Lonely Bride

Parents



SARAH POV

“Hey hi.” I opened my eyes upon hearing this.

After opening my eyes, I saw Sean’s parents looking at me, dumbfounded.

“Sarah, is that you?” Sean’s mother came towards me without blinking, not believing her eyes, I guess.

“Mom,” I said, beaming. Sean’s parents and grandfather-all of us-made some kind of bond with each other during the days I stayed in this house.

Though Sean was not there for me, they always made sure to check on me. They used to call me to know about my well-being from time to time and visit many times.

“Oh, my god, Sarah Darling.” She squalid and hugged me like a kid.

“How are you, Mamma?” I asked, breaking the hug. “Hearing me, her mood changed from happy to angry.

“So, you still remember you have a mom?” She faked her anger.

I felt guilty suddenly. I left Sean, but with him, I left them as well. I never called them back, thinking I would answer them if they asked why I was leaving.

I look down in shame because there is no answer.

“Oh, come on, honey, do not be so mean. Let us not forget you have been waiting to meet her for a long time, and now when you see her, you behave as if you are not happy.” Dad spoke, shaking his head, coming in between me and mom.

“Dad” smiling. I hug him, and he hugs me back with all his affection and love.

“I am happy, but I have a full right to get mad at my daughter.” Mom said, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Of course, mom, you do,” I said, hugging her from the side.

“But let us do one thing. Let us take a break for half an hour, and then we will continue this. What do you say?” I asked her, wiggling my eyebrows. I know how to melt my mother’s heart. She is the sweetest person I have come across.

“Sounds good.” Mom nodded and sat on the couch.

“Before I say it, I heard Anna’s voice say, “Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Hudson.” She bowed down regarding them.

“Hello, Anna, How are you doing?” Dad spoke, and mom nodded to her.

“Very well, sir, thank you. I hope you are doing good too.” Dad nods in reply, and she looks at me.

“Mam, I have explained everything to Shannon. Now, what do you want me to do?” She again tries to act innocent in front of mom and dad.

Let me be honest here: she is anything but innocent, but, well, this lady is a big fool for sure. She still does not know me, huh?

Good, Anna. From today on, you will take care of Garden. I got to know you love gardening, and at this age, I do not want to burden you with any stressful work. So do what you enjoy.” I said, giving her my best smile.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Her creepy smile, which she had been drooling over since mom and dad came, suddenly drops and turns into a frown.

“Is there anything else you would like to say, Anna?” I asked as she glued herself to her place like a statue and looked at mom and dad with hopeful eyes.

But Mom and Dad got busy on their phones, ignoring our conversation.

“No mam. I should leave now. Have a good day.” She bowed down to us and left the place.

I look back at Mom and Dad. Dad had a proud smile on his face, and Mom was giggling the moment she left.

I look at Mom confused, as if asking what is wrong.

“I like the way you tackle her. Sometimes she forgets she is just a mare of a servant. Many times I have tried to tell Sean this, but this lady made my son go against me. She is a bitch.” Mom gritted her teeth, talking about her.

“Language, my love.” Dad reminded her to look at his phone.

But this is quite an interesting subject for me, and Dad seems busy on his phone, so I asked, “What did she do?”

“Oh, do not ask, my dear. She has done many things, like if I made something for Sean, she used to take my credit. She used to lie about me to Sean, so he hates me. She has almost made my son against me.” She spoke, looking in pain, brooding over her past.

“Oh,” I do not know what else to say because I never saw how their relationship has progressed so far. I never saw Mom and Sean together except on my wedding day.

“Well, dear, but one day I tricked Sean. Pulling some strings, we got his admission on the contrary, and there I used to go and stay with him. And we made many memories together, and our bond got stronger and stronger after that. But he trusts Anna, and I know he will never chalk her out. And I was not ready to face my son’s hate again, so let her be. I try my best not to come in her bad books,” Mom said, looking so helpless.

How can this cunning bitch come from a mother and son? But now it is enough. Count your days, Anna.

“Oh, Mom,” I hug her, looking at her so helplessly.

“Do not worry, mom; now you have me, and I know how to deal with such people,” I smirk, saying this. She might not be my mom, but she never treated me less than her daughter. And I respect her a lot. And I will never leave the person who has hurt my mother.

“Let us forget about that witch and talk about you. So how have you been?” She asked me, looking curious.

“I have been good, Mom.” I do not know what else to say.

“By the way, Sarah, we are so proud of you, my dear.” Mom said, caressing my hair.

“Well, thanks, mom, but why?” I asked, as I do not know what she is talking about.

“Oh, come on now; do not be so modest. Sean told us everything about you. How you topped in your college and how you have started your company, which now is the best amongst all.” Mom said, looking happy about my success.

This information shocked me. I mean, Sean told them this.

But why? And how come he knows this all?

Oh, let us not forget that he is Sean Bloody Hudson, and he knows everything. I am sure he must be keeping his eyes on me to get something so he can get rid of me fast.

But nowadays he is asking me to give this marriage a chance. Why is he doing it if he wants to get rid of me?

God, what is all this? Why is it so confusing? Garr. I closed my eyes in irritation.

I look back at Mom. She is the best person to get the information I need, so let us find out.

“Hehe, no, mom, it is nothing like it.” I wave off my hand as if it is no big deal, but in actuality, it is a big deal for me. I have seen hardship to get to where I am right now.

“Dear, when you left for Australia, I got hurt. You just left without saying anything, but Sean made us realize how you want to concentrate on your studies. How do you not want any distraction?” She said it, smiling sadly.

“He completely barred us from getting in touch with you. I wanted to see you during your vacation time, but every time I asked him, he had plans with you, so it never happened. ” She pouts, saying this.

Vacation? I wanted to laugh at this, but I controlled myself to know more.

“I even asked him for your phone number, but again, he said we would distract you, so he never gave it.” She shakes her head in disappointment.

“But one day, all my anger, hurt, and everything flew away when I saw you on the newspaper, shining like a star. That day, we understood how determined you were towards your dreams. Not only us, but you must sacrifice many things just to achieve what you want. And I am so proud of you.” She said this, giving me a proud smile on her face.

I was just blinking at this new information. My body suddenly forgets how to react. I mean, how can someone lie about their parents so cleverly?

But again, why did he lie to them? He could have said the truth. What is the need to lie about us?

This man is becoming a mystery to me.

“Thank you, mom.” I give her my fake smile. But inside, I was boiling in anger and curiosity.

“Hello!” Our heads turn towards the door, hearing the sound.
