When I got married, my mother didn't even show up. I was afraid that she still hated me, so it would be better if I went alone.
When I came to the Mu Family, I looked at the somewhat depressed courtyard and my heart felt a little heavy for some reason.
After having suffered so much, Mark's temper was still the same as before. When he saw me for the first time, he asked me for money.
"Mark, after such a long time, you haven't made any progress at all." I looked at Mark's colorful hair and couldn't help but say in disgust.
"What? Now that you've become William's wife, your temper is even worse than before? Ashley, I'm your younger brother. Will you be satisfied when you see me dying on the street like my elder brother?" Mark looked at me. He straightened his neck and said to me impolitely.
I hugged my belly and I was trembling with anger.
I ignored Mark and walked past him into the living room.
My mother was knitting a sweater in the living room. When she saw me coming, she immediately put down the sweater in her hand and said to me, "The food is ready soon. Sit here and wait for a while."
"Mom." I looked at my mother and said sadly. "Ashley, in the past, we were ignorant and we lost your face. You can rest assured that from today on, we won't lose your face again. You are now William's wife, and your status is not ordinary. We will not be as ignorant as before."
Mom grabbed my hand and explained to me.
I heard her words and said helplessly, "Mom, I don't think that you lost my face. I just think that Mark should grow up. You can't spoil him like this."
"I know, you can rest assured because your brother has already become a good person. He is successful now. He is working in the finance department of Fang's Group. He is no longer the same as before."
Fang family? Did Mark work in the Fang's Group? And was he working in the Finance Department?
After hearing my mother's words, I couldn't help frowning and looked at my mother again.
"Let's eat." When my mother saw me looking at her, she suddenly avoided my eyes. I asked with some doubts, "Mom, when did you become so familiar with the Fang family?"
In my memory, my families didn't know Betty. What on earth was going on?
"This is the result of your brother's hard work. Your brother has become better and has the ability to do so." Mom looked at me and said seriously.
Hearing this, I sneered and said indifferently, "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
Would Mark become better? I didn't believe it at all!
Moreover, I had always been thinking about that day when my mom and Mark had a conversation with Betty. Did they want to hurt me together?
After that, I didn't know why they stopped hurting me. But Mark suddenly went to work in the Fang's Group, which made me feel a little strange.
"What do we have to hide from you, Ashley? Well, let's eat soon. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you want to question me like this?" My mother looked at me with a serious face and said unpleasantly.
I glanced at her. My mother got angry, which made me think about how incompatible we were in the past. Although there were still some doubts in my heart, I suppressed them. I picked up my chopsticks and said calmly, "Alright, I see."
Since they didn't want me to know, I could only pretend to be a fool.
No matter what my mother and Mark wanted to do, as long as they could repent before it is too late, I could forgive them.
After eating, Mark said that he had to go to work and left. I also wanted to leave, but my mother held my hand. She looked at my belly and said to me, "I heard that you are pregnant? Is this child William's?"
My fingers trembled slightly, but I didn't nod or shake my head.
My mother said, "Ashley, sleep here tonight. Stay with me, my health is getting worse and worse. Eric is dead. Now I only have you and Mark. Stay with me tonight and talk with me for a while."
Looking at my mother's pale face, I was touched. I didn't want to pay attention to her words, but seeing that her hair was much whiter, I couldn't help but nod my head and said, "Okay, I'll stay here with you tonight."
In the final analysis, we were still mother and daughter. Even if there were some unpleasantness before, it was gone.
After hearing what I said, my mother patted my hand with a look of relief, but I didn't look deep into her eyes.
When I was taking a nap at my mother's house, I called William and said that I would be here all day and sleep with my mother at night, and I would go back the next day.
William didn't say anything, but just asked me to be careful and take good care of myself.
Thinking of his considerateness, I felt warm in my heart and said, "I know. I'm at home. I won't be in any danger."
"All right."
After talking to William, I hung up the phone.
I was also a little sleepy, so I leaned on the sofa and slept.
At night, I slept with my mother. In my memory, I only slept with my mother when I was very young. Since I grew up, I had never slept with her again. This feeling was somewhat wonderful.
We laid on bed and mentioned my childhood. My mother sighed and said to me, "You were so small when you were born, just like a little cat. Your father liked you so much, but..."
"But what?" I rarely heard about what happened when I was a baby. Maybe it was because I was also pregnant at the moment, I was curious and couldn't help asking my mother.
Mom paused for a moment and glanced at me. She didn't continue but shook her head and said, "I'm sleepy. Let's sleep."
Seeing that my mother did not want to talk about it, I didn't force her. I felt sleepy, so I yawned, slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.
The tap seemed to have been broken down, and the water kept dripping down and running out.
