The female supporting role in Quick Wear fell in love at first sight again

Mrs. Whitt brought them to the ladies. The one in the lead, Josephine, was blonde and tall. She wore a red velvet corseted dress that trailed the floor and had striking red lips. Because the dress was too long, Mrs. Josephine carefully held up the hem of her black embroidered rose lace dress in her hands.

Both hands were wearing black lace gloves, and the other hand was holding a goblet. When she saw Mrs. Whitt, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Ellie, I thought you wouldn't come today. I invited you several times before, but you were unwilling to show up. How come you are interested in coming to my tea party today?"

Mrs. Whitt's lips curled up into an apologetic smile. "Thank you for your persistent invitation, otherwise I wouldn't have gone out."

Josephine patted her shoulder soothingly with a gloved hand.

"It's okay. I understand you. We're both mothers who've lost children. If I didn't have a child myself, I'd probably be like you, staying in the house and not wanting to come out. By the way, Ellie, didn't you tell me you wanted to adopt a child? Do you have a suitable candidate? Do you need me to help you find one?"

Mrs. Whitt smiled bitterly and shook her head. "After you advised me that day, I thought about adopting a child. Having a child to rely on would help me stop my wild thoughts. But I went to the Angel Orphanage and found that the children there looked well-behaved and obedient, but they always made me feel like puppets."

"It's normal for children to be lively and active, and it's their nature to be naughty. But the children I met in the orphanage were all very polite, and the smiles on their faces seemed to be professionally trained. It made me feel very uncomfortable."

Mrs. Whit's words made Josephine smell something unusual, but she didn't want to dig deeper on this occasion.

"Ellie, you're just too suspicious. Who says everyone has a lively personality? Everyone has different faces. Even children can be lively or quiet. You're overthinking it."

After Josephine finished speaking, she thought the topic would end there, but who would have thought that one of these ladies had previously adopted a child from the Angel Orphanage, and she agreed with Mrs. Whitt's words.

"Now that you mention it, I find it a little strange. We once saw a child at the Angel Orphanage. He was very obedient and sensible. I liked him very much at the time. But after bringing him home for a while, I discovered that he had some mental issues."

The lady who was speaking paused for a moment, then continued, "At night, the child would scream and cry uncontrollably. No matter how we tried to comfort him, it wouldn't stop. It got worse and worse, so we had no choice but to send him back to the orphanage. Some time later, I couldn't bear it any longer and went to visit him. Director Catherine told me something had happened to the child and he was dead."

"I was shocked at the time. Less than a month after sending the child back, something happened to him. It was such a coincidence. But Director Catherine was very sincere. I thought about it and no longer had any doubts. After Mrs. Whitt's words today, I also felt that there was something wrong with the children in this orphanage."

Mrs. Whitt nodded and said, "Yes, I was planning to adopt one, but then I felt something was not right, so I gave up the idea."

Josephine noticed Anna next to Mrs. Whitt. She guessed the purpose of her coming here today from Mrs. Whitt's words. She had invited her several times before, but she was not interested. She must have a purpose for coming here today.

But she didn't want to discuss too many irrelevant topics at today's tea party. Today's tea party was specially held for her eldest son's campaign. Since Mrs. Whitt wanted her help, she had to show sincerity.

"Ellie, won't you introduce this lady to us?"

Mrs. Whitt glanced at Anna, then introduced her to everyone: "This is Miss Anna from the VON family. She is a good friend of mine. I brought her here today to say hello to everyone."

Anna held the hem of her skirt with one hand, placed the other on her chest, and bowed gracefully to everyone.

Seeing that she was so sensible, Lady Josephine felt relieved. As a lady of the VON family, she had a respectable status. She had thought about making friends with the ladies of the VON family before, but old nobles like the VON family were inevitably conservative. She was afraid that it would not be easy to get along with them, so she gave up this plan.

The fact that Mrs. Whitt took the initiative to bring in the VON family today was a gimmick for today's tea party. The reputation of the VON family is obvious to all. Currently, no family can surpass the VON family, which has been glorious for thousands of years. Such an old noble family can give a great boost to her son's election.

Josephine smiled affectionately and took Anna's hand. "Oh, so you are a lady from the VON family. Excuse me, I have met your mother a few times before, but I haven't seen you much."

Anna had a proper smile on her face. Lady Josephine came up and tested her identity. As expected, she was a politician who would test the waters before diving in.

"I'm married and currently living abroad. It's normal that my wife hasn't met me. It's my honor to be able to attend her tea party today."

Josephine touched Taoyao's head and said, "This is your daughter, what a pretty girl. The boy is also very handsome. He is worthy of being a child raised by the VON family. He looks like an old duke."

Mrs. Whit glanced at Anna and signaled her with her eyes to get to the point.

Anna received the signal and sighed with a look of loss.

"Ma'am, you're joking. I'm not a qualified mother. I couldn't even protect my own child. If it weren't for me, my daughter wouldn't be sitting in a wheelchair."

Anna started to cry as she spoke. Taoyao saw how devoted she was in the performance and cooperated with her sensibly.

"Mom, I'm fine. You're the best mom in the world. I don't blame you."

The ladies present were all married with children. Mothers can empathize the most, especially mothers who have experienced the pain of losing a child. Seeing such a touching scene, they would inevitably be moved.

Mrs. Whitt supported the crying Anna and said, "Anna, you can't be blamed for this. It's not your fault. No mother wants to see her child hurt. At least your baby can still be with you, but my child."

After Mrs. Whitt finished speaking, tears began to flow. The scene fell into silence for a moment, and a faint sadness enveloped everyone's heart.

Several ladies couldn't bear to watch and came over to comfort them.

"Alas, everyone has children, and we all know this kind of pain. If my child were hurt, I would want to kill the bad guy to vent my anger."
