Maria acted as if she was a judge who was interrogating Yvonne, looking very serious, that it made Yvonne unsure of whether she should laugh or cry.
She was pretty cooperative and answered immediately, "Nothing. I simply went to the United States for about a year."
"Humph, your answer is so vague. What did you do over there?" Maria puffed up her cheeks and seemed unhappy with her answer.
Yvonne looked up at the child in a seemingly obscure way, but she quickly hid it and smiled in response. "I was working in the United States."
"You abandoned me just for work?" Maria was instantly enraged. "Are you for real? Must you abandon your young child for something like that? Was there nowhere else that you could work at? And you dare to identify yourself as my Mom?"
Yvonne felt another excruciating pain in her heart.
On the surface, though, Yvonne remained smiling as she gazed at her daughter gently. This was indeed her fault, as she had rushed everything through.
