Chapter 448: Sorry If I Hurt You
Rose was shocked when she saw her mother’s face. "M-Mom, I..."
Molly raised her hand to stop Rose from speaking. She looked into her daughter’s eyes, "I’m sorry... I was wrong, Rose. There’s no need to say anything. I understand now... from now on, I won’t talk about this kind of issue anymore, I promise you..."
"M-mom... why are you angry with me?" Rose’s voice sounded shaky when she saw how sad her mother was. Why was she suddenly angry and sad now? Even though she never refused anything she gave her.
Molly smiled at Rose and stood up from her chair, "It’s okay my dear. Your mother is not angry..." she smiled. "Now, you have to finish your lunch first..." she said, then left.
"Mom, please wait! Where are you going, Mom?" Rose panicked as she watched her mother walk away. She could feel her mother’s act was unusual — this was the first time she saw the irritated glint in her mother’s eyes.
Rose feels uneasy. She stood up from her seat, walked toward her mother, and gently grabbed her hand.
Molly halted her step. She turned to look at her daughter, "Rose Spencer, if you don’t finish your meal, I’d be furious!" said Molly while smiling at her daughter. She rubs her hair gently before continuing her words, "I’ll call you later. I have to get home. Your father needs me at home."
Worried that her mother would get angry, Rose could only agree with her orders.
"Good girl..." Molly stroked Rose’s cheek gently, then turned around. Her smile gradually faded as sadness was visible on her face. She started walking casually to avoid her daughter, knowing she would cry by now.
