Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 476

Watching Claire walk slowly toward Adah, Mr. Tempest’s brow furrowed in concern, while Mrs. Tempest’s eyes shone with unshed tears.

Adah, on the other hand, was so overcome with excitement that she hardly knew what to do with herself.

“Claire, have you finally come around? Are you ready to come home with Mom?” she asked eagerly.

“I knew it. My sweet girl would never abandon her mother,” she added, her voice trembling with emotion.

Claire looked up at her, her expression cool and detached. “Kneel down,” she said quietly.

Adah blinked, caught off guard. “Kneel down?”

Claire nodded. “Yes. Kneel down. There are a few things I want to say to you.”

Adah hesitated. Something about Claire’s demeanor felt off—she didn’t seem at all like someone ready to reconcile. Still, Adah sank slowly to her knees, anticipation flickering in her eyes. “What is it, darling? What do you want to tell Mommy?”

Claire leaned in closer.

Seeing her daughter draw near, Adah’s heart nearly burst with joy. She even shot a triumphant glance at Mr. and Mrs. Tempest, as if to say, See? This is a mother’s bond. No matter how long we’ve been apart, Claire still longs for my love—just like she did in our past life.

Mr. and Mrs. Tempest exchanged an uneasy look. They truly cherished Claire, loving her as if she were their own. Yet now, with her birth mother’s sudden appearance, Claire seemed to gravitate back to her. Was it simply because they hadn’t spent enough time with her? Was their bond not as deep as they’d hoped?

The couple’s hearts tightened with anxiety, fearing that Claire might choose to leave them after all.

Adah beamed at her daughter. “What is it, sweetheart? What do you want to tell Mom?”

Claire pressed her lips close to Adah’s ear and whispered, so quietly that only the two of them could hear, “Adah, did you really think you were the only one who came back from the dead?”

Adah’s body went rigid. She stared at Claire, disbelief etched across her face.
