Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 530

Chapter 530 Meeting Janette

“I don’t want to talk about this now. You should know that there’s no way I can let go of the past so easily. Perhaps time might wash out my memory of getting abandoned by you. But I can be sure it won’t be now,” I frostily uttered as I looked at Alicia in her eyes.

The truth was, I had been trying my best to forgive her, but every time I did that, scenes of me getting abandoned by her would surface in my mind. Even I myself felt frustrated for being so petty-minded and unforgiving.

“I know you resent me deep down, so I won’t ask for your forgiveness either. All I want is for you to not behave so cold toward me. Watching my biological daughter do this to me pains my heart.”

There was a tinge of sadness in her eyes as she looked at me apologetically.

“I got it. I’ll watch myself in the future.”

I had a feeling I was losing my resistance at the sight of her tears. Whenever I saw her sobbing, I would feel an inexplicable weight in my chest.

“Okay. Then I shall head home first, Anna. Janette’s very unstable right now. I’m worried something might happen to her, so I can’t stay here for long.” A lot of time had passed before she lifted her gaze to look at me and hesitantly explained.

“I got it. You can go now,” I responded coolly, barely conveying any emotions.

Josephine only walked out of the kitchen after Alicia’s departure. She brought me a sandwich and looked at me amicably.

“Now’s not the time for dinner yet. The housekeeper is afraid you’ll be too hungry, so she prepared you a sandwich. Have some first.”

“Thank you, Mom.”

A smile crept onto my face at the sight of her gentle gaze.

“Anna, have you not buried the hatchet with your mom? I felt so anxious for you when I saw how awkward you were around her.” Josephine sat beside me and looked into my eyes as she calmly remarked.

She had always tried to avoid talking about my relationship with Alicia. Therefore, I was taken aback at how she took the initiative to ask me about this matter on that day.

“To be honest, I have no idea how to get along with her. I still haven’t gotten to know her for long enough. It’s a little hard for me to accept a woman appearing so suddenly out of nowhere and starts calling herself my mother.”

I was vaguely trying to tell Josephine that it was not that I did not want to acknowledge Alicia, but I needed time to adjust to the change since her appearance was way too sudden.

“Mrs. Campbell told me a lot when we were chatting earlier. She said she misses you a lot and how she has spent a long time trying to find you. As a mother, I can tell she loves you wholeheartedly. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have persisted in searching for you throughout the years.” Josephine sounded earnest as she spoke.

I almost thought she was acting as a mediator for speaking up on Alicia’s behalf.

Upon learning from Josephine how she had been looking for me all these years, I somehow felt touched. That had unequivocally made the affection I had toward her a little deeper.

However, I did not know how to express my feelings. Neither did I know what I could do to make things less awkward and distant between us.

“Thanks for telling me this, Mom.”
