Chapter 371

The porcelain mug slowly cooled down. My heart started to sink as I realized that there was a long way to go before Julia would finally accept me. At the very least, I had to calm her worry and solve the problem about Monica.

Rather than lowering my head, I looked her straight in the eye and said, “I know I may seem worthless in the face of the Lane family’s reputation, but I’m not going to hide anymore. Whether you think I’m only going for Christopher’s money or his power, I’m here to tell you that all I want is to be with him. Being able to completely recover is the greatest gift God could ever have given me, because with my recovery came another chance to spend my life with Christopher again.”

The atmosphere became slightly chilly after those words left my mouse. Julia’s expression had also become sour and she sighed in response. “Yvonne, you’re a good person, but life can’t always be about love. Alyssa was my best friend back then and we already made a promise when the two of us were pregnant. If we both had sons, they would become sworn brothers. If we both had daughters, they would be closer than actual sisters and if we had one boy and one girl, they would get married. After we gave birth to one boy and one girl, we made a pact to get them married. Alyssa died because of me, and I promised that Christopher would marry Monica and give her a happy and carefree life. Ms. Tanner, wouldn’t you do the same in my situation?”

“I would not,” I said determinedly. “Mrs. Lane, you’re a good friend and a good wife, but I must say you’re not a good mother. Sure, you’ll be living up to your friend and your husband’s expectations, but you forgot about the most important person in this situation. Shouldn’t you consider your son’s situation?”

Julia seemed like she was about to say something, but I took a deep breath and got the courage to wave my hand to stop her. “When you wanted Christopher to marry Monica, all you thought about was your friend and honoring your friendship. You have put Monica’s feelings above your own son’s. Is that fair to him?”
