Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2329

"However, I really can't follow you back and act all happy in front of you. That's because you and I are really not close to each other at all. Not only are we not close, but every time I see you, I will be reminded of my weak and sick mother, who had been lonely all her life, and had died with so much resentment."

Speaking of that, Gloria lowered her gaze. No words were able to describe that kind of pain.

"My mother was a person who had never been willing to trouble anybody. Even when she knew that she was seriously ill, she did not trouble her family. Instead, she chose to go somewhere far away by herself. The loneliest and most helpless day in her life was the day she saved our life! She had saved you! What did you do instead? You treated the savior of your life as the woman who kept pestering you. You treated her as a woman from the lowest position in this world. You were deeply afraid that she would ruin your family.

Your noble character and integrity, your loyalty, and your devotion to your wife were what you've gotten after trading it with my mother's blood, tears, and life. I have seen all the pains and misery my mother had her whole life. Tell me, how am I supposed to live with you?"

Gloria sighed. "Also, even if I were to leave my mother out of this discussion, just me alone is enough. Do you know when a person needed their parents the most in their life? Before they turn eighteen. What happened to me before I turned eighteen? Not only did my father not care about me and not give me any love, but he humiliated me in every way. You made me feel I did not deserve to be a human when I was a child. I was simply a beggar when I was a child. Therefore, Dad, later on, in the few years I became a homeless person to hide from Lincoln, I felt especially free. I felt that I may have been born a beggar. That sense of identity and the relatedness I felt to the identity was so appropriate. You were worried and scared that I was violated by James. You were afraid that I would be treated inhumanely by those outlaws. In fact, you really don't need to worry about that at all because I had often fought with wild dogs in the few years when I was a homeless person. I had even fought with rats for food. It's true. I am not lying to you. Therefore, I am very strong and tough."
