Chapter 11: Reliving the past–teasing the wadress
As a result of her kind heart and her soft spot for children, Ms. Alice ended up adopting Christine after having a talk with her husband, Mr. Wales.
Six years old Jeslyn was excited to know that she would be getting a sibling. After all, she had been on her parents’ necks, disturbing them with the issue of wanting a sibling to play with.
Unbeknownst to her that she was pressuring her mother whom the doctor said could no longer give birth due to some medical condition that forced her womb to be removed.
Jeslyn could remember the first fight which happened between her parents was due to Christine being called an adopted child and getting bullied repeatedly in school. Ms. Alice took the matter with the school and the child’s parents so incredibly that it ended up in court and the school got closed down.
Mr. Wales was angry that Ms. Alice took the matter to the extreme and ordered Christine to be sent back to the orphanage as she tends to cause too much trouble.
Ms. Alice packed out of the house to live alone in one of her mansions with her two daughters.
To her, telling her to return Christine to the orphanage was the same as telling her to denounce Jeslyn as her child.
What mother would do that?
At that time, Christine was already ten years old, so she had never been able to forget that day to date.
