NovelEnglishChapter 1886 'But how did he know where Mom's ward is?' wondered Corinne.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven Corinne held strong hostility toward Maxwell, let alone Emily whom he hurt deeply.
"He dared to show up in front of my mom again? Missus Addison, don't worry. This won't happen a second time," reassured Corinne.
Once Joey was discharged and things settled down for Corinne, she would warn Maxwell not to disturb Emily anymore.
Melinda let out a sigh. "Corinne, do you really believe that your mom's heartache will magically disappear as long as your dad stays away from her? Your mom has been wandering for so many years, and she's never been truly happy. One reason is the guilt she carries for losing you, believing that her failure to protect you led to your death. The other reason is the emotional scars from her past marriage. Yes, she hates Maxwell, but how can such deep hatred exist without a foundation of love? When your mom just escaped from the Riveras, she was barely thirty. With her looks and brain, she attracted admirers everywhere, but she never entertained any of them. Why do you think that is?" Corinne pondered over Melinda's question before answering, "Because she was hurt so deeply that she doesn't believe in love anymore?" Melinda nodded. "That's a part of it, but I think the main reason is that she's never truly forgotten Maxwell. No one can ever live up to him in her mind. That's why she won't entertain anyone's advances and shuts everyone out." Corinne was taken aback. "Missus Addison, are you saying that my mom... still loves Maxwell?" "That's what I think. Otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted so intensely when your dad showed up. Regardless of the events from all those years ago, almost two decades have passed. Most people would have found speace by now. But your mother seems stuck in those memories, unable to move on." Ding! The elevator doors opened, and Melinda walked out slowly.

"The true sign of moving on would be when your mom can calmly face your dad without becoming overwhelmed by strong emotions otherwise, even if you keep your dad away from your mom, she won't truly get better. She'll just be hiding her pain and pretending she's forgotten about the past," replied Melinda. Corinne's eyes darkened in understanding. But I feel like Maxwell isn't worth my mom wasting any more emotions on him."
Melinda turned and looked at Corinne gently. "Corinne, you also have a man you deeply love. You should understand that feeling. In many o'm cases, the worth of emotions in a relationship isn't determined by others but by the individuals involved. Your mom has never truly let go of your dad, and from what I saw when they met, it seems your dad hasn't let go of your mom either. If there are any misunderstandings between them, helping them clear it up might be a good idea. What do you say?" Corinne frowned and thought, 'Missus Addison's right.'
In fact, Maxwell indeed had not let go of Emily. It was obvious from the way he carefully tended to the flowers Emily once loved. 1
