Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 4 Who Am I to You?

Colette left when Peyton was 8 years old. It was Kason’s birthday that day, and Peyton happily returned home, ready to celebrate her father’s birthday. But she was greeted with a divorce agreement from her parents.

In order to catch up with Colette, Peyton stumbled down the stairs, losing her shoes without even noticing. She clung onto Colette’s leg and cried desperately, “Mom, don’t go!”

Colette caressed Peyton’s tender cheek and said, “I’m sorry.”

“Mom, I topped the class this time. You haven’t even seen my exam paper yet. It needs to be signed by parents.

“Mom, please don’t leave me. I’ll be good. I promise I won’t go to the amusement park anymore, and I won’t make you angry again. I’ll listen to you. Please…”

Peyton expressed her reluctance to separate from her mom in a

panicked manner, hoping Colette would stay. But Colette simply told Peyton that her marriage with Peyton’s father was not happy and that she had now found true happiness.

Peyton saw a stranger man putting Colette’s luggage into a car, and then they left hand in hand.

Peyton chased after them barefoot for hundreds of meters until she fell heavily on the ground. Her knees and soles of her feet were scratched. Peyton watched the car that she could never catch up drive away.

At that time, Peyton didn’t understand. It wasn’t until she grew up that she realized her mother had an affair and was discovered by her father,

so her mother decided to divorce and gave up everything, including her.

For more than a decade, there was no contact between Peyton and her mother, fueling Peyton’s deep hatred. She once wished to never see Colette again in her lifetime.

Fate was truly ironic. In the end, Peyton had to plead with Colette.

Peyton’s throat felt choked, and she stood there motionless. Colette knew Peyton’s thoughts and pulled Peyton over to sit beside her.

“I know you hate me, but you were too young back then. Many things. weren’t as you imagined, and I couldn’t explain it to you.”

Colette reached out to touch Peyton’s face. “You have grown up. Sweetheart, I will settle back in our home country this time. I know the Schmitt family has encountered some troubles, but it’s fine. I will take care of you.”

Then Peyton realized that her so-called hatred was insignificant while facing her mother. She choked out, “Mom.”

“Good girl, stay and have a meal. These years, Elbert has been very good to me. His daughter is two years older than you. She and her fiancé will come over for dinner. I will introduce you to them.”
