Chapter 519

She felt unworthy of being Joe’s mother.

She couldn't give the boy a complete family, and she had even left him during the first few months of his life.

“Your father...” Rowena said tentatively.

Camila blinked away from her son and turned to her mother. She looked terrible. She had obviously been crying. ninjanovel.com

“I'm so sorry, Mom. | should have told you earlier. You could have seen Dad one last time.” Camila’s voice was laced with regret.

But Rowena didn’t blame her daughter. In fact, Camila had already mentioned it once, but Rowena didn’t take the matter seriously. She sighed now.

“Your father had a lot of shortcomings, but now that he is gone, those things no longer matter. | only came to see him off on his last journey. We are a married couple, after all. Joe is still young

You should take him home. I'll take care of your father’s memorial service.” With that, Rowena handed Joe’s baby bag over to Camila.

“No, Mom, | should go with you,” Camila protested. “Be good,” Rowena said calmly, Looking as composed as she had ever been. “The mourning hall is no place for a baby. Don’t worry about me and just take care of Joe.”

Camila was painfully aware of her mother’s devotion to her father, despite his infidelity. Otherwise, she would have divorced him a long time ago.

Now that the man was gone, her mother must be devastated. Even so, she acted strong in front of Camila, and didn’t want to make her worried.

Rowena had already come to many realizations since her recovery. She did have feelings for Marvin and refused to divorce him, but she knew that her husband didn’t deserve her love.

“Don't worry, Mila. I’m not the woman I used to be. It was because of my weak resolve that you had to suffer so much.

She will never have another chance to bully us. Your father and | never divorced, so she has no Legal claim to anything of his. I’m the one who should be in charge of your father’s funeral, as well as his estate.”

Camila let out a slow breath. She had never expected this, but she was more than happy to see her mother with new eyes

After surviving her critical illness, Rowena’s temperament had really changed. She had become tougher and more decisive. “ALL right.” Camila nodded.

“| still might need to drop by later, though. I'll see you then.”

Rowena shook her head and glanced at Joe.

“| know you want to stay with the little one. You were separated shortly after you gave birth to him. I’m sure you miss him. You should spend time with him. I'll deal with your father’s affairs. Don’t worry.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
