Chapter 9
That day when I got home, for the first time, I heard about my two children from Mia’s mouth.
“Those two? Thou’re both quite smart but at that time Caleb was starting bis business and you were busy too You wont hack

“Those two? They’re both quite smart, but at that time, Caleb was starting his business, and you were busy too. You went back to work right after giving birth.
Both children were raised by their grandparents, so they’re not very close to you.
Hazel, during the divorce, you could have gotten 50% of the marital assets, but you signed an agreement with Caleb. You only took 20% of the assets, but Caleb had to sign a document promising not to remarry and to ensure all assets would go to the two children.”
She paused for a moment and then continued, “You carried both children for ten months before giving birth. You loved them to no end, but it was useless. Both children don’t like you. That day when I went to pick you up, I saw them cursing at you, saying you did nothing but took 20% of Caleb’s assets, telling you to give it back. You stood there silently, and when they got angry, they threw glass cups at you…”
Mia didn’t finish. She sighed and hugged me, “Hazel, can you not remember, please? We’re so happy like this, isn’t that good?”
I nodded seriously, “Okay, I don’t want to remember either.”
“But if you want to see them this weekend, you can go. You can’t avoid them forever. I’ll go with you then. No one will bully you.”
I looked up at Mia and nodded.
Actually, it doesn’t matter if I don’t see them. I’ve really forgotten.
I just felt a bit sad when they were first mentioned, but now I don’t feel much anymore.
I’m just a bit curious about what they look like.
