Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back novel Chapter 66

Liesel couldn't stay calm anymore. Though young at the time, she remembered Heather's elegance and beauty. She recalled her exquisite face that shone so brightly.

Heather loved fashion dearly. Even before she passed, she made this gown just so she could leave with dignity.

This was the last thing her mother made with her own hands. Something so precious wasn't meant to be sullied by someone like Natalie, a bug who should be living in the shadows!

"Take it off." Liesel's hand tightened around Natalie's neck. She was using all her strength.

"Take it off!" She gritted her teeth as she enunciated each word.

Liesel's eyes were red and misty. They were filled with hatred as she stared at the woman before her.

"Even if you're stupid, you must know what this dress means to me. I don't care about other things like Jeffrey's love, Jacob's affection, or even the title of Mrs. Ford. I can give it all to you! But you must take this dress off!"

Liesel's vision blurred, and she could almost see Heather reaching out to her. "Lili, am I that useless? I guess I'm just a useless person."

Heather's face wore a faint smile, but her eyes glistened with tears. "I failed to protect the Mallone family, failed to keep a man. I couldn't even hold onto my own child. I failed at everything… Lili, don't be like me, okay?"

Liesel's body trembled, and she bit her lip hard. "Natalie, I already let you have Jacob, didn't I?"

Her voice quivered. "Take it off. Take off the dress!"

She needed the dress to be returned to her undamaged. This dress was her last connection to Heather.

Had she had enough?

"Do you think I'm making a scene?" Liesel sat on the ground and suddenly laughed a soft and gentle laugh. Her eyes reddened as she looked at him.

"Jacob, did I ever make a scene in the three years I was married to you? After marrying you, I always played the elegant and graceful Mrs. Ford. At the company, I was the diligent Ms. Sharp who managed your affairs with precision.

"Two years ago, you were out dining, shopping, and spending time with other women from wealthy families. I knew about it all, but did I ever make a scene, Jacob?"

Her eyes crinkled, but she was overwhelmed by a tide of sorrow that consumed her inside. "To you, Natalie is always innocent, while I am just making a scene and being unreasonable, right?"
