?Chapter 835:


    An remembered it vividly. He had been only five when his parents separated.


    And Lizzie… she had been just a few months old. Still a tiny, giggling baby. Back then, she hadn’t lost her sight yet.


    When An was little, he didn’t really understand what it meant for his parents to split up.


    But as time passed and he barely saw his mom, he slowly started to understand.


    Back then, he secretly asked his driver to take him to see her many times, but she rarely agreed to meet him. Most of the time, he just went home feeling sad and let down.


    One day, when he finally saw her again, she was holding onto another man’s arm, looking happy and radiant.


    “Mom, can I have a hug?” He remembered reaching out with his little arms on his birthday, hoping for even a small hug from her. But she didn’t give him one. Worse, she didn’t even remember it was his birthday.


    That day, his heartpletely shattered.


    His dad got stricter after that and didn’t let the driver take him to see her anymore. So for the next couple of years, he didn’t see her at all.


    Remembering all this, An felt his throat tighten.


    ???????????????? ???? ????????: ??????????ν??????﹒?????


    “No matter what, you’re still my mom, and I’ll always call you that. Today is a big deal for me. I married the woman I love. If you’re here to give us your blessings, I’ll be happy. But if you’re here to cause trouble, then you shouldn’t havee.”


    Trudy didn’t even look at him. She just walked right past the tables and stopped in front of Rachel.


    Rachel’s heart started racing. She wasn’t sure if she should stand up and say hello or just stay put.


    Nevertheless, Trudy spoke up first.


    “So, you’re An’s bride. What’s your name?”


    “Rachel.”


    “That’s a lovely name for a lovely girl.”


    Rachel quickly stood up.


    “Oh, um, thank you.”


    Since they had never met before, Rachel wasn’t sure what else to say.


    Luckily, An stepped in just then.


    “Mom, what’s going on?”


    Trudy’s tone sharpened.


    “Calm down. I know exactly what I’m doing.”


    Rachel suddenly felt something cold against her wrist. She nced down and saw a bracelet.
