Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Loving Ashton for Many Years 

Alyssa was particularly excited, her little hand tightly holding onto Deborah’s hand. 

She knew that from now on, she and Deborah would never be apart again. 

Just like three years ago, she will spend day and night with Deborah. 

Her little face flushed with excitement. 

But soon, she realized that something was amiss. 

Deborah spoke to her softly and gently, with a smile on her face as she caressed her head. 

But within Deborah’s laughter, there was a profound sense of loss. 

It’s not because of her, Alyssa; it’s because of something else. 

Because she regained her memories, because she recalled those past experiences. 

That cruel Ashton, who she had foolishly and deeply loved for so many years. 

That unfamiliar Joseph, who once took advantage of me so much- 

The most painful part was that just as she thought of her mother, she realized that she had already passed away. 

Or perhaps it should be said, foster mother. 

Deborah is a child whose parents are unknown. 

Once upon a time, the only person I could trust and rely on was none other than Ashton. 

Her former husband. 

Deborah kept all her emotions bottled up inside. 

She picked up Alyssa, who had already grown into a little adult, and said with a smile on her face, “Once Mommy has taken her leave, I’ll spend all my time with you. Wherever you want to go and whatever you want to do, Morty will 

listen to you.” 

Every time she thought about her three years of forgetting Alyssa, her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife. 

Alyssa was held in her mother’s arms, her heart aching as she gently touched her mother’s face. “Mommy, let Alyssa 

stay with you and rest for a few days. Alyssa has grown up and doesn’t like to go out and play anymore.” 

She didn’t want Deborah to force herself to endure inner pain just to please her, accompanying her on various 

adventures. 

Her mother was tired and needed some peace and quiet to rest. 

Deborah’s eyes instantly filled with tears as she tightly hugged her, “Alyssa, how did I get such a wonderful child like you?” 

Alyssa leaned her face into her neck and couldn’t help but cry softly. 

Everyone says she has grown up, but over the past few years, she has actually missed Deborah a lot. 

Sometimes, I get scared at night. 

Afraid that Deborah might never remember herself again. 

She was also atraid that one day, the Moxley family might not want her anymore. 

Afraid that Adrian, who loves novelty and fun, would one day neglect her or even abandon her. 

No matter how dazzling and beautiful she is now, in the end, she’s still just a child. 

If she lost the protection of the Moxley family and couldn’t be recognized by Deborah, then she would be left with nothing and lose everything. 

Deborah took Alyssa to the hotel and called her company to request a week off. 

Adding her Christmas leave, she wouldn’t be going back to work until after New Year. 

Switching to another employee is not an option, as taking time off is definitely not feasible during the busy year-end 

period. 

Deborah and Joseph’s relationship has become public, and everyone at Jingron Design is aware of it. 

Of course, the director couldn’t treat her like an ordinary employee. As soon as he received her call, he approved her 

vacation without any further discussion. 

Deborah knew very well that this was considered taking a shortcut. 

But now, in order to accompany Alyssa, she couldn’t care less about these things. 

Moreover, her job is in design, and much of her work can be done from home. 

The design drawings that were needed years ago have almost all been submitted. 

After returning from their vacation, the mother and daughter sat side by side on the couch, chatting for a long time. 

Alyssa recounted her experiences from the past three years, including the time when she was first rescued by Adrian. 

It was when Adrian happened to hear her playing the piano and singing that he began to actively cultivate her talent. 

and provide her with resources. 

Over the past three years, she had shared with Deborah all the little moments and experiences she had with the Moxley family. Gradually, she had become a rising star, and she had told Deborah all about her journey. 

However, she couldn’t bear to see Deborah distressed, so she only chose to share the good things with her. 

As for the time right after the incident, and how long I lived in that hospital afterward, I can’t even begin to describe the hardships I endured. 

In order to perform on stage, she had put in so much effort, but she barely mentioned it, just casually brushing over the topic with a few light sentences. 

After hearing her speak, Deborah’s brows finally relaxed a bit, and the guilt in her heart eased slightly. 

It’s truly fortunate that Alyssa has been living well these past few years. 

After chatting for more than an hour, Deborah realized that the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window had already 

turned dark. 

Alyssa rested her head on Deborah’s lap, and her stomach let out a few grumbling noises. 

She felt a bit embarrassed as she touched her own belly. 

She had a performance in the morning, and due to the time crunch, she could only hurriedly eat a few bites of 

breakfast. 

After the performance, when planning to go for lunch, I received news that Deborah was going to undergo psychological therapy to recover her memory. 

She immediately rushed to the hospital, not even stopping to eat lunch. 

Now that her stomach growled, she realized she was so hungry that her chest felt like it was touching her back 

Deborah immediately scooped her up with a smile, “Mommy will take you out for dinner.” 

Alyssa gracefully got up from the couch, her eyes curiously pecking into the kitchen. 

It’s been quite a few years since she last tasted the dishes cooked by Deborah. 

The room Deborah booked was a suite on the top floor of the hotel. 

In addition to a bedroom, there is also a living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom. 

The price isn’t low either; it’s nearly five figures for one night.

Over the past three years, she had been with Joseph, and had grown accustomed to not looking at the prices for food, clothing, and daily necessities. 

Before, she would occasionally be thrifty, believing that people should learn to save some money. 

But when Joseph handed her the card, he playfully warned her that if she didn’t use it, someone else would. 

Mona brainwashed her too, saying that if you don’t spend your man’s money, there will always be other women who 

will. 

Moreover, she and Joseph were both orphans, without parents. 

Deborah doesn’t have a uterus, so it’s highly unlikely that she’ll have children. 

It can be said that no one needs their support. 

Deborah thought about it and realized that it made sense.
