She knew that it had to be her own daughter and son-in-law.
With a look of exasperation and guilt, Marlinie turned to Bertha. “Bertha, I’m so sorry. I think I have an
idea of what’s happened, but I… I don’t think I can help you.”
Bertha patted her best friend’s, hand. “Don’t say such things, Marlinie. I understand how you feel. If I
were in your shoes, I’d feel the same way.”
Tears welled up in Marlinie’s eyes. She really did feel guilty. All these years, when she was wandering
and homeless, Bertha stood by her side. But now, when Bertha was in trouble, she could do nothing.
She felt for Bertha and also for her own daughter.
When Pearl was younger, she made the wrong choice by entrusting her to the wrong person. Pearl
suffered a lot because of it.
Now, Pearl had finally grown up and found a man she loved. But constant trouble found them, leading
to their separation for three years.
Marlinie hadn’t fulfilled her duties as a mother to Pearl and didn’t have the nerve to ask her daughter to
go easy on her best friend’s husband. Because the person who caused Pearl and her beloved to
separate was none other than the biological daughter of her best friend’s husband.
The relationships were too complex. She couldn’t speak up, and she couldn’t intervene. She was
torn.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
“Bertha, I don’t know what to do. You’ve done so much for me, but I can’t do anything for you. Please
don’t blame Pearl; she…”
Upon seeing Marlinie so guilt-ridden, Bertha felt her heart ache. She opened her arms, embraced her
best friend, and patted her back. “Marlinie, don’t you know me by now? I understand how you, your
daughter, and your son-in-law must be feeling. Besides, Ellinor once saved my life. Without her, there
wouldn’t be a ‘me’ today. How could I blame her?
I know all about what’s happened over the past three years. I know what Sophia has done. Now, their
karma has caught up with them, and no one can save them. Everyone has to pay for their actions,
right? Sophia will pay for her sins, and Thaddeus will too.
Besides, the issues with Thaddeus International Corporation weren’t made up. They were real
mistakes that were simply brought to light. He did a lot of things wrong.
Marlinie, don’t worry about me. I knew from the start that I wasn’t falling in love with a perfect man. If
he’s made a mistake, I’ll wait for him to make it right. Even if he’s arrested, I’ll wait for his return. I have
plenty of time.”
After hearing her best friend speak so selflessly to alleviate her guilt, Marlinie felt even more upset.
“But… if he’s sentenced, it could be years before he’s released. You’re still young; how long are you
willing to wait?”.
Bertha rose to her feet, giving Marlinie a smile of determination and tenacity. “I can wait however long it
takes. You know as well as I do how much of a hopeless romantic I am. Even when you warned me
against marrying a man with such complex social ties, I didn’t listen. I dove headfirst into this marriage,
and I’m not about to start listening to reason now. Stop worrying about me. I’m such a hopeless
romantic that I find even the act of waiting to be sweet.”
Despite her heavy heart, Marlinie couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh, Bertha.”
Bertha’s laugh grew louder. “I’m serious! Him realizing his mistakes, is enough for me. He should learn
a lesson for spoiling Sophia all these years. It’s his own karma!”
