Lucy lowered her head and pressed her lips thin.

Seeing her reaction, Jenna was worried that Edward would get angry, so she nudged Lucy. “Your father is talking to you.”

Just when Lucy was about to say something, Elaine suddenly chimed in, “It‘s just a small company. There‘s nothing to ask, Dad.”

After hearing what his daughter said, Edward nodded. Honestly, he was not

interested in whatever Lucy was doing. If she really were the manager of a big corporation, it would mean that his stepdaughter was still rather useful. After all, profits and gain

Lucy did not want to stay after she had finished lunch. Jenna walked her to the entrance. Before she left, Jenna grabbed her hand and said, “Lucy, are you mad with me?“.

Lucy was not someone who could hold grudges. When she said she was not mad, she was not mad anymore.

After all, she had grown up now, and she could understand her mother‘s choice.

“Mom, do you regret it?” she asked.

Jenna was stunned for a moment. She stroked her belly, but she did not say anything in return.

Lucy did not say anything more and turned around to leave.

Elaine unlocked the car and said, “Get on. I‘ll drive you home.”

Lucy hesitated for a while. Since she had something to ask Elaine as well, she got into the car.

Her parents had gotten a divorce, and her father married another womạn.

Could she resent other people? No, she could only resent her father. He was the one who had destroyed her beautiful and perfect family. As a result, she did not have any faith

Lucy lowered her head. Although she and Elaine were not on good terms, Elaine just did not like

her and her mother. She would criticize them or speak to them harshly from time to time, but she had never done anything to hurt them.

After a long while, Lucy sighed. “Your father has only had one daughter from the beginning.”

Elaine laughed. “What if your mother gets pregnant? Even though she‘s old, my father still wants a son. I‘m already 30 years old. Don‘t you think it‘s ridiculous for me to becom

Lucy was shocked. She recalled that her mother had touched her belly when she was seeing her out. Could it be that…

Elaine continued. “Do you think it‘s worth it for a woman to risk her own life and have a baby in her 40s? When my mother
