Chapter 1371


    Chapter 1371 Thomas''s face was still fair and handsome, and even the buzz cut could not hide his youth and elegance.


    When Ruth looked at him, he quirked his lips at her and said in a gentle voice, “Mom, you''re here.”


    Ruth swiped a hand under her nose and looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Thomas, how have you been doing here these


    past few years?”


    “Let''s sit down and talk.” He gestured to her. It was very different from his cold and aloof behavior from the past. Now, whether it


    was his appearance or actions , he was very gentle and mild in temperament.


    Ruth sat across from him and stared at him intently.


    Thomas smiled faintly at her. “I came here of my own vition.”


    Ruth was stunned.


    “I''ve done many things to hurt them. Grandma became a vegetable, Sylvia suffered from depression, and there were many


    other bad things that I''ve done,” he said calmly. “I wanted to atone for my sins, so | came here.”


    If he did not want to be imprisoned , he would have had hundreds of ways to escape a few years ago.


    Ruth gnashed her teeth in anger. “Y—You — Is Sylvia even worth it? What''s so great about her?”


    “She''s perfect.”


    Ruth was so angry that her chest felt suffocated. “Eleven years ago, if you hadn''t been reluctant to join Carter Corporation to


    help me, | wouldn‘t have lost to Odell, and we wouldn''t have been separated for so many years! At that time, Odell had no


    feelings for Sylvia. If we had seized Carter Corporation , Sylvia might have been your wife by now!”


    Thomas pursed his lips. “Mom, Grandpa gave Carter Corporation to Odell.”


    “You''re also a descendant of the Carter family. Why can''t you take over thepany?”


    He revealed an apologetic look. “It''s my fault. | failed to meet your expectations of me.”


    The fire in Ruth''s head instantly fizzled out.


    Her son had never been close to anyone since he was a child, including her, his own mother. He had only said a few words to


    her since he was a child and had never spoken such heartfelt words before.


    Ruth wiped her tears and sighed. “Thomas, | really want to take over Carter Corporation for you. You''re my only child. | only want


    the best for you!”


    “| know you''re doing this for my own good, but | never wanted all that.”


    Ruth subconsciously asked, “Then, what do you want?”


    “| just want her to be happy.”


    Ruth choked up.


    Thomas''s brown eyes looked at her again, and he said in a light and calm voice, “Now, | want you to be well, too.”


    Ruth was stunned.


    He smiled. “Mom, I''ve already let go of all that, so you should too. | still have some assets abroad that | have entrusted to my


    lawyers abroad. They''ll contact you in a few days. That money is enough to clothe and feed you for the rest of your life.”


    Ruth‘s eyes tinged red, and tears could not stop flowing out. “Thomas, you...”


    ‘He cares so much about me and even made arrangements for me in the future. Just what exactly made him change so much?


    “Don''t worry about me, Mom. I''m doing well here. Everyone here respects me, and I''m behaving well, so I''ll get out in a few


    years. I''ll go abroad to find you then.”


    Since he spoke to this point, there was nothing else Ruth could say. She choked up and responded , “Okay, okay.”


    “| don''t want anything to happen to you again. After you leave Westchester, wait quietly for me abroad, okay?”


    “Yes, | will.”


    “Don''t think about the past anymore either, alright?”All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    “Okay. I''ll listen to you.”


    Thomas smiled.


    Ruth wiped her tears while smiling at him as well.


    Just then, an officer came up and politely reminded them, “Time’s up.”


    Thomas stood up and said to her before turning around,” Wait for me, Mom.”


    Ruth responded with a smile, “Yes. I''ll always wait for you.”
