Chapter 500 – Trying to Change
Serenity looked at her son in front of her, relatively speechless for a moment, realizing that another few minutes had passed by the time she realized the awkwardness.
The relationship between the two mothers and sons wasn’t as bad as Zachary Salvatore’s, but it wasn’t much better, and all in all, there was nothing to talk about when they got together.
Serenity still had a desire to be close to her son, after all it had been a long time since the boy had come to visit as soon as school was out.
“I hear you’ve been getting close to the little lady from the Charlie family, bring her home and show her to mommy some day, okay?”
Sergio answered “yes” and nothing more was said.
It was a similar question and answer, he never said anything, and he didn’t have to say anything.
The truth was that his heart was already cold to a certain extent, and it was hard for him to be warmed up again by these two irresponsible parents.
He had a tiny wish in his heart, that is, he hoped to be able to grow up as soon as possible, then he would be able to get out of this temperatureless family as soon as possible.
After the two mothers and sons chatted awkwardly for more than ten minutes, Serenity finally also sensed that the situation was not right, and did not force her son to stay and continue this meaningless conversation with herself.
“Go back and get some rest.” She offered her son a hug.
Sergio’s body stiffened straight away, well the hug that made him uncomfortable lasted only so many seconds and Serenity quickly let go.
“You have a good rest as well mother.” With those words, he slowly left the place to go back to his room and lock himself in.
Today’s parents still seemed to be really a little different from the past days, is it possible that they have coincidentally repented? Thinking that they shouldn’t have been so cold and unfeeling to themselves in the past?
Shaking his head a bit, he forced himself to put these bad things away.
It’s been so many years, they’ve long gotten used to it. Probably couldn’t be worse than the current relationship, one shouldn’t waste any more time on such trivial matters.
And the room looked at her son’s back as he left but a layer of fuzzy tears flooded the bottom of her eyes, that was the child she had worked so hard to give birth to ah.
When she gave birth to this child, she did not choose a cesarean section but a normal delivery, the pain of which she still remembers, with a life worse than death to describe it is not too much.
A woman giving birth to a child is a very scary thing in itself, a little inattention is a dead body, that is a ghost gate that can not be turned back.
But at that time she was very young and foolish, for the sake of her beloved man, in her eyes all difficulties are not difficult, she wanted to give birth to her and Zachary Salvatore’s child.
She wanted to have a child with Zachary Salvatore. At that time, she still had her own selfishness in her heart, that is, she wanted to use this child to tie Zachary Salvatore firmly to her side.
But in the end, things came to the scene that she did not want to see, Cecelia died, Zachary Salvatore’s heart died, and she herself lived in a very lonely life.
Even the child born with great difficulty is difficult to get the favor of fate, obviously both parents, but life is not as much as the children in the orphanage have more warmth.
After several years, for the first time, her heart rose up the idea of changing the status quo, she should not let her son go on like this.
As a parent but did not look to go to the qualification certificate, even she has not been a qualified mother, just think about it, there will be a little bit of regret in the heart.
She was ashamed for her child to call her a mother, and even more ashamed of the identity of this mother.
It had always been because she had been too useless, too accommodating to Zachary Salvatore, and had allowed the other party to be harsh to the child, that she had created the situation today.
Now because of the child’s one initiative to visit, she suddenly realized that she was probably really wrong all these years, and she should have taken a step forward to change this situation first.
Even if in the end she still couldn’t give Sergio a complete and beautiful family, at least it was better than never putting in the effort.
So, she went to the study to find Zachary Salvatore.
“Snap, snap, snap,” three knocks on the door went by, and the door was pushed in without asking for permission.
In fact, they used to be on good terms, so good that they didn’t even need the out-of-the-way courtesy of knocking.
But their years-long relationship was eventually ruined completely by Cecelia, a woman who came out of nowhere.
After Cecelia’s death, Zachary Salvatore once thought that he was jealous of her and set up a scheme to kill her.
If Zachary Salvatore hadn’t been unable to find out any tangible evidence, it might have been possible for him to finish himself off with a single stab to avenge his beloved.
“What are you doing here?” Zachary Salvatore didn’t expect it to be Serenity who came to the study with a scowl on her face.
He didn’t want to see the woman’s face; his heart had long ago been given to the long-buried Cecelia.
Every time he saw Serenity, he knew he had been ashamed of both women in his life.
So he avoided Serenity on one side, and on the other side, he couldn’t help but think of those childhood friendships that he grew up with.
“Came to see you, and also wanted to come and talk to you about our son.” Serenity acted matter-of-factly, sitting right across from the man and meeting his eyes in mid-air.
“Sergio? What’s there to talk about with him? If there’s nothing else, you’d better get out of here. I don’t want to see you in the study.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
I don’t want to see you anywhere there’s a Cecelia, was the last thing he didn’t say.
“You don’t want to see me, but I want to see you. Zachary Salvatore, brother Zachary, after all these years, you still won’t let yourself go, and along with it, you want to torment me and Sergio,” Serenity’s words were blunt.
Every word stung Zachary Salvatore deeply.
Sure enough, Zachary Salvatore immediately stormed off, a look of rage rising to his brow.
A heavy hand slapped on the solid wood table with a dull sound, “Enough! You shut the hell up. The first time I won’t bother with you, the next time you get yourself out of THE Salvatore family, you are not welcome in our THE Salvatore family.”
Serenity laughed a little, her face looking slightly sad but not much in awe.
Even if she was really kicked out of THE Salvatore family after today, she would still have to lay out these words with the other party to make them clear.
“Sergio is the son that you and I share, no matter how much you dislike me, it’s still your biological son with flesh and blood, that’s a fact that no human being can change.”
“I came to you with only this one thing to beg you, can you give that boy some love and some truth, so that he doesn’t show the coldness and loneliness that doesn’t belong to his age.”
“No matter what faults the adults have, they should not be blamed on the child’s head. And I was innocent of what happened in the first place, I didn’t have to lie to you or me …. Sergio’s existence you can not expect, but he is the mistake you made and your responsibility.”
“Think of it as me begging you to love our poor boy. Think of it as if you were pretending to love him as well.”
Serenity’s tone took on a faint pleading tone, there was no way she could deny a foolish mother’s heart, it was her own flesh and blood, and yet he had grown up so unhappy under her own watch.
The words stung Zachary Salvatore’s ears beyond measure, but his fury had subsided too much for him to drive the other from the place at once.
Even he vaguely recalled those past events of his youth, when he and Serenity were very affectionate, but whenever someone dared to bully Serenity, he was the first to bully back.
Serenity, too, was once his childhood friend, the little princess he swore to guard.
“You go back first, I’ll remember what you said.”
As for being able to do so, I can’t guarantee it.
The last sentence he chose to bury in his heart, looking at Serenity’s back as she left, Zachary Salvatore was sad.
