Chapter 2 Looking at Odin's fierce gaze , which was as if he was looking at an enemy , my heart was heavily struck ! Actually , my feelings towards Noel have always been very weak From the very beginning , I knew that he married me not out of genuine love , but rather as a way to rebel against Mrs. Delacruz's control over him . And I 11 , in order to save my life , willingly became his tool . However , before we had children , the two of us also had a period of mutual respect and relatively warm days I also used to think that the two of us would walk hand in hand like an ordinary couple for a lifetime . But everything changed since I gave birth to my son , Odin . Mrs. Delacruz took away my child because she felt that I did not educate her grandson well She brought Odin back to the old house and even found a wet nurse for him . I was only allowed to visit him at specific times . I cried and begged them to give Odin back to me , bur all I got in return was their mockery I thought Noel would help me , but after hearing my intentions , he just asked me in disbelief , " Do you think you can educate children better than my parents ? " In his eyes , his son should have been raised to become a business prodigy , a working machine . He never felt that children needed him . I would never think that as a mother , I also needed my child . From that day on , the little bit of emotion that had grown inside me for Noel was completely extinguished . Odin's indifference and disgust towards me also completely robbed me of the meaning of staying in this home . If it weren't for Alisa , I would have left this cold cage a long time a And now , she has left , and I should leave the Delacruz family too , leave this haunted place full of monsters . After malking up my mind , I no longer attempted to contact anyone from the Delacruz family . I went to the funeral parlor and busied myself with Alisa's funeral . Alisa's body could not be pieced together completely . Fortunately , this silly person who loves beauty , lept a complete head , made some modifications , and appeared in front of me again , looking beautiful . I sobbed while hot tears streamed down my face , saying chokedly , " I'm sorry , Alisa If it weren't for saving my life , you wouldn't have married that jerk Ethan … " " Damn it … It was me , after all ! " That day , Alisa was sent to the crematorium . I spent money to be able to witness her last moment in this world . I thought I had already accepted the fact of her death, but when I saw the flames engulfing her body , I was still heartbroken The thirty years I spent with Alisa kept replaying in my mind. I remembered her smiling face and the words she said to me when she playfully asked , " Big sister , will you accompany me for a lifetime ? " In an instant , something completely collapsed in my heart . I got up and looked at the incinerator , murmuring , " Alisa , sister will accompany you … " I rushed forward uncontrollably , but was pulled back by the staff . The staff member was an uncle who couldn't bear to see me do something foolish . He busily advised , " Young lady , don't do something foolish . Your friend wouldn't want to see you like this . I came to my senses and slapped myself hard . Yeah , what was I doing ? Alisa's big revenge is not yet averiged , how can I die ? An hour later , I walked aimlessly in the funeral parlor , holding Alisa's ashes . Dreame - Read Romance Stories 45 76 % Suddenly , a melodramatic cry reached my ears .
