The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2473

Regret had its moments, but who could spend their life clinging to those regrets?

"If you really cared about me so much, why didn't you just smother your daughter when she was born?"

Clara's face contorted with rage, like a demon clawing its way out of hell, her hands gripping Tessa's shoulders, shaking her relentlessly. "Huh? Why didn't you just end her? If you hadn't brought her into this world, there wouldn't be an Ivy to torment me now. Do you even understand how much pain I'm in? Everything I had has been ruined by your daughter!"

Tessa let out a scream. "Clara, what has gotten into you?"

The truth was that Tessa had not considered terminating her pregnancy with Ivy because she had been convinced Ivy was going to be a boy.

Having a son would have cemented her place in the Dunhill family, but fate had other plans.

"Your wretched daughter competes with me for everything. I hate you, and I'll never call a wretch like you 'mom'!"

Tessa stood frozen in place, her struggle ceasing. Hearing Clara's true thoughts left her feeling betrayed. She never imagined that all her years of sacrifice would amount to nothing.

She was so shocked that she couldn't tell if Clara's hatred was directed at her or her daughter.

At that moment, Finn, who had been casually strolling back home, witnessed the scene and rushed over to pry Clara's hands off.

"Clara, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind? She's your mother!"

Clara's eyes were bloodshot with fury. "You're the ones who are out of your minds! She's not my mother! You force me to call her 'mom', yet her daughter has stolen everything from me! Ah!"
