Chapter 1144
Maria felt like crying even more after hearing what she said. In confusion, she stared at her grandmother questioningly.
Nerissa immediately looked down at her granddaughter and comforted her. "The most difficult thing for a woman is definitelychildbirth. It was even more difficult for your Mommy since she was single. So, it really required a lot of endurance on her part.It's fine if you don't understand it now. You can be forgiven for your lack of understanding, but you shouldn't hold a grudgeagainst her. Once you grow older, you'll eventually understand how difficult it must have been for her."
"It’s just that you and your Daddy don't seem to be very capable. If you guys were capable, then you would have been able tocome back with your Mommy. | mean, your family can't just remain separated like that."
"Grandma, whose side are you on? Do you still have any principles? Your son was playing around and yet you're criticizing himinstead of helping him. Now, you don't even want to help me, your granddaughter, as well. What has happened to yourgrandmotherly love?" Maria blurted these out in one go.
Nerissa smiled helplessly and said with a sigh, "Of course, Grandma wishes you and your Dad the best. That's why I'm hopingfor your family to be reunited, since that's the best thing that can happen for you guys."
"Grandma, | can't see where you're coming from." Maria told her the truth.
“You were born with a stupid Dad and yet you still aren't helping him solve his conflict with your Mommy. It looks like it's going totake forever for your parents to finally reconcile."
"| won't help them anymore. | want to sleep now. Grandma, let's go to bed." Maria held Nerissa’s hand and walked into thehouse.
Zachary was about to enter the house as well.However, Nerissa closed the door as soon as she entered the house.novelbin
Zachary, who was walking behind them, almost walked into the door and was moments away from hurting his own nose. Helooked at the door that was now shut in dismay, as he touched his nose that almost got banged.
He could hear his mother and daughter speaking from the inside."Grandma, why did you close the door?"“Of course | have to leave your Daddy outside. Do you really want him to remain single forever?"
Maria was also very smart and immediately understood what she meant. "Grandma, are you trying to say that you want to makehim look for my Mommy again and not come back for the night?"
“Of course, my granddaughter is so smart." Nerissa praised her. "You're so much smarter than your Daddy."Zachary was startled and he remained in the same spot for a long time.
Was it appropriate for him to return to Yvonne's place at this hour?
He had left her place twice in the same day. Should he still go back tonight?
He felt troubled as he thought to himself, "I'd better forget about it.”
Knocking on the door, Zachary said, "Mom, please open the door for me."
Nerissa refused immediately. "No way, Don't come home until you find your wife. Our house is too quiet. An old woman like medoesn't even have a daughter-in-law that | can talk to. Hurry and come back with her."
"Mom, open the door first." Zachary said again, "It's not appropriate for me to go over for now!"
"Cut the crap. Hurry up and head to where you're supposed to be." Nerissa interrupted her son's words impolitely. "Don't comeback if you can't find a wife, okay?"
Zachary felt very helpless. After waiting for a long time, the door remained closed. Left with no other choice, he finally left in hiscar.
When his car left, Nerissa opened the door to check and ensure that he had left. She sighed in relief. "He has finally left."
"Grandma, is it really appropriate to let my Dad look for her in such a hurry?" Maria wasn't very supportive of her decision. "I stillthink that my Mom should be left alone for a period of time, so that she understands how it feels like. This way, she will be able tounderstand how to appreciate things and people more, and that relationships don't come by easily."
Maria said a lot of things while gritting her teeth, making Nerissa unsure of whether she was supposed to laugh or to cry."That's your Mommy. She'll definitely be heartbroken if she ever heard you saying that."
"Does she have a heart? If she did have a heart, then why would she abandon me for so long? Is there such a Mom like that inthe entire world? Grandma, you're a true Mom. Look at how happy
my Daddy is.”
Nerissa sighed, patted Maria's hair and said, "You don't want to admit what you're thinking of, but deep down you're the onewho's hoping for her to come back the most. It's all the better if she can give birth to a new brother or sister, right?”
Maria looked at her grandmother in disbelief. Then, she avoided staring into her eyes and shook her head. "No, that's not true,Grandma. I'm going up to take a shower first.”
“Look, you're escaping right after | pointed out your little secret." Nerissa reminded behind her. "Move slower. Stop runningaround so quickly. What if you slip and fall?"
However, in a blink of an eye, Maria had vanished into the corner of the second floor.
On the way, Zachary drove on the road in annoyance. He was contemplating whether he should go home since his mother wascertainly not going to allow him back in.
Should he return to Yvonne's place?
That was too quick.
Since when did he become so cautious?
Forget it. He would just find a place to ponder over this issue.
He drove on the road for an hour without any destination in mind. Finally, he stopped the car somewhere and lit a cigarette towatch the fireworks all over the city.
It made him feel extremely lonely.Suddenly, his phone rang.He took a look and realized it was Grace who was calling him.
"Zachary, how are you? | didn't dare to call you previously but I've been thinking of you."
"You just want to ask me how things have been with Yvonne, right?" Zachary was straightforward with her.Grace instantly responded. "Yeah, that's what | wish to ask about."Zachary sighed before he even spoke.
Grace realized something was wrong. "Zachary, you've always been rational, but why are you so inefficient when it comes tohandling relationships?"
"| don't know where to start." Zachary said, "It's not about efficiency. It's about the human heart."Grace paused for a moment.
Zachary hesitated for a moment and continued. "People's thoughts are so nuanced. Even though there's such a deep sense oflonging, it's still mixed with a tinge of unease."
"Zachary, are you thinking of howunfair it is that she left you for solong? Yet, at the same time, yoorriissrand wish be with her.Feeling such contradicting emotionsin your heart makes you feel likethere's nowhere for you to vent yourfrustrations. Is that right?"

Grace was bright enough to capture the essence of what he meant.
Zachary sighed. His cousin, Grace, was really bright. He smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, you're right. That's exactly what's on mymind now."
Grace comforted him and said,"Zachary, could you be overthinking?Sometimes, t re’pyealtfano'née tothink bitch. Just go after her ifyou still love her, and talk things out ifthere's something you're unhappywith." Please read the original contentat NovelDrama.Org.

"Then, investigate it." Grace said, "|think there must be a lot of reasonsbehind her departure Bae them\t1

"Yeah, why would she give birth to Maria?" Zachary muttered softly, as if he was asking Grace, but it was also as if he wasasking himself.
