Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 714

While it had occurred to Megan to exploit Meredith as well, and she had also said the most unkind and harsh words to her, she didn’t really mean any of them but was instead just trying to urge Meredith to help her. It wasn’t until now that Megan recalled the matter in hindsight and realized she wouldn’t have had to force her sister to save her if she’d truly had the intention. When she was first sentenced to prison, she pitifully begged Meredith, only to be coldly criticized by her for being useless.

Soon, Megan recalled the struggle she went through when she was forced to marry Jimmy. Since she was a remarried woman, her youth and beautiful looks were the only thing she had left, not to mention the uncertainty about her fertility. Therefore, she didn’t seem to have a choice besides marrying Jimmy. After that, she took Meredith in, even though she knew she would have to endure all the unforgiving judgement and criticism from everyone else in the Astley Family. After all, she was prompted by her obligation to take care of her sister as she refused to let her live in the red-light district forever.

Therefore, Megan did everything she could and took a long time to save up a sum of money in order to redeem Meredith. Nevertheless, when her savings proved to be insufficient, she had to turn to Jimmy for help and persuaded him to lend her a hand. However, her mother-in-law subsequently found out about the matter and criticized her for a long time. I’ve done so much for Meredith, but how did she repay me?

“I’ve always wanted to have a sister like you, but I’m not so lucky to have one. Meredith is fortunate enough to have you, and it’s a shame she doesn’t appreciate her sister!” In fact, Selena had always been envious watching Meredith and Megan always together since they were little. Deep down, she had always wished she could have a sibling who would stay by her side no matter what. “I didn’t say this to drive a wedge between you and Meredith; I just want you to open your eyes and recognize the truth! Stop being a tool for someone else to achieve their selfish goals! For now, I know you’ve probably turned over a new leaf, so just move on and live a happy life because I’m going to put our personal vendetta behind me and move on as well.”

While Selena hadn’t really forgiven Megan, she said those words because part of her still treasured the tiny bit of sisterhood that was left between them. Besides, she also hoped to set a good example for her three children, for she wanted them to support each other no matter the circumstances. After all, she reckoned sibling love shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Then, Selena stood up and said, “You should go.”

Soon, Megan rose to her feet and said, “I’m sorry.” She apologized from the bottom of her heart. “I know you’re not going to forgive me, but I was thinking we could still be sisters… I-I’m not trying to butter you up, but—”

“I get what you mean, but that’s not happening.” Selena reacted with a calm look on her face. “I’ll never forget what happened in the past. From now on, you and I will part ways and stay out of each other’s hair. I’ll leave you and your family in peace, and I hope you’ll do the same too.”

Megan’s heart sank as she regretted the mistakes she made in the past. It was then that she realized the moment they got off the wrong foot from the beginning had already ruined and doomed their sisterhood.

“W-What about Meredith?”

“Her problem is hers to worry about, so you shouldn’t be concerned at all. If she has what it takes to deal with what’s coming to her, I’ll admit that she is tough, but if she continues to mess with me or gets caught by Pierre, she’ll only have herself to blame. Since you’ve learned from your mistakes and changed, I’m not going to do anything to you, but the same cannot be said for her!” Selena headed upstairs as soon as she made her point clear.

After leaving the Fowler Residence, Megan looked up as the bright sunlight shone on her so glaringly that she had to cover her eyes with her hands. Sometimes, people can stare at the sun but lack the courage to stare at their own souls. As soon as she got into the car, she sat on the seat like a soulless empty shell.

“Where are we going, Young Mistress Megan?”

“Is Jimmy back from his business trip?”

“U-Uh, he is.” The driver stuttered and said, “Y-Yeah. He is back.”

“What’s wrong with you? Quit stammering! If you have something to say, just say it already!”

“I heard that Young Master Jimmy just took a woman home. She is now in the courtyard.”
