Chapter 377

After washing up, Renee and Leia lay on the bed in their pink pajamas and had a girl’s talk.

“Renee! To be honest, I really envy you!”

Leia leaned on Renee and sighed emotionally. “Just look at you now.

You’re pretty and rich. You have two precious ones too. More importantly, you don’t have an annoying husband! You’re living a woman’s dream! I’m so envious. I’m tempted to get a daughter and son artificially inseminated into me!’

Renee laughed in amusement. “Don’t be impulsive! It’s not easy to raise a child. You can’t undo your decision after giving birth. It’ll be a nightmare until your child is three. You can’t leave them. If they get sick, you’ll feel tormented!”

Renee and Margaret worked hard to raise Adie and Abby for the past four years. Looking back, Renee had a lot of painful moments she could not share.

It was never easy to handle this kind of heartache. It was not something that could be resolved with more money or hiring more help. As a mother, her children were everything. It had been so from the moment she was pregnant with them. She always had moments of worry whenever her children were sick, naughty, or unhappy. Everything about them would affect her mood.

’I remember when Adie was only three. He caught a sudden high fever at one in the morning and was shaking uncontrollably. Medicine didn’t work on him at all. Margaret is highly skilled in medicine. She tried everything, but nothing worked!”

’I was so worried that I thought I was going crazy. At last, I knelt on the beach and looked at the dark sky like a fool, begging all night for God to save my child. My voice was hoarse, and my knees were swollen…”

Renee’s body trembled as she remembered that desperate night. Her eyes were red too.

‘ I didn’t know. I thought they grew up so fast and became so cute.”

Leia held Renee’s arm tightly and said with pain, “Renee, it must have been hard on you. Why didn’t you tell us anything?!’

Renee shrugged and said frankly, “What is there to say? All mothers go through the same experience.

Giving birth and raising a child is like a sacrifice. Don’t get into it before you think about it carefully!”

“Do you regret it?”

“Regret what?”

“Regret having children, and…” Leia paused for a few beats and asked carefully, “Do you regret not remarrying that scum-Stefan?’

“No, of course not!”

With a determined look in her eyes, Renee went on, “I was ready to suffer the moment I decided to keep them. My children are just like a sweet burden. They are my motivation to move forward. They are my only tether to this world. I’m serious. If I didn’t have them, I might have just ended my life and reunited with my family!

“As for Stefan…”

Renee sneered as if speaking about a complete stranger. She said in a light hearted manner, “You’re right. He’s a scum. Divorcing him was the best choice I’ve ever made! I would never regret it!”

“As expected of my dearest friend! You’re so strong and my role model!”

Leia gave Renee a thumbs-up and looked at her with admiration.

“Don’t just talk about me. What about you? How’s it going? Didn’t you say you would introduce your new boyfriend to me?”

“Me? I’m doing fine…” Leia covered her face shyly and said softly, “I think I’ve met true love this time!”

It was Renee’s first time seeing Leia being so serious. She was immediately curious. “Quick! Tell me more!”

And so, the two women lay in bed and talked about everything all night. It was almost the next morning before they drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Leia shouted after she turned on her cell phone. “Renee, it’s big news! You… Come and see this!”
