Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2285

Gloria looked at her daughter lovingly, and then she raised her hand to touch

Sabrina's hair. "My child, I am not old. I am only in my early fifties. I have kept myself i n quite a good condition, so I look like I'm forty-five at a glance. I have a nice figure, I can play the piano, and I can dance. You’re right about all this. If I really wanted to get myself a boyfriend, with the level that your grandfather is trying to please me and also with the Shaw family's background, it shouldn't be a problem for me to find a good man."

Sabrina smiled. "That's right, Mom. You don't need to worry. I’m guessing that the line of men who want to pursue you could reach the moon, and every one of them is elite. We’ll have so many options that we can pick and choose from."

Gloria shook her head, then she sighed and said, "But, my heart ...had long been covered in holes."

Sabrina was speechless.

"I've been living in misery since childhood. I had been abused by your grandfather, your uncle, and also your grandfather's wife growing up. Later on, I was only nineteen when I ran away from home.

When I felt sick in the Yale family's house, who grew vegetables for a living, my heart had already died. I've lost all hope. I have never thought of going back to the Shaw family in my life anymore. I have never wanted to be a graceful lady from an eminent family. Even though my biological father was a very powerful man in the country, I have also never thought that I could live like a high and mighty lady from

a noble family. At that time, I only wanted t o have a warm and cozy shelter. What I wanted appeared when I thought about it. That's when your biological father appeared. He was nice to me and both of us worked together.

"However, good times did not last long.

This sweetness of being in love and being newly wedded only lasted two short years. Just two years and your biological father started to dislike me. He disliked me so much that he was even able to give up on you, who is his biological daughter. Lincoln once whispered so many sweet nothings to me, but two years later, he was so merciless and cruel to me. At that time, my heart was numbed. From then on, I no longer believed in sweet nothing anymore.

"My real love, the one that had been through thick and thin with me and was true, was your adoptive father, the man that you've been calling dad for twelve years. His last name is Scott. He is your father. Do you understand, my child?"

Sabrina immediately feared up. "I understand, Mom. I understand. I only have one father in this world. My father's last name is Scott. He had already passed away when I was twelve. I no longer had a father since I was twelve."

"The same goes for me." Gloria's expression was incomparably miserable. She sighed and continued, "Since the year you turn twelve, which is the year that your father passed away, my heart has died with him. I was only in my early thirties at that time. My heart has already died for almost twenty years. Even if my heart is not dead, I will never like a man who only knew who to whisper sweet nothings to m e. Silly girl, think about it. How could it be possible for me to be in love with that kind of shallow and cheesy man like James, who was able to make people sick just by looking at him and listening to his cheesy voice?"

"You have never liked James?" Sabrina had never thought of this.

Gloria shook her head. "I've never liked him!"

There was a pause before she said with strong emphasis, "I am very disgusted by James!"

Sabrina did not understand, "Mom, you’re s o disgusted by him, but you still..."

She wanted to tell her mother that the way she protected James a week ago did not seem like she disliked him at all. However, i t was not good for her to question her mother like that as a daughter. She just looked at her mother in confusion.

Only then did her mother say "I have cooperated with the police on a case! I have done the police a huge favor!"
