บททั้งหมดของ Married To Him Again, No More Devotion: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Chapter 72: Poor ConditionBecause she was considered a talented prospect, Sumire was also somewhat well-known among the rising child actors of recent years, so she was arranged as the first performer in line. To others, performing first was an opportunity many times better than what others had.Under normal circumstances, Sumire would have been very happy about this and full of confidence, but today, when she heard her name being called, she instead felt extremely anxious and afraid.Someone stepped out from inside the audition room and called Sumire’s name, making the girl flinch.Sumire looked around once, then turned to look for her mother, only to realize Kathy had gone somewhere at some point. Sumire sighed and clenched her hand tightly.At the moment when she felt the most uneasy, Sumire wanted to seek a little warm comfort from her mother, but in the end, she still could not have it. The girl sighed and slowly walked inside alone.The moment she entered the audition room, Sumi

Chapter 74: DisappointmentApplause rang out from inside after Lilya finished her performance, and the director’s expression was full of satisfaction.Sitting outside, Sumire nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the applause, and the confusion on her face could no longer be hidden.“What exactly happened there? How did Lilya perform?”Sumire’s mind was now filled only with confusion, as if she had already imagined a series of scenes where Lilya acted like a genius, then received endless praise, with even the strict director complimenting her nonstop.Sumire clenched her hands. The pain in her stomach twisted sharply again, so painful that she had to wrap her arms around it.“Could it be that Lilya was really chosen already? Did I fail? How disappointed will Mom be in me!”Sumire was so afraid that she wanted to run away from here immediately. She did not dare imagine what kind of expression her mother would have.At that moment, Kathy strode over aggressively with a furious ex

Chapter 76: Please, Save Me!After everything that happened today, even if Sumire did not want to believe it, she was forced to admit one truth: she would slowly die in the hands of her own parents.The father and mother she loved with all her heart were ruthlessly tightening their grip around the child they had given birth to. If Sumire continued pretending not to know, then she would be the one strangling her own life with her own hands.That painful truth was something Sumire had no choice but to face. She had to choose, either break free and save herself, or let her life shatter into pieces beneath her parents’ hands.I knew that no matter which choice she made, it would not be easy.This was the very boundary of morality that even adults could not judge easily, yet such a tiny child had to bear it.I sighed, rubbed Sumire’s head, and softly said,“I know it’s hard to choose. But I hope you understand that children have never had the duty to become a perfect version of themselves

Chapter 78: Guardianship RightsAs soon as I asked, Anessa replied,“At present, Sumire’s guardianship has been transferred to the Child Protection Association, but this is not a long-term solution. Madam, have you considered what you plan to do next?”We had pushed Kathy into the hands of the law, but Sumire’s life still had to continue.She was a genius actress. That was an undeniable fact. So I did not wish for her to abandon the career she had worked so hard to build just because of people so undeserving.Sumire’s future would face many hardships because of her parents’ mistakes. Though she had done nothing wrong, against the cruelty of public opinion, Sumire needed someone by her side to protect her.The association could only ensure Sumire’s normal development. It could not provide her with the best conditions or guide her to go further.Stripping the Maxim couple of their guardianship was only the first step. Finding the right person to become her guardian was the real long-ter

Chapter 80: Sumire’s FutureAfter we went back inside and sat down, Anessa began reporting the specific situation to me.“The police have issued a restraining order against the Maxim couple, prohibiting them from approaching Sumire until she turns eighteen. At the moment, the association is temporarily holding guardianship of Sumire, but we are required to find a new guardian or choose to place her in the association’s care facility.”Just as I had thought, if the guardianship belonged to the association, Sumire would be raised like the other orphaned children.They could only ensure that she had enough to eat, enough to wear, and could attend school normally, but they would not be able to support her dreams in any deeper way.And children living in such facilities were just like how I once lived in an orphanage, having to take care of themselves and grow up on their own.I glanced at Sumire. She looked panicked and frightened upon hearing all of this.Even though she was still young,
