CHAPTER 392: CHAPTER 209: I JUST WANT TO CHERISH YOU 1

This led to the plan of Skyler Jones’ Gold Coast project encountering problems...

The plan went through many twists and turns, but finally brought out "M". Only when "M" appeared in front of Howard Geoffrey did Howard Geoffrey realize that "M" was actually his mother...

If everything went according to Howard Geoffrey’s words, his choice to hide the identity of "M" from her is understandable.

Because at this moment, she truly preferred to be kept in the dark by him.

Her mother had never left any impression in her heart, nor did a single photograph of her mother exist at home. Her father had never mentioned her mother in front of her...

She had always thought her father considered her mother a taboo because her mother had died early, and her father dearly missed her mother. So, she never brought up her mother to avoid making her father sad. But until Howard Geoffrey came into her life did she realize that the reason her father avoided speaking of her mother was that her mother broke his heart...

No one knows the intricacies of the affairs of the previous generation other than those involved. Even if she knew that the origin of the feuds of the previous generation lay in her mother’s poor character, causing their generation to suffer greatly, she never blamed her mother in her heart. After all, her mother was deceased, and she always felt that no matter how bad her mother was, she was still her closest kin...

However, at this moment, as she listened to everything about her mother from Howard Geoffrey, her heart felt as though someone had suddenly torn a hole in it, and the pain began to spread across her body...

She could not deny that despite having a comfortable life and a doting father, deep within her, she had always secretly longed for her mother...

Every time she saw friends being loved by their mothers, she always felt envious. She had even fantasized about her mother being by her side...

"Mother" was so sacred and noble in her heart, but how could she have imagined that over these twenty-plus years, her mother was alive yet unwilling to meet her, even doing things to hurt her...

Her heart felt very lost, very lost...

She didn’t understand why she would have such a mother?

Tigers, cruel as they are, do not devour their cubs. Even if she had no feelings with her father, she was her biological daughter; how could she do things to hurt her?

Yes, it was hurt...

She wanted Christine Quinn to kidnap her and threaten Howard Geoffrey, so be it. Only today did she know another thing: that the shocking scar on her chest was indeed left by her mother’s harm...

Five years ago, her mother had already threatened Skyler Jones who approached her. Her mother seemed aware of her importance to Howard, so she intended to threaten Howard by harming her. However, to her mother’s surprise, Skyler Jones felt compassionate for her upon first meeting and eventually, went against her wish to release her... Later, because she completely lost touch with Howard Geoffrey for four years, her mother stopped harming her.

She couldn’t imagine that the scar on her chest, which nearly cost her life, was the act of her own biological mother. She couldn’t fathom how such a mother could exist in this world, capable of treating her biological daughter so cruelly...

Villa.

Howard Geoffrey gently closed the bedroom door.

"Howie."

Mrs. Geoffrey, who had been waiting outside the door, walked over at the right time.

Howard Geoffrey signaled Mrs. Geoffrey to be quiet with a gesture, "She’s just fallen asleep."

Mrs. Geoffrey nodded, then followed Howard Geoffrey into the study.

Once they closed the study door, Mrs. Geoffrey asked, "When you came back, I noticed Becca didn’t look well... What happened? Didn’t you register?"

Howard Geoffrey sat in the chair behind the desk, quietly muttering, "Mom, I want some quiet time."

Mrs. Geoffrey instantly got nervous, "Son, did something happen? Could it be..."

Howard Geoffrey calmed down and said, "Nothing happened between Becca and me. She’s not feeling well, so I brought her back..."

"But you look..."

"I’m fine, it’s just that there’s a problem with the project in Italy that’s making me a bit frustrated."

Upon hearing Howard Geoffrey’s words, Mrs. Geoffrey finally let out a sigh of relief, "I believe you’ll find a solution to the project’s problems... As long as there’s no issue between you and Becca."

"Hmm, I’ll find some time to register with her."

"Alright, Becca isn’t feeling well; I’m going to check on her..."

"Mom, no need, let her sleep a little longer... We went to the hospital for a checkup; she’s okay, just the adverse reactions from pregnancy."
