Chapter 1060: Chapter 1087

“Mrs. Seet, I don’t want anything. I know how rich the Seet family is, but what Davin owes me can’t be solved easily.”

At that, Renee’s eyes reddened, and she lowered her head.

Sophia was baffled. It can’t be solved easily? What does she mean? Is she planning to cling to Davin?

She looks like a reasonable young woman. She can’t be planning to stick to Davin forever, can she?

If that’s the case, how will my unwise but sympathetic son deal with this?

No, I’ll have to resolve this myself. It has to be a perfect resolution.

Sophia flashed her a smile. “A relationship runs both ways. You were willing to enter into the relationship with Davin back then, but you were also the one to break off with him. Since you’ve chosen to end the relationship, he doesn’t owe you anything anymore, right?”

Renee was silent.

Seeing the furrowed brows and solemn look on Renee’s face, Sophia added, “Of course, I don’t mean that it was wrong for you to leave. It’s normal for a couple to break up. Furthermore, many married couples divorce nowadays. Regardless of whether it is a breakup or a divorce, it’s a decision to leave. Since you’ve decided to leave, it’s good for the two of you to draw a clear line between each other. That is what I feel. What do you think, Ms. Hadley?”

Sophia felt that she had been extremely patient with Renee. Usually, when she spoke to her two sons, she could barely contain her anger. It was a sign of her sincerity to resolve this problem.

The younger woman took in a deep breath before she looked at her. “Mrs. Seet, I think you’ve misunderstood me. I’m not planning to cling to Davin. I encountered him at the hospital two months ago. That’s when he found out about my situation and wanted to help me.”

“Encountered? Did you say you don’t want to cling to him? Then why did I hear my future daughter-in-law telling me that you were calling him in the middle of the night?”

“Mrs. Seet, I called him because I had an emergency. I didn’t know it would cause a misunderstanding for his girlfriend. Don’t worry. I won’t call him anymore. There’s a reason why Davin is helping me. If you know what it is, you’ll understand why I say it won’t be easy for him to make up for what he owes me.”

The remorseful expression Renee had piqued Sophia’s curiosity. If the matter were not resolved today, Sophia was afraid that Renee would continue to contact her younger son.

“What reason is it? Davin has not told me much about it. It seems like you’ve been keeping it in your heart for a long time. What about this? Tell me about it so I can understand you. Don’t worry. I’m here to resolve this matter, and I’ll give you an appropriate answer. You’ll be able to enjoy your own life after this.”

A self-deprecatory smile grew on Renee’s lips.

“Like what you’ve said, fate is cruel for Davin and I. I understand what you mean. My life after this will not have anything to do with him. We were never fated to be. However, if anyone’s at fault, it’s me. I was the one who chose to leave. I left because…”

Sophia listened carefully as Renee told her their past.

Half a year after she got together with Davin, Renee became pregnant. Back then, the man was young and rash. After getting drunk, he fought with someone. The other party was rash, too, and he had smashed a wine bottle toward Davin’s head. In a panic, Renee rushed in front of Davin to block the blow for him, and the bottle smashed onto her stomach.

However, the man was unhappy that Davin was unhurt. He tugged on her arm and shoved her aside, so her stomach hit the corner of the table. At that moment, she bled.

“It hurts! My stomach hurts…”
