Female Novel
Chapter 84
Chapter 84 As Stefania listened, her face turned cold and serious, and disdain was evident in her eyes. Nicholas’seyebrows knitted together, betraying the displeasure he felt. Gregory also pouted his tiny lips, obviously upset. Nicholas was silent for a while, then nodded at thebutler. “Let her in.” The butler nodded in response, and soon Roselle was sashaying through the door. To her surprise, thesight that greeted her was Tessa, Nicholas, and Greg sitting at the dining table, halfway through theirmeal. The harmonious atmosphere was very similar to a family reunion… There was a shadow across the look in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She took two steps forwardand greeted them politely in her gentlest voice, “Good day, Mrs. Sawyer. Hi, Nicholas.” Stefania glared at Roselle, her voice cold. “And what business do you have here?”
Roselle looked haggard as she said in a soft voice, “I’m here to apologize. Ever since I left the mainhouse yesterday, I haven’t slept a wink. I keep feeling guilty when I think about Greg. I know that mymother did all that for my own good, but I can’t get over it no matter what. So, I decided to come andapologize to Nicholas and Greg. Of course, I know that no matter how much I apologized, I would neverbe able to make up for Greg’s pain, but I still want your forgiveness! Today, right here, I’m kneeling inapology for my mother’s sake as well. Please forgive us!” With that, Roselle bent her knees and knelt on the floor. Tears began to flow out of her eyes, and shesobbed ever so softly, looking so pitiful and touching the hearts of those who laid eyes on her. Seeing that, Tessa remained silent, but she had to admit that Roselle honestly had a way with words.Roselle didn’t have to say much to subtly push the blame on her mother, hence presenting herself asinnocent. She also came meekly to apologize in her mother’s stead, and her helpless tears won compassion forher, adding to her constructed image of a thoughtful daughter. Those who understood would know howRoselle’s mind worked. Those who did not, however, would be completely deceived. novelbin
Nevertheless, this had nothing to do with Tessa, so she could care less. She just placed more food onGregory’s plate, then silently ate her own food, pretending not to know anything. Nicholas’s face was icy cold as he remained silent as well. He lowered his head and ate in silence, thenquietly said to Gregory, “Eat up.” In fact, he refused to spare Roselle even a glance. The man’s unfazed attitude shocked Roselle so much that she paled. She had come here today to getNicholas’s understanding and attention by showing how tragic she had been. However, the man didn’teven seem to hear her, so she felt very defeated. Roselle was a little regretful now. She should’ve known how incompetent her mother was, and sheshouldn’t have used such a terrible tactic which benefited no one. She only had herself to blame, for she was too anxious to chase Tessa away. But now, Tessa was eating at the table, enjoying the Sawyer Family’s warm welcome. Roselle herself,however, had to be on her knees in humiliation! The contrast between the two women was so strong that Roselle felt extreme discomfort. Her chest was filled with rage and indigence, and her watery eyes were tinted with a vicious gleam. On the other hand, as Stefania looked at Roselle kneeling on the floor pitifully, her heart softened a little. In the end, she sighed quietly and said, “Get up now, Roselle. Even kneeling won’t erase the fact thatyour mother had caused harm to Greg. However, since you weren’t in the know, I won’t blame you forthis.” “Really?” Hearing that, Roselle was instantly delighted as she got up from the floor and thanked her hurriedly,exclaiming, “Thank you so much, Mrs. Sawyer!” With that, she bit her red lip and looked nervously at Nicholas. “Nicholas,” Nicholas didn’t even raise an eyebrow as he interrupted her in his bitter voice. “Your mother has harmedGreg, so even if you came to apologize, I would never forgive you. However, you mustn’t forget onething. Remember how you pushed the blame on Miss Reinhart despite your conscience? Now, apologize
to her. She’s the truly innocent one.” Hearing that, Roselle was instantly dumbfounded.
