Chapter 628

"Y-You're back," Petra said, looking a little nervous and conflicted.

I pursed my lips and nodded indifferently. Seeing that Xander and Jerome were not around, I asked,

"They went out?"

Petra shook her head. "Jerome is in the infant room and Xander went out to buy some things."

I nodded and said no more.

Munchkin saw me and reached out to me to hold him.

I took him and sat on the sofa.

Petra and Grayson exchanged glances with each other, their eyes containing complicated

emotions.

They seemed to have something to say to me. I did not say anything and was merely holding

Munchkin while playing with him.

After a very long time, perhaps Petra was unable to stand the silence, she spoke. She glanced at

me and asked, "I heard from Xander that you and Theo are getting a divorce?"

I nodded and hummed a reply, saying no more.

Stunned, she did not know what to say for a moment.

Grayson, on the other hand, was slightly mad. He said

furiously, "That's right. Get a divorce or he's going to break our family sooner or later.”

Petra frowned. For a moment, she did not know what t o say. She looked at me and sighed softly.

"What are your plans for the future?”

I pursed my lips. "If you have things to say to me, then just get straight to the point. Don't beat about

the bush."

The two of them were stunned, then exchanged glances with each other before looking at me and

saying, "Do you already know that your and Cindy's DNA reports were switched, Wanda?”

I looked at the two of them. "I know. But you must know better than me that I have never wanted to

reunite with my birth parents after living for so many years with my mother since a very young age.

You should also know that the moment you threw me away back then, we would never reunite

again."

After a pause, I saw Petra lowering her head to wipe her tears. I sighed and said, "Besides, many

things have happened throughout the year. The most I can d o now is not hate or resent you.

Therefore, we'll not meddle in each other's lives and live our own lives."

Petra's eyes were already pink. She looked at me with eyes filled with tears. "It's my fault, my child.

I understand that you’re mad, but you can't choose not t o reunite with us. I conceived and gave

birth to you, after all. I know I was wrong, but I didn't know the truth back then and thought that

Cindy was our daughter. If I had known from the start, how could I have possibly hurt you even the

slightest?"

"Does that mean that if I'm Cindy and not one of your own, you can then hurt me at will? There are

always grudges between humans."

I suppressed my emotions. "If you kill someone ruthlessly because of a past grudge, wouldn't this

world fall into chaos?"

"I was wrong, my child," Petra said in a tearful voice." These days, I've been thinking about this

every single moment. I've made too many wrong decisions all these years and am finally being

punished. This is my retribution."

Grayson’s countenance was a little grim. He pulled Petra into his arms and gently patted her back,

comforting her helplessly. "Now, now, that's all in the past."

After a pause, he looked at me and frowned slightly. "I understand how you feel, my child. If you

don't want t o return to the Louises, then I won't force you.

However, as parents, we refuse to let our child suffer out there alone."

He pulled out a Centurion Card from his suit pocket." Take this. You're the Louises' daughter. No

matter where you are in the future, promise me to love yourself. There’s no limit on this card. I won’t

tell you how to live your life, just don't treat yourself unfairly."
