She never knew how much she meant to me.
On the day I married Jay, Amelia patted the back of my hand, crying uncontrollably.
"Your mom can rest in peace now..." Amelia said, crying.
My eyes were blank, and my face was pale.
Remembering my mom's dying wish, I still nodded firmly.
Jay acted gentlemanly and polite in front of everyone, and I once thought I had found a lifelong partner.
But after the wedding, when it was just the two of us. He approached me and coldly whispered in my ear, "You used your mom's life to get this wedding. Are you satisfied now?
"The person I love is not you, but I will follow my mom's wish and play my part in this drama. In the play, I am your husband. Outside of it, I love someone else."
Later, he indeed acted as he said, giving me enough respect as his wife in front of others.
But this marriage was in name only.
On the day Chloe was born, he didn't have a smile on his face.
He only said, "Now I don't owe you anything, and my mom doesn't owe you anything either."
I thought that as Chloe grew up, he would eventually return home.
But now I realized how foolish I was.
After Chloe was born, the only one trapped was me.
The marriage I got with a life was now ending with another life.
After leaving, I moved into the old, shabby place where my mom and I used to live. I even brought Chloe's ashes with me.
But I didn't expect the cemetery plot to have a three-day wait.
Finally, on the day of the burial, I had just opened the door when someone outside kicked me to the ground.
The urn in my hand almost slipped.
I looked up to meet Jay's angry gaze.
Lilian was surrounded by bodyguards. She was standing far behind, wearing a white mask.
Before I could react, Jay stepped over my body and entered the door.
He angrily shouted Chloe's name.
He kicked open every door but did not see her figure.
His patience quickly ran out. He walked swiftly to me, squatting down to grab my collar.
He angrily questioned, "Where is Chloe? Make her come out!"
Seeing his face twisted with anger, I tightened my grip on the urn.
"I told you, you don't deserve to mention Chloe! Now get out of here with your mistress!"
My words ignited his fury.
His gaze was like a poisoned dagger.
"Watch your mouth. I don't mind teaching you how to speak properly!
"You incited Chloe to do such a vicious thing. I asked her to apologize, and you stopped me. Have I really given you too much politeness?"
