A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3118

Megan did not have much to pack as her wardrobe was a measly collection of hand-me-downs. She emerged from her bedroom with all of her things in a single knapsack. Before they left, she cast one last look at the cottage she had called home for the past dozen years. Though she had always wanted nothing more than to leave, she felt her heart twinge when she realized she was never coming back.

At long last, they were ready to depart.

Megan glanced at Mia's bags and the money Garret had given her. Compared to her own single knapsack, it was a pitiful sight.

Taylor could not contain his astonishment. “Just this?” he asked in disbelief as he held up her bag.

Megan nodded in acknowledgment with a smile, acting as though it was a normal thing for village girls to do.

Mia rolled her eyes at Megan and Taylor. She took a step over the threshold but was halted by Garret's yells. Glancing back, she found herself face to face with her tearful mother. “When you get to the city,” she sniffled, “be sure to call me all the time!”

Mia did not attempt to hide her disdain for the pathetic sight of her mother. You've embarrassed me enough when you packed so much sh*tfor me to bring, and now you're being so clingy When is this going to end?

I know, she said impatiently as she tried to brush Garrets hands off of hers. “Go back now. We must get moving, or we'll be behind schedule again!"

Megan felt saddened by the sight of Garret being so loving toward her own daughter. If her mother had not died, she might not be living in such a wretched state.

Mia wrenched herself free from Garret's clutches and went up the car. Wiping her tears, Garret turned around as Megan passed and stuffed some money into her hands reluctantly. “Take care of your sister in the city!”

“Hmm.” Megan nodded coldly. As the car moved further away, Megan glanced back and saw Garret still wiping her tears. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her stepmother.

In her previous life, Garret had fallen ill a couple of months after the girls left for the city. It was later diagnosed to be cancer. However, Mia had dodged all her mother's attempts to contact her.
