“Whether you like it or not, you’re getting married this time. I know what you’re thinking about. You’rejust waiting for Alex to marry you, aren’t you? But there’s no hope for that anymore. Alex is going tomarry Kate.”
With that, Carmen yanked Heather from the bed and started pulling her out of the room.
Never Marry Him
“Mom, what are you doing? I’ve told you, I won’t marry him. There’s no way I’m marrying a man oldenough to be my father just for money.”
Heather struggled with all her might but to no avail. These days, Carmen had been doing a lot ofphysical work, be it household chores or outside work to earn money. Thus, her strength was muchgreater than that of Heather.
Ignoring Heather’s struggle, Carmen continued to drag her out of the room. She was genuinely terrifiedof enduring a life of poverty and couldn’t bear it for even a single day. The only person with thepotential to change this situation was Heather.
“Mom, if you keep forcing me like this, I might as well die!” Heather said defiantly.
Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Carmen gradually calmed down. She released Heather’s handwith an apologetic expression on her face.
“I’m sorry, Heather, I was too harsh just now. Please don’t be mad at me. I’m at my wit’s end. I’m wornout from working and doing housework every day. I can’t go on like this anymore. can only place myhopes on you.”
As Carmen spoke, she suddenly covered her face and began to cry. Her sobs were heart- wrenching,as if she had suffered the greatest injustice in the world.
Seeing her mother crying so heartbrokenly, Heather was somewhat moved. She reached out and heldCarmen’s hand.
As Heather touched Carmen’s hand, she noticed the numerous calluses that had developed eventhough Carmen usually took good care of herself. Observing Carmen’s face, she also spotted theemergence of wrinkles.
Although Carmen could be quite selfish at times, she was still Heather’s mother. Heather couldn’t helpbut feel a tinge of compassion.
Extending her hand to gently wipe away the tears on Carmen’s face, she offered comfort, saying,“Please don’t cry. I’ll go see Mr. Watson, alright? I’ll be obedient.”
When Carmen heard that, her tears instantly ceased as delight crossed her face. She looked atHeather with a smile and asked, “Do you really agree to go on a date with Mr. Watson? You’re nottrying to fool your mother, are you?”
Heather let out a helpless sigh and repeated, “I’ve agreed to meet with Mr. Watson. I’ll do as told. Stopcrying.”
“Okay, I’ll stop crying. My dear daughter, you’re so understanding. You truly are my good
