When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1595

Audrey was finally free, but she huffed in frustration, “You’re mean, Mommy! I called you earlier, but you ignored me and let me get bullied!”

Oh? Is she mad at me?

I glanced toward Shaun as I was being falsely accused.

However, the boy’s eyes widened as he said seriously, “It’s true, Mrs. Fuller. We saw you earlier, but you ignored us. You left your wallet and Audrey before leaving.”

“Were you guys seeing things?” I was really telling the truth because I had been brought away since I arrived. I never even had the chance to go anywhere else.

Still, Shaun insisted, “No, Mrs. Fuller! That person looked exactly like you.”

There was a possibility if Audrey had seen it wrong since she was quite a careless person. But if Shaun was insistent on it, it had to mean that the woman really did look like me.

Even so, it didn’t mean that it was right for them to sneak out.

“Audrey, I’m only going to say this once, okay? The woman you guys saw earlier looked like me, but it wasn’t me. I would never leave my kids behind and ignore them. Don’t you trust me?” I pretended to be angry.

Children should know that being outside was different from being at home. It wasn’t somewhere they should mess around as they please. Besides, as a mother, I should not be condoning their actions.

Having heard what I said, Audrey frowned, but her anger vanished a while later. She looked aggrieved and guilty as she asked, “Was she really not you?”

I shook my head to assure her. Emery then chimed in, “Your mom was with Summer and me the whole time. We never left this place.”

Hearing that, the girl let out a deep sigh and dropped her head. “Okay. I’m sorry, Mommy. I shouldn’t have raised my voice at you.”

“Yes, you were wrong,” I said, my voice sterner than before. “But your mistake isn’t mistaking someone else for me. It’s that you sneaked out without telling any of us adults. Think about it. What would you do if Summer and I weren’t here?”

Audrey fidgeted with her fingers and took a sideways glance at the security. Then, her head seemed to have drooped lower as she said, “I’d be treated like a naughty kid and be brought away by the police.”
