章節 685: Gratitude

When I heard their life story from Mina, I somehow expected her mom to not be that welcoming. She got cheated on by her ex-husband. He even tried to put all the blame on her. If anything, I thought she’d start holding a grudge against men. There’s also the issue of her child being implicated by the situation that turned the former lively girl into a silent recluse.

True. Years had already passed but if not for Haruko meeting Mina, the girl would surely stay the same.

Looking at this from a different perspective, her mother probably brought up competing with Mina as an excuse to bond with her and at the same time, check on me. That’s killing two birds with one stone.

I heard bits of stories from Mina but that’s surely not enough to conclude everything. All I got from that was… her mother, despite also suffering from what happened, did her best to raise her.
