After leaving the restaurant, Sophie walked alone on the street, furious.
Even though she wasn't her mother's biological daughter, she would never allow outsiders to insult her mom like that! If Mom had been there today and heard Lara's parents not only insulting her daughter but also criticizing her for not raising her child properly, she would have been heartbroken.
And the root cause of it all was none other than herself. The reason Mom and she were humiliated today was because she had given them that opportunity.
She felt utterly devastated. The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached, and her eyes reddened with unshed tears…
If just her background alone could attract so much humiliation, then back when Mom was raising a tiny baby all by herself with no husband to rely on—just the two of them depending on each other—she must have faced far more insults and finger-pointing.
