Chapter 32
Return of the Lost Heiress
It was Margaretâs favorite medical book, which recorded many medicinal food recipes.
She usually read it on the deck chair in the yard and told Wynter, âThis dish is good. Iâll make a fish likethis for you today. And pumpkin soup.â
It was all ruined now! Wynterâs eyes darkened with a ruthless look as she strode toward the courtyard.
Seeing her, a child dressed as a masseur immediately put down the bucket and eagerly raised hishands to gesture.
Wynter held his shoulders, her eyes intense but her tone calm. âWolf, donât panic. Tell me slowly, whathappened?â
Margaret had picked up Wolf on the street. He was born mute and could only use sign
language, but he could also make some sounds now. He was small and clean, about 11 years old.
Wolf raised his arms to gesture to Wynter, looking dull and tough, his eyes charming.
âAre you saying the mess outside was all done by Wanda?â Wynterâs voice turned cold.
Wolf nodded and continued to gesture with a gravelly voice.
Wynter raised her eyebrows. âShe told you Iâm not with the Yates now?â
Wolf hummed and gestured, meaning Margaret was worried about her.
âWhy is she worried about me?â Wynterâs smile became colder. âItâs Wanda who should be worried.â
At this time, a sigh came from inside the house. It was Margaret, who had always been oblivious toworldly affairs.
She looked up at Wynter as she came out in a wheelchair. âSheâs your mother after all.â
âShe used to be, but not anymore.â Wynterâs eyes were clear.
âGrandma, she took over the Yates family. You didnât fight with her for the sake of your children andgrandchildren, saying you prefer your current life.
âWanda wouldnât have been so arrogant today without Ewanâs consent. He abandoned his mother afterhe married a wife. Iâm sure you understand even if I donât say it.â
Margaret glanced at the fish tank beside her, her eyes blank. âI understand. I raised an
ungrateful son. I deserved it myself.â
Hearing this, Wynter calmed down.
Even if their son was a scum, most mothers would deceive themselves and couldnât accept anycriticism about him.
If Margaret were also such an irrational person, Wynter would never interfere again, even thoughMargaret treated her like her own.
Whether to tolerate their bullies silently or get back at them, she left the decision to Margaret. Shewould then decide to stay or leave.
âWynter.â Margaret looked at her with wise eyes. âI donât want you to go. Southdale is a complicatedplace. The Scott family has connections in Kingbourne.
âIâm worried you will get into trouble because of me. From today onward, Iâll cut ties with this son!â@@novelbin@@
As she studied traditional medicine, Margaret had always been calm and had never been so cruel.
Wynter saw her determination and knew the connection between mother and son was deep. Now thatMargaret had confirmed her stance, Wynter would wait for her to let go in time.
âIâll listen to you.â Wynter squatted down, her eyes clear. âI wonât go if you donât want me to.â
Margaret stroked her long hair. âWynter, my poor child. If they donât want you, Iâll look after
you and support your studies.â
