Since Mary has asked five - day off, the director personally called her to come back for the film, where she has been the leading role. Mary knew that she had to focus on her work,, so she decided to return the

next day.

As the sky darkened, Mary pretended to have just returned home from the crew.

Seeing her sweety pie, Belle asked with concern, "dear, Have you been too busy in acting recently? I see that you look exhausted every time you come back.

"No, Mom, I'm fine!" Mary immediately hid the sadness on her face and shook her head with a smile.

As Belle was looking at her phone, Mary hesitated for a second and asked: "Mom, can I ask you something?"

Belle raised her head and looked at her, and nodded: "yes, of course!"

"That... "Where is my dad exactly?" Actually, she had already asked this question when she was young. Her mother had always been impatient, but afterwards, she simply told her that her father was dead,, telling not to ask anymore questions about him anymore.

Mary was afraid that her mother would be angry, so, the older she was and the more sensible she got, the more she didn't dare to ask about it anymore. As is expected, Belle showed a pocker face. She looked at her daughter in astonishment, and after a long while, her finally said: "Why do you ask again?"

"Nothing, just..." When I was acting a role today, I also managed to shoot a movie about my dad. I ... "I don't know how to get along with my father because I haven't seen him before.. The director also said that my performance were stiff, that's why I asked you about this." Mary nervously looked at her mother's expression, trying to explanate.

Belle sighed lightly, and said indifferently: "I remember what I told you before, he is dead. For a dead person, you don't need to know too much."

"Mom, is he really dead?" Mary kept having the feeling that her mother was really hiding something from her.

Belle sneered: "Even if not I wouldn't tell you. All things about him are done now."

"Mom, I'm not a child anymore. If you know where he is, can you tell me? I want to see him. As soon as she finished asking, she closed her eyes and waited for her mother to roar at her. However, after a long time, there were no shouting and roaring. She slowly opened her eyes, seeing Belle leaning on the sofa in a daze.

"Mom!" Mary was frightened and quickly walked to her mother. In the end, she crouched beside her mother and shake her arms lightly, "Mom, are you disappointed at me? Don't be angry, I won't ask anymore. If you say he's dead, then I'll never think about him and care about where he is and who he is."

Belle looked at her daughter's frightening face with red eyes: "you have already grown up.."

"Mom, I'm sorry. I know this is your deepest hurt. I shouldn't keeping asking." Mary lied on Belle's knees. Belle gently caressed her long hair. Finally, she sighed and said softly, "honey, do you really want to know where your father is?"

"I really want to know, Mom, why did you never mention him? Is he a heinous sinner?" Mary sadly.

"No..." He's just married to another woman and they have a happy family now. No matter how hard I tried, I can't give you a complete family, It's my fault. Her tears overflowed.

Mary felt her heart pains a lot that she couldn't do nothing but hug her mother tightly. She finally understood why her mother never mentioned her father.

"honey, do you blame me for hiding it from you? I can't stand that people will regard you as a love child when I tell them your father,. Because you are not. When I was with him, he wasn't married, and he said that he would marry me one day but he broke the promise and married to another woman. He even knelt in front of me and said that he was so sorry, and told me to let him go, what could I do? I was pregnant, and yet I have to accept such an unfair treatment. I was desperate that time!" It was the first time Belle had spoke to Mary about her past. She felt that since her daughter had grown up, she had the right to know who her father was. She also understood the decision she had made all those years ago.

"Mom, I used to blame you, but now I don't. I know it's not your fault!" Mary lowered her head, not daring to look into her mother's sad eyes.

"Actually, in the years I just gave birth to you, when I started from nothing and was tired of running the business, I even wanted to break up his family. Belle laughed self-deprecatingly, and closed her eyes, thinking back to those painful days. She would never have the courage to live that kind of life again.

"Mom, why did he marry someone else? Didn't he love you?" Mary angrily questioned.

"No, but no matter how sweet we are, it is nothing in the face of wealth. He is very handsome, and his current wife constantly gave him a fanatical support. Your father wants to go further in his career, so he choose another woman rather than me. When Belle thought back to that day, she only felt that she was extremely stupid.

"Mom, is he promoted now?" Mary laughed coldly, she suddenly did not want to see that scum of a father anymore, he was not worthy to be her father.

"Definitely, his career as a official has been victorious!" Belle sneered.
