Chapter 926
She kicked her job to the curb to have kids and became a stayâatâhome mom.
Being a housewife was a tough gig, but a lot of people didnât give them enough respect, thinking they were just loafing around, not working, and all they knew was
how to chow down.
Truth was, whether you were a man or a woman, you gotta be able to earn your own dough. Only when youâve got money in your own pocket can you live the life you want, free from anyone elseâs leash
Speaking of this woman, Abigail thought of her own mom and got a bit of the heebie-jeebies.
She turned around and hugged her mom tight, âMom, thanks for hanging in there.â
Sonya gave her shoulder a light pat, âDonât think Iâm a pushover. Life is precious, gotta cherish it every day.â
Suddenly, Cornelia asked, âDo you guys still remember what my mom looked like? Can you describe her to me?â
Talking about Corneliaâs mom, despite the many years that have passed, Tanisha and Sonya still remembered her vividly.
Sonya said, âOf course I remember.â
Tanisha said, âYour mom was a real looker, classy too. I often see her in you.â
Cornelia asked, âWere my mom and dad in love?*
Tanisha said, âAbsolutely, they were head over heels for each other. They were college sweethearts and remained crazy about each other after tying the knot. Their love was the kind that made people green with envy Back in the day, it was normal to have kids as soon as you got married. Otherwise, it would cause people to gossip, questioning whether they had fertility problems. Your mom didnât want to have kids that early, and your dad backed her up, taking all the heat so that peopleâs words wouldnât hurt your momâ
Cornelia said, âMy grandma told me that my dad and mom were madly in love, and my mom was very gentle⦠But I never understood, if they loved each other so much, why did she divorce my dad?â
This question left Tanisha and Sonya at a loss for words.
After a moment of silence, Tanisha said, âItâs hard to say. I guess things just change all the time.â
Sonya said, âMaybe the love between your mom and dad just ran out.â
Abigail asked, âCornelia, are you thinking about finding your mom?â
Cornelia didnât say a word There was no kid in the world who didnât miss their mom, but she didnât even know what her mom looked like or what her name was. Her grandma only told her that her mom was stunning and had a beautiful name.
Tanisha said, âYour mom left without saying goodbye. It was a while before we found out sheâd divorced your dad.â
Sonya said, âCornelia, if you really want to find her, we can put out a notice online. With the internet these days, finding someone should be a piece of cake.â
Cornelia shook her head, âNever mind.â
She was worried that her mom might already have a new family and kids, and her showing up would just stir up trouble.
