Making Compromises for Love

Dressed in black, I arrived at the Terry's house on time.

I was not surprised at all when I saw the Terry family surrounding Katelyn.

After all, Katelyn, who came from the scholarly family, had always been the one that the Terry family favored.

"Kate, that's exactly the birthday gift I want. We really have a tacit understanding!"

Jaclyn Terry, Darrell's elder sister held onto Katelyn's arm intimately as she continuously threw meaningful glances at Darrell.

"Look at my silly brother. He's just looking at Kate and smirking. He just forgot anything else!

"In my eyes, you should get a divorce as soon as possible and marry Kate. After that, you can stare at her every day!

"Then you two will have a lovely baby!"

The Terry family all agreed with Jaclyn's words.

I watched coldly as they planned on using the cheapest method to get rid of me, their burden, and welcomed another woman marrying into their family.

During the whole process, Darrell did not stop the conversation, and even smiled happily.

Katelyn was the first to notice me standing at the door.

"Carolyn, you're really late!"

When Jaclyn heard it, her face immediately darkened as she accused me.

"Carolyn, it's my birthday today. It's okay if you're late, but why are you dressed in these?"

Darrell also asked me with a cold face.

"Answer it! Jaclyn is talking to you! You don't have to attend today's birthday party. Alicia will stay!"

He looked behind me but didn't see Alicia.

"Where's Alicia?"

I stared at him coldly and vented the resentment in my heart.

"I'm afraid it's too late to care about Alicia now!"

My sarcastic words annoyed Darrell.

"Answer my questions now! If you can't, you can shut your mouth forever!

"I just missed a graduation trip. Alicia has been a good girl, so she can definitely understand me. Don't ruin my image in front of her!

"You've been living such a comfortable life at home and playing around with my money. Now you're so aggressive in front of me.

"Hurry up and call Alicia over. I'm really worried about her future since you're such an unqualified mother!"

Darrell's attitude determined the attitude of the Terry family toward me.

Once, he risked his life to protect me. Even if the Terry family was dissatisfied with me, at least they showed respect to me on the surface.

Now, he insulted me mercilessly, so more than a dozen people of the Terry family were easy to scorn at me.

But I was no longer the submissive woman.

I sneered and said to everyone with tears in my eyes.

"Take it easy. Alicia is already here."

After hearing my words, someone ran out of the door to look for Alicia, but there was no sign of her.

There were a lot more unbearable discussions.

Darrell, who felt embarrassed, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Carolyn, how dare you embarrass me here! Sign this divorce agreement and get lost! From now on, Alicia will be raised by me!"

Looking at the divorce agreement that had been prepared long ago, I didn't feel sad. Instead, I was excited.

When I was absent-minded, Claire Foster, Darrell's mother thought that I was reluctant to divorce. She rolled her eyes and mocked me.

"You didn't expect that you would end up like this, did you? I've already told you that you're not worthy of my son!"

I just ignored her, turned straight to the last page, and signed my name.

Claire seemed to have waited for this moment for many years. She clapped her hands excitedly.

"Guards, throw her out!"

These people couldn't wait any longer!

Meanwhile, Darrell had already called Alicia.

Unfortunately, Alicia's phone rang in my bag.

The ringtone was Alicia's singing. The moment I heard the familiar voice, I couldn't help crying again.

Darrell finally realized that something was wrong.

"Carolyn! Where is Alicia?"

I took out the posthumous photo and death certificate from my bag and put them on the table.

"She... is here!"
