Chapter 307


    307 epting her mother


    “Jes-” Pink tried to touch her but Jeslyn moved away, she went through the other side of the bed and


    sat down. She wore her flip–flop and hurried towards the door.


    Turning the knob, it didn’t open. She tried again and again, but it didn’t budge.


    Jeslyn turned around with a cold look on her face. “What is the meaning of this?”


    Pink took a deep breath and stood up, “let’s talk“, she said.


    Jeslyn snorted. “Open the door“, she ordered.


    Pink shook her head, “I’m sorry, I can’t. We need to talk“.


    “Do we need to talk? With that face of yours?” Jeslyn chuckled. “For how long do you intend to appear


    in front of me with that disguise?!!!” Jeslyn yelled in frustration.


    Pink sighed. She took off her ck jacket and unbuttoned her white shirt to reveal her ckce bra.


    She raised her gaze to look at Jeslyn, the angrydy was still staring at her.


    Pink returned to what she was doing. As she was unbuckling the hook of her bra from behind, Jeslyn’s


    eyes shifted to the Half–heart tattoo on Pink’s forearm with her lips curled up in disdain.


    Pink took off her bra and started to pull up the skin from her chest area. Soon, her skin from the chest.


    distorted and all Jeslyn could see was a silicone skin being pulled off with difficulty.


    From the way it was being taken off, Jeslyn felt it would hurt but she was too angry to care about


    Pink’s state.


    Soon, Pink pulled the silicone mask off her and brushed her heavy hair away from her beautiful cold–


    looking face.


    Jeslyn stared unblinkingly at Pink’s face which looked exactly like Ms. Alice’s. Her lips quivered. Was


    this a dream? Is this real? Jeslyn shut her teary eyes and shook her head.


    “O–op- open


    the door“, her voice shaked. She bit down on her lower lip so hard that it drew blood. Her heart was


    aching so much that she couldn’t bear to stay in the same room as Pink.


    “Open the door!!!” She screamed. Her body fell limply on the door and she slowly slumped to the floor


    with her back on the door.


    Jeslyn broke down in hot tears and covered her face with her palm. “Why are you all doing this to


    me?… What did I do wrong to all of you? What?!”


    Pink couldn’t bear to see the state her daughter was in. She walked slowly to her and knelt in front of


    Jeslyn. She pulled Jeslyn into her hands and hugged her.


    “I–I’m so sorry, child… I’m deeply sorry“, Pink also broke down in tears. Jeslyn tried to push Pink away


    but couldn’t.


    “I know I wronged you, you are right to hate me, but I’m sincerely sorry child, punish me please, I’m


    sorry“.


    “Leave me alone, you all are wicked!” Jeslyn pushed her again but couldn’t break free.


    “Yes, I am, I am wicked, I was selfish and evil but I did it for us all.”


    “You did, you broke me for your selfishness!” Jeslyn uttered amidst tears.


    “I’m sorry“, Pink apologized.


    While the daughter kept using, the mother was epting the me and apologizing. Jeslyn went


    on and on,menting her sorrow like a heartbroken child, while Pink gave her a listening ear and


    apologizing after her daughter was done with a sentence or two.


    “Stop apologizing! It doesn’t change anything!” Jeslyn cried out loud and gently hit Pink’s arm.


    Pink smiled with tear stains in her eyes. “Ok, I will stop apologizing“.


    “Why won’t you apologize after hurting me so deeply? Don’t I deserve it?” Jeslyn’s cry grew louder.


    Pink couldn’t hold it back and chuckled out loud.


    “She’s evenughing at me, I’m funny, right?” Jeslyn wailed more.


    Pink continuedughing at Jeslyn’s childish attitude. It was clear that Jeslyn was no longer angry and it


    was a relief to Pink.


    None of them knew how long had passed. Jeslyn and Pink were seenter, eating the spicy and cold


    chicken with running noses.


    “How did you switch ces with my mom without Mr. Wales finding out?” Jeslyn asked after taking a


    sip from her wine.


    “Alice and I agreed that I’ll spend a week with you every six months. I knew everything about my sister,


    so I was able to blend in. When I was with you, she would leave until it was time for me to


    return.


    “As for Mr. Wales, the useless man must have been too angry at Alice to notice the difference in his


    wife. Also, I made sure to stay away from his room and live with you in your room within those weeks“,


    Pink exined.


    “Indeed, there used to be sometimes that my mom would sleep in my room for a week. If only I knew it


    was you“. Jeslyn grew sad for a moment before she changed the topic, “When did you stoping

    and why?”


    Pink


    put down her cutlery filled her cup and drank a little before answering: “I stoppeding when you


    were fifteen years old. Things got messy at that time and our lives were in danger. Your grandmother


    was killed too and your grandfather was starting to get threat messages, so I had to abandon you and


    the family to keep you all safe.


    “If only I knew that going away from you all was what the enemies wanted so they could dig into your


    affairs.” Pink downed another ss of wine in one go as a bitter taste of sadness and regret assaulted


    her heart.


    Seeing this, Jeslyn sighed helplessly and held Pink’s hand on the table. “I can’t me you much


    because I had no idea how tough things were in the past but you tried your best. Grandpa won’t be


    happy seeing you like this, my mom and grandma also. We have reunited now and this time, we can


    fight our enemies together“.


    Pink swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat.
