Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison

Chapter 485 Selena’s Depression

She’d forgotten about it, but thinking about it, Ivan knew a lot of people too. Putting his connections

onto helping with investigating those people’s current whereabouts might turn something up.

Ivan promised to do so and left, and Georgia pulled up a chair, sitting down on the second floor

balcony.

Below the stairs in the garden, the adults played with the children, with occasional laughs ringing out.

Robert carried Wesley one moment, Annie another, then ran around with the children, and even played

innocent games of tag, and Georgia watched on, suddenly laughing.

She’d always wanted this rare peace and happy life.

She had this peace and happiness already.

Watching the children play with the adults for a while, Georgia turned and went back to the office

computer, downloading all the data Antonio had sent over. Putting on glasses, she started analyzing

each piece of data and summarizing them in forms.

In that instant, she was brimming with confidence, finding the strength to revive completely.

This was her home. This was her family. Her husband. Her children.

They were playing without worries, so what reason did she have to waste away?

Even the doctors in hospitals had their last struggle, their last golden thirty seconds, not letting a single

chance slip by.

She still had so much time and so many opportunities. Why waste the chance fate gave her?

Smiling, Georgia busied herself before the computer. At ten or so at night, the kids tired out and

washed and slept.

Georgia didn’t drown herself in work, bathing the kids with Robert and telling them bedtime stories, with

one storybook each in their hands.

“Mommy, did the little mermaid get a happy ending? Why does it feel so sad?”

Annie frowned.

Georgia thought of the ending to the story she’d read when she was little. She often sorrowfully

wondered why the prince would never know that it was the mermaid who saved him in the beginning.

Why couldn’t there be a happy ending? Georgia had thought about it a lot, and it was also why she’d

never forgotten the little mermaid after all the fairy tales she’d read.

That wasn’t a satisfying ending, and now that she was telling the story to her daughter, even Wesley

was looking at her all sad, which somewhat amused her.

“The ending gets different interpretations by different people. Some people think it’s sad. Other people

think the little mermaid’s soul is forever. But Mommy wants to tell you that, when the little mermaid was

chasing after love, she lost too much. Loving someone isn’t wrong, and chasing after someone isn’t

wrong either. But while chasing after someone, it’s not okay to get yourself hurt, and hurt others around

you too. Still, if someone can do anything with no regrets for love, that’s admirable too. When you grow

up and experience it, you’ll understand. Mommy can’t explain it properly right now.

“For some sacrifices, it’s never about if it’s worth it, but if you’re willing.”

“What are you doing talking about such deep topics? She couldn’t possibly understand.”

Robert chuckled at the side, to which Annie protested.

“Daddy, I hate it when you adults say we kids don’t get it and don’t understand.”

Robert hurriedly surrendered.

“Daddy was wrong. Our little princess is the smartest, and understands everything.”

Afterwards, Robert turned worrisomely to Annie. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“You’re Daddy’s little princess, you know. If you like some brat afterwards, it’ll be a lot of effort. Daddy’s

going to find you all sorts of handsome and capable boys and get you to know them better. Don’t

devote yourself to one path alone. I don’t want you to fall in love with someone who’ll never look back

at you.”

As Robert said that, Georgia gripped his hand, chuckling.

“Really, enough with the worries. We must be the trashiest parents in the world, talking about fairy tales

like this.

“All right, it’s late, and the stories are over. It’s time to bed down, Annie and Wesley.”

Georgia spoke gently but firmly to the children. Annie covered herself in the sheets, still longing, and

turned off the bedside lamp.

Wesley also laid down. They had two little beds. Because they weren’t sleeping with adults and they

were still young, they had two little beds in the bedroom, and they would be less afraid sleeping

together, fostering their sibling relationship as well.

Wesley didn’t turn off his lamp yet, though, and laid in bed, talking to Georgia and Robert.

“Auntie Georgia, Daddy, if a girl was by my side and I could tell that she liked me, but I liked someone

else, I would tell her seriously so she didn’t waste it on me.”

“Wesley has the right idea. You’re smart and a good kid.”

Georgia praised, then turned off the lights and left the room with Robert.

The two went hand in hand to their bedroom, and Robert asked, amused.

“Do you agree with the little mermaid’s actions or not?”

“I felt like it wasn’t worth it for her, because the prince never loved her. But is love about worth? It’s

always been about paying it forward without regrets. If it can be measured by worth, it’s not love.”

“Do you ever regret falling for me? I might not have my past memories, but I know I hurt you once.”

Robert grabbed Georgia’s hand and asked gently.

“I fell for you because you saved me without hesitation, protecting me even if you got hurt yourself. I

won’t find another person willing to go so far for me, and I never regretted it.”

That had Robert overjoyed and he hugged his wife to him.

“How about we give brother and sister another sibling? Do you want another girl, or another boy? I

want another little princess. I’d feel like the happiest man alive.”

“Your body’s like this and you still want to have children?”

Georgia said hollowly, while Robert picked her up, chuckling, and carried her to bed.

“You’re doubting your husband’s capabilities? If I don’t prove you wrong today, my manly pride would

be shattered!”

After that, the two got under the covers, laughing.

The next morning, Robert told Georgia that Selena had been taken home and nothing else had

happened.

Knowing that Jasper had backed out of the competition, the opponents had wised up and brought

Selena back.

“That’s all well and good, but how is Selena doing? Is she hurt?”

“Of course they didn’t dare do anything to Selena, otherwise the Hollands would come down on them,”

That made sense to Georgia. The Hollands weren’t alone and they had all sorts of friends.

If they got together, they could crush their rival at any time.

But at a time like this, their rival was still running the risk, which proved that it was life or death for them,

and they couldn’t be concerned over their relationship with these few families anymore. At least not the

Holland family, the Simpson family, and the Murphy family.

It was famous throughout D City how close they were to each other.

“Selena is showing symptoms of depression right now. The doctors checked. It’s mild right now, but if

the child continues to go missing, it could worsen.”

“The child was taken from the Holland family, so why isn’t there even a peep on them? With the

Holland family connections and yours and all the people we’ve found to help, how couldn’t there be a

single clue, and not a bit of news? We don’t even know if he’s dead or alive.”

Georgia said a bit furiously. She understood how Selena felt.

If someone had taken her child, Georgia might have fought with her life against them.

But they didn’t even know who they were and they’d just vanished like that without a trace. The longer

they waited, the deeper their despair, which was the part that broke them.
