"Mom, next time if someone asks you to take my signature, just say no. I'm not as outstanding as you think. Actually, it is Jonas who helps me run all of this. My popularity is mainly his credit, not mine." June was a clear-minded girl. Although she also liked the feeling of being on the top at present, she knew all of this was fake. It made her feel uneasy. She still had to firmly hold her sincerity. "Really? June, you picked up a treasure this time. You married a good husband. I'm really happy for you. I would love to see him." Lina was overjoyed and eager to see her outstanding son-in-law.
Hearing that, June was immediately shocked. She quickly responded with a serious expression, "Mom, aren't you clear about what happened between me and him? Let alone you, I haven't seen him in two days."
"Is your relationship with him ... really that bad?" When Lina heard what her daughter said, she fell into disappointment and sadly looked at her piteous daughter.
"It's not bad. But we don't have anything to do with each other except the name of husband and wife. Mom, I don't know how long this relationship will last. Maybe a few months, maybe a few years. I've been ready for the ending. So, let's not have too much hope, okay?" June wanted to make that clear to her mother so that she wouldn't think that life was so beautiful that she could slack off.
Lina was even more disappointed. She nodded her head and said, "Alright, I know. I won't help them to ask for your signature anymore. June, are you making money now? How much money did you make? How about I keep it for you? I'm afraid that you won't be able to manage your money because you're so young. If you spend too much money, how will we live in the future?"
June wasn't angry. Instead, she calmly opened her handbag and took out a card. "Mom, this card is under your name. There are two million yuan in it. All of them came from my recent endorsement. I paid some of your hospitalization fees. Take it. In the future, all the money I earn will be deposited in this card. Keep it for me, but you have to be careful not to lose it."
"Really? There are millions in here? Oh my God, I have never seen so much money in my life. June, you are really my good daughter." Hearing the sum of the money, Lina's eyes lit up. Her hands trembled as she took the card over. Then, she looked at her daughter with distress and said, "You have to leave some money for yourself. You can't give it all to me."
"I left tens of thousands of yuan for pocket money. Anyway, I don't have to spend that much." June whispered. "Alright, Mom will take care of it for you. I'll give it to you as a dowry in the future ... No, you're already married." When Lina thought of this, she suddenly laughed.
"Alright, Mom, I have to go. Take good rest and call me if you need anything." June glanced at the time, almost past seven o'clock. It was already dark outside. She couldn't go back too late, afraid that Jonas would complain her of that.
"Mm, hurry up and go back. Everything is okay here." Lina hurriedly urged her daughter, not wanting her to miss the family matters.
June turned around and left. And she was stuck for a long time at the gate of the hospital before she could get in the car. Now she sat back in her chair sweating and looked at the lights outside the window. She felt empty inwardly.
She used to feel sad because this big city didn't have a place for her mother and her to stay. Now, she had a home to go back to. However, she was the only one living in that home. She seldom saw her husband in name, let alone talking to him.
At the traffic light, the car stopped. On the sidewalk in front of them, a family was talking and laughing as they crossed the road. The older child was holding the younger one while their parents and grandparents were protecting them. What a happy and warm family.
June looked at it with her eyes wet. What was wrong with her? She wanted to cry when she saw such a sweet family.
Had her father ever thought of her, his illegitimate daughter?
She always looked strong in front of her mother. When she was young, other girls were protected by their fathers from the mischief of some naughty boys in the playground. She, however, could clearly recall how that felt like to be pushed to the ground by a few little boys. She would live in the rest of her life in the shade of being unprotected.
She had to spend the rest of her life curing her dark childhood, but who could give her warmth for the rest of her long life?
After arriving at the Brid's, June got out of the car. As Matilda left with others, June quietly stepped on the steps and returned to the side hall.
Turning on the light, she was surprised to see the bright red rose on the coffee table.
Who brought them?
