His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 1781

Lena cradled her cheek that had gotten struck as she stared at Abigail with disbelief.

“Mommy, I hate you!” she shouted before dashing outside. Worried that something would happen to the little girl, Arielle quickly hurried after her.

Abigail gazed at her hand in disbelief. How could I... How could I have struck Lena? I risked my life to give birth to her.

Her heart ached as though it were getting pricked by needles when she recalled how Lena said she hated her.

As for Anna, she merely snorted with disdain after taking in the scene.

“Are you trying to gain my sympathy by putting on a pitiful act? Hah! I'm not falling for that.” With that, she got up and left.

Abigail gazed at Anna's retreating figure, a pained look flashing across her eyes.

I know she hates me because her mother wouldn't have died if I hadn't been in the picture. I was unfair to her and her mother. Lena and I are the ones who wronged them. That's why ever since Lena could understand, I taught her to be nice to Anna and listen to her. I don't know when it happened, but Lena suddenly changed. She doesn't listen to Anna anymore and is no longer Anna's obedient little sister. That's why I couldn't control myself when I heard Lena talking to Anna like that and ended up slapping her. B-But it wasn't on purpose... I was only angry because Lena was disobedient and refused to apologize to Anna. I didn't mean to slap her...

At that thought, Abigail quickly hurried outside after them.

Meanwhile, Lena hugged her knees as she sat on the lawn in the mansion's back garden. She had her head bowed low, bawling her eyes out.

Arielle sat next to her and gently pulled the latter into her embrace.
