Fall in Love with A Soldier novel Chapter 10

Home should be the warmest place.

But for Elizabeth, her home was really cold.

Seeing Elizabeth dragging her suitcase back from LH City, Elizabeth's mother, Maisie, not only didn't care about her, but sneered, "Just your shit diploma! Want to survive in the big city? You wish!"

"Mom, I haven't graduated yet. I don't have the diploma, so it's hard to find a job!" Elizabeth retorted.

Maisie still looked contemptuous, "I think you should stop studying in your sophomore year. Anyway, it would be a waste of money. What if you get a diploma? It's just a college diploma. Which companies in the big city will recruit you?"

Maisie's words were thorny, which really hurt Elizabeth. She didn't want to talk to her mother anymore, so she just went upstairs with her suitcase.

She knew that she shouldn't have come back!

"What’s your attitude? You are not as good as Winnie Rees! Also, don't expect me and your dad to pay you tuition again!"

Maisie yelled at Elizabeth.

Who was Winnie Rees? She was Elizabeth's cousin, and she was from a rich family. Maisie loved her very much. Even Elizabeth had an illusion that Maisie was Winnie’s biological mother, but she, Elizabeth, was just adopted by Maisie.

Elizabeth closed the door heavily, shedding tears in grievance. She was not even in the mood to go out for dinner.

Outside the door, she could still hear Maisie nagging with her father, Martin, "Elizabeth, this stinky girl is really useless! You see how wonderful Winnie is. She went to a first-class undergraduate university abroad, and gets the scholarship every semester! She is beautiful and decent! Elizabeth, this stinky girl is much worse than Winnie!"

"Elizabeth can get a first-class scholarship every semester! So, honey, just stop yelling at our daughter. Winnie is your sister’s daughter. Your sister married better than you, and the conditions in her family are better than our family, so how can the two children be compared?" Elizabeth’s father was a little impatient.

However, Maisie still continued, "Why can't they be compared? Can Elizabeth's scholarship from a third-rate university compare with the scholarship of Winnie's first-rate university? Tell me, the two were born in the same year, in the same month, on the same day and even at the same time. But why is there such a big difference between them?"

But it was normal. Anyway, Elizabeth was not...

"Honey, actually Elizabeth is not..."

Martin stopped talking and interrupted Maisie's inner thoughts.

Maisie was startled sensitively. Did Martin also know that matter about Elizabeth?

Martin immediately changed the topic and said with emotion, "Elizabeth did not have a bad grade, but in order to take care of me in the college entrance examination year and to make the medical expenses for me, she had to work part-time. Also, she spent her study time on going to the hospital to take care of me. Then she failed in that exam!"

Maisie suddenly felt that she was a false alarm, and then replied disapprovingly, "Taking care of you is what she should do! Otherwise, I have really raised her for 18 years in vain!"
