Chapter 430: A Mother’s Guilt
As I looked at Hannah, who had just returned after putting the mop back, I noticed her gaze shift between her mother and . Her thoughts echoed in my mind, tinged with a mix of frustration and curiosity. [Mom... how did she beco so shaless? Even after all that, she sat with Jack, letting him take advantage of her...]
Hannah blushed slightly, her emotions a whirlwind of frustration and determination. She sat down on the chair opposite us, her eyes eting mine with a hint of defiance. [I will definitely teach him a lesson...]
This ti, I didn’t tease Julie. Instead, we enjoyed our breakfast peacefully, the air around us thick with unspoken words and hidden desires. The tension lingered, but there was a sense of calm, a silent understanding between Julie and .
Julie suddenly spoke up as she took a bite of her food. "Jack, it’s your first ti in Germany... Let
take you on a tour here. It’s beautiful here, and you will definitely like it..."
Before I could respond, Hannah’s thoughts rang in my head, her telepathy clear and determined. [No... I can’t let them be together. I have to do sothing... I need to convince Mom to let
co with them. That way, I can keep an eye on them and make sure nothing inappropriate happens.]
She quickly interjected, her voice bright and cheerful, a stark contrast to the turmoil of her thoughts. "That sounds like a wonderful idea, Mom. I’d love to co along too. It’s been a while since we spent ti together."
Julie looked at Hannah, her voice tinged with a mix of doubt and surprise. "Oh, Hannah, I didn’t think you’d be interested. I thought you had plans with your friends today."
Hannah shook her head, her eyes eting Julie’s with a gentle insistence. "No, Mom, I don’t have any plans. I’d much rather spend the day with you and Jack. We rarely get to do things like this together, and I think it would be really special."
Julie hesitated, her thoughts a mix of concern and reluctance. [I’m not sure if this is a good idea. Having Hannah with us might make things more complicated. But how can I say no to her? She seems so eager...]
[I usually don’t get to spend ti with Jack... as he has other sisters to spend ti with. It’s not that I am blaming him, but I thought it would be good to go on a date with Jack... just
and him alone...]
I realized that what Julie said was true. I haven’t spent ti with Julie or even other won alone, like taking them on a date with just the two of us.
I have really wronged them. The weight of this realization settled heavily on my heart. I’ve been so caught up in my own world, so selfish. I need to make it up to them, to Julie, to all of them.
I noticed Julie looking at Hannah, her eyes filled with a profound sadness and regret. [I have beco such a bad mother... I can’t let Hannah down... and I haven’t been there for her for such a long ti...] Her thoughts were a whirlwind of guilt and sorrow, each mory a sharp reminder of her perceived failures.
[We haven’t spent ti together... She was angry at
and stopped talking to ... but now that everything is fine... I should just agree...]
Her heart ached with the weight of her emotions, the guilt of not being there for Hannah when she needed her most. She felt the sting of tears in her eyes, the overwhelming sadness of realizing how much she had missed. [I let her down... I wasn’t there for her... and now, when she wants to spend ti with , how can I say no?]
She glanced at , her eyes searching for support, but I remained neutral, not wanting to influence her decision. I could see the struggle in her eyes, the conflict between her desires and her responsibilities as a mother.
Julie sighed softly, her voice tinged with resignation and a deep, emotional weight. "Well, if you’re sure, Hannah. I think it would be nice to have you with us."
Her voice trembled slightly, the sadness in her heart evident in every word. She wanted to make things right, to be the mother Hannah deserved, even if it ant setting aside her own desires. The guilt gnawed at her, but she knew she had to try, had to be there for Hannah in the way she hadn’t been before.
Hannah smiled, her thoughts a mix of satisfaction and anticipation. [Yes, Mom, let
co with you. The plan succeeded.] "Thank you, Mom. I really think we’ll have a great ti. And maybe we can call Haruna too. It’s been so long since we all hung out together."
Julie nodded, her voice tinged with a hint of warmth. "Alright, Hannah. That sounds like a good idea. I haven’t seen Haruna in a while, and it would be nice to catch up with her."
Hannah’s eyes sparkled with excitent, her thoughts a mix of happiness and determination. [This is going to be perfect. We’ll have a great ti, and I’ll make sure nothing inappropriate happens. Mom and Jack won’t be able to do anything with Haruna and
around.]
She stood up, her voice bright and cheerful. "I’ll go and call Haruna right now. I’ll let her know about our plans, and I’m sure she’ll be excited to join us."
Julie watched Hannah as she left the room, her thoughts a mix of concern and hope [I hope this goes well. I hope having Hannah and Haruna with us will keep things from getting out of hand. But I also hope we can still enjoy together, even with them around.]
She turned to , her voice soft and filled with a mix of emotions. "Jack, I hope you don’t mind Hannah and Haruna joining us. I know it might not be what we had planned, but I think it could be nice to have them with us."
I smiled at Julie, my voice reassuring and warm. "Of course, I don’t mind, Julie. It doesn’t matter as long as you are with . I’ve been selfish, and I need to make it up to you, to all of you."
Julie looked at
lovingly and sneakily kissed
before looking around to see if Hannah could see us. "I love you... so much."
I replied, "I love you too, my wife. And I promise, I’ll make it up to you. I’ll make it up to all of you."
