“You’re so annoying. Nothing good ever happens when I run into you.”
Seeing Josephine, Belinda got even more worked up. She didn’t even bother to wipe her tears and gave Josephine a hard shove.
Those words and that action hurt Josephine deeply.
“Belinda Hayden, you’re not calling me Mom anymore?”
“You’re not my mom anymore, Auntie.”
Josephine felt as if a knife had been driven into her heart.
Wilfred and Helena came running over, and at first, neither of them recognized Josephine.
It was only after Belinda complained about Josephine being annoying that they turned to look at her.
Wilfred’s deep, phoenix–shaped eyes suddenly narrowed.
Josephine had changed her hairstyle back to the one she had when they first met.
Her facial features were softly outlined, her slender brows arched like distant misty mountains–delicate and elegant.
A men’s watch had fallen to the ground–it was exactly the brand he liked.
Wilfred’s lips curled ever so slightly.
She’d cut her hair the way he liked, and bought the watch he liked…
Had she spent all the money Patricia gave her on him? Was she finally starting to compromise?
Helena clenched her teeth in frustration when she saw the starlit confidence and charm return to Josephine’s eyes.
Her eyes caught sight of a children’s camera on the floor, and she pointed at it, asking, “Is this a gift for Belinda?”

“Just a few days ago, Belinda was complaining to me that her mother didn’t give her a birthday present.”
“But this gift doesn’t seem right. Belinda doesn’t like children’s cameras, and besides, it doesn’t look like a Novo Tech product.”
Wilfred glanced over and saw that it was a product from LuminousCore Tech.
LuminousCore Tech’s main business was basically the same as Novo Tech’s, but in every area, their performance was no match for Novo Tech.
There were rumors in the industry that LuminousCore Tech was preparing for bankruptcy and restructuring.
If Josephine bought a LuminousCore Tech product, it was either because she was short on money, or she was deliberately trying to provoke him.
If that was her intention, she would be disappointed–he wasn’t bothered at all…
Josephine snapped out of the pain caused by her daughter, shot them a cold glance, and bent down to pick up the watch and camera.
Belinda came over and kicked the camera away with her foot.
Josephine grew angry: “Belinda Hayden, pick it up for me.”
“No, I don’t care about your stupid camera.”
Belinda made a face at Josephine, then took Wilfred’s hand with one hand and Helena’s with the other, and walked away.
Wilfred walked a few steps, then looked back at Josephine, seemingly casually.
Josephine’s brows were tightly furrowed, her lips pressed into a hard line. She looked as if she was about to hit Belinda, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Back then, she had been buried under the rubble for too long, and the blow of losing her parents after giving birth had been too much. The damage to her body was irreversible.
Belinda was the only child she would ever have in this life.
She would definitely come back for Belinda.
Wilfred’s smile was full of confidence, as if everything was under his control.

Josephine picked up the camera from the ground and wiped it with her hand.
Looking at Belinda’s triumphant back, she closed her eyes in disappointment and pain.
She told herself that perhaps she was destined to have little luck with children in this life, as if she had never had a child at all…
