The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2473

Although Helen had moments of regret, she knew she could not live her life holding on to the past forever.

"If you really cared about me, why didn't you just strangle your biological daughter back then?" Wendy's expression changed suddenly as if she were a demon crawling out of hell. She grabbed Helen's shoulders and shook her vigorously. "Huh? Why didn't you strangle her? If you hadn't given birth to her in the first place, there wouldn't be a Melody tormenting me now. Do you have any idea how much pain I'm in? Everything I had has been ruined by your daughter!"

Helen screamed, "Wendy, what's gotten into you?!"

The reason she had not aborted Melody was because she thought Melody was a boy. If she had a son, she would have had a firm foothold in the Sanders family. It was just a pity that things did not go as planned.

"Your despicable daughter is constantly fighting with me over things. I hate you. I'll never accept someone as rotten as you as my mom."

Helen stood still, her struggling movements halted. She felt aggrieved at all the accusations Wendy was hurling at her. She had not imagined that all her years of effort would be in vain. The shock was so much that she could not react for a while.

'Is Wendy hating me or Melody?' she wondered.

At that moment, Ethan, who was slowly walking back home, also saw them. He rushed over to pry Wendy's hand off.

"Wendy, what are you doing? She's your mom!"

Wendy's eyes were so red they seemed like they could drip blood. "You're all crazy! She's not my mom. You forced me to call her mom, but her daughter took everything from me! Ah—"

"Dad, what should I do? Everything I had is ruined, I have nothing left! Melody has ruined me!"

Ethan was naturally heartbroken to see his precious daughter like this. He did not even notice that Helen was lying on the couch looking strangely out of it.

Helen had never imagined that her life would turn out so pathetic. After marrying Ethan and enjoying a period of good times in their marriage, all the problems began after Melody was born. They had hoped for a boy, someone who could get along well with Wendy, but unexpectedly, another daughter arrived.

Since then, Helen felt that her mother-in-law never looked at her with favor. Every time she went to her in-laws' house, she felt nitpicked and criticized. Helen believed that all of this was brought about by Melody, so she could not help but feel particularly resentful toward her.
