Chapter 1281 Live For Yourself
Marie opened her mouth before closing it again. “I…”
“You have the right to choose your own life.” Wynter patted her own shoulder. “Look at me. You gave birth to such an excellent daughter and brothers who care for me. Without you, I’d probably still be at a random corner eating pickled vegetables.”
Marie was amused by Wynter’s words. “You’re talking nonsense again. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“I’m not talking nonsense. I was born into a good family.” Wynter continued softly, “My horoscope isn’t great, and I can’t read my fortune. But I’ve realized something recently. If I had a different mother, I wouldn’t be fated to be a part of the Quinnells.
“You’ve been muddling through for so long. It’s time to make plans for yourself.” Wynter looked up at Marie. “As long as you’re willing, go ahead and do it. I’ll deal with anyone who opposes you.”
Tears welled up in Marie’s eyes. “I know. I have the best daughter in
the world.”
“So, Mom, did you meet Mr. Lucius willingly?” Wynter was only
concerned about this.
Marie gave her a firm answer. “Yes, I was willing.”
“That’s all that matters.” Wynter chuckled and grinned. “I trust your judgment. I bet Mr. Lucius is completely under your thumb.”
Marie didn’t know what Wynter was so amused about. “Wynter, you…..”
“I’ve heard from Mr. Vaughan and Mr. Rachford. That Lucius guy is quite a charming man.” Wynter leaned closer to her. “I will have a look at him at the conference tomorrow. But, Mom, can I know what terms you have discussed with him?”

“Of course, you can.” Marie was slightly taken aback.
Generally speaking, at her age and after a horrible marriage, one’s children would advise them against trusting men again. They would tell her to avoid being swayed by emotions and would likely question all her judgments.
But Wynter was different. She would even discuss Lucius‘ appearance
with her.
Marie was initially taken aback but soon began to smile again. After all, that was exactly how Wynter was. She would always stand by her side unconditionally, beyond reason, regardless of right or wrong.
Marie extended her arms and hugged Wynter. “Thank you, Wynter.”
Wynter allowed Marie to embrace her. Over time, Marie seemed to have finally stepped out of the shadows.
Whenever people mention Marie’s name, it would undoubtedly be about her failed marriage. Wynter didn’t think it was fair. Everyone would experience failure and encounter bad partners, and no one could guarantee that hearts wouldn’t change.
It was just a marriage. Why should it bind Marie’s entire life? Marie could do whatever she wanted, and Wynter wanted to give her that confidence.
In that lost soul, she saw the love Marie had for her. She had given everything for her. Many full–time housewives were like that. They did it not just for their husbands, but for their families.
They sacrificed their own abilities. As they grew older, they might even start losing the right to pursue their own happiness.
If there was one thing Wynter never wanted to do, it would be to allow age and societal expectations to constrain someone who loved her.
“Mom, I hope you remain a young lady no matter how old you are.”

Wynter returned the hug. “Just like when I first saw you on the street. You wanted to drink beer and eat fried chicken.
‘I don’t want you to give up drinking just because of me. That wouldn’t make me happy.”
Wynter’s eyes were clear. “I don’t want to be a burden to you, just as you don’t want to be one to me. I hope you’ll always be free. Live for yourself, not for anyone else.”
This was what she saw in the part of Marie’s soul that was lost- Marie’s expectations for herself.
