The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1176

Claire thought that if her own parents were around, they would have loved her deeply too.

Neither of them could answer Lex Grant's question.

Yet, they weren't the only parents in the world who didn't love their daughter.

Keeping her eyes on the road, Claire answered, "Because we can't choose our parents, and there's no licensing exam to become one."

"So, the unqualified ones can't be weeded out."

"When you get married, will you love your daughter?"

Even in her drunken state, Lex heard the question clearly. "I would love her with my life. I'd give her everything, and I wouldn't have another kid."

Having a second child didn't necessarily affect a parent's love for their firstborn.

But showering one child with exclusive devotion was hard, and showing favoritism was unfair to the other.

For someone like Lex, having only one child was indeed the best choice.

It would be a chance to raise herself all over again.

Claire believed she would do an amazing job.

The topic was too heavy, hardly suitable for their current situation.

But Lex continued to mumble.

She confessed that she had sent two thousand dollars from her part-time jobs back home, but instead of going to the hospital for treatment, her mother had spent it all on her brother's tutoring.

A neighbor had secretly called to tell her the truth.

Before, Lex hadn't thought much of it, but now, a deep resentment for her parents had taken root.

She used to think her mother was simply oppressed by the family dynamic, which was why she couldn't offer her more.

Looking back, her mother had silently endorsed the way her father and brother exploited her.

Otherwise, why hadn't she ever fought for her daughter's well-being?

In fact, after enduring years of hardship for not having a son sooner, her mother actually resented Lex even more.

Seeing the Zellers' elaborate preparations for Zara Zeller's birthday today had finally made Lex realize that her parents truly didn't love her.

When she was a child, she never had a single birthday celebration.

Meanwhile, her brother's birthdays were always filled with lavish gifts, special meals, and a little cake.

Did she not deserve it?
