Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 393

Natasha was the first to hesitate. “Eddie, maybe… maybe we should give him another chance?”

Eddie let out a heavy sigh. “What else can we do?”

“At worst, we just put everything on the line.”

“Maybe these people really do want to help.”

Wiona and Madison exchanged a glance. No matter what Jewel had done, it was impossible not to feel for her parents. Their pain was obvious, their love even more so.

Everyone sat down together.

Natasha finally spoke up. “Jewel is our only daughter. We know we spoiled her, but what else could we do? She was our whole world. We wanted her to have the best of everything. She took dance, singing, piano lessons… We raised her to be just as polished as any rich family’s daughter.”

“You’ve seen her photos. Wasn’t she beautiful, so talented?”

“I guess that’s why she grew up to be a little proud, maybe even a bit too picky. She had high standards and she kept to herself.”

“But honestly, she never really gave us any trouble.”

“When it was time for her to find a job, her father and I were worried, but she landed a nurse position at the city hospital all on her own.”

“We barely had time to be proud before she came home and told us she’d fallen in love.”

“A stable job and a relationship, all right after graduation… We thought we were the luckiest parents in the world.”

“But after that, she started coming home later and later. She stopped listening to us. Eventually, she moved out.”

“We wanted to meet her boyfriend, but she always came up with some excuse, saying he was too busy.”

“We started getting worried she was being lied to, so we tried to follow her. We just wanted to see who she was dating, nothing more.”

“But every single time, before we could even spot him, she’d catch us. Then we’d have a huge argument.”

“She said we were making her boyfriend uncomfortable, that he felt disrespected.”

“Jewel told us to stop interfering in her life. She said when it was time for them to get married, she’d bring him to meet us.”

“Tell me, what else could we think? What kind of man would keep her hidden from us? He must have tricked her, made her lose her mind.”

“So we waited… and waited. When we finally realized Jewel was acting really strange, it was already too late.”

“We brought her home, but she’d get angry for no reason, yelling and screaming at nothing. We thought she’d had some kind of breakdown. We tried taking her to see a doctor.”

“But every single time, she’d find a way to escape before we even made it to the hospital.”

“Honey, do you remember? It was a day just like this, winter, little snowflakes falling.”

“Jewel knelt down in the street, bowed her head to the ground for us, and then just… walked away, right into the snow.”

“We never saw her again after that.”

Natasha’s eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Eddie tried to comfort her. “It’s been twenty years. You still remember that?”
