Chapter 538

I nodded heavily, “Okay, I will always live here in the future, and I will always be with my mother.”

“Later… later…”

My mother hugged me, whispering these two words, her voice tinged with an indescribable sense of despair and sadness.

I was very anxious, afraid that she might do something foolish.

I said, “Mom, you still have me and Quentin. We will always be with you. You must take care of yourself. Quentin is about to marry his beloved girl, and they will give you a chubby grandson in the future.”

“Yeah…” my mom smiled, but tears filled her face, “I will be fine. I still have to wait and see each of you settle down and start your own families. Ralda, I really can’t bear to part with you all.”

My heart tightened again, and I hugged my mom even tighter.

“Quentin and I also miss you very much, so you must take care.”

I chatted with my mom for a while, and then I sent her back to her room to sleep.

Watching her sleep peacefully, I quietly slipped out of the room.

The room was cold and empty. I went to the kitchen and found that there was no food in the fridge, and the pots and pans looked like they hadn’t been used for a long time.

I glanced sadly at my mom’s room.

She definitely didn’t even have a proper meal these days.

I went to the market downstairs and bought some ingredients to bring back.

My mother was still sleeping, so I closed the kitchen door and then took out the ingredients to clean them one by one.

I cooked three dishes and a soup for my mom.

Although it didn’t look great, at least the whole room finally had some atmosphere.

I warmed up the meal in the pot and then left a note on the dining table, instructing my mom to eat well after she woke up.

After leaving a note, I grabbed my bag and quietly left the house.

No matter what, I had to go and ask my dad for clarification.

Thinking back to the joy and liveliness of the family being together in the past, and then looking at the desolation of the present, my heart felt a wave of sourness and sadness.

To this day, I have finally come to fully understand the meaning of the phrase “things have changed.”

I didn’t know where my dad was. I called him several times, but he didn’t answer.

I had no choice but to send him a message threatening him.

He no longer cares about my mom, or about me and Quentin.

Chapter 8

So I thought about this threat for a while before I came up with it.

I said, “If you refuse to see me, then I will have Reynaldo ruin the project you invested in.”

After sending out this message, my dad quickly replied to me, and he even called me directly.

He first scolded me harshly, and I waited quietly for him. After he finished scolding, he asked coldly, “Where are you? Send me the address.”

My dad scolded me a few words again, and then sent me an address.

After he finished giving the address, he hung up the phone directly.

I looked at the address above, the words I threatened my dad with, a self-deprecating smile tugging at the corner of my lips.

Look, I was about to settle things with Reynaldo, and then I had to go and threaten my dad under the guise of him.

I took a taxi and arrived at a club following the address my dad sent me.
