It’s the right thing to do. I’m sure he will forgive you. Think about my advice, and your grandmother is waiting for you at home.
So decide and come to us. We are family now. You can’t hide from Chase forever.
We are all waiting for you, Clarissa, but now I need to go. The children are waiting. By the way, one more important question.
Do you regret signing away the children? Although they aren’t biologically yours, you did give birth to them. Clarissa shook her head. You’re right, they are not my children.
I realized that immediately after the birth, I didn’t feel any maternal instinct. So don’t worry, I won’t make a fuss. I have no rights to the children.
I signed them away at the hospital, and I’m very happy that you became their mom. You’re a kind and gentle person. I’m sure the kids will be happy with you.
I also hope to find my own love someday, but for now, I don’t want any children, neither mine nor others. I plan to focus on my education and find a good job. Two weeks passed, and Joan and grandma were very worried because Clarissa still hadn’t come.
Joan was very upset. She really wanted to connect and be friends with her. I knew she wouldn’t come.
She seemed very strange to me from the start. She doesn’t care about her sister or her grandmother, Chase said. But one day, someone rang the doorbell.
Joan opened the door and was surprised to see Clarissa. They hugged, and Joan, smiling, said, I’m so glad you decided to come. Let’s go.
I’ll introduce you to grandma. Clarissa looked around and noticed the three babies happily playing in a playpen. They were babbling and engrossed in their games.
Clarissa looked at the children and realized she felt nothing for them. To her, they were just cute babies, nothing more. She quietly said, wait, I want to talk to Chase first.
Where is he? Maybe he won’t allow me to stay. I’ll understand his decision. It’s my fault.
Joan led her sister to Chase’s office. He was going through financial reports. Seeing Clarissa, he frowned and took off his glasses.
Joan left the office, knowing they needed to talk things out. Clarissa spoke to him sincerely and asked for forgiveness. I know, Chase, it’s my fault.
I shouldn’t have run away from this house, but I didn’t know what to do. And your wife threatened me. She said she would find a way to get rid of me and the children if I didn’t disappear.
So I acted out of fear. Please forgive me. I know I was irresponsible.
Chase put his glasses on the table and said, I thought I would go crazy. I was so worried about the babies. God, Clarissa, why didn’t you tell me everything right away? I would have handled it with my wife.
But it’s too late to talk about that now. I’m glad everything turned out okay in the end. Joan asked me to forgive you.
So come by anytime. I don’t mind. And even though you broke the contract, I got the children.
So I want to pay you the remaining amount I owe you per our agreement. Which account should I transfer the money to? No, I refuse. I don’t need any money.
I agreed to the deal with your wife. She paid me well to leave that evening. You owe me nothing.
It wouldn’t be fair. I hope you can forgive me someday. That’s what matters most to me.
After everything that happened, I won’t want children for a long time. And I will never agree to be a surrogate mother again. It’s a huge responsibility.
I wasn’t ready for it. Chase saw that she was sincere. He approached her, extended his hand and said, I’m glad you understand that now.
I forgive you. Now go to grandma. She’s been eagerly waiting for you.
The reunion between grandma and her granddaughter was warm and emotional. They hugged and cried. Finally, Sally stopped worrying about not being able to raise Clarissa.
Then they all went to have lunch together. Joan was delighted that she now had such a big, loving family.
