Chapter 870: Chapter 870
A child’s growth requires the company of their parents.
However, later on, Charlotte already had the Thompson family, and Annie was truly left with nothing.
Charlotte felt the deepest sorrow for Annie’s plight, so when she first learned that Annie had lost her memory, Charlotte felt somewhat relieved.
Forgetting the past and embracing a new life was the best option for Annie.
But fate never spared this girl, and after a series of events, she encountered Oliver Hudson again.
The scene was almost exactly the same as before.
Charlotte knew Annie wanted to give Olivia a complete family, but such completeness was built on her own pain.
Charlotte felt pain for Annie.
What had this girl done wrong to deserve such punishment?
Facing Charlotte’s questioning, Annie chose to remain silent.
She lightly pursed her lips and finally reached out to embrace Charlotte.
Charlotte simply hugged Annie lightly, comforting her.
The silent air flowed between them, and after a moment, Annie patted Charlotte on the shoulder and chuckled.
"As long as you’re taking care of Annie, I’m relieved. Even if something happens to me in the future, I won’t have to worry about whether Annie’s life will be..."
But Annie’s words were not yet finished when Charlotte frowned slightly in displeasure, interrupting her.
"What are you talking about?"
"Just kidding, you really are getting less humorous these days," Annie said with a restrained smile.
However, just then, a crying sound came from nearby.
Charlotte and Annie both turned their heads and saw Olivia standing at the door of the room, her eyes brimming with tears.
She was sobbing, with tears dropping down, and she was wearing the new dress Annie had bought for her.
This made both Charlotte and Annie’s hearts ache, and they both stood up and walked over to Olivia’s side.
"Annie, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?" Annie asked anxiously.
Olivia threw herself into Annie’s arms, crying out, "Annie doesn’t want Mommy to be in trouble, Annie wants to be with Mommy."
Hearing Olivia’s words, Annie realized her daughter must have heard what she had just said.
She gently patted Olivia’s back, quickly comforting her, "Annie, don’t cry, don’t be scared. Mommy was just joking, Mommy won’t be in trouble."
"Even joking is not okay, Annie doesn’t like such jokes," Olivia said, becoming even more aggrieved, her speech slightly muffled.
"Mommy knows it was wrong, sorry Annie, Mommy won’t say such things again."
Annie held Olivia’s small face, looking at her seriously and with heartfelt pain.
But this time Olivia said nothing, only huddling in Annie’s arms and sobbing.
Annie couldn’t help but cast a pleading look toward Charlotte; her daughter’s crying really broke her heart.
"Consider it a lesson, see if you dare to speak carelessly in the future."
Earlier, upon hearing Annie’s words, Charlotte had felt quite uneasy. Latest content published on NovelHub(.)net
Ever since Annie had been hospitalized, Charlotte knew her mental state was not good, so she could not find any humor in the joke Annie had made.
"Mommy really knows it was wrong, Annie stop crying."
At that moment, Annie’s heart was filled with guilt, continuously comforting Olivia until her emotions gradually stabilized.
"Then Mommy, let’s pinky promise," Olivia said, extending her little pinky finger toward Annie.
"Okay, let’s pinky promise," Annie immediately hooked Olivia’s finger.
