Chapter 81: I have everything
Cecilia Glendon thought it was Debby White calling her back, but picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
After a moment’s hesitation, Cecilia Glendon put the phone through.
“Hello.”
“Is this Miss Cecilia Glendon, please?” A gentle man’s voice came over the phone, sounding familiar, but Cecilia Glendon still couldn’t remember where she had heard it before.
“I am, may I ask who you are?”
“My name is Moses Walker,” he said with a slight smile, “Miss Glendon remember me?”
As soon as the name Moses Walker drilled into Cecilia Glendon’s ears, she remembered the private lodge that Cecilia Glendon’s mother had taken herself to not long ago.
And Moses Walker was the owner of that lodge.
But Cecilia Glendon didn’t remember much about Moses Walker, so she couldn’t even remember what he looked like.
“Mr. Walker, it’s you.” Cecilia Glendon could only say in a tone that was neither familiar nor rusty, “Is there something wrong with you calling so late?”
It was nine o’clock, which wasn’t too late, but Moses Walker, a single male, was calling a woman like Cecilia Glendon for what purpose, as anyone could guess.
Moses Walker smiled lightly and said, “Yes, I will also hold a commercial reception at the lodge in a few days, so I would like to ask Miss Glendon if she has time to come to it?”
“No time.” Cecilia Glendon refused very simply, not that she didn’t give Moses Walker face, but recently she was busy with the studio and really didn’t have time to attend those boring receptions.
Cecilia Glendon’s simple refusal made Moses Walker’s end pause for a few seconds before saying, “Miss Glendon’s character is really bold. But is Miss Glendon really not going to give it some thought?”
“I’ve been very busy lately and couldn’t take the time.” Cecilia Glendon apologized, “So, sorry to have to dismiss your face.”
She said it with such sincerity that Moses Walker couldn’t have picked a nit to pick: “Well, then, I hope you’ll be free the next time I ask Miss Glendon out.”
“I’ll see you later.” Cecilia Glendon said lightly.
This was already audibly excused, and Moses Walker, being a human being, naturally didn’t say anything more, lest it cause Cecilia Glendon’s displeasure.
After the call was over, Cecilia Glendon looked at Moses Walker’s number for a moment, then found Cecilia Glendon’s mother’s phone and dialed it.
“Hello …?”
“Why did you give my phone number to Moses Walker?” Cecilia Glendon questioned directly to the point, “I made it very clear last time at the lodge that I don’t want a blind date, and I don’t need you to worry about how I’m going to live the rest of my life! ”
What Cecilia Glendon hates the most is Cecilia Glendon’s mother, who is always fighting for the good of Cecilia Glendon, but forcing Cecilia Glendon to do something she doesn’t want to do.
“You’re only 25 years old, do you want to live alone for the rest of your life?” Cecilia Glendon’s mother’s voice was slightly deep, “Cecilia Glendon, I’m doing this for your own good, what’s wrong with Moses Walker, he fits the bill in every way.”
“He’s good, he’s good, but I don’t like it.” Cecilia Glendon said coldly.
“Then who are you going to like, Abbott Benson?” Cecilia Glendon’s mother’s tone also coldened, “If you even dare to like Abbott Benson, then why won’t Moses Walker consider it?”
“And what does this matter have to do with Abbott Benson?” Cecilia Glendon clenched her teeth, “Who I like is my business, you don’t have to interfere.”
“I didn’t interfere the first two times, that’s why you’re living like this!”
Cecilia Glendon’s mother was also obviously angered by Cecilia Glendon’s cold words: “You were determined to marry Oswin Garcia, and what happened? And now you’ve been abandoned by him!”
“It’s my business to be abandoned.” Cecilia Glendon’s eyes were getting red, but her tone was still very cold and arrogant, so that Cecilia Glendon’s mother on the other end of the phone could not hear her.
“Cecilia Glendon, I’m your mother, and I have the right to be in charge!”
“Mother?” Cecilia Glendon laughed mockingly twice, “Where were you when I needed a mother? Now that I’ve survived on my own you claim to be my mother, don’t you think that’s a ridiculous thing to say?”
“Cecilia Glendon!” Cecilia Glendon’s mother’s voice began to tremble with anger, “I have not wronged you, why do you have to talk to me like that!”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Ever since Cecilia Glendon figured out that Cecilia Glendon’s mother had married Allen Brown, her hatred for her had long since dissipated.
It was just that this time something had touched Cecilia Glendon’s bottom line, and she didn’t like people meddling in her affairs without her consent.
“You do have nothing to apologize to me for.” Cecilia Glendon took a deep breath, her voice became a little hoarse and disappointed, “So, you don’t need to think about making up for anything, because I don’t need it at all.”
After saying that, Cecilia Glendon directly hung up the phone.
Cecilia Glendon’s mother was still standing by the window, listening to the last words that Cecilia Glendon had just left, her eyes were red.
It turns out that in Cecilia Glendon’s heart, this is what she thought all along.
“Did you have another fight with Cecilia?” Allen Brown pushed open the door and saw Cecilia Glendon’s mother in a state of distraction, still holding the phone in her hand, which he was used to.
He was used to it. Cecilia Glendon’s mother always looked like that every time she talked to Cecilia Glendon on the phone.
“So she doesn’t think of me as a mother anymore …” Cecilia Glendon’s mother looked dumbly at Allen Brown, tears rolling down from her eyes, “Did I done wrong …?”
The outbreak of her conflict with Cecilia Glendon was when Cecilia Glendon had an affair with Frank Brown.
Allen Brown was so good to Cecilia Glendon, but who did Cecilia Glendon like but Frank Brown?
She wanted to talk to her about it, but she was determined not to let go, even though she could see that Frank Brown was starting to back off.
Cecilia Glendon’s mother said that to Cecilia Glendon in desperation, she regretted it afterwards, she tried to apologize to Cecilia Glendon, but Cecilia Glendon left.
She moved out of the Brown completely and cut ties with Frank Brown.
But since that incident, the two of them, mother and daughter, seem to have become complete enemies.
Every time they met, they ended up fighting.
“If you ask me, you’re both at fault.” Allen Brown helped Cecilia Glendon’s mother to sit down on the edge of the bed, “Cecilia’s nature is already stubborn and you don’t know that, at that time still said that kind of things to her, she certainly will not be angry with you ah. But Cecilia, in the end, is too young to know that you are doing it for her own good.”
Cecilia Glendon’s mother buried herself in Allen Brown’s arms and cried out, probably the most she had cried in years.
…
The next morning, Cecilia Glendon went out with a pair of dark circles under her eyes and ran into Abbott Benson right after she left the house.
He looked at the dark circles under her eyes and frowned, “Didn’t sleep well last night?”
“Well, didn’t sleep well.” Cecilia Glendon feigned composure, “Too many things have been going wrong lately to sleep at night.”
Abbott Benson rubbed the top of her hair, “I told you not to worry, I’m here for you.”
