And when I found out, it was already too late.
I have been staying here with my mom for over a week.
Every day, I would get up early with my mom, exercise, have breakfast, and then go shopping and visit the park.
Watching my mother’s complexion and spirits gradually improve, I also felt much more at ease.
For over a week, my dad never came back.
My mom and I also tacitly did not mention him.
Quentin did come back to see my mom the next day, but not once did he bring his mysterious girlfriend with him.
I didn’t insist on it either, let it be.
As long as he can really settle down with that girl in the future, that’s all that matters for a happy ending.
That day, I slept until noon because the previous night, I stayed up chatting with my mom until late.
My mother had already gotten up to make lunch.
Seeing her in good spirits, my mood also improved.
When I turned to go to the bathroom to freshen up, my mom suddenly said to me, “Ralda, I have been feeling much better recently and there’s

nothing much going on. You can go ahead and do your own things, not need to accompany me every day.”
I shook my head and said, “No, I promised to stay with you all the time.”
My mother chuckled and said, “Are you going to accompany me for a lifetime?”
“Just for a lifetime, Mom, I will accompany you for a lifetime.”
“Silly child…”
My mother smiled and patted my hand, but her eyes were somewhat dim. “I’m serious,” she said. “You will also have your own career and family in the future. While I’m still here, go talk to Reynaldo and settle down as soon as possible.”
“Mom? What do you mean by ‘while you’re still here“? Don’t say things like that anymore!” I looked at her angrily.
My mother busily smiled and said, “Okay, okay, okay… I won’t say anymore, I won’t say anymore. But you really need to have a good talk with Reynaldo, otherwise what exactly is going on between you and him
now?”
“Ah, I got it. You don’t have to worry about me anymore.” I smiled and pushed her to sit on the sofa, then went into the bathroom.
I heard my mom’s whisper from behind, a bit muffled, and I didn’t catch it clearly.
I splashed water on my face and looked at myself in the mirror. I sighed softly and felt conflicted about whether to take the initiative to talk to Reynaldo.
At that moment, my phone suddenly vibrated.

I lowered my gaze and saw a message from Kimberly.
I reached out and clicked randomly, and the next second, I opened my eyes in astonishment.
Kimberly’s message was “Do you want to meet Reynaldo’s mother? I’ll take you there!”
Was Reynaldo’s mother?
Before, I had heard Reynaldo mention his mother, and I also knew that his mother is currently in Freybourne.
Kimberly was perfectly fine, why did she suddenly take me to meet her mother?
What trick is Kimberly playing again?
I turned off my phone, put it aside, and didn’t pay much attention.
Before long, my phone suddenly rang again.
Kimberly called directly.
I stared at my phone for a few seconds, then answered the call.
However, the voice that came from the other end of the phone was not Kimberly’s, but a calm and serious woman’s voice.
“Was it Ms. Duffy?”
Thinking that she might be Reynaldo’s mother, I quickly replied, “Yes,
you are…
“I am Reynaldo’s mother.”

Sure enough.
