Chapter 345 Getting in the Middle
Johny looked into the room. Ceres came out at the very moment.
"I don't think it's necessary."
Ceres was still gripped by sorrow. She didn't feel like doing a paternity test.
Roy knew what was on Ceres's mind. Her mother had just passed away. It wasn't the best time to ask
her to take a paternity test.
"Carly, I know you are sad, but you have to do the test. You have already lost your mother, but you can
at least find your father. I will be back in two days," Roy said.
Having noticed Johny's hostility, Roy did not want to stay any longer. He left before Ceres said
anything.
Ceres did not want to stay here any longer, so she returned to Country A.
The first thing she did after returning to Country A was bury Mike and Sally.
They died a glorious death, so their funeral was plain. They were buried in the family cemetery
according to custom.
The vibe in the cemetery was solemn. The weather was cloudy. Such bad weather made people even
more distressed.
The cemetery was so silent that the only sound one could hear was Jamie crying. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Jamie bawled, as she had lost both parents. She was now an orphan.
Johny stood by her side and stared at Jamie coldly. Ceres walked toward her.
"Don't feel ashamed of crying. After all, they died for you."
Jamie looked up and glared at Ceres in hatred. "I'm not as cold-blooded and heartless as you. You
don't even shed a tear even if your mom died!"
Ceres sneered, not refuting Jamie.
"I'm envious of you. You have such good parents, who would give up their lives for you. Your mother, in
particular, is so protective of you. Even if you did something wrong, she would still protect you. She still
cared about you even if you committed a heinous crime."
Ceres was staring at Jamie calmly. When she was little, she was jealous of Jamie. But that feeling
disappeared now.
Ceres couldn't force Sally to love her, and people had different fates. There was no need to envy others
because others might be jealous of her.
What she should do was cherish the present.
"It's you who killed them."
Jamie retorted, "It's you! It's your fault! It's all your fault! Bitch, I'll kill you!"
Jamie picked up a stone, trying to hit Ceres. But before she could get up, a bodyguard slapped her and
the stone fell to the ground.
Now that Jamie was subdued, she could no longer cause any trouble.
"Why can't you accept reality, Mary? You refused to marry Johny, so I married him instead. But when
Johny woke up, you wanted to take him back. It's you who should be blamed. If it hadn't been for you,
the Morris family wouldn't have gone bankrupt, and your father wouldn't have died.
"You had many opportunities to turn over a new leaf. It's a pity that you were too ambitious. You killed
your mother and your father! Even now, you haven't realized that! You are so stupid!
Ceres didn't bother to argue with Jamie. She sighed and turned to Johny. "I'll leave it to you."
After that, she walked toward the other side of the graveyard.
She knew that Johny would deal with Jamie.
No matter what choice he made, he had her support.
Jamie stared at Ceres's back in horror. Now, she had nothing left. Both of her parents were dead. She
was an orphan.
It wasn't true. Ceres was her sister!
"Ceres! I was wrong, I know it's my fault. Please forgive me! Please spare me! Please! I'm begging
you!"
As she was still subdued by the bodyguard, she could not stop Ceres from leaving. She begged her to
stay.
Ceres stopped. It was ironic that Jamie recognized Ceres as her sister.
But Ceres did not turn around. She left instead.
Now that Ceres was gone, Jamie begged Johny, "Johny, I beg you. Please let me go. I am still Ceres's
younger sister. I once loved you. My daughter is a Winsor. Please!"
Johny was aloof. He made a huge mistake last time when he showed mercy.
He would never repeat the same mistake.
"Take her back and lock her in the basement for now."
"Yes, sir!"
When Ceres returned home, Swedum ran over. "Mommy! You are back!"
After Ceres squatted down, Swedum threw himself into her arms. "Mommy, I miss you so much."
Swedum rubbed against Ceres's cheek while Ceres was hugging him. Swedum gave Ceres a new life.
"Mommy misses you, too. I love you so much, sweetie."
"I love you, too!" Swedum played cute. It had been a long time since his mommy embraced him.
It was the weekend. Swedum followed Ceres wherever she went, insisting that Ceres should carry him
in her arms. It was as if he had lost the ability to walk
This upset Johny. Swedum being with Ceres all the time meant he didn't have much time with her.
Worse still, Swedum asked Ceres to stay in his bedroom at night. If it lasted for a single day, Johny
would be fine with it. But three days had passed, and Swedum still didn't let Ceres go!
During dinner, Swedum pestered Ceres into feeding him. Having been away from her son for quite
some time, Ceres agreed to whatever Swedum asked for.
Johny was so annoyed that he ignored Swedum most of the time.
"Swedum, you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight."
Swedum chewed as he said, "Daddy, can I ask for a leave? I want to be with Mommy."
"No way!" Johny refused in a loud voice.
Swedum and Ceres were a bit startled.
"Why couldn't you keep your voice down? You scared Swedum!" Ceres blamed him.
Johny seemed to realize he was overreacting.
"Mommy, I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to be with you." Swedum tried to divert.
Ceres felt guilty, seeing her poor boy.
"Alright. I'll call in sick for you."
Ceres stayed with Swedum for the night. The boy stared at Ceres for a long time, making Ceres a bit
embarrassed.
"What are you looking at?"
"Mommy, what happened to your face?"
