Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 3093

After that incident with Celine and Hunter, Belinda seemed to have aged more than a decade overnight.

In the past, she took great care of herself and looked like she was only in her fifties.

Now, she looked like an old lady in her eighties.

Caroline stayed silent.

It was not appropriate for her to comment on her parents’ marriage.

“Your dad was even harping on about how I had feelings for someone else, but I never cheated and that was all in the past. Who doesn’t have a past? Before he married me, he had an endless stream of women by his side. Doesn’t he have a past too?

“I never held it against him even after we got married, but he had the gall to use the fact that I had feelings for someone else as an excuse.”

Caroline’s eyes sparkled. “Mom, that person you loved must have been someone outstanding, wasn’t he?”

“Very. He was a hundred times better than your dad. He’s the old friend I’m going on a trip to see in two days.

“We haven’t seen each other in decades. I wonder if he still remembers me.

“He might not remember me anymore, or he might recall after I’ve turned to ashes.”

When it came to love, Patrick definitely would not remember Belinda as he only had eyes for Tiara.

When it came to holding grudges and hatred, however, he would definitely remember her even after she turned to ashes.

Belinda felt that he was still alive and well because his hatred for her kept him going.

There was a knock on the door.

“Madam, Mrs. Clark has returned.”

Elaine told Belinda that Emma was back.

Emma hummed in acknowledgment and was taking a step forward to head in when she paused and stopped Caroline who was about to leave. She whispered, “Caroline, what does Mom want with me?”

There was not a single person in Fisher Manor who was not afraid of Belinda.

Emma was not an exception.

Although Belinda treated her daughters-in-law alright and was not a terrible mother-in-law, she was the powerful head of the family. Emma seldom dared to even breathe too heavily before her.

Emma felt anxious at being called into the study without warning and without knowing what Belinda wanted from her.

After coming back from dropping her kid off at school and hearing from Elaine that Belinda was looking for her, Emma recalled everything she had done in the past few days to make sure she had not done anything to cross the line.

That did not stop her from feeling anxious.

Caroline whispered in reply, “I don’t know either. Mom seems very angry. There are lots of photos scattered on the floor. I wanted to look, but Mom didn’t let me. She said it would taint my eyes. Emma, you take a look and tell me what it is later.”
