Chapter 216

Sienna’s eyes narrowed with instant recognition. “Oh, so this is Bitch Celeste’s beloved sister figure. What a self righteous

hypocrite!

Because Celeste resembled Linda’s dead sister, Linda had transferred all her protective instincts onto this stranger, willing to overlook every moral failing, every manipulative act, every cruel choice. She stood on her self-constructed moral high ground, applying completely different standards depending on who committed the offense. What else could you call that except self- righteous hypocrisy?

Linda’s face flushed with fury, her hands clenching into fists. “Watch your fucking mouth! You think being pregnant gives you

Chapter 216

“Well, can you blame me? I’m your mother-I know your personality better than anyone. You ve loved Daemon for so many was terrified you might not be able to let go.”

I settled onto the couch beside her, looping my arm through hers. “If I couldn’t let go, would I have rejected him? Would,1 have moved all the way to Silver Ridge? Mom, they’re the ones who keep finding ways to create drama in my life.

My mother patted my hand gently. “I know, sweetheart. Her voice softened, taking on a note of profound regret. I just. I keep thinking about that baby. If you had told us earlier, maybe we could have protected her.”

The familiar ache bloomed in my chest. “Mom, if you and Dad had known I was pregnant, would you really not have objected?”

“Of course we would have objected,” she admitted. “But if you had insisted, what could we have done? We would have supported your choice eventually.” She released a long sigh. “Your father and I want grandchildren, Violet. All my friends are already grandmothers or plan to be soon…”

I had been maintaining my smile throughout this conversation, but as my mother spoke about grandchildren and missed opportunities, I felt my control beginning to crack. Tears gathered at the corners of my eyes and began sliding down my cheeks, the physical manifestation of a grief I tried so hard to keep contained.

I didn’t know if my parents would ever get to be grandparents. The medical reality was brutal-my chances of another pregnancy were astronomically low.

Noticing my tears, my mother immediately grabbed tissues and began dabbing at my face. “Oh, honey, don’t cry. We dont blame you. Maybe… maybe the baby knew she wouldn’t have a complete family, so she decided to wait. She’ll come back when the time is

right.”

The comforting fiction of my mother’s words cracked something open inside me. I cried harder, my body shaking with sobs I could no longer suppress, all the grief and guilt and rage pouring out in an unstoppable flood.
