Chapter 92 Meeting her mother

Edwin Carter was not around, but they stayed on the phone call for a complete night, which made Jane felt that Edwin Carter was actually with her. When she got up in the morning, she heard Edwin Carter’s voice coming from the phone, "You awake?" As he says every morning while sitting by the window. Jane listened to his voice and felt him around. Jane smiled and said, "Yeah, good morning." Edwin Carter added, "Breakfast is ready." "Mr. Carter, what will I do if someday you changed?" Jane asked. Edwin Carter was so considerate about everything. She gradually gets used to him. If one day he changes, and everything changes as it was before. What would she do then? "Until you are Mrs. Carter, Mr. Carter cannot be bad to you." She’s his wife. He should be nice to her. Edwin Carter’s mind was very simple. "Well, I know. I will try to value Mrs. Carter’s position as much as I can and do my best to be a good wife." Jane has decided that she will stay Mrs. Carter all her life and will not let anyone snatch it from her. Jane has decided on her career, so she went to the company and delivered a resignation letter in the morning. There was no Manager in the business department for the time being, so she went to the personnel department. When Mrs. Carter resigned, the personnel department didn’t say anything. They didn’t mention any regulations like an early application for resignation. Because of her relationship with Edwin Carter, it didn’t take much time to finish the resignation procedures. When she came out of the company’s door, she felt a cold shiver due to cold air. The weather has suddenly dropped several degrees and now it’s really cold outside. She didn’t want to catch a cold that’s why she quickly pulled the jacket and wrapped herself tightly. "Jane..." When Jane wore the jacket and was about to leave, a familiar and gentle voice sounded behind her. She stopped and even though it might be an illusion. She couldn’t believe that this woman would suddenly appear in front of her. "Jane, it’s me..." An old voice came to Jane’s ear again. Even though she thought it was her illusion she turned slowly. She looked back and saw a woman standing behind her. But in just three years, why she became so old and so thin? She used to be thin, but not as thin as she was now. Jane opened her mouth and wanted to shout, but she didn’t get the courage to utter those words. She didn’t want to think about that time. The time, three years ago, when they abandoned her. She didn’t want to recall anything but when she saw this woman all those memories flashed in front of her eyes. She recalled her mother saying to her, "Jane, you are independent and stronger than your sister. Let your sister have your place." Jane thought of the reason that her mother gave to her. Her heartfelt the pain like being cut with a knife. Just because she was independent and strong, she deserved to be abandoned, to be betrayed? "Jane, Jane..." The woman looked at Jane and tears dropped down from her eyes. After seeing Christopher Greyson again, Jane has thought about it very clearly. Christopher Greyson had betrayed her but her parents’ attitude towards her made her feel more desperate. If one loses his love, it is possible to find a new love, but if one loses his family he cannot find a new one. Jane’s nose was sour, her eyes were swollen and filled with tears. She clenched her lips and raised her head, but she did not let the tears flow down. "Jane, I know that we did wrong to you..." Jane’s mother said in a muffled voice. "Blame me if you want. You know that I have no place in that house, I cannot make decisions. That’s why when that incident happened, I did nothing to save you." Jane was biting her lips, clasping her hands on her side and pinching her fingernails into the meat. She didn’t seem to feel any pain. "Jane, you don’t even want to say a word to me?" Because Jane didn’t say anything, her mother burst into tears again. Jane was not reluctant to speak. She was afraid to speak. She was afraid that she would lose self-control and cry badly in front of her. "I know, I’ve always known that I’m a coward. I can’t even protect my daughter..." Jane’s mother cried and her thin body shivered. Jane took a deep breath, forced herself to harden her heart and calmly said, "If you are here to convince me to come back to Kyoto and take the place of Sophie to have a baby with Christopher Greyson, then you can go back." Three years ago, Sophie conceived Christopher’s child. At that time they asked Jane to left her place and gave that to Sophie and now when Sophie can’t have a baby. They want her to come back take care of Christopher Greyson and have a baby for his family. Jane didn’t care about Christopher Greyson but she never thought that her mother can come to persuade her. Three years ago, she shed tears and asked Jane to leave her place in her home and her city. Then three years later, she came to take her back for Christopher Greyson? No matter whatever the reason they have, Jane was reluctant to listen. She looked at the woman who gave birth to her and felt some heartache. She turned and walked very fast, like a monster was chasing her. In fact, she wasn’t afraid of the monster chasing her, but she was afraid that she would lose her control and burst into tears in front of her. After running for a long distance, Jane hid in a corner, covered her mouth and cried a lot. When those people scolded her three years ago, she didn’t cry and she left them with a smile. But now, she has started a new life. The mother who once loved her so much came to convince her. Does the mother really consider her as a daughter? She didn’t want to think about it more. Jane already knows that in the eyes of her family, especially her father, she and Sophie both are tools for the interests of her family. And her mother was a coward. She had never been an independent woman. She only listened to her husband’s orders and instructions. Three years later, when she saw Christopher Greyson and Sophie Ronan, she could treat them as strangers but she couldn’t treat her mother like a stranger. The mother who once loved her so much. Jane turned and looked back quietly. She saw her mother was fainted and fell on the ground. At that moment, she didn’t care about anything and ran back crazily.
