I knew why she called me. Without thinking for a second, I blacklisted Inez’s number.
But soon, Marlin called me. I still blacklisted it.
I was very determined.
No matter who pleaded, I would not let her go.
She killed my baby.
I was just about to enter the community when I heard someone calling me, “June!”
Then my hand was held.
I turned around and saw Inez. She smiled at me and said kindly, “June, long time no see. You’re thin.”
Marlin was behind her.
He also flattered me with a smile and a bag in his hand. I recognized it as a bag.
“What’s the matter?”I looked at them deadpan.
These two people had nothing to do with me for a long time.
“We haven’t seen you for a long time. We want to see how you are doing.”Inez’s hand had been holding my arm.
She was holding tight as if she was afraid I would run away.
Marlin added, “Yeah, we all miss you.”
“You miss me?”I found his words ridiculous.”In order to cheat my shares, you beat me hard on the day I went home. Now you miss me?”
Marlin was very embarrassed. But after you said a lie, you had to say countless lies to cover it up.
Even if you knew the lie had been exposed for a long time.
Marlin smiled awkwardly.”June, I did something wrong. Forgive me.”
“That’s it. I went back and scolded him for a long time.”
Inez added.
They hit me and set me up. They could forget but I couldn’t.
I glanced at them and said, “since I left home that day, I don’t want to go back. You are no longer my parents.”
After that, I wanted to get rid of Inez’s hand and go back to the community.
But Inez was holding on to me.
Marlin lost patience. When he heard me say that, he immediately became serious. He took my other hand and said, “June, don’t go too far! You have to withdraw!”
“Why?”
I looked at Marlin.
“Why? Carter Family raised you for three years! You have to withdraw the lawsuit!”
“And we gave birth to you! Molly is your sister. It’s so heartless of you to do it!”
They kept saying.
One said they raised me for three years.
One said they gave birth to me.
I looked at Marlin and said, “you didn’t give me money when I was in Carter Family. My tuition was sponsored by the people in the orphanage. My living expenses were earned by working.
Some of the painting materials needed for design were very expensive. I worked all the time except sleeping, class and homework. I hadn’t had a couple of Carter Family’s meals. I just lived in Carter Family for three years.”
Marlin was speechless.
I supported myself in those three years. I didn’t ask Carter Family for money. I wanted to please Marlin and Inez and let them think that they didn’t have to pay for me.
I just wanted a little affection.
But they lied to me.
“So what! You belong to Carter Family. You can’t sue your sister!”Inez said.
“Then why did she sue me?”
I asked Inez.
At this time, the security guard not far away saw us and came over.
He recognized me and asked, “what’s the matter?”
“Family affairs.”
Marlin answered first.
I said immediately, “I don’t know them! Please call the police!”
As soon as the security guard heard that I wanted to call the police, he immediately said to the two people, “let go!”
They didn’t want to.
The security guard came to help me. He was so strong that he separated me from them.
I thanked him and left. The security guard stopped them. I heard him say, “I’ll call the police if you make any more trouble!”
Later, Marlin and Inez did not catch up.
I used to think that security was very strict, but I found that only with such security can I live in peace.
Although he drove Inez and Marlin away this time, I couldn’t rest assured.
Other relatives of Carter Family had called me several times. These people and I had never been in touch before. I answered the phone without knowing.
I didn’t know it was them until I answered the phone.
I lived in Carter Family for three years, and these people didn’t talk to me. Let alone our relationship.
But now they all came to me for Molly’s sake, hoping I could reconcile with Molly.
It was impossible.
I hung up and blacklisted the numbers.
I only cared about one person in Carter Family.
At last Sherry called me in person.
When I got Sherry’s call, I couldn’t help but worry. I had to answer her call.
Sherry asked me how I was. She asked me if I was free at night and asked me to eat at home.
Although I knew what she was going to say, I couldn’t refuse so I agreed.
That night I went to Sherry’s house without changing my clothes after work.
I thought there would be a lot of people. When I got to the door and saw the car at the door, I realized that there was no one else except Sherry.
When I got in, Sherry took me and said, “you’re thin. You didn’t take good care of yourself.”
She still cared about me, which made me uneasy.
I didn’t know how I would turn her down if she made me reconcile with Molly.
After dinner we sat back in the living room. She asked the servant to make tea and asked me, “what do you think of Molly?”
My heart pounded as she finished.
I hesitated for a moment and said, “grandma, to be honest, I can’t stand what Molly did to me in prison. This time I will never withdraw.”
After that, I had some regrets.
I felt like I was too direct and I was afraid to make Sherry angry.
Sure enough, Sherry was embarrassed. But she just asked me what happened in prison.
In order to win Sherry’s sympathy, I told her all about my abortion and being bullied in prison.
Sherry’s eyes turned red.
I took her arm and said, “grandma, I’m sorry. I can’t withdraw for my baby. I really can’t forgive her for what she did to me.”
