After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 503

Chapter 503 Sulky Face

“I’m sorry about what happened to you years ago. You’re right to blame me, but no matter what, I’m still your mother. I’m really upset with the way you are talking to me now.”

Alicia looked at me in agony, guilt, and indignance. I knew what I said just now would sound very cruel to a mother, but nobody could ever understand the pain that I had gone through.

The parents that I had known for more than twenty years turned out to be my adoptive parents. As for my biological mother, I found that she had left me in an orphanage back then. Nobody in my position would be able to dismiss this fact just like that.

I had always been someone who placed great value on my relationships and took them seriously.

Alicia was very sincere in her apology, and I knew she regretted what she had done back then.

Even so, I could not bring myself to forgive her. The thought of me being abandoned when I was a child broke my heart.

Since I was young, I had always felt like I was an outsider. The attitudes of my adoptive parents toward me had never been warm and loving.

Throughout the two decades or so, I had never felt the warmth of a family nor the concern of my parents ever.

Alicia’s tender care for me now touched me. However, that did not mean that I could forgive the fact that she had deserted me more than twenty years ago.

“I don’t wish to talk about this subject right now. If you don’t want me to hate you even more, then you should just leave. If not, I can make sure that you will never be able to find me again.”

Alicia might be upset, but my heart ached more than hers.

Outwardly, I appeared to be indifferent. Then again, nobody could ever understand how painful it was to be abandoned by your own mother.

“Anna, please don’t be like this. It hasn’t been easy for me to locate you. What am I supposed to do if you refuse to see me in the future? I know you don’t want to see me. I’ll leave now.”

My threat seemed to work. Alicia became worried. After taking one last glance at me sadly, she turned and left.

Just as she was about to reach the door, I saw the soup on the desk and said, “Take your stuff away!”

At that moment, I did not want to accept any of her things. She was kind to me only because she wanted me to acknowledge her.

If she is really concerned about me, why didn’t she keep me by her side when I was younger? Why didn’t she make soup for me back then?

Honestly, I felt that everything she did now was pointless. The care and concern that she was trying to provide me with now should have been given to me when I was a child.

There was a pain in Alicia’s eyes as she looked at me, but she said nothing. Then, she took the thermal food jar with trembling hands.

At that instant, I almost lost it. I turned around, so she would not be able to see the tears in my eyes.

After Alicia left, I could no longer control my emotions. The moment the door closed, my tears came flowing down.
