Autumn York suddenly turned around to look at Alice Turner who was apologizing to her. She was already dissatisfied with Alice being her daughter-in-law. Now hearing her say such things, she stubbornly believed Alice was provoking her, making the fire in her heart burn even more fiercely.
“Our mother-son relationship ended up like this all thanks to you. Don’t pretend to be compassionate in front of me like a cat crying over a dead mouse.” She glared at the person in front of her, with a look as if she wanted to devour her.
“Mom! How can you talk like that?”
Thomas Fisher couldn’t take it anymore, stepping forward to pull Alice Turner back, but he was stopped by the look in her eyes.
Alice glanced at Thomas Fisher, then turned her gaze to Autumn York, “Auntie! I know the fact that I was divorced makes it hard for you to accept, but I truly love Thomas. I will love him even more in the future so that he doesn’t regret marrying me.”
These were her true thoughts, ones she had kept inside for a long time. If it weren’t for today’s situation, she wouldn’t know when she would have been able to say it.
“I have never regretted it.”
This was the first time Thomas Fisher heard Alice Turner say such words. In such circumstances, listening to this made him heartache, but he was more moved.
The deep affection between the two made the fire in Autumn York’s heart not only not dissipate but instead grow stronger, “You two don’t regret, but I regret it! I regret giving birth to a son like you, and even more regret thinking you were a talent, wanting to recruit you for my own use.”
“Alice! Let go…”
“Don’t speak.”
Thomas Fisher was about to shout for Alice Turner to let go of Autumn York, but before he finished speaking, she interrupted him loudly.
Alice Turner’s voice was very loud, and her tone quite unpleasant. Thomas’s reaction was very calm, but Autumn York’s reaction was overly intense, “Is this how you love my son? Your love is too arrogant, isn’t it? I’m still standing beside, do you even consider me?”
Her own son could be scolded or beaten all he wanted, but others couldn’t. She simply didn’t allow anyone to speak ill of her son.
“Alice isn’t arrogant…”
“Pshh!”
Alice Turner suddenly burst out laughing, startling Thomas Fisher, making him think she was driven to foolishness by anger. He looked at her with a face full of concern.
However, Autumn York’s thought was starkly different from Thomas’s, believing Alice was deliberately trying to upset her. She glared at her in exasperation, “You appear very pleased?”
“Auntie! I’m not pleased; I’m happy.” Alice paused, before Autumn York could explode, she quickly continued: “You love Thomas, and I love Thomas too. Since both of us love Thomas, we shouldn’t be enemies. We should form an alliance, an alliance of loving Thomas.”
“Auntie! Do you agree with this? Two people loving Thomas is better than just you loving him, right?”
Seeing Autumn York rendered speechless by her words, Alice Turner continued her efforts, directly grabbing Autumn York’s hand and linking arms with her in a particularly intimate posture, with a joyful smile on her face.
When Autumn York came back to her senses, she found Alice intimately linking arms with her. She tried to shake her off but was held even tighter in place, “It’s enough for me alone to love Thomas. I don’t want to form an alliance with you.”
How could this girl’s mind work? Could she not see that she was very dissatisfied with her? Yet she shamelessly wanted to form some ridiculous alliance with her.
