A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 229

I knew it was my fault to neglect him for work.

I felt so sorry for Ashe.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Don't be angry, okay?" I touched Ashe's hair and said bitterly.

"Mommy... Yesterday was my birthday, but you forgot it. You think about work every day, and you don't care about me anymore." Ashe turned his head, and his big phoenix eyes were full of tears.

"I'm sorry, it's all mommy's fault."

"If dad didn't die, you wouldn't be so tired. But I have no dad, and you don't care about me. I'm a child that no one likes." Ashe said and cried.

"No, I love you. I was wrong. Don't cry."

I held Ashe in my arms and said with tears in my eyes.

"Ashe, don't blame your mommy. She is tired every day. You're a good boy and you can't run away from home just because you're angry. You make your mommy so sad. Do you understand?" Cornelia squatted down and said to Ashe helplessly.

Ashe blinked his eyes, looked at Cornelia, and then looked at me. He said guiltily with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry, mommy. I was wrong. I know that you're very tired. But I want to be with you, and I want to see you every day."

Ashe's words made me very sad. It was my fault. I neglected him because of work. That was why he was so excited.

"I'm also wrong. From now on, I'll try my best to go home early and accompany you every day, okay?" I held back tears in my eyes and touched Ashe's head.

"Really?" Ashe opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Yes." I looked at his happy face and nodded.

"Don't lie to me." Ashe reached out his finger and made a pinky-swear with me.

Looking at his childish action, I laughed.

"Okay." After I made a pinky-swear with Ashe, he smiled through tears and leaned against my arms. Then he hugged my neck tightly.

"Mommy, I will be very obedient in the future and won't let you worry about me anymore. When I grow up, I will be able to protect you."

"Okay." I looked at him and smiled.

"Thank you for saving my child." After handing Ashe to Cornelia, I thanked the woman with her back to me.

She was wearing a tattered dress, and her house was shabby. She seemed to live a poor life.

She looked back at me awkwardly. Her hair was messy, but her face was pretty. When I saw her face, I asked in surprise, "It's you?"

She was the woman I met when I was shopping with Mrs. Laura. At that time, her wallet was robbed by the whore master. I didn't expect that she actually saved Ashe. Ethel looked at me, licked her dry lips and said, "Hello... I'm Ethel. Thanks for helping me last time."

"You don't have to thank me. You also saved my child. You don't look like living a good life. How about working as a maid in my villa?" In return, I wanted to help her. But if I gave her money directly, it might hurt her self-esteem.

If I asked her to work for me, she would feel a little better.

"Really? Is that okay?" When she heard that, she was happy.

She looked industrious, so I nodded and said, "Of course, but it's very strict to be a servant in my villa. I hope you won't let me down."

"Of course. Thank you."

She looked at me happily. Then I asked her to pack up her things and went to the villa with me.

When she entered the house, she seemed to be talking to someone inside.

I stood at the door and vaguely saw a black shadow who seemed to be tied to something.

"Eddie, I'm going to work as a servant in Chairman Mu's villa. Don't worry, I'll make a lot of money for you. You won't feel uncomfortable soon."

"Ah..." I heard a painful voice like that of a beast. This voice was somewhat familiar.

I couldn't help but walk forward.

"Give it to me... now..."

"Eddie, calm down. Eat this later. I'll buy it for you again." "Give it to me..." The man kept roaring and said to Ethel.

"Ethel, What's wrong?" When I walked in, I saw Ethel squatting on the ground and talking to a black figure.

I could only call that man a black figure, because this room was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly but a mass of black.

"Ah... get out..." Before Ethel could answer me, the black figure suddenly struggled with excitement and roared at me.

I was scared by his roar, and my body froze.

"Ashley, please leave."

Ethel held the black figure in her arms and begged me with tears.

I suppressed the strange feeling in my heart and had to leave the room.

"Eddie, here you are. I'll buy it for you again tonight. Just hold on for a while."
