Scarlett's POV:
The moment finally came.
I was able to see my kids and hold them after being separated from them for a painfully long time.
I lovingly kissed Jerry and Jason's adorable faces.
"I don't care if you are Scarlett or Caroline. Since you don't want to leave the kids, why don't you come back with us? Charles misses you a lot, and he understands that he's wronged you. Please give him a second chance." Looking at Charles, who was standing next to her, Christine tried to persuade me.
Although I was determined to never go back to their family, I also did not want to hurt Christine, so I chose to stay silent at the moment.
Alice also stepped forward, looked at me with sad eyes, and asked, "What else are you dissatisfied about? Didn't our family treat you well in the past?"
"I heard that you took my brother's land away and made a new boyfriend. How dare you show up here?" Clearly, Chloe still hated me.
Not caring about their sarcasm, I put the twins back in the stroller and walked to Christine.
"Christine, are you better now?" "Don't worry. I've fully recovered from the surgery," Christine answered with a smile.
"That's good. I guess I should leave, then. I'll come and see you again next time."
Although it shattered my heart to leave my kids so soon, I knew that I had to do it, so I cast a final glance at them before I got ready to leave.
All of a sudden, I felt a small hand grabbing my sleeve. "Mommy, don't go. Are you going to leave me alone again? Don't you want to be with Jerry and Jason?"
I lowered my head and saw James pitifully grabbing my sleeve. When he saw that I did not answer him, he pouted and burst into tears like an abandoned kitten.
Although his grasp was not strong at all, I still could not move. It felt as though there were chains shackling my legs.
I really felt the rushing urge to hug my son and tell him how much I loved him. I wished that I could give the best the world offered to my sons. However, I knew that now was not the right time. Holding back the pain and sadness in my heart, I squatted down, caressed James' hair, and comforted him, "James, I will never leave you and your brothers behind. Please give me some time, and once I sort everything out, we can be together." Unable to control myself, I burst into tears.
But seeing me in such a miserable state, James stopped crying and looked at me with his big eyes.
"James, please trust me, okay?"
Tears were still streaming down my face when he loosened his grip on my arm.
"Okay, Mommy."
'What a sensible child!'
The more sensible the kids were, the more I felt like I owed them a lot.
I could not bear to look at him anymore, so I stood up.
I met Charles' gaze as soon as I stood up, the deep sadness in his eyes making me want to almost drown in them.
I awkwardly lowered my head to avoid looking into his eyes.
"Are you going to run away from me again?" he asked me in a hoarse and painful voice.
And I did not know how to answer his question. "Miss Wilson, it's time for you to go to the company. We have a lot of things to deal with." Elena came forward, fortunately rescuing me in time.
"Mr. Moore, I have something important to deal with at the company, so I should go."
Saying that, I turned around and ran away, without looking back.
I was worried that if I stayed there for another moment, I would never be able to leave. My kids ' innocent faces were enough to trap me there forever.
I quickly got in the car and watched my kids disappear into the distance.
"Caroline, just cry your heart out if you want to," Elena comforted me.
My heart was already cracked, and I could not pretend to be okay anymore, so I burst into tears.
All the sadness that was weighing on my heart seemed to slowly dissipate after a long time, and I felt better after crying.
When I came back to my senses, I felt my eyes burning, and figured that they must be red and swollen.
