President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 572

Max sent Laura back to her apartment and left without lingering.

Laura had a sound sleep that night.

Since she had fulfilled her childhood dream of spending the whole afternoon in an amusement park, she dreamed of her childhood that night.

At that time, the Davies family just moved away from Eqitin, and her father was still alive. They were living a happy life.

On one occasion, Laura heard from her classmate that her father had taken her to the amusement park to ride on a merry-go-round, and Laura was green with envy.

When she went home, she badgered her father into taking her to the amusement park.

After the Davies family left Eqitin, they went to a city in the south and started a small business.

Since he was just getting started, her father was busy almost 24/7 all year around and had little free time.

However, he still agreed to make his daughter happy.

He also promised that he would take her to travel abroad if she got full marks in the final exam.

Overjoyed, Laura worked very hard every day.

She was over the moon at the thought that her father would take her mother and her to travel abroad and that the family was happy together.

However, something unexpected happened.

Laura never expected her father to die in a car accident on the day of her exam.

She would never forget the scene where she stood in the doorway of her house with her school report with full marks in her hands.

Now the sweet home no longer existed, to be replaced by her mother wailing, neighbors who were helping or looking on, and the icy and mangled body of her father’s.

Laura didn't remember what exactly she went through back then.

Her memory of that period of time was vague.

All she could remember was that her tears and the rain mixed together, clouding her eyes.

What she could remember was how she and her mother struggled to survive.

The perpetrator of the car accident did pay fair compensation, but it was used to make up for the business losses caused by her father’s death.

Fannie had been a housewife and lived an easy life since she got married.

Now that the backbone of the family was gone, she had to support her family and afford the education fees for Laura, who was only ten at that time, so she had no choice but to look for a job.

However, it was difficult for a woman, who hadn’t worked for a dozen years, to get a job at once.

Fannie was well-educated, but it had been too long since she had left the workplace, and now she was good at being a good housewife, instead of dealing with all kinds of papers or report forms.

Therefore, she actually ended up being a nanny or sometimes a housekeeper.

Laura remembered very well her mother had aged badly during those days.

A woman, who had used to be stunning, aged gracelessly overnight in hardship

But Fannie made no complaint.

No matter how hard life was, she went back home late at night with candies, or new clothes of the current season.

She always took Laura in her arms in bed, coaxing her gently.

She would say, "My baby, be a good girl. I’m working hard but it’s all right. I’d do anything to make you happy."

Laura didn't understand why Fannie would stick to such a job at that time. As a little girl, she knew little about this world.
