章節 529: What Do You Know?

Selma Payne's POV:

I hadn't seen Teresa in a long time. Her children had already grown up, and her increasingly haggard face was obviou.

"This is the price of being a mother." She smiled bitterly. "Raising a child is not like caring for a plant. You just have to water and fertilize it. As the children grow, they are no longer as obedient as they were when they were young. Sometimes, I regret it. I shouldn't have arranged for the age gap between the children to be so small, giving them a chance to go crazy together at the same time now."

"Is Daniel not helping you?"

"Of course he does, but he's very busy with work and can't help me anytime and anywhere. Now that he is in a high position, he has to go on business trips or carry out dangerous missions occasionally. I don't want him to worry about his family."

To be honest, even though we were both mothers, I couldn't empathize with Teresa.
