I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 81 Carter's tone was so soft when he spoke to Lauren just now . Carolyn thought that it was utterly disgusting . She muttered , " The kids need their mother ? As if they were motherless all those years she was gone ! What , Rhea's sacrifices mean nothing ? What a joke ! " Rhea replied , " Of course I'm not keeping the baby . But last night , I promised the kids that I'd take them on a trip before school starts . If I undergo the procedure now , I won't be able to accompany them . " The doctor said that I have two weeks to get it done .

The kids start school in a week anyway , so there's still time . " Carolyn's heart ached for Rhea . She reminded , " Rhea , they're not your kids . " " I know . " Rhea smiled faintly . " Whatever happens between adults stays between adults . The kids are innocent . They've called me ' Mom ' for six years . The least I can do is keep this one promise . " That afternoon , after finishing her checkup , Lauren noticed that Carter seemed distracted , as if he was in a hurry to leave . " Carter , why don't I go with you to see Rhea ? We can pick up some things that she'll need .

I do have experience with this , after all . " Carter hesitated . " Are you sure you're up for it ? " " Of course . I've got the wheelchair now . " " Thank you , then . I appreciate it . " Frowning , Chloe said pointedly , " Carter , remember Lauren's sacrifices . She can barely walk , yet she's still going to see Rhea with you . " Carter nodded . " I won't forget it . " Lauren reached for his hand and said , " I don't need you to remember what I do . I just want you to be happy . " They arrived at Westvale Villas with bags full of supplies .

Lauren gazed at the luxury villas ahead and remarked casually , " Carter , these homes seem even more expensive than ours . How did Rhea afford a place here ? " Back then , Rhea's entire livelihood had depended on Carter . So when Lauren casually brought up the question of money , he couldn't help but also wonder how Rhea could obtain such a place . A sliver of suspicion crept into his mind . 1/1 Chapter 82 Chapter 82
