However, she had left early in the morning, indulging in a beauty treatment, enjoying afternoon tea, and
attending a music concert.
When the butler called her, she responded coldly, "Why are you calling? I'm not a doctor. If she's sick,
just see a doctor."
Avery was in a foggy state of mind, dreaming about cake all the time.
She kept asking for the cream cake throughout the day until her fever reduced. Looking at the heavy
snowfall outside and the butler holding a bear-shaped cake, she smiled brightly.
"This must be made by my mom, right?"
"Yes."
Later, Avery found out that the cake was made by the chef, and her mother hadn't taken care of her or
even asked about her.
As time passed, Avery looked at the face in front of her, which overlapped with her memories.
To be honest, that cold face seemed somewhat harsh to her.
In order to see her mother smile, Avery heard from classmates that parents loved children who This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
excelled academically.
So, she worked harder than anyone else and became the top student in her class from childhood.
She always felt that if she just tried a little harder, maybe her mother would pay more attention to her.
Even if she occasionally fell to second place, she would tirelessly strive to climb back to first.
The persistence she displayed, she realized, was not pride in her mother's eyes but nothing.
Suddenly, Avery burst into laughter, a laughter that sent shivers down people's spines. Jacob furrowed
his brows, wanting to say something on her behalf.
Lily continued, "Avy, Layla is a good girl. She finally has her own family. Please, for Mom's sake, can
you let go of Jacob? Mom really doesn't want to see her upset anymore."
"Heh, it's the first time I've heard that a good girl would intervene in someone else's marriage. Mrs.
White, when you were feeling sorry for her, did you ever consider how I felt when she intruded into my
family?"
"I don't know about your past, so I can't comment on it. But since you're now divorced, you should draw
clear boundaries. You just turned 21 this year, and I can send you to study abroad. You have a wide
future ahead of you."
Lily reached out and touched Avery's face. "You're my daughter, and I sincerely hope you find
happiness too."
Avery reacted strongly, pushing her hand away. "Don't touch me!"
She was like a little hedgehog, standing all her spines on end.
If she had known all along what her mother, whom she missed over these years, was like, would she
still have yearned for all those years?
"Mrs. White, all you need to pursue in this life is your own happiness. As for me, you have never loved
me, so there's no need to pretend to feel guilty. It's truly disgusting."
"Avy, I am your mother, after all. How can you speak to me like this? Obviously, your father didn't teach
you well."
"Don't mention my dad. Anyone in this world can mention him except for you! Mrs. White, stop using
your so-called morality to manipulate me. The rest of my life has nothing to do with you!"
Avery stared at her coldly. "The biggest mistake I made in my life was coming to you that day."
