Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Delkate and Helpdes 

Deborah was taken aback, not expecting Alyssa to sunkenly ask her such a question 

To be honest, she dishy’t really have much of a feeling towards this little celebrity in front of het. 

She has never been much of a fan of celebrities, nor does she pay much attention to entertainment news. 

Ever since she lost het memory three years ago, her life in these past three years has revolved almost entirely around work and Joseph. 

The seemingly aloot young girl beside her was now tilting her head, gazing at her with wide-eyed curiosity. 

Quite persistent, not giving up until getting an answer 

Deborah responded politely with a vague smile, “At such a young age, you’re already a little star who can play the piano and sing. Anyone who meets you would surely like you” 

Alyssa still looked at her and asked, “Does that include anyone, even you, miss?” 

Deborah looked a bit embarrassed and nodded, “Of course.” 

She was a bit worried, wondering if the child would ask her next about what shows she had watched about her. 

Deborah had only caught a glimpse of Alyssa betore on Mona’s phone. 

I really can’t say I know much about it. 

However, Alyssa didn’t ask any further questions She politely said “Thank you” and didn’t say much else. 

Deborah secretly breathed a sigh of reliet, yet telt a bit puzzled. 

Perhaps it was the child’s strong, aura that made her feel so nervous all of a sudden, just because of a kid. 

I’m not quite sure what’s going on inside, but I’m feeling a bit uneasy. 

On the way to Oceanview City, Deborah couldn’t help but glance over at Alyssa several times, feeling a bit puzzled. 

On two occasions, Deborah’s gaze met Alyssa’s. Feeling embarrassed, she immediately averted her eyes, wondering if the child would think she was a bad person. 

She tried her best to hold back, not looking again, but her mind was filled with the image of the child beside her. 

Alyssa was overjoyed inside, and her smile never left her face the entire way. 

Over the years, she followed Adrian, becoming a child star, singing and playing the piano. 

Adrian himself is a top-tier, popular actor with countless connections and resources at his disposal. Coupled with Alyssa’s own talent, these past three years have seen her fame skyrocket to incredible heights. 

In the past, Alyssa never showed her face and always wore a veil when appearing on a show. 

Adrian explained to others that it was because Alyssa was still studying and he didn’t want her celebrity status to affect her education. 

Despite that, no one had ever seen her true face, yet the name “Alyssa” was still extremely well-known. 

Rumors are spreading like wildfire on the internet, claiming that Alyssa is Adrian’s illegitimate daughter. 

In just about a month, Alyssa received the news that Deborah was still alive, and for the first time, she showed her true lace in public. 

In the past three years, she has received countless awards and praises. 

But when it comes down to it, all of those things combined still don’t compare to the feeling she gets now when Deborah praises her, saying “I like her.” 

Alyssa thought about it, and couldn’t help but let her eyes turn red. 

Three years ago, she spent every day with her mother. 

And now, her mother sat right beside her, but she no longer recognized her. 

She didn’t want to tell the truth either, because the real memories would only bring pain to Deborah, and might even 

lead to even worse consequences. 

As for her daughter Alyssa, if she were to reconnect with Deborah, it’s not certain that she wouldn’t become a hindrance and burden to Deborah once again, just like she did three years ago. 

What matters most is for Mom to live happily and carefree like she is now. 

Alyssa lowered her head, pretending to be engrossed in the tablet she was holding, and didn’t glance over at Deborah again. 

Somehow, Deborah telt extremely uncomfortable deep down. That sudden feeling of unease weighed on her, making it somewhat difficult for her to breathe. 

Ashton occasionally glanced back, but Deborah leaned into her own seat, blocking his view, and he couldn’t see anything. 

He glanced back several times, and Steven joked beside him, “I heard that Mr. Mullen has already agreed to divorce Ms. Shepherd. What’s going on now?” 

Ashton truly felt wronged. In a situation like this, anyone would think that he did it on purpose. 

But he had already agreed to the divorce, and the paperwork was completed. He just wanted to let go, at least leaving. Deborah with a slightly good impression in the end. 

The paperwork had just been completed, so there was no way he would be so eager to bother Deborah again. 

He explained with a slight headache, “I was called for a last-minute meeting about a collaboration this morning and missed my flight. The other party felt bad and insisted on booking another ticket for me. It was indeed at 

misunderstanding.” 

Steven nodded, “Ah, I see.” 

Though they verbally acknowledged understanding, the disbelief was written all over their face, impossible to hide. 

Ashton struggled to articulate his thoughts. The idea that Chandler had deliberately engaged him in a work conversation to stall for time and manipulate him was infuriating. 

He was thinking to himself, Next time, he must settle the score with Chandler. 

The plane landed in Oceanview City. When Steven went to the back to pick up Alyssa, he saw Deborah helping Alyssa with her backpack and holding her hand as they walked over. 

Steven was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Deborah and Alyssa to have become so close. 

Looking at Alyssa, she usually follows Adrian around with such pride, she’s already like a little grown-up. 

Now, with Deborah leading the way, it was as if she suddenly became a child who couldn’t walk steadily. 

Steven looked on, finding it amusing, yet suddenly feeling a tinge of sadness. 

This child hasn’t seen their mother for three years, and now that they finally have the chance to meet, they can’t even call out “Mommy.” 

It was even more impossible for her to throw herself into Deborah’s arms, acting spoiled and sharing the grievances and longing she had experienced over the past three years.
