“Cry, cry, cry. All you do is cry. Are you in mourning or something?” “You jinxes! You’re just like your dead mother!!
bet you came here specially to jinx us!” “You b*stards don’t deserve to eat. Don’t you dare eat any of the food in this house!” All sorts of curses and abuse constantly rang out in the magnificent and luxurious villa.
The Reinharts even went so far as to kick Tessa and her younger brother out of the house in the middle of winter. No matter how they had begged and pleaded, the Reinharts remained indifferent to their plight, though.
These memories represented the past that would haunt Tessa for the rest of her life.
There was once when Timothy was ill. At the time, she had knelt outside the gates of the Reinhart Residence and begged them to save his life. However, she almost paid for her. naivety with her life.
Even though several years had passed since then, even though the Reinhart Family no longer existed, the resentment still remained in her heart. This was especially so for her resentment toward Amber.
The misfortune and poor treatment that she, her brother, and their mother suffered were all caused by Amber.
If Amber had not helped with Lauren’s malicious scheming back then, Tessa’s mother would not have suffered from such a disease. Amber had even gone to great lengths just to prevent Tessa’s mother from receiving any treatment when her condition worsened toward the end.
If not for that old hag, my mother would not have died so soon! However… The old lady is reaching the end of her lifespan… She probably does not have long to live. So, why should I continue to bear a grudge toward her? Not to mention, she has already been punished for her past mistakes.
A deep and pleasant voice entered her ears just as Tessa was coming to terms with her emotions.
“Since these words are a blessing from Old Mrs. Reinhart, we should gratefully accept them. ‘Peace and joy’, these words suit Gordon very well indeed.” Nicholas looked straight at her and gently decided on her behalf with a tender look in his eyes.
Although she rarely talked about the Reinhart Family throughout their relationship, he knew that she had not stopped caring for the Reinharts. There remained a glimmer of hope in the corner of her heart that they might change. Unfortunately, they had continued to disappoint her over and over again.
She did not realize that he had already seen through the thoughts in her heart.
