Chapter 244 Mrs Lopez Advise
She stared down at her mother. In her eyes, she could see so much curiosity in them.
"Go on Audrey, I am listening," Mrs Lopez urged her after seeing her daughter's hesitant look.
[Although I hate her right now, seeing how she was hell-bent on protecting him and his identity even from me, I will do the silly girl this last favour and conceal his identity from others. This is the last thing I can do for her]
The angry lady looked away from her mother's curious face. She sat back down on the couch beside her mother.
[I can see she is hell-bent on protecting her best friend until the end even though she is furious at her… this is what I love about the girl's friendship]
Mrs Lopez adjusted the way she sat so that all her attention was focused on Audrey.
"Is the reason you are so furious and went as far as ripping her portraits just because she deceived you…,"
"Mum, do you also think I am overreacting?" Audrey questioned standing up from the couch for the second time.
"Of course not," Mrs Lopez said. She reached out her hand and pulled Audrey back on the chair.
"Although I know you have a bit of a temper, I am also aware that you are not unreasonable. You must be acting this way because you are deeply hurt by what she did right?" Mrs Lopez asked while looking at Audrey's angry eyes.
"You have every right to be angry and I am in support of you for this but can you answer my question first…," Mrs Lopez trailed her gaze not moving from Audrey's face.
"What's that?" Audrey asked. She sounded a bit more relaxed than she was before her mother started talking to her.
"There is one thing I don't understand. Are you mad at Joanna because she lied to you or because she didn't trust you enough and resorted to lying to you due to her lack of trust?" Mrs Lopez questioned meekly.
Despite that Mrs Lopez's question was simple Audrey couldn't come up with a response immediately.
[Of course I am mad at her because she didn't trust me enough to share her problems with me... Did she think I would make things difficult for them if I knew the truth?]
Mrs Lopez was patient enough to give her enough time to think about her question but Audrey still didn't utter a word even after making her mother wait for three minutes.
"Since childhood, you girls always do things together. You get along more than real siblings do. You girls share everything and never keep a secret from each other so I can understand why you are so furious that she chose not to trust you this time around…," Mrs Lopez paused.
She extended her hands and held Audrey's hands lying on her thighs.
She gave a gentle squeeze to it before she continued.
"It took you ladies so many years to build your friendship to where it is now, are you sure you want something as trivial as this to come in between you?" Mrs Lopez asked.
Yeah, she was so against Joanna and Audrey being so close to each other. After the drift between her and her daughter, she has come to terms with the fact that her daughter cherishes her friendship more than anything.
As a mother what she can do is ensure that her daughter is happy at all times. She has learnt her lesson to want to repeat the same things she did in the past.
"But Mum…,"
"As I said, you have the right to get angry for what she did so don't get me wrong that I am taking her side ok," Mrs Lopez stressed to make sure that there was no further misunderstanding.
"The point I am trying to make is that you shouldn't be angry with her for a very long time because it's gonna cause a strain in your friendship. It took you ladies so long to build this bond to where it is, don't let your anger make you lose what really matters," Mrs Lopez advised. She caressed Audrey's cold hands lovingly.
Mrs Lopez continued staying with Audrey for a long time. She made sure Audrey feels much better.
"Audrey, your home is a mess. Apart from that, I am also afraid that you will not be able to get a wink of sleep if you stay here so why don't you spend the night with us huh?" Mrs Lopez suggested meekly.
There was so much hope in her eyes as she waited for Audrey's reply.
"It's also fine if you don't…,"
"Ok, I will come with you," Audrey agreed to her mother's bewilderment.
She stood up from the couch and moved to the main entrance.
Mrs Lopez stared at her daughter like she was some stranger she just met.
She only made that suggestion because she was worried about her. Never in her wildest imagination did she think that Audrey would agree so quickly to her suggestion.
Audrey glanced behind her when she didn't feel her mother's presence behind her.
"Let's go. I don't want to spend another minute here," She said. She resumed walking out of the room without waiting for her mother.
…
In front of the tall hotel Amos was reluctant to leave the moody lady alone especially when he knew what her family were capable of.
None will be there to comfort her, instead, they will make her sadder.
"You can go now. I will be fine. It's a promise," Joanna faked a smile as she waved at him to start going.
"I will go but I promise I will be waiting for you here very early in the morning," Amos said while waving at her.
[For the past days I have been trying my best to keep him by my side. I have been yearning to have his attention to myself like it was in the past and now I have it. Why don't I feel thrilled about it… Should I forget everything and be happy that the quarrel with my best friend gave me what I couldn't get no matter how hard I tried]
Looking at his waving hand and smiling face made Joanna have mixed feelings. She turned and approached the large black door.
