Mom Finally Loved Me, But I had Forgotten Who She Was
The moment the door closed, she rained down her accusations on me without restraint.
“I warned you from the start, Serena, but you still went ahead and sabotaged Tara!”
Tara lowered her gaze, her expression one of fragile innocence.
She murmured softly, “Aunt Margaret, maybe it was an accident... Perhaps Serena just took the wrong file by mistake.”
Her words only stoked Mom’s fury further.
“How could it be a mistake? She’s clearly jealous and deliberately trying to harm you!”
I laughed at the absurdity of it all.
Mom, usually sharp and perceptive, remained willfully blind to Tara’s clumsy schemes. Her tricks were laughably transparent, yet they worked every single time.
