Suddenly, Xara said.
“Gerald, I’m so repulsive now. Do you think that I’ll frighten Queta if I go there unannounced to meet her? Besides, I’ve never been by her side after so many years. I’ve even abandoned her. Will she hate me? Will she hate seeing such an extremely ugly mother?”
Xara’s fear was evident in her voice.
“She’ll definitely refuse to recognize me as her mother since I’m such a cruel and ugly woman!
“Besides, it’s way too sudden. Will Queta be able to accept it?”
Xara touched her face as she spoke.
Gerald scratched his head. “If I tell Queta that you’re her mother, she’ll definitely be very excited. I guess you just don’t know her that well but, she’s a very kind young lady!”
“That won’t do. Gerald, how about this? Just make some arrangements for me to go and be a nanny for Queta. I know that there’s a chance that she’ll despise me as her nanny, but I just want to do something for Queta! I’m willing to do anything for her! Anything!”
Xara said.
“Alright, I’ll make the necessary arrangements then. We’ll only tell Queta the truth if the chance presents itself in the future.”
This was the most he could do, for now at least.
Jasmine had already left with Mindy. Marven and the others were waiting with the car outside for Gerald to return.
Gerald did not ask them to stay behind in the house, so they did not dare to do so.
It would indeed be inconvenient if Xara tagged along with them. Hence, he asked Stella to leave with Marven and the rest of the group first.
After that, Gerald got another car and brought Xara to the villa where he was currently staying.
“Let’s go, Auntie Fenderson. It’s right here!”
When they reached the door of the villa, Gerald smiled bitterly when he saw Xara standing there, completely frozen.
“Oh, right!”
The door was opened.
“Queta! Queta?”
Gerald shouted twice.
