Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 24

"Serena, it's me, Mom... It's your mother..."

Her voice was choked with sobs. "You're back... Mom has finally gotten you back. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry it took me so long to find you..."

Serena could clearly see the raw pain, profound guilt, and ecstatic joy of reunion overflowing in the woman's eyes. It was pure and intense.

She felt a little overwhelmed. A corner of her otherwise unbreakable heart seemed to be gently touched by something.

After a few seconds of silence, she reached out and took the woman's cold, trembling hand. Her voice was less chilly than usual. "It's okay, Mom."

The warmth and realness of the touch made Catherine Lancaster shudder. That single word, "Mom," caused the twenty years of longing she had stored up to burst forth like a broken dam.

She could no longer hold back and pulled Serena into a tight embrace, sobbing loudly. "My Serena... Mom missed you so much, my heart was broken..."

Hot tears soaked Serena's shoulder.

Somehow, they seemed to scorch her heart.

Serena's body was a bit stiff. In all her years of being neglected by the Wynn family, she had never experienced such an overwhelming display of love.

She wasn't used to it.

But feeling the woman's trembling body and torrential tears in her arms, she felt a warmth she had always secretly craved.

She let her mother hold her, her gaze shifting to the man standing beside them, his eyes also red as he watched her eagerly.

His face was one she often saw on the covers of business magazines—the eternally stern and imposing magnate, Edward Lancaster.

The richest man in Vaelion City, the head of the Lancaster family, Edward!
