Chapter 40 Making Lulu Cry on Purpose
Mara’s eyes were red as she looked at Lulu who ran over to her.
She went to the Murray family again today to beg Alana to let her meet Lulu, not realizing that the whole Murray family was away on a camping trip.
Mara remembered that when Susie was not here yet, the Murray family was missing, but now the whole family was reunited and came to camp together.
If they had been like this before, would she and David be getting colder and colder, to the point where they were now?
“Mom.” Lulu’s voice brought Mara back to her senses.
She hurriedly held out her hand, “Baby.”
Lulu grew up following Mara, so she was still happy to jump into her
arms.
Mara’s eyes were red. Her poor child, who hadn’t seen her mother for two days, must miss her a lot, right?
“Has Lulu eaten well and slept well in the past two days?” Mara asked.
Lulu thought about it and shook her head.
“Grandparents said to eat well at mealtime and not to eat afterward.”
Mara couldn’t believe it, “Even if you’re hungry, you don’t give food?”
Lulu shook her head.
If she lost her temper at mealtime and didn’t eat, she would be hungry.
So, she later learned to eat well.
Mara was even more heartbroken and couldn’t help but complain.
“Your grandmother should not have done that to a child. You’re so young. You’re still growing. How can they do that?”
“It’s normal to not want to eat at mealtime, so you can eat afterward. This is too cruel.”
“Lulu, let’s go, mommy will take you back to grandma’s house.”
Mara was heartbroken and angry that she was only gone for two days and they were abusing Lulu like this.
She didn’t expect Lulu, who used to be so clingy to her mother, to refuse to leave now.
Lulu looked back hesitantly and shook her head, “Mom, I’m not going. I want to play here.”
Mara’s face got ugly all of a sudden.
She couldn’t figure out how Lulu wouldn’t leave after they had done this to her.
Mara took a deep breath and pretended to be pitiful as she gulped, “Doesn’t Lulu want mommy anymore?”
This was extremely damaging to the vast majority of children.
Lulu shook her head immediately, “No.”
Mara said, “That’s it. Mommy will take you to the amusement park.”
Lulu gambled, “I don’t want it.” She just wanted to play here. Why didn’t her mother let her choose the way she wanted every time?
Mara advised, “Lulu, be good. Mommy will bring you back here in a
couple of days to play. Now let’s go back first.”
She saw that David and the others were already approaching and her heart was anxious.
Lulu, who had only been well for two days, cried out again, “I don’t want to. I don’t want to. I want to play here.”
David said coldly, “Mara, have you made enough noise?
She refused to sign the divorce agreement and to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
David had to file for divorce and the court was now going through the
process.
A contested divorce could take up to three months to conclude at the earliest.
Mara saw that she was discovered and simply stopped hiding.
“What’s wrong with me? As the mother of a child, can’t I come and see the child?”
Mara takes Lulu’s hand, “Lulu, go. Don’t you want to play here? Then, I will accompany you.”
Lulu tried to break free but couldn’t, crying, “I don’t want to play with mommy. I want to play with Susie.”
Annoyed at heart, Mara pulled Lulu towards the lake on her own.
Play with what Susie? A child with a heart like Susie would only lead Lulu astray.
Lulu didn’t like her mom anymore after only two days of not seeing her. Susie must have encouraged her. In addition to Susie, the Murray family was definitely to blame for this.
They must have said a lot of bad things about Lulu in front of her.
“Lulu, remember, Susie is a bad child. She deliberately destroys the relationship between mommy and daddy, so you do not play with her. Understand?”
