Charming Mommy of adorable triplets novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138

Maisie paused, her eyes looking down.

“Why did you suddenly decide to tell me now?”

Stephen never wanted to talk about her mother, and Maisie always thought that he had forgotten about her. She would feel sad whenever she saw Willow and Leila.

Stephen saw the dismay in her eyes, and his heart was heavy. “I didn’t talk about it because I didn’t want to get into it.”

“I always wanted to know, did you really hate my mother that much?”

She had given him a daughter but wasn’t better than Leila?

Stephen gnashed his teeth. “You don’t know what happened between your mother and me, and you think that I hate her?”

Maisie looked away without saying a word.

“Zee, you probably didn’t know that when your mother married me, she came to me. We didn’t get married for love at first.”

Not for love?

Maisie was stumped with surprise.

Stephen looked sad. “I was young and ambitious, wanting to build a career in Bassburgh after leaving Coralia. But I kept getting stonewalled until I met your mother.

“Your mother suddenly said something that shocked me. She said we should get married, and she would help me build my empire in Bassburgh. All I needed to do was give her a place to settle down.”
