Karen walked into the restaurant and saw Kristine sitting there daydreaming.
They hadn't seen each other for three years, but Kristine's appearance remained the same - soft and weak as if she could be blown away by the wind.
Karen walked towards her. When she was still a few steps away, Kristine looked up and smiled. "You are here."
"Yes," Karen replied unwillingly. It turned out that she can be so calm when she saw Kristine again, as she had forgotten everything about the past.
Kristine said, "I ordered your favorite crab yolk shark fin, fried cucumber, and..."
"I've had my lunch. Didn't you say that you want to talk to me about my mother? Just say it." Karen interrupted without mercy. She saw Kristine's disappointed eyes, but she didn't regret it at all.
In the past, Kristine knelt on the ground with such a sad look and apologized to her. What for?
Things had passed for some time, and Karen did not want to think about it again. But she could not forget about the things that Kristine had done.
"Father asked me to talk to you this time." Karen wouldn't want to listen to her nonsense, so Kristine did not waste her time.
"Ha..." Karen smiled coldly.
Father?
She almost forgot that she even had a father.
Kristine said, "Father hopes that you will go back to Beaford City with me. Stop wandering far away from home."
"What else?" Karen asked coldly.
She left Beaford City for three years, but no one ever asked about her. Now that Charlie found her, and her so-called father wanted her back, she knew what was going on when she thought about it.
"Karen..." Kristine pursed her lips and her tears swirled in her eyes. "I lost my child and I can't give birth ever again in the future. I can never carry a child for the Gook family..."
"So he wants me to go back? He wants me to give birth to a baby for the Gook family?" Karen said sharply.
She looked calm, but her heart was hurting. Even if she didn't want to admit it, that person was her father anyway.
She really hoped that she could have a father who loves his wife and daughter like how other fathers do and live happily with them without needing to fight for fame. Instead, her father ignored his wife and treated his daughter like some tools.
Karen guessed that when Kristine was having an affair with Charlie and she even carried Charlie's baby, her father was aware of it.
Anyway, they were both daughters from the family. It did not matter who was the one to marry who would marry into the Gook family. What mattered was as long as they are related to the Gook family.
Although she had been engaged to Charlie, their relationship was not fruitful because she was too young and too busy.
Her father even gave her a hint that she should do more with Charlie so that she can secure her position in his heart.
Karen had her own opinion on this thing, she thought that if their relationship had to be maintained by sexual desire, how far could that relationship go? She often made her father speechless.
Soon, Kristine was pregnant with Charlie's baby, which was great news for their father.
