But what I got in return was humiliation and trampling again and again.”
When Sonny brought a woman home for the first time. I cried and felt pain and I couldn’t sleep all night. I expected Sonny to comfort me and explain to me that everything was a misunderstanding. But he looked at me with indifference. His contemptuous eyes were like looking at a kitten or puppy on the side of the road.
He said to me, “Next time you cry, close the door tightly, don’t let your crying disturb my interest.“}
That time, I spent a night to shed all the tears of my life. It was also that time that I completely saw through this man who claimed to be affectionate but was colder and more selfish than anyone else.”
He didn’t love me. He didn’t love the dead Jennie. He didn’t even love his own flesh and blood. He only loved himself.”
After this incident, I grew up quickly overnight. Since then, I had sealed my heart and locked my love and never had any illusions about Sonny again. I just treat being Mrs. Monroe as a job.”
Now the contract had expired and the past was gone. There was no love or hatred between Sonny and me, only indifference.} That slap made Sonny speechless for a long time. He was a proud man. In the past, if someone dared to attack him in public, he would definitely peel off a layer of skin from the other person.
But today, he covered his face.}
After a brief surprise, he actually laughed. He ordered the bodyguards to disperse everyone present and waved to me.”
“Meredith, you have become more interesting. Sit down and let’s have a good chat.“>
I didn’t move, looking at Sonny with a defensive face.
Just when I thought he was going to do something to me again. Little Stephan suddenly ran over from the car.
He hugged me and cried bitterly. “Dad, don’t scare mom. If mom gets angry, she will never come back. I miss mom and I want to be with her.“}
He looked up at me while crying. “Mom, I know I was wrong. Can you come home with me?“}
In a short period of time, Stephan seemed to have changed into a different person. From a spoiled brat with bared teeth and claws. To a docile and well–behaved kitten.
In his sobbing narration, I learned the reason.
The driver who had the car accident was seriously injured. Sonny paid a huge amount of compensation and settled the matter. But Stephan was inevitably questioned by the police and scolded by the elders of the Monroe Family.
Every failure made a wiser person. Stephan had grown a lot. He also knew who was the kindest person in the world to him.}
“Dad only blames me for bringing shame to the Monroe Family and Aunt Kenzie only treats me to snacks. No one will cook delicious meals for me, play games with me and tell stories to make me happy like my mother does. They don’t love me. Only my mother loves me the most in this world.” Stephan cried more and more sad.
But I didn’t have the slightest softness in my heart.
I pushed him away coldly without a trace of extra expression. “Stephan, you know, you are the one who hurt me the most in the Monroe Family.”
I never loved Sonny, but I put all my efforts and love into Stephan.
As an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. What I want most was to have the company and care of my parents and have a happy family. I knew I couldn’t have all this.
So I gave everything I had, wanting to make up for my missing childhood in Stephan. But some things that were too easy to get made we didn’t know how to cherish them. Stephan not only broke my heart.”
