Chapter 79 The Impatient Engagement
Flora watched the interview on TV in a daze, her delicate eyes filled with loss.
Although she kept saying she didn’t care about Clayton, she could fool others, but not herself.
Is he that impatient?
Flora turned off the TV and set the remote aside. She picked up a pillow and hugged it tightly in her arms, and her mind kept flashing back to all the years of entanglement between her and Clayton.
“Buzz … buzz …”
The phone vibrated eagerly, the muffled sound barely a hint of patience.
Flora wondered who else would be calling her at this hour.
Yet when she saw the name flashing on the phone screen, she couldn’t help but freeze.
Her mother must have seen the news too, or else she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to call herself. Flora hesitantly picked up anyway.
“Mom.”
“Don’t call me mom, I don’t have a daughter like you, look what you’ve done, you’re such a disappointment to me.”
Grace yelled at Flora mercilessly, without a trace of a mother’s love for her daughter.
Flora clutched her phone, she bit her finger hard, she had thought that even if her mother saw the news, even out of a little motherdaughter affection she would be slightly concerned about herself, after all, she had been having a bad time all these years in Ward’s Family, which her mother knew.
However, hearing Grace’s rant and reprimand, Flora was so aggrieved that she tried to suppress her choking sob and not let a single tear fall.
“Mom, listen to me explain …”
Flora choked, the suppressed choking at the throat, suffocating her almost painful almost unable to breathe, but, after all, Grace is her mother, what she wants most is to get her mother’s understanding ah.
“Don’t you explain to me, get your ass back here right now.”
Grace shouted, not caring about Flora’s physical condition.
She hung up the phone directly after she finished speaking, and Flora listened to the “beep” busy tone in the receiver, and the phone instantly slipped from her hand.
She promised her grandmother that she would be more understanding and understanding of her mother, and she had to abide by her grandmother’s words.
Flora stood up from the sofa, however, her head was already badly injured, because the action of getting up was too violent, Flora had a moment to bear, and planted herself on the sofa at once.
“Flora …”
Theo and Zoey, who had just returned from buying groceries, happened to see this scene, and they hurriedly put down the dishes in their hands and helped Flora back to the sofa.
“Flora how are you?” Zoey quickly brought a cup of warm water and handed it to Flora, asking with concern.
Flora waved her hand weakly, and after Zoey fed her a few sips of water, this made her feel much better.
“Theo, take me home.”
Flora said breathlessly, she slowly opened her eyes, and insisted on getting up.
“How can you go back in this condition? Stay here for two days before you go back, be good.”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Theo said with concern, he naturally knows which home Flora is going back to, for Flora’s family situation he still has some understanding.
Don’t look at him and Flora grew up together, in fact, he and Grace have only met twice.
All he knew from childhood that Flora was not liked by her mother, and every time she saw other mothers picking up their children at the kindergarten, she was all envious, all of which Theo saw in his eyes.
So in his heart, always heartbroken Flora, and also not much like Grace, because as a mother, she simply did not do a little responsibility, and if she did not force, Flora how could marry Clayton.
“Send me back, Theo, this is the first time I’ve ever begged you.”
Flora’s face was turning white, and she spoke weakly, with insistence in her voice.
Theo looked at her, he could not bear to refuse Flora after all, no matter what she asked for.
He couldn’t help but sigh, before he picked Flora up and carried her to the car.
Zoey quickly picked up Flora’s jacket and also followed, Flora this appearance of course she was very uneasy.
Theo’s heart was in Flora’s body, he did not drive the car very fast, after all, Flora is still injured in the body.
Wood’s Family Villa.
Theo intended to carry Flora inside, but Flora refused directly, and she was finally helped into the villa by Theo and Zoey.
“Miss is back.”
Belle saw Flora come back, typed care and hurried to call Grace.
“Madam, Miss is back.” Belle finished and nodded respectfully to Theo and Zoey before walking into the kitchen to prepare tea.
In the living room, Grace was sipping her black tea while flipping through a magazine, not even looking up at Flora’s homecoming without the slightest attitude.
“Mom.”
Flora stood in front of Grace and shouted softly, her hands unnaturally grabbed the clothes on both sides, as if she didn’t dare to sit down without Grace’s permission.
“How dare you call me mom? Do you know that you and Clayton divorce, simply let me lose face, I raised you so big what is the use.”
Grace was so angry that she slammed the magazine in her hand aside, she looked at Flora coldly, looking at the gauze wrapped around Flora’s head, and she didn’t even say a word of concern.
“I’m sorry, Mom.”
Flora hastily apologized, she was already numb to Grace’s attitude, she had known this would be the result, so she didn’t expect much.
“Hey, is she really Flora’s mom, why is she so mean to her own daughter.”
Zoey gently tugged on Theo’s coat corner and whispered. She hadn’t seen Grace, and now that she saw Grace treating Flora like this, she was a little incredulous that there was any mother in the world who treated her daughter like this.
When she saw her daughter hurt, not only did she not have a word of concern, but she even added insult to injury, Zoey did not like this woman at first sight.
Zoey’s words were naturally heard by Grace, who looked up and turned her gaze towards Zoey.
“Where did the wild girl come from, your adults taught you to talk to your elders like this, all day long you hang out with some wild girl with no upbringing like this, no wonder you got yourself into this mess.”
Grace glanced at Zoey in disgust, her arrogant look as if she was a proud peacock who didn’t put anyone in her eyes.
“You …”
Zoey is still the first time to be scolded like this, she is originally a quick temper, a moment can not control, almost rolled up his sleeves to yell with Grace.
Fortunately, Theo reacted quickly, and he pulled Zoey behind himself before bowing to Grace and apologizing.
“Sorry, Grace, my friend is rather impatient, you do not take offense.”
Theo very politely bowed his head and said.
Flora saw her best friend being scolded by her own mother for no reason, her heart was very uncomfortable, she looked at her mother with disappointment, she could treat herself any way she wanted for so many years, but Zoey was the only friend she could say from the bottom of her heart.
“Mom, Zoey she is my good friend, if it wasn’t for Zoey I probably wouldn’t be standing here alive right now, I hope you don’t say that about her.”
Flora found her way directly to Grace’s face, shielding Theo and Zoey behind her.
But how could Grace, who was already unbearably high and mighty, possibly want to hear someone else’s accusations, let alone the person accusing her, Flora.
