He looked at me and accused me in despair, โWhy arenโt you crying? Your mom always dotes on you the most.โ
Placing chrysanthemums in front of my motherโs grave, I looked at her portrait and said softly, โYou cried so sadly; if you were so sad, why didnโt you follow my mother?โ
โYou!โ
My father glared at me angrily and impatiently said, โJust asked you to carry a pot, whatโs the big deal? Why are you still holding a grudge against me? Look at you, youโre fine now, and Reynaldo didnโt do anything to you, did he? Ralda, no matter what, I am still your father. Now that your mother is gone, the three of us should love and support each other.โ
I lowered my head and tugged at my lips, feeling extremely sarcastic in my heart, but in front of me was a mist of bitterness. Why was the person who died my mother? Why?!
โRalda, your mother left so early; from now on I am the closest person to you in this world. You must take good care of me in the future, and try to get some money from Reynaldo for me when you have the chance.โ This man, no matter how crazy he loved when he was young, when he reaches a certain age, he still canโt resist the temptation from outside and cheats.
โMaking money is the most practical thing. Donโt worry, I will save all the money you make for you.โ
โEnough!โ Quentin coldly interrupted him, lamenting, โDonโt say these nonsense words in front of my motherโs grave. Do you want my mother to rest in peace?โ
โHehe, nonsense? Iโm laughing to death. When you helped that woman frame Ralda, why didnโt you think you were being foolish? And also, I was teaching Ralda the ways of survival and making a living, so donโt interrupt.โ
โWhat way of making a fortune? You just treated Ralda as an ATM. As Ralda said, you are really unworthy of being a father!โ Quentin said, pulling my arm worriedly, โRalda, donโt listen to him. Even though Mom is gone now, you still have me. I will take care of you.โ As for his father, who disowned his own family, letโs just forget about him.
โYou little rabbit, how dare you say such words in front of your motherโs grave. I think you are the one who truly doesnโt want your mother to rest in peace.โ
I quietly looked at the portrait of my mother, my heart filled with sorrow. Originally, when a person was so grief-stricken that not a single tear could be shed, not a single word wanted to be spoken.
My dad argued with Quentin for a while before finally stopping. I paid no attention to what they were arguing about, just silently staring at the portrait of my mom. After the funeral, I slowly stood up, but because I had been kneeling for too long, my legs and feet were completely numb.
I staggered for a moment, almost falling, but luckily Vonnie quickly caught me. Quentin looked at me with concern and said, โRalda, come back with me. I will take care of you.โ
My father disapproved and said, โWhatโs the point of going back with you? If she wants to go back, she will go back to Reynaldo. Take advantage of the fact that Reynaldo still has some feelings for her and go make some money. When Reynaldo got tired of her novelty, she wouldnโt be able to get anything, thanks to that.โ
After hearing this, Quentin was so angry that he trembled all over and said, โWhat do you take Ralda for? How could you become like this?โ
