"Mom, I don't want to know." Lucy Wells' answer made Emma Wells ask in surprise, "You don't want to know?"
"Mm, as long as you're okay, that's enough. Him, I don't want to acknowledge." Lucy felt extremely resistant toward Jerry Taylor. All these years, the reason she had swallowed her anger and put up with everything was because she felt her existence was a stain on her mom.
So no matter how her uncle and aunt picked on her, she never talked back, she just wanted to be a little more obedient so her mom's life could be a little easier.
As for that man, she really did hate him.
It was just that, because her mom never mentioned him, she hadn't asked since she became old enough to understand. She didn't want to make her mom sad.
Emma Wells looked at her daughter, pressed at the corner of her eye in distress, and said, "Lucy, this is my fault. I never really told you the whole story."
