Chapter 360 But What About My Child (Part Two)
"This woman is your mother?" Jessica looked at Cynthia with surprise. How could a stunning and
youthful woman like her be Daisy''s mother? This woman seemed graceful and noble. Did she mishear?
Jessica wondered.
"Yes, to put it more urately, I''m Daisy''s mother-inw. So what can I call you, Miss?" Cynthia sat
beside Daisy and racked her brains out, trying to remember who this woman was. But she failed to get
any clues.
"Hi, Auntie. I''m Jessica Lin, I''m stunned to see how young and beautiful you look." Jessica immediately
realized who the woman was. She was Edward''s mother. This was great for her n. But howe
both his parents looked so young? Jessica felt a shiver go down her spine at the thought of Edward''s
indifferent behavior at the party the other day.
"Oh! You''re Jessica!" Cynthia nodded. No wonder she felt she had met this woman before. She used to
see all kinds of reports about Jessica and Edward in the newspapers. But why was she here with
Daisy? Cynthia wondered.
"Auntie, do you know about me? Did Edward mention me to you?" Jessica couldn''t help but feel
delighted on hearing Cynthia''s words. It seemed that she still had a ce in Edward''s heart, otherwise
how could his mother know about her? Jessica thought.
"I have seen you in the newspapers. My son has never mentioned any woman to me, except for his
wife, of course."
Cynthia took a nce at Daisy. She felt relieved when she noticed Daisy''s calm manner. ''Ah! It is all
Edward''s fault. He has put Daisy in an awkward position, I''m sure she feels stuck in the middle, ''
Cynthia thought.
"Oh? But you know about my rtionship with Edward, right?" Jessica felt annoyed that Daisy won
again. She couldn''t bear that Edward cared so much about Daisy.
"Miss Lin, I believe many people have close friends of opposite-sex when they are young and naive.
But as time passes, people change. The past neveres back no matter how much you want. Your
past rtionship doesn''t matter anymore, why are you still holding onto it?"
Cynthia tilted her head and looked at Jessica. Was she iming war with Daisy now? But shouldn''t she
argue with the man who dumped her? It was useless to argue with Daisy. Don''t forget that women were
the ultimate victims in such cases. Cynthia thought.
"Auntie, does this mean you don''t ept me either? But what if I tell you that I''m pregnant with Mu''s
child? Would you still push me away?" Jessica bit her lip. She was sure that no grandmother would
give up on her grandchild. She was determined to win by pulling all the tricks up her sleeve.
"Miss Lin, even if you''re pregnant with Edward''s child, I''m sorry I still can''t ept you because I have
already epted Daisy as my daughter-inw. And it''s impossible for me to ept any other woman. I
hope you understand."
Cynthia sneered. Was Jessica trying to bring up her pregnancy to win her heart? This would never
work with Cynthia. She didn''t sumb to emotional traps, otherwise, she wouldn''t have been able to
make a cold-hearted man like Jonathan bestow his affection only on her? Cynthia wasn''t an easy
target. No one dared to challenge her, and Jessica wasn''t eligible to make such an unreasonable
request.
"Why? How can you ept Daisy''s child? While treating me like this?" This question had hovered in
her mind for quite some time. She felt determined to get an answer today.
"Miss Lin, Nothing is perfect in this world. Daisy got married to Edward several years ago. She has
always been our daughter-inw. Can you give us any reason not to ept her child?"
Cynthia felt a surge of guilt as she considered how much struggle Daisy must have faced to bring up
Justin all by herself. She had to work hard to earn a living, at the same time, she had to endure her
husband''s affairs with other women. She had suffered a lot to gain the rewards she had today. Daisy
was quite persistent and determined. Cynthia felt sorry for Daisy''s troubles.
"But what about my child? What about me?" Jessica couldn''t ept Cynthia''s exnation. Because
even though Edward got married several years ago, he was staying with Jessica forst few years. She
believed that Edward didn''t love Daisy at all. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have had so many women in his
life.
Daisy was sitting silently listening to their discussion. she suddenly felt that Jessica was a pathetic
woman. Jessica''s situation was simr to Daisy''s when she was pregnant with Justin. But the
difference was Daisy was sure that Justin was Edward''s child while Jessica didn''t even know the real
father of her child. So she felt sympathy toward her and didn''t want to take her offensive words
seriously.
"I think Edward has given you all the answers. So it''s useless to argue with us here. Besides, I believe
that my son is a responsible man. If this really is Edward''s child, he will give you a satisfactory
response, but if it''s not, he won''t give a damn. Judging from Edward''s indifferent attitude towards you, I
think it''s obvious that your child has nothing to do with him. So please behave yourself and stop
harassing Daisy. After all, she had also experienced the same struggles."
Although Cynthia didn''t spend too much time with Edward, as a mother, she knew her son''s likes and
dislikes. She also knew quite well about his personality and character. She was sure that Jessica''s
child had nothing to do with Edward. Otherwise, Edward wouldn''t be so rxed when he was with
Daisy.
"It''s impossible. I have been with one man only and that''s Edward. If Edward is not the father of my
child, then who else would it be? Why? Why are you all so sure?" Jessica shook her head frantically.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
She had heard these words many times. Edward had said those to her more than once, and every time
he seemed quite firm about it. Was there something she didn''t know about Edward? She
wondered.
