My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 612

"Why are you crying, Mom?" Anne asked. Her voice was soft. I knelt down and hugged her. I was feeling uncomfortable.

"Anne, I'll take you to see this aunt tomorrow, okay?" I hadn't been here for four years. I wondered if she was well.

Looking at Monique in the photo, Anne nodded. She raised her hand to wipe my tears. "Okay!"

I held her in my arms as I tried to calm down. "This aunt is the most important person to me and also to you. Can you promise me to not call her aunt, but Mom in the future?"

She was confused. "Why? Bennett said that there could only be one father and mother. If I call someone else Mom, then what do I call you?"

"Anne, each of us are different, and you are different from Bennett. You are a girl and he is a boy. He only has one mother, but you have two mothers. This aunt is the most important person to me. Her name is Monique. You must remember it, okay?" I said.

I couldn't tell her that I wasn't her real mother, but I didn't want her to have no memory of Monique.

She couldn't keep any memories before she turned four. But after she turned four, she could remember everything about Monique.

She seemed to be a little confused. But seeing how serious I was, she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. I will call this aunt Mama Monique from now on, okay?"

I nodded.

After settling down, Anne and I took a taxi and went to the cemetery the next day. Since I didn't come for a long time, the cemetery seemed to have expanded again. More tombstones were inside.

How many people had lost their loved ones in those four years?

At the flower shop outside the cemetery, a middle-aged woman was selling flowers. When she saw me with my child, she couldn't help blurting out, "Do you want some chrysanthemums?"
