Even After Death by Lilting Champ

Chapter 118

“What did you call me?” Chloe looked at Olivia in disbelief.

“Mrs. Carlton, did you forget that you divorced my father years ago?

“Your husband is now Mr. Carlton. Am I mistaken to call you Mrs. Carlton?”

This was the first time Olivia had been so cold to Chloe.

Even during the time Chloe met her after she came back from overseas, Olivia had been gentle.

Now, it was as if she was a cold and sharpened blade.

“Liv, you’ve changed. How can you say that? I am still your mother, after all.”

“Yes, I’ve changed. I’ve only come to realize that humans are despicable and that human nature is ugly and selfish.

“If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have been missing my mother all those years. I wouldn’t have spent years waiting for someone who would never return.”

“Liv, I know I’ve let you down. But now that I’m back, I’ll do everything in my power to make it up to you.”

Olivia gazed at Chloe’s face. She didn’t remember how Chloe looked when she was still a child.

She looked largely the same as she was in the pictures. There were only some traces of aging.
