Chapter 1069 Please Help Me
“I initially planned to return to work after my maternity leave. Your father couldn’t have stopped me. But one night, I saw your tiny face turning red from struggling with
the bottle. I just couldn’t leave you.
“I told myself to put my career on hold and wait till you were a bit older before. returning. Your father was elated to hear that because that meant he could be at
peace without any worries.
“Later, I found out that the company was deciding between sending me or your father abroad as a new manager. He got promoted swiftly after I left.
Judith clenched her fist. “I was naive. I didn’t keep a safety net for myself. After having you, I softened and kept lowering my own boundaries. I thought I could endure it even when I found out about the mistress.” Judith’s tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as she continued.
“I’ve become someone even I can’t respect. I can’t stand it anymore.” Judith wiped her tears with her thumb and held her belly protectively with one hand as she looked directly at Janessa. “If you find me embarrassing and don’t want to acknowledge me as your mother, then we’ll part ways.
