Chapter 1059
“Since your accident, I’ve been the one looking after you and helping you. Apart from spending time and fooling around with Ryan every
day, what has Carrie done to support you? They say that when a
daughter gets married, she forgets her family. Carrie is no exception.
She hasn’t even married into the Hoffman family yet, but she’s completely forgotten about her hardworking mother, who raised her!”
Shannon was momentarily speechless, feeling like she had been struck by lightning.
Whether Carrie’s marriage to Ryan would really benefit her was still
up for debate. Looking realistically at her own situation, she couldn’t
even take a step out of the door, and her own safety was now in

“Thank you, Uncle Paul,” Carrie said, holding up the glass with a bright
and innocent smile.
Paul couldn’t help but smirk, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart.
Bethany and Carrie had such different personalities. But frankly

Bethany. While Shannon knew how to act like a lady and maintain her
ladylike demeanor, Bethany couldn’t even be bothered to pretend. She
was like a wild girl.
Before, Paul had worried about Carrie’s future, afraid that because of
her autism, she would live a lonely life and never experience love,
marriage, or building a family like a normal girl. But now, it seemed he
had worried too much. With Ryan showing her love and attention,
