Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 477

No. No, please. Don’t do this.

She hadn’t regained the memories of her previous life just to drift further and further away from Claire.

She knew she’d been wrong. In her last life, she’d paid the price for it.

Whatever she owed Claire, she’d repaid it in full—every last bit.

Suddenly, Adah threw her arms around Claire’s small frame.

“Claire, please, don’t leave Mommy. I know I was wrong. Please, forgive me, will you?”

Her sobs were messy and desperate, tears streaming down her face. The sight struck a chord with everyone around them.

“No matter what, she’s still Miss Tempest’s biological mother. And if anyone’s to blame for what happened, it’s Nathan—he’s the one who abandoned his daughter. Mrs. Linwood had nothing to do with that.”

“Exactly. Only a mother knows the pain of losing her child. I think we should let her have her daughter back.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

Whispers began to ripple through the crowd.

Mrs. Tempest felt her mind go blank. She looked at Claire, her eyes full of heartbreak and reluctance.

She wanted nothing more than to snatch Claire back right then and there. But this was, after all, Claire’s birth mother—however disastrously she’d failed at parenting, the love she showed didn’t seem fake.

Was she really about to lose her beloved daughter today?

The thought was enough to make her nose sting and her eyes fill with tears.

“Claire… come to Mommy,” she pleaded, her voice trembling with hope and fear, as if even making the request might scare Claire away.

Orion’s face flushed with anger as he glared at Adah. “You’re not a good person. Just the other day in the boutique, you tried to hurt my sister for another girl. Claire, don’t go with her!”

Claire wrenched herself free, shoving Adah so hard that Adah, caught off guard, fell backwards onto the floor.
