Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 1059

Conrad simply rolled his eyes and looked at the elevator wall.

The elevator door closed, stopping Esme outside.

…

“What are you up to so late at night, Britney?” When Mrs. Thomas heard the sound of the car outside, she quickly greeted Esme.

Esme got out of the car and could feel Mrs. Thomas’s genuine care for her.

Beth was very strict with her when she was with the Mannings. She would scold her most of the time and rarely consoled her.

When she saw how Mrs. Thomas genuinely cared for her, she had mixed feelings about it.

“It’s quite late. Why aren’t you asleep?”

Mrs. Thomas held Esme’s hand and said, “Your big day is tomorrow. The wedding is so rushed but you’re still not at home… I’m not feeling good about all of this.”

Esme’s eyes turned red. “You’re a good mother.”

Mrs. Thomas led her back home and asked, “You’ve changed a lot since you returned. Are you becoming distant from me after not being at home for so long? Is it because you’re not used to it so you can’t get close to me like when you’re little?”

“No,” Esme said. “It’s just that I’m older now. After experiencing so much, I can’t stick so close to you like when I was little anymore.”

Mrs. Thomas sighed. “If I had known that you and your sister would be so independent, I would have accompanied both of you more when you were little.”

“When we’re little, why were you always so busy?” Esme asked carefully.

Mrs. Thomas sighed again. “That’s because your dad is very ambitious and he couldn’t manage it alone. I have no choice but to help him!”

There was a hint of disdain in Esme’s eyes. She had felt his ambitiousness after staying here for just a little while.

It was quite pitiful to marry someone who was so ambitious but didn’t have any abilities.

“And look at how things are now. Your dad isn’t happy with me, so I don’t have to help him anymore. But you and your sister no longer need me,” Mrs. Thomas said, sadly.

Something stirred in Esme’s heart. “What do you mean I don’t need you? Once I have children, you’ll need to help me take care of them.”
