Mother's Happiness

What would be the people's impression of her?

A loose woman?

Krishna admitted she was at fault. That night, she was careless for drowning her sorrow with alcohol alone, drinking in a bar where wolves were hunting anyone to become their prey.

Anyhow, she regrets nothing when she conceives George. He was a blessing in disguise in her life.

She was lonely, and he brought laughter to her life. Everything was dull, and suddenly everywhere was painted with rainbow colors.

At first, she honestly panicked.

But her friends had been there for her since Day 1—thus, she could not wait to go home after shooting Anna's new clothing line.

Truth to say, she only accepted the offer to protect herself if she needed to stay longer in the country.

She had no sufficient funds, as Camilla promised to shoulder her expenses. She told her she would not spend a single cent.

Indeed, she received everything for free. When she needed clothes, someone knocked on her door to deliver them. She also received a free spa and salon makeover.

Whenever she needed a stylist, she had a fairy godmother appear out of nowhere.

Until now, everything felt like a dream.

She had dined in a grand hotel and a luxurious restaurant and visited a resort with breathtaking scenery.

Now she and Camilla are having dinner in an exquisite restaurant, wearing such stunning gowns.

But all of this is not the life she dreams of. She never cares about the High Society, and everything will end soon.

She wanted to wake up to her reality, which was her peaceful life on the farm.

She had already missed her son terribly, and it was not enough just to look at his photos.

Every day, Kate sent her videos and pictures of George.

George began eating solid food. Seeing him healthy was a mother's happiness. She wanted to witness every development and share his first discoveries about this world.

Being raised by one parent, Krishna could imagine a tough life waiting for her and her son, George.

"Krishna…"

Krishna was snapped out of her thoughts when Camilla spoke. Their eyes met, and she asked coldly, "What is it?"

Camilla's red lips form a small smile as she asks, "Would you consider moving here?"

Krishna did not understand why Camilla was asking her this. She got pregnant after her fiance's first death anniversary and did not know her child's father.

Back in their town, she becomes everyone's main dish of gossip. Thus, the entire time she is pregnant, she only has peace on her ranch; therefore, she avoids going out if unnecessary.

She only went out during her prenatal and would drop by the shop after. Then, she went shopping for the baby's clothes. She wants to purchase it in advance.

Back there, she has her friends to protect and defend her from malicious people in their town.

Until then…

Camilla told her some good news. She won the lottery's first prize, a grand vacation in Asia, which she had no interest in.

But her friends urged her, more likely forcing her to take this vacation to breathe some fresh air.

In this city, no one knew her. She could walk down the street with her head high. She could have fun to her heart's content.

So maybe moving in with her son is not a bad idea. It will be easy for her to tell everyone that the father of his son has died. Maybe no one would care that much.

However, she was now working as a brand endorser. Don't netizens love to dig and gossip about someone's life?

"I don't know if that's a good idea," Krishna answered after a long while. She added, "I don't want to be separated from George."

"You can bring him here, of course." Camilla insisted that caused Krishna to be baffled.

So she explained, "No. I don't think the environment here is better than in Provence. There—it is perfect for George to grow up. Here, the noise, the traffic, the hassle, the stress I must deal with, and the expenses... It would cost me so much to support George."

"Well… Do you have a job now, right? I'm sure you and George will live comfortably." Camilla smiled meaningfully, which Krishna missed understanding its meaning.

"How would that happen? I don't have a stable job. How could I afford a beautiful house? A nanny? My work being Anna's fresh face endorser is not forever."

"You don't have to worry about that. Once they officially launch you as Anna's new ambassador, you will have more resources. She will hold a Fashion Show next month. I also heard George Graham invested in Anna's company because of you. I am confident that he will give you all you need. Just trust me, my dear Krishna."

Krishna contracted her pupils. Why does she have a bad feeling that Camilla knows something, but she, who owns this life, is oblivious to everything that happens?

Is there a secret she was hiding from her? Krishna thought so.

"How are you so sure, Camilla? Is it Florian who told you?" she asked suspiciously.

Camilla simply shrugged as she replied, "I have my ways. So you have to believe me, Krishna. You and George will be fine."

Krishna was not convinced. She could feel that Camilla was trying to point out something, but, as usual, she left it as a riddle.

'What is Camilla hiding from me? Is it only a coincidence that she urged me to come here, and my life got entangled with the Grahams? Could it be that there was a purpose she wanted me here? And now she wants me to move in here with George?'

As she mulled over and over, the more she felt a bad premonition.

"I can't rely on being a brand endorser, Camilla. I am old already. It's too late for me to become a model now, you know that." Ultimately, Krishna could not confront Camilla with the things that bothered her.

'I will stick around for more days. I may find out soon why Camilla deliberately brought me here. I don't want to think she will use me as her scapegoat for whatever she plans to do, which is illegal.'

Camilla could see how suspicious Krishna was; thus, she comforted her.

"Don't worry too much. You can be a fashion icon if you continue being an ambassador with those famous brands. It doesn't matter anymore whether you're old or young. We are living in the modern world where diversity is well received."

Krishna frowned. She understood her meaning. However, Camilla needs to remember something.

"I'm not rich enough to buy new clothes, shoes, and bags every other day to flaunt on social media," she muttered. "I'm not that famous."

Camilla stared at her, pursing her lips, then smiled when something dawned on her.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about that. You will get those things for free if you gain numerous followers. More opportunities will come to you. Remember what I've always told you? You deserve all the good things, Krishna, and it will be soon."

'It's happening already.' Camilla added, but she didn't voice it out.

Krishna frowned. "Please, stop giving me riddles. I'm not as smart as you. Besides, I didn't demand you to meet me so that we can discuss this. What I wanted to talk about is you."

"Alright." Camilla gave up. She chose not to persuade Krishna anymore since she already fell into the game she had begun. "What else do you want to know?"
