Chapter 4While My Foster Daughter Lives In Luxury, My Own Daughter Toils – And My Heart Breaks

During the day, Logan doesn't come to the birthing center.

My parents are also busy with the company, so most of the time, I'm alone!

I watch Avery Stone sleeping, feeling the urge to choke her!

A bastard is a bastard; she just can't be raised properly!

My daughter still doesn't know where she's suffering, while this bastard can lie in a premium baby crib!

Damn her!

Avery eventually wakes up and starts crying.

I know she's hungry.

In my previous life, I raised her single-handedly. When she frowned, I knew what she needed!

But I don't want to feed her!

In my previous life, I personally breastfed her. This life, I used the excuse of being unwell to refuse breastfeeding.

Logan's dissatisfied expression is hard to hide. I saw right through him!

But I ignored it.

Now, without me, Logan would be penniless.

He doesn't have the courage to express his dissatisfaction!

I refused the imported premium baby formula my parents had prepared and used cheap, regular formula instead!

I often hear the nurses secretly talking, saying that I stay at a high-end birthing center but let the baby drink regular formula. How cruel!

Hehe, I don't even want to feed her regular formula!

I let Avery cry without paying any attention.

The harder she cries, the more satisfied I feel!

A nurse knocks on the door.

I sit quietly, ignoring the knock.

I had locked the door from the inside. Only my mother has the key; others can't open it.

After a long time, Avery finally gets tired of crying and falls asleep.

But my mother rushes in, looking anxious!

"Serena, Serena, what's wrong? Why didn't you open the door?"

"I fell asleep, Mom. What's wrong?"

I rub my eyes, pretending to have just woken up.

"I received a call from the birthing center staff saying the baby was crying. You didn't open the door, which really worried me. I thought something happened!"

My mother looks at Avery.

"As long as you're okay, that's all that matters. Oh, I was so worried!"

"No, Mom, I'm fine. I just fell asleep. I didn't hear her cry. Did she cry?"

I wear a confused expression.

Avery, exhausted from crying, falls back asleep. Naturally, my mother doesn't notice anything.

"It wasn't crying anymore. Serena, have you been feeling unhappy lately?"

My mother sits by the bedside, holding my hand.

"I'm fine, Mom. What could I possibly have to worry about? Don't worry."

I squeeze my mother's hand back, smiling with ease.

A mother's intuition is unparalleled; my mother can keenly detect any abnormalities.

"As long as you're okay. If you have anything to talk about, just tell Mom. You'll always be Mom's baby!"

I feel a surge of emotion in my heart, warmth spreading from my fingertips to my core!

"Mom!"

I can't help but call out.

"Hey, I'm here!"

I'm here, such a simple phrase!

It's a pity that in my previous life, my daughter never felt the warmth of home for a single day.

"Mom, how's the company?"

I change the subject.

"The company has your dad there. What are you worried about? Don't worry!"

"That's good."

I smile and continue to ask.

"Logan, are you still the Project Manager?"

I remember that in my previous life, shortly after I gave birth, Logan was promoted by my father to Project Director.

Later, against my father's objections, I gradually made Logan take over my position as General Manager.

In my previous life, I still thought my judgment was good, believing that Logan was making the company thrive!

How blind I was!

"Yes, Logan's been doing great. Don't worry, your dad is already considering promoting him to Director!"

My mother seems to think I'm worried about Logan's work and tries to comfort me.

"No, Mom. I don't think it's urgent to promote Logan yet. Let's wait a bit. Talk to your dad first, and I'll discuss this when I get back!"

I smile. How could I possibly be in a hurry to see Logan promoted?!

I want him to stay in this position forever!

"What's wrong? Weren't you pushing your dad for a promotion earlier?"

My mother looks puzzled.

"It was because I was inexperienced before. Now that I'm a mother, I understand how hard it was for you and Dad to build this business!"

"You both started from scratch, built this foundation, and are selecting the right people. Of course, you have to consider multiple factors!"

"Serena, you've really grown up!"

My mother looks touched!
