Chapter 746 You Are My Mom, She Doesn't Deserve It! "I've raised you for so long, always with all my heart, treating you like my own daughter. You've met Debra..." Isabella quickly interrupted her, "No, no, I don't acknowledge her. I only acknowledge you. You raised me, taughtto read and write, and understand the ways of the world. You are my mom! She isn't, she doesn't deserve it!" This was truly Isabella's heartfelt words.
Even if she died, she wouldn't want to recognize a homewrecker as her mom! She would rather be the adopted daughter of the Mitchell family than admit to being the illegitimate daughter of the Mitchell family! Being Nicole's adopted daughter sounded much better and more respectable than being Debra's biological daughter! Hearing Isabella's words, Nicole felt both touched and saddened.
"Isabella, you still acknowledge me, so I didn't raise you in vain." "Mom, do you still acknowledge me?" Isabella asked, looking up, "At this point, do you still consideryour daughter? Or now that Penelope is back, do you prefer her? After all, you and she are truly mother and daughter, and I'm just an outsider." "To be honest, Isabella, in my heart, both you and Penelope are my daughters. I don't differentiate between biological and adopted. But you've made so many mistakes." Nicole sighed repeatedly, looking helpless.

"Yes, Penelope has told me. But the consequences of your actions are too severe, Isabella. Even if I wanted to plead for you, I couldn't bring myself to do it." Hearing Nicole finally mention pleading, Isabella felt a surge of confidence.
This was the moment she had been waiting for! Isabella tightly held Nicole's hand, "No, I don't need you to plead for me, Mom. I haven't had the chance to properly repay you for raising me, so how could I let you be put in a difficult position, to humbly speak well ofin front of Penelope?" "These days, I've really wanted to see you, to say thank you for raising me. You will always be my mom. But I didn't make this request because I was too ashamed to see you. I was also afraid you'd soften and plead for me, causing friction with Penelope." "Because she and Dad have already fallen out, I can't let you and her fall out too. I have to think of you, Mom." She kept saying she didn't want Nicole to plead, didn't want to make things difficult, but in reality, Isabella was morally blackmailing her! Nicole was a soft-hearted and kind person. The more Isabella said this, the more guilty Nicole felt! Penelope stood silently by the side the whole time.
"Isabella," Nicole said, holding her hand back, "everything is fate, and I can't change it or force it. If you can think this way and not blme for not pleading for you, then I didn't raise you in vain." Isabella lowered her head, looking aggrieved, pitiful, and helpless, "How could I dare blyou?" Hearing this, Penelope couldn't hold back anymore and muttered softly, "Isn't this just two-faced?" Isabella was just pretending to be pitiful, innocent, and magnanimous! She said she didn't want Nicole to plead, but she actually wanted Nicole to plead! In the current situation, Brent's words didn't matter, Debra was powerless, and even Brandon's influence couldn't save her! Isabella could only pin her hopes on Nicole.
She deliberately spoke in a way that seemed magnanimous and understanding, not blaming or holding grudges, just to stir up Nicole's compassion.
Unfortunately, Isabella miscalculated! Nicole said, "It's good you don't blme. There's very little I can do to help you. I've said before, life's journey is long, and only you can walk the entire path. Parents, children, even lovers, can only accompany you for part of the way."

"Isabella, I'll visit you once a year from now on. This is my last bit of motherly affection for you." "When you make mistakes, you have to pay the price. Don't blanyone else; these are your own mistakes." "And," Nicole looked into her eyes, "from now on, don't call yourself Penelope's sister. Penelope doesn't like this identity and doesn't acknowledge it. I have to respect her wishes. Besides, what kind of sister is a half-sister?" Nicole wouldn't acknowledge Isabella's identity either.
If she did, it would mean accepting Debra! Isabella was completely stunned, her mouth half-open, taking a while to cto her senses.
"Mom, you..." "What's wrong, Isabella?" Isabella had the words on the tip of her tongue but swallowed them back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe never expected that her tactic wouldn't evoke any sympathy or compassion from Nicole! Nicole actually accepted her current fate and wouldn't plead for her in front of Penelope! Not only that, Nicole even told her not to call herself "sister" because it would upset Penelope! Indeed, a biological daughter was still a biological daughter, and there would always be sfavoritism! Nicole clearly loved Penelope more and didn't care about Isabella at all! As for Nicole's kind and loving demeanor, it was all an act, to ease her own conscience!

Just looking at it made her angry! Disgusting! Isabella almost couldn't keep her expression in check! "Nothing," Isabella said, "Mom, I'm already content that you'll visitevery year." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a laugh.
The laugh was particularly abrupt, especially clear in the hospital room.
The laugh cfrom Penelope! Isabella looked at her.
Nicole was also taken aback, "Penelope, you..." What was so funny, worth laughing at? She and Isabella were talking, shouldn't it be touching and emotional? "Nothing," Penelope waved her hand, "I just, I just sneezed! Yes! Sneezed!" She wouldn't admit that she couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.
Because Isabella's expression was just too funny! Like she had swallowed a fly, and could only m swallow it down, couldn't say it out loud, and couldn't spit it out! Penelope saw through Isabella's little scheme.
Isabella was clearly pretending to be understanding and filial, trying to find a way through Nicole to plead for her, to gain a glimmer of hope for herself.
