Forbidden Fruit: Mated To My Sister's Best Friend Chapter 241

Sof's Point of View

I decided to listen to Ethan and talk to my mom. I knew I needed to do this and hoped she would understand and not get upset. I decided to ask her out to dinner, just the two of us. 

"Thanks for coming to dinner with me, Mom. There is something I really wanted to talk to you about," I said

"I had a feeling there was something you wanted to say to me. I could tell by the way you have been acting lately. Is this about Ava?" My mom asked

"Yeah, part of it is about her," I replied

"Okay, what do you have to say?" My mom asked

"I don't want you to be upset. I know I promised that we would start over, and things have been going well. You have truly been changing, but I still can't stop thinking about how ever since Ava has been here, I can't stop thinking about how everything was and could have been," I said, and my mom just looked at me. She was silently waiting for me to continue.  I took a deep breath before speaking. 

"I hate how everything ended up with Ava. I know it's her fault but I fell that  you are also to blame because..."

"Because I gave her away," My mom said, and I sighed

"Yes, I know you are sorry for the decisions you made, but I feel like those decisions have affected both me and Ava. I can't help but wonder about how things could have been if you would have kept her and treated us right. Things could have been good," I said

"I know that, Sof. I wonder the same things. I wish I would have made different decisions, but I can't change the past. I know that I am to blame for how Ava ended up. I am the one that gave her to that witch without any hesitation. I know I mistreated you as well. I wish I could change that. I hate knowing that I am the reason why Ava turned out the way she did. I am her mother, and I didn't do anything for her. I gave her to the woman who brainwashed her into starting a war with you. I wish I could change that, but I can't," My mom said. Tears were coming out of her eyes as she spoke. I could tell she regretted all of it. I couldn't help the tears that came out of my eyes.

"Mom, I..."

"I hate myself for what I did. I know I made too many mistakes. I never ran away. I should have let your father know about you. I don't deserve to be you or Ava's mother. I surely don't deserve your forgiveness after everything I did. I am a terrible person."

"No, Mom. You are not a terrible person. You just made terrible choices but I can tell you have changed. I just wanted to talk to you about everything because I have been thinking about it. You are not fully to blame for Ava. She is old enough to know right from wrong, no matter what Queen Gina said to her. She came here and saw we weren't what Queen Gina said we were, but still decided to betray us. So, you can't blame yourself for that. I didn't mean to upset you. I just wanted to talk to you," I said

"I am not upset with you, Sofia. I am upset with myself. I have also been thinking about all of this, and  I wish things would have been different. I was thinking about going to see Ava, actually. I know she will be going to jail soon, but I want to talk to her. I want to apologize to her for giving her up and just talk," My mom said

"I think that is a good idea, Mom," I said

"She probably won't want to talk to me," My mom replied with a frown on her face.

"She might not want to talk to you, but I think you should still go. It will show her that you truly care," I said

"Okay, enough with all the heavy. Let's talk about how you got rid of the werewolf council. I heard they almost had a heart attack when you announced there would be no more counsel," My mom said

"Yes, I had enough of them. They always try to come here like they run things. I needed to let them know that they are not the ones in charge," I replied.

"Well, I think you did a good thing. The council has always tried to overstep ever since your grandparents were in charge. It's about time they got shut down," My mom said

My mom and I just ate and talked about things that didn't matter. I was happy I had that talk with her. It made me happy knowing I could talk to her without her getting upset like she used to. She had truly changed for the better.
