Chapter 1362

“Your grandmother, she was always so impatient. If she had only waited for me, your mother would have had a happier life…”

Pauline had always favored her daughter, so she sent her away. Was it only to protect her, or was it also to spite him?

“Do you think Pauline would get so angry over you marrying another woman that she’d give away her own child? Was there something else?”

“Yes.”
