Chapter 84 As Stefania listened, her face turned cold and serious, and disdain was evident in her eyes. Nicholas’s
eyebrows knitted together, betraying the displeasure he felt.
Gregory also pouted his tiny lips, obviously upset. Nicholas was silent for a while, then nodded at the
butler. “Let her in.”
The butler nodded in response, and soon Roselle was sashaying through the door. To her surprise, the
sight that greeted her was Tessa, Nicholas, and Greg sitting at the dining table, halfway through their
meal.
The harmonious atmosphere was very similar to a family reunion…
There was a shadow across the look in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She took two steps forward
and greeted them politely in her gentlest voice, “Good day, Mrs. Sawyer. Hi, Nicholas.”
Stefania glared at Roselle, her voice cold. “And what business do you have here?”
Roselle looked haggard as she said in a soft voice, “I’m here to apologize. Ever since I left the main
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthouse yesterday, I haven’t slept a wink. I keep feeling guilty when I think about Greg. I know that my
mother did all that for my own good, but I can’t get over it no matter what. So, I decided to come and
apologize to Nicholas and Greg. Of course, I know that no matter how much I apologized, I would never
be able to make up for Greg’s pain, but I still want your forgiveness! Today, right here, I’m kneeling in
apology for my mother’s sake as well. Please forgive us!”
With that, Roselle bent her knees and knelt on the floor. Tears began to flow out of her eyes, and she
sobbed ever so softly, looking so pitiful and touching the hearts of those who laid eyes on her.
Seeing that, Tessa remained silent, but she had to admit that Roselle honestly had a way with words.
Roselle didn’t have to say much to subtly push the blame on her mother, hence presenting herself as
innocent.
She also came meekly to apologize in her mother’s stead, and her helpless tears won compassion for
her, adding to her constructed image of a thoughtful daughter. Those who understood would know how
Roselle’s mind worked. Those who did not, however, would be completely deceived.
Nevertheless, this had nothing to do with Tessa, so she could care less. She just placed more food on
Gregory’s plate, then silently ate her own food, pretending not to know anything.
Nicholas’s face was icy cold as he remained silent as well. He lowered his head and ate in silence, then
quietly said to Gregory, “Eat up.”
In fact, he refused to spare Roselle even a glance.
The man’s unfazed attitude shocked Roselle so much that she paled. She had come here today to get
Nicholas’s understanding and attention by showing how tragic she had been. However, the man didn’t
even seem to hear her, so she felt very defeated.
Roselle was a little regretful now. She should’ve known how incompetent her mother was, and she
shouldn’t have used such a terrible tactic which benefited no one.
She only had herself to blame, for she was too anxious to chase Tessa away.
But now, Tessa was eating at the table, enjoying the Sawyer Family’s warm welcome. Roselle herself,
however, had to be on her knees in humiliation!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe contrast between the two women was so strong that Roselle felt extreme discomfort.
Her chest was filled with rage and indigence, and her watery eyes were tinted with a vicious gleam.
On the other hand, as Stefania looked at Roselle kneeling on the floor pitifully, her heart softened a little.
In the end, she sighed quietly and said, “Get up now, Roselle. Even kneeling won’t erase the fact that
your mother had caused harm to Greg. However, since you weren’t in the know, I won’t blame you for
this.”
“Really?”
Hearing that, Roselle was instantly delighted as she got up from the floor and thanked her hurriedly,
exclaiming, “Thank you so much, Mrs. Sawyer!”
With that, she bit her red lip and looked nervously at Nicholas. “Nicholas,”
Nicholas didn’t even raise an eyebrow as he interrupted her in his bitter voice. “Your mother has harmed
Greg, so even if you came to apologize, I would never forgive you. However, you mustn’t forget one
thing. Remember how you pushed the blame on Miss Reinhart despite your conscience? Now, apologize
to her. She’s the truly innocent one.”
Hearing that, Roselle was instantly dumbfounded.
