Nelly left the fighting gym where she usually trains.

Coach Snee didn't show up for the past two days. She asked the staff at the fighting gym, and they said that the coach had taken leave, but he was supposed to come over to teach Nelly today, but he still didn't show up.

Although it is said to be a class, now it is more like a competition of fighting skills. At first, Neely still used all her strength to fight with Coach Snee, but she found that her physical strength increased rapidly with every battle, far more than

I usually grow faster.

Fortunately, she discovered it quickly, so she could try to control her strength, but even so, she almost hurt the coach with a heavy blow several times.

In fact, what Nelly really wants to learn is how to use an axe, but finding a teacher who is good at it and can teach others how to use an axe is not an easy task.

It was impossible for her to ask her mother to arrange for someone to teach her how to practice axe. Her mother would not agree.

If her mother knew she was addicted to this strange ax, she would definitely ask Nelly to return it.

Even if Nelly told her mother, what Hevin said about "choice" and "qualification" would be of no use.

She originally gave this to Nelly so that the Ax of Mortavi could protect her daughter, at least that's what Rebecca thought she thought.

But after listening to Hevin's words and recalling the time spent with Mortavi's Ax, Nelly felt inexplicably that Rebecca would give him the ax because Mortavi's Ax made a choice and used it.

In its own way, it informed Rebecca's choice.

It was also because she didn't want her mother to return her attention to the ax again, so she chose to practice close combat first, and also took this opportunity to exercise her body.

Nelly is now heading to the Taylor Mansion, which is now her home.

One thing Nelly always remembers is that she has not always lived here.

She dare not forget the past.

So she was unwilling to forget everything Hewen had done for them.

She wanted to go to Hewen and tell him:

"My mother wants me to stay away from you because she is afraid that you will bring me danger, but I actually don't mind at all, and I am grateful for everything you have done for me."

But even if he understood exactly what he meant, he would still choose to respect his mother's decision in order not to embarrass himself.

But this is unfair.

She can't put the pressure on Hewen. Her mother's opinions should be borne by her. Hewen only needs to make the choice he wants, whether he has no contact with them anymore, asks for due remuneration, or no longer

It is his right to take a few steps toward them.

He shouldn't do these things with shackles.

But life is never simple.

Nelly knew that her mother was only worried about herself, worried about herself from many aspects, worried that she would be in danger, and worried that she would follow her old path.

Nelly can understand, but never agrees.

Life has never been simple, but there are some things that are insurmountable. It is precisely because people have to abide by these things that life is so difficult.

Jimmy struggles with the shadow of his father's death, Rebecca struggles with the worry of losing her loved ones, and Nelly is unable to do anything that crosses her own bottom line.

Her standards of right and wrong have been fluctuating with her understanding of the world, but there is no doubt that she now believes that it is wrong to drive away kind people with indifference like her mother did.

Now that power has become Rebecca's confidence, she can look at Hevin with a more rational and superior gaze, rationally thank him for his kindness, and at the same time rationally keep him away.

Nelly can't do it.

If you can't do it, you just can't do it.

It's not that she wants to criticize her mother's behavior. She has already paid too much for this family. Rebecca has never been the kind of woman who is greedy for wealth, otherwise she would not have eloped with Ogden back then.

Rebecca had never complained about her not-so-rich life for so many years, but when Ogden died, she had lost her choice and had no clue, so she could only return to Wharton.

Old Lord Taylor had been waiting.

Over the years, he had been waiting for his daughter to change her mind, and in the end, he did win.

If Rebecca was alone, she would never return to this place even after Ogden died, but Nellie needs to go to college, and Jimmy also needs to get a good education.

The money Ogden left behind might be able to support her for a while, but in the end, she would definitely not be able to survive.

Rebecca came here for her children.

When Nelly met Marquis Taylor for the first time, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

But soon, the old man smiled and took Nellie and Jimmy's hands to greet them, just like an ordinary kind old man, chatting amiably with his relatives.

Finally, the old Marquis also took his mother's hand.

The two of them talked a lot, from their lives over the years, from interesting things when they were young, to their unspeakable longings.

And where they couldn't see, the two talked about many things.

Since then, my mother has changed a lot.

This is how people are. They are constantly changing and adapting to new environments.

My mother smiles more often, but her sincere smiles are much less than before.

She had to worry a lot more, how to maintain her dignity in front of other nobles and prevent them from laughing at her for finally returning to the family.

When a person does something that everyone wants to do but dare not do, it will inevitably "offend" some people.

Those who have been restricted by rules, and even over time, because they know that they cannot fight against the rules and regard the rules as truth, will hate those who break the rules.

Because she defied their truth with her actions.

The more Nelly knows how much her mother has sacrificed for her, the less willing she is to hurt her.

She didn't want to disappoint her mother, and she couldn't do anything to apologize to Hewen.

Nellie couldn't see a clear path forward.

This is reality. Sometimes the two parties to the conflict are not wrong in principle, but they are independent individuals and will make their own actions.

Both Hevin and Rebecca are very important to Nelly. Most people would choose to sacrifice half of them when they encounter conflicts.

That's the less important half.

But Nelly can't do it.

She is a very weak person and there are many things she cannot do.

She couldn't live up to her mother, she couldn't live up to Hewen, and she couldn't give up in the face of problems.

The road ahead remains unclear.

But she must move on.

Even if there are many difficulties and the haze covers the sun, she will just keep moving forward despite the sandstorm.
