Wendy sighed, her hard breath was even trembling. Then she calmed herself before she gave her answer.
“Literally, he regretted it and asked me for custody. If I don’t give him the child, he would go to Brian and tell him everything, otherwise, I should give him money.”
Wendy did not say her purpose and did not say that it was her wanted to give the child to Jonny. Or her mother would kill her.
What was more, the very mention of Jonny now made her heart tremble, and even though she had tried to soothe it, it was still in vain.
It was a terrible feeling, and it drove her crazy.
“So you compromised? If so, our works is in vain. You can also threaten him, give him money, how can you let him take the child away?”
Wendy’s mother was anxious as an ant on the hot pot.
At the beginning, she did not like the child, and even refused to have the child to live with them.
But during this period of getting alone, she gave the child all her love. Now the child was taken away, she could not accept it.
“He was asking for tens of millions. How can I get that much money for him? How can I not compromise? If he tells Brian, I will have a great lose.”
Wendy was not in a good mood for her child was taken away. She was afraid she'd never see her child again and her child would hate her.
“What have you lost? Have you figured out who is most important to you? The child! She is the most important. You have to talk to Brian sooner or later, and we don't expect anything from him, so we don’t have to be afraid of Jonny's threat. Didn't you think twice before sending your child away?”
“Wendy, if Jonny's threatened you, you could talk to me and we can figure a way out. You can’t allow him to take the child away.”
Wendy’s mother was angry at Wendy's simple mind.
Wendy could not handle it no matter what she said.
“Mom, don't be so angry. I gave the child to Jonny for another reason.”
Wendy first pacified her mother, lest she would be more angry.
“What? What is more important than child?”
Wendy’s mother was confused and she thought the child was the most important.
“Mom, you should know that Brian broke up with Gloria. And he has not reconciled with Winnie. Now that Brian is single, and I have the best chance.”
Wendy said to her mother, but before she could finish her words, her mother slaped her in her face, while swearing.
“Are you crazy? You are still thinking about Brian. No matter how good Brian is, he is not as important as the child.”
“Mom... calm down. Mom... You hurt me.”
Wendy avoided being beaten and begged for mercy.
She knew that child was important, but Brian was unusual to her.
“I want to kill you. You even abandoned your child for a man, should I beat you?”
“You are wishful thinking and don't give up on Brian. If I kill you, you will think of nothing.”
Wendy’s mother's anger was uncontrollable. She chased to beat Wendy, trying to sober her up.
“Mom... Don't beat me. The child has been taken by Jonny and there is no point in saying anything.”
Wendy shouted helplessly, in order to stop her mother's aggressive behavior.
Wendy’s mother stopped hearing that.
“Wendy, you have a problem with your brain? How could you do something so wicked? She is your child, if you give her to Jonny, he will ruin her life? If she could lead a good life, will you be happy even if you are with Brian?”
Wendy’s mother cried while scolding Wendy. She did not expect Wendy to be cold-blooded, and to pursue her so-called happiness relying on the sacrifice of her child.
If she had known that Wendy would become like this, she would have never tried to let her go home even if she had been tortured to death.
“Mom... I don’t want to, but I...”
She did not understand why Wendy was so unrepentant. Brian would not choose Wendy, but she was bewitched.
Wendy was both aggrieved and angry. She looked at her mother in shock, not expecting her mother to hit her in her face so hard.
However, she could not give up Brian. She had to be healed from Brian for what she had suffered.
“Mom, you drove me away for money, for you will not be involved. Do you only care about money?”
Wendy covered her face and questioned her mother loudly, but her mother gave a reply that she could not say a word.
“Aren't you after the money? Didn't you give your daughter to a scumbag for money? Don't you ruin yourself for money? Don't you find Brain for money?”
Wendy’s mother angrily asked Wendy, she wanted to let Wendy realize how sad it was to be abandoned by her mother.
Wendy stood silently, but her mother had not finished.
“Wendy, I like money. But I did not abandon my child for money, at least I let my child have a complete and happy home. I didn't push my child back and forth as a bargaining chip, and I didn't hand my child over to her father when I knew he was scum.”
“Wendy, have you ever wondered what kind of child Anna will be under the education of Jonny? Once she is bad, you will regret it.”
“And...”
“Stop, I can take care of my own affairs. Leave me alone whether I live or die. I'm leaving now. I won't take any money from you, and I won't get you into trouble.”
Wendy refused to listen to her mother's nagging. It made her have heartache, worry about her child and waver her decision.
Since she had made up her mind to fight for Brian one last time, she had to stick it out and not let external factors affect her.
“I must say, I want you to know that you and Brian will not work out and that it is wrong to give up a child for a man. I want you to know...”
“Stop, stop, just leave me alone.”
Wendy argued loudly with her mother, but she did not want to continue to listen to her mother, so she left angrily.
