Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 241: It Seems That I Am Always the One Who Gets Abandoned

Jacob's face was filled with disbelief. Megan sneered.

"Don't you remember? On the first night you came back, you were drunk, and we made love. If I were pregnant with a son, your family would suffer a great loss."

Jacob did remember that night, and now he became hesitant.

If he divorced Megan, he would definitely not be able to replace a girlfriend, and no one would be willing to have a child with him. The Layman family would probably have no descendants.

Now that Megan is pregnant, it can also be seen as a sign of respect to her parents.

There are three unfilial acts, and being childless is the most unfilial.

Selena saw hesitation in all three members of the Layman family, and she felt a surge of anger.

"Uncle, Aunt, are you sure you want her to stay?"

To be blunt, Jacob had already found out that Megan had been seeing someone else a long time ago. Who knows whose child she's carrying.

Although Jacob was not a good person himself, now that the house was going to be demolished, he had fifty thousand in his hands. Their lives as a family of three would be very comfortable, and he didn't need a woman to cause trouble at home. Maybe all that money would go to waste.

Erin and Brian couldn't look Selena in the eye, and Selena knew their choice.

It was then that Megan crossed her arms and started yelling at Selena.

"Fine, so it was you, you coward, who suddenly wanted a divorce! You're such a bitch! You can't even sort out your own family's problems, yet you come meddling in mine! Get out! Get out of the Layman family, we don't welcome you!" Megan picked up the water nearby and threw it at Selena.

Selena was caught off guard and got drenched.

Brian and Erin were too afraid to look at her, while Jacob remained silent.

Selena didn't get angry, she just took her bag and said calmly, "I'll leave you alone."

After all, they were family, and she had done so much, but she couldn't get any appreciation in return.

Erin knew they had gone too far and quickly chased after Selena, but she heard Megan threateningly shout, "Which one of you will go after that bitch? I'll have an abortion tonight!" Her words were threatening, and everyone stayed behind.

Selena walked out of the alley alone, her eyes red and tightly holding onto her bag.

She couldn't express the grievances in her heart.

She felt like a walking corpse.

She bought a bouquet of flowers that night and instead of going back to the hotel to rest, she went to her mother's grave.

The grave was two hours away from here, and after Selena drove there in silence. There was only the light from her phone as she walked up, one step at a time.

When she reached the grave, it felt like she finally found some support as she lowered her head and placed the flowers on top.

It was raining outside, and she only felt the cold at that moment.

But perhaps her heart had already gone cold long ago, so she didn't even notice the journey she had driven here.

In fact, she couldn't even remember how many years had passed since her mother's death. It was only after Beatrice was born that she became the only one who came to worship every year. Selena rarely cried,

"At this moment, the coat was soaked by the rain, and the lips were trembling from the cold."

"Mom, I really don't understand why I always mess things up, as if I'm always the one who gets abandoned."

"If you were still here, no one would scold me for not being well-mannered."

"Mom, I really miss you..."

Selena knelt in front of the tomb, silently crying and speaking like this.

During the last worship, Brian was there, so she couldn't say too much. Now she felt like a vulnerable child, feeling wronged and only able to confide in the people she cared about. The wind in the mountains blew loudly, and the rain became heavier.

Selena stood up and wiped her cheeks with her hand.

"There are still a bunch of things waiting for me in New York. I'll come back next time. Take care of yourself, Mom."

She found a new place to put the flowers, wrapped her soaking wet coat around her, and started walking down.

But when she got in the car, she realized that the engine couldn't start, and she couldn't go back now.

It seems like her mother wanted to keep her here.

Selena curled up and found a comfortable position, falling asleep like that.

On the Harmony Garden.

Raymond had finished washing up and was wearing a loose robe, dealing with the last few documents.

Rosalind had been knocking on the door outside.

His frown deepened, and he heard her say again, "Raymond, it seems like you're not in a good mood tonight. Do you need me to keep you company and relieve the boredom?" Raymond put down the files in his hands, walked to the door, and opened it.

Rosalind smiled and held his arm. "Are you really feeling down?"
