Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Astonishing Revelations

Despite all these years of wholehearted devotion from Lily, Layla never regarded her as a mother.

Ben and Derek had an arranged marriage. After their marriage, he was very distant towards Derek. Derek, often melancholic, eventually passed away when Layla was still young.

Her death gave Ben the opportunity to remarry, and Layla blamed all of this on Lily.

As a result, she tormented Lily, both openly and in secret, even scheming to make Lily have a miscarriage, rendering her unable to bear children.

On the surface, they maintained a facade of harmony, but only Layla knew how much she despised Lily. Moreover, she was also Avery's mother.

Her anger towards Avery was also directed at Lily.

In the past, she wouldn't have bothered with Lily. Yet today, she had broken that precedent and allowed Lily to take her hand and lead her.

In public, they presented an image of a loving mother and obedient daughter.

Lily felt a subtle happiness in her heart. After all, for all these years, Layla had placed the blame for her mother's death on her. However, she was also a mother herself and could completely understand Layla's feelings.

She poured all the missing motherly love for Avery onto Layla. No matter how Layla treated her, she believed that one day Layla would understand her.

Now that Layla had begun to accept her, Lily felt immensely honored.

The onlookers quickly praised the two, and when Layla saw that it was about time, she took the initiative to speak, "Mom, where is Avy? She's been on the ship for so long and hasn't come over to greet us."

"That child has always been stubborn since she was little. How could she be as sensible as you? If she wants to be alone, let her be."

Thinking of Avery's icy demeanor, Lily also didn't want to call her over and put a damper on the lovely atmosphere.

"How can that be? If Avery has any grievances against Mom, I'll talk to her. Mom has always missed her, especially on this joyous day. It's a perfect day for you to reunite."
