Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1196

Her single moment of indulgence had filled her with crippling guilt toward Nathan. After getting pregnant, she bent over backward to make it up to him.

But she had never, in her wildest nightmares, anticipated that he would swap the babies.

"Colin, Natalie was just here. She wants nothing to do with us anymore. She said she forgave me, but she only said it to get me off her back. Deep down, she hasn't forgiven me at all." Wendy looked up at the overcast sky, her voice thick with sorrow. "If Nathan hadn't swapped her out back then, your sister would have been the most cherished little princess in our family."

It was all because of that bastard Nathan that she and her daughter were forever estranged.

She hadn't cared who the father was. What was done was done, and she refused to live in regret. The child in her womb was hers, and she had never intended to treat her any differently. Back then, she had desperately prayed for a girl.

Knowing that Natalie's biological father was someone else had only made her pour even more love into her daughter after she was born. She constantly drilled it into her four sons' heads that they had to fiercely protect their only sister.

She had never once rejected Natalie for not being Nathan's child.

So why had everything fallen apart later?

It was because Natalie's return had disrupted the blissful, peaceful illusion of her home.

It dragged up the past. The daughter she had meticulously raised for twenty years wasn't her own blood.

That was a jagged pill to swallow. And with Joanna constantly framing Natalie, Wendy had been manipulated into believing her biological daughter was a bad seed—a jealous, bitter girl who would do anything for attention. Looking back, Joanna's petty tricks had been so glaringly obvious.
