My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 715

I listened quietly, clenching my fists tightly. It was not that I was nervous or uncomfortable. It was just that she reminded me so much of Monique, which sent me into quite a daze.

After a pause, she continued, "I know that you feel like a mess now and you don't know what you should do. But Arianna, we have to move forward one way or another; we can't live in the past forever. What you have to do is to follow your heart. You don't have to keep yourself trapped in your past memories."

I nodded. In my heart, I knew all this.

She grabbed my hands, her expression calm and solemn. "I'm not here today as a lobbyist, but as a friend. I don't want you to suffer. So, Arianna, you don't have to reject me."

I gave her a small smile. "Thank you for coming over and telling me this."

She sighed helplessly, "To be honest, I hated Valerie very much at the start. She's the type of person who buries her dark ambitions deep in her heart. She will do anything and is willing to give anything up to achieve her goals. Such a person is extraordinarily terrifying."

I did not comment but I silently agreed. It was true that everything Valerie did, she had her own agenda behind it.

She continued, "Thus, in order to get what she wants, she has fought on like a cockroach with great perseverance, never giving up. She has been looking for you for the past 26 years and I've seen her experience many challenges. She was even tricked by others. You probably don't know that each time she went to a new village, she would do what she could to help the village's needy. She was atoning for her sins."

I pursed my lips and said in a low voice, "It's not like I haven't seriously thought about that."

She nodded, "Also, it's because of a mother's concern for her daughter that she gave Andrea all her love when she met her. She feared that she was not good enough. From a mother's point of view, her love is great. But from the perspective of others, as you know, her love can be seen as extreme, or destructive. Arianna, I'm not asking you to forgive her. I just want to tell you that this matter has ended. What you can do now is not let the past torment you, but to focus on what you should do in the future. You should live your life for the days ahead, not for days that have passed."

I was quiet. She was right, and I knew this better than anyone else. From a mother's perspective, all Valerie did was simply to help pave the way for her daughter.

As Andrea liked Hendrix, Valerie was willing to do anything to get rid of all the obstacles in her way. I, at the time, was unfortunately an obstacle.

Things had gone wrong from the moment Hendrix exchanged our DNA files. He had me and Andrea's fate switched. He had destroyed all expectations I had for my mother and had even killed my child.

I should have hated him, but I couldn't. Love was absurd. It allowed us to unconditionally forgive the person who brought on so much despair into our lives.

After she saw that I was still quiet, Freya said, "Actually, I hate Valerie a great deal. She's not a woman who can bring prosperity to the Moore Family. A woman's ambition is usually a good thing, but Valerie's was too extreme, too pernicious. It will only bring disaster upon disaster to the Moore Family, which is why I've always hated her and tried my best to chase her out ever since she entered the family."
