Like mother, like son, Manley’s behavior was a direct reflection of Yuna! With this thought, Frederick’s determination to chase Yuna out of the villa was further cemented.
“In a couple of days, it’s going to be my birthday. If mom isn’t here, I won’t be happy!”
Birthday. That hit a nerve in Jocelyn.
She softened a bit, took a deep breath and approached Frederick. She gently rubbed his clenched fist. Frederick’s anger receded slightly.
“This farce should end. Let’s deal with everything after the kid’s birthday. If you make a change during this period, we can let this slide.”
She was addressing Yuna. Yuna had never paid heed to anyone other than Frederick, including Jocelyn. She always considered herself the future lady of the Winston household. Why should she listen to an old woman like Jocelyn?
However, Jocelyn’s words gave Yuna a glimmer of hope, and she nodded eagerly, “Yes, I will surely change my ways!”
“Mom! Did you consider my feelings while making this decision?” Frederick managed to ask, suppressing the anger boiling inside him.
Jocelyn whispered to Frederick, “I know you’re angry, but you also have to consider the kids’ feelings. How do you expect them to celebrate their birthday without their mother? It would be chaotic and not good for the child.”
“What about Hayes’ feelings?” Frederick asked guiltily.
“Don’t forget, Manley is also your child. This incident is bound to bring about a change in Yuna. And if you chase her away, who will provide the motherly love to the two children?”
Unexpectedly, Frederick thought of Marguerite. He admitted he despised Marguerite, but there was no denying her qualities as a mother! He even thought that Marguerite would be a better stepmother to Hayes and Manley than Yuna! But, it was just a thought.
After pondering for a while, Frederick chose to compromise.
“Go apologize to Hayes and Teresa.” His voice was cold and low, with an undertone of bone-chilling frostiness.
Yuna was taken aback.
What? She had to apologize to the kids?
Hell no! Why should she? Did they even deserve it?
Yuna stood there dumbfounded, but then she felt Frederick’s murderous aura enveloping her, and she was jolted back to reality.
If apologizing meant staying at the villa, then so be it!
Regaining her composure, Yuna walked over to Hayes and Teresa, and grudgingly said, “I’m sorry.”
Teresa was not about to forgive her that easily, but Hayes was different.
He gently tugged at Yuna’s hand, his eyes welling up, as if saying, “It’s okay.” Even though he had never felt motherly love from Yuna, she was still his mom! He was Yuna’s child, so he had to forgive her…
Hayes comforted himself with this thought, completely oblivious to the fact that Yuna’s gaze was fixed on Teresa, filled with malice and hatred. She wished she could disfigure Teresa’s face, or that the little brat got hit by a car.
She even thought of hiring a hitman to make Teresa disappear forever.
No matter with method she would use, she had a score to settle with the little brat.
Yuna was not going to let her off that easily!
