After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500 Adopted From An Orphanage

“Where exactly did you hear this from? Who told you this?”

My mom did not answer my question. Her gaze turned utterly nervous.

I could see she was nervous in her heart.

“My biological mother came to see me. I have met her.”

I looked at my mom in her eyes and spoke calmly.

As soon as I finished my sentence, the glass in her hand dropped onto the floor. The water splashed all over the place.

“Did you say your biological mother came to find you? How is that possible?”

My mom stared at me in disbelief.

“It doesn’t matter what you think. That is the truth.”

My expression seemed utterly composed, but my heart was already dead.

From the moment Michael told me about this, I knew it was a fact that I could not change. Yet, when I looked at my mom, a deep sorrow rose within me.

“That’s not possible. When your dad and I adopted you back then, someone from the orphanage told us clearly that you belonged to no one. Now it has been over twenty years. How could your biological mother find you?”

My mom still did not seem to believe my words. She was overwhelmed with emotions.

As I heard she mentioned the orphanage, my heart fell with a thud. So I was adopted from an orphanage.

Alicia said that she separated from her child since the latter was still very young. It turned out that she dumped me at an orphanage

Initially, I thought she had good reasons for that. However, when I heard my mom mention it, it felt as though a knife had stabbed through my heart. The pain was too much for me to bear.

I had always thought that a mother would never abandon her child no matter what.

Yet, she abandoned me at an orphanage when I was small. I did not understand why she had come back to find me after twenty years. I feel very heartbroken about it, but I also felt that the whole thing was more like a joke.

“So I am not your child. No wonder you guys treated me so indifferently. Since you guys don’t love me, why did you adopt me back then?”

I could no longer suppress my emotion as tears rolled down my cheeks.

I did not understand why they did not try to love me like their own since they had decided to adopt me.

If you don’t love me, why did you adopt me?

My mom frowned tightly upon hearing my words. She walked toward the couch and sat down. A long while later, she finally opened her mouth.

“Your dad and I were married for years and did not have any child. We thought there was a problem with me, so we went to an orphanage and adopted you. We did not expect that I would get pregnant with your brother after that.”

Even though my mom sounded utterly calm when she spoke, I could somehow feel her regret.

I thought she regretted the part that she adopted me. If she had gotten pregnant earlier, she would not have adopted me.

Even though she merely explained it in two sentences, I felt like a thousand needles were stabbing through my heart.
