known it was like this, I would havee to see


    her earlier, you don''t even know how nervous I have been for the past few months, I didn''t even want to


    ...... have a wedding"


    She said thest few words so quietly that Darnell didn''t hear them clearly.


    "What?"


    ine raised her hand and looked at her ring with a smile on her face, "It''s nothing, I''m really loved by


    everyone."


    Darnell let out a lowugh, his chest vibrating slightly, "Yeah, right."


    ine herself said it does not feel anything, but he also a serious concurrence, her ears can not help


    but redden: "that ...... that we often return to James'' Mansion in the future ...... "


    "It depends."


    ine bristled, but understood that he didn''t have much time, she whispered, "Then I''lle back by


    myself, Auntie Christine looks really lonely all by herself eh."


    Darnell put his hand on her shoulder and looked out the window, wondering what he was thinking.


    ine looked at Jiang Jing who was not far away and suddenly spoke, "Do you remember, what you


    promised me?"


    Darnell retracted his thoughts, "Hmm?"


    "You really don''t remember."


    Darnell: "......"


    He promised her a lot, indeed.


    Darnell was silent for two seconds: "Can you give me a heads up?"


    ine got out of his arms and made a face, "I can''t, just forget it if you don''t remember, it''s not very


    important anyway."


    Darnell rubbed her head andughed silently.


    ine actually enjoys his intimate gestures and can empathize with why cake always likes to rub her


    head with it.


    After a few brief seconds, ine leaned back into his arms, "That''s good enough."


    Someone once said that one should not be too greedy and want everything, or one will have nothing.


    So, everything is enough for her now.


    They were able to live together all the time, and her father was still alive, and Auntie Christine epted


    her.


    Nothing could be more beautiful than all of this put together.


    ......


    After a few days, ine took a time when the store was not busy, made some desserts and took them


    to James'' Mansion.


    Christine was not surprised by her arrival.


    Although thest dinner was very cordial, ine was inexplicably nervous when it was just the two of


    them.


    After she put the dessert down and sat for a while, she got up and said, "I ...... I brought it for Auntie


    Dolores too, let me take it over to her."


    Christine said, "She''s still at church, I''ll have someone send her thereter."


    Dolores returned to James'' Mansion, as she had promised, and spent three years in church praying


    and repenting for the things she had done.


    Hearing her say that, ine resumed her seat.


    Christine''s eyes fell on her empty wrist and asked, "Why aren''t you wearing the ring I gave you?"


    ine said, "I have to make desserts in the store every day, afraid of touching the damage, so I put it


    away ......"


    Said, and afraid of Christine unhappy, quickly added, "I put it at home, have a good collection."


    Christine smiled lightly, did not ask too much more on this issue, but said: "I believe you can see, I do


    not have a good rtionship with Darnell, since childhood, I have been very strict and harsh on him,


    only want him to avenge his father, to inherit the patriarch of James family position, but ignored his


    inner feelings."


    ine slightly froze: "This he did not say to me ......"


    But after the words were spoken, ine suddenly remembered that when she was worried that Auntie


    Christine didn''t like her, Darnell had said, "You''re living with me." She had thought that it was a


    comforting remark, but now it seemed as if it wasn''t without reason.


    Christine continued, "I was, at one time, against you being together. Because I felt that you would


    cause him to make the wrong choice and to lose the ability to make decisions that he should have."


    ine didn''t say anything, pursing her lips gently, she couldn''t deny that it was true.


    "For reasons destined for this path, Darnell he has carried a lot on his back since he was a child, and


    his personality and feelings are cold, but that time he had a fight with me for you. Your father and I


    wanted to facilitate your marriage before, it was a matter of each taking what he wanted. If I had known


    he would fall in love with you, I would not have done it in the first ce."


    ine''s hand on herp clenched: "Auntie Christine, I ......"


    "ine, you are a good boy, and I can see what it is about you that attracts Darnell, so I hope that in


    the days ahead you will love him as much as you do now, and he will love you the same way."

    Hearing her words, ine''s face gradually lifted into a smile and she nodded heavily, "Thank you


    Auntie Christine, I will."


    As ine left, Christine said, "I hope the next time youe back, I can hear you call me Mom."


    At that, ine was stunned for a moment.


    The word "mother" was so foreign and longing in her world.
