Only you in my love novel Chapter 394

Nina and Anne locked eyes, refusing to give in.

The room was so quiet that the only thing that filled it was the sea breeze. Anne donned a serious exterior, facing Nina's indifference. It was a stalemate.

"Nina, I've handled everything for you. Don't worry." Anne had always been strict as Nina's mother, and even the comforting words from her sounded stiff.

However, Nina could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force.

"You mean by announcing I'm dead? So you faked my death certificate, canceled my household registration and said that I'm dead." For the first time in Nina's life, she hated her mother.

Since Nina was a child, she hadn't experienced her mother's nurturing hand. She had been restricted by various rules and learned different skills. She had complained inwardly at first and eventually become numb to that.

But she couldn't accept what Anne did this time.

Everyone she met in Lexingport City brought her different experiences to treasure. She had her own home and friends. It was like she finally had flesh and blood.

"Nina, I did all this for your own good." Seeing the hatred in her daughter's eyes, Anne's heart shuddered and her voice softened.

When her daughter ran away from home, she was angry. She sent people to search for her to no avail. Anger swiftly dissipated and turned to worry.

A year later, it turned to regret.

Anne missed her daughter more than anything. In every spare moment, she would come to Nina's room and sit down. Her fingers would feel the coldness as she touched the lifeless objects in the room.

The whole room just felt cold.

But even Nina was here now, Anne still felt cold.

"Every mother hurts their child while saying they are doing it for their child's sake. It's common," Nina said bluntly.

He retort was seen as nothing short of rebellious in all honesty.

It was just because Nina had never defied her mother like this before.

In the past, Anne would have exploded in a white hot rage. What Nina wasn't expecting though was nothing but a subdued sigh from her mother.

"Your brother is right. You hate me for what I have done."

Hearing her mother's words, Nina remembered that she hadn't seen her brother since she woke up. If her brother knew that she had come back, he would've come to her.

"Where is Leon?"

"I arranged a study tour for him in another country."

"You did it?" A look of worry appeared on Nina's face. Since the incident with Valerie, her brother had been fond of studying abroad.

Anne didn't like Leon leaving C Island. Then why did she send him away to study abroad herself?

For this to happen, there must be some reason.

"What did he do wrong?" Nina felt that studying abroad was definitely going to be almost a punishment for him in a sense.

As she had expected, Leon and Wynn were living a hard life in a foreign country with little to no money.

Anne got angry at the mention of her son. "As a brother, he shouldn't have let you live a hard life outside C Island."

Anne was blaming Leon for covering for her. She was punishing him and letting him experience what Nina had experienced in the past two years.

To Nina, these years weren't a tough life to live, but rather a rebirth.

"It has nothing to do with Leon. I begged him to help me. Mom, please let him come back." Nina's voice softened.

Now Nina finally understood how her mother could find her. She must have extorted confessions out of her brother.

'Poor Leon...'

"There is no room for negotiation, Nina." Anne was determined to teach her son a lesson.

A light bulb went off in Nina's head. "Mom, I want to contact Leon."
