Its always better to personally buy your own clothes in person, relatively speaking. After all, the asurents taken may end up inaccurate. Unfortunately, taking Mommy Elizabeth and Mommy Vyvyan out with wouldve attracted excessive attention. As a matter of fact, we might end up on the internet, and I could kiss my peaceful life goodbye. It wasnt the right ti and place to be internet celebrities. We werent even from the sa world not to ntion Mommy Vyvyan was an elf. Hence, I had to go shopping with Sister Ning.
After we left, Sister Ning cald down. I still felt awkward due to the debacle prior to leaving; nevertheless, she acted as though nothing ever happened. She remained as gentle and generous as before. In short, she was no different to my elder sister. I gradually stopped worrying and treated her as I did in the past. The two of us were adamant on not ntioning what just happened. Although it was awkward between us due to guests Sister Ning deed as uninvited living with us, we were outside and away from them. We were in a place we were familiar with. It was our world and our daily life all over again. Therefore, we went out with smiles on our face as we usually did, enjoying the life that belonged to us bathed in sunlight.
I was completely uneducated on the topic of shopping for wons clothing. Sister Ning could try on clothes for Lucia. As for the others, we had no choice but to hand the asurents to the clerk. The clerk was startled when she saw the asurents. In fact, she thought I was japing her for my own pleasure. What could I do about it? Fortunately, Sister Ning showed her the photos of Mommy Vyvyan and Mommy Elizabeth that she took Dont ask when she took them; just know that she did have photos. I was fairly convinced shed try and use the photos to report them to the police since she believed they were scamrs or troublemakers upon first contact. Nier and Elizabeth did attack her when they first t, after all.
I lacked a concept of aesthetics; therefore, I entrusted all the decisions to Sister Ning, though she also felt challenged. It was the first ti I felt shopping for clothes was so troubleso I required a lot of help from the clerk, Sister Ning and even my imagination to finally select a few sets of clothing. Needless to say, I chose very conservative clothing to satisfy my own jealousy. I didnt want others to ogle Mommy Vyvyan and Mommy Elizabeth, let alone touch. No, you may not even look at them!
When we picked up the clothes and prepared to go ho, Sister Ning suddenly received a phone call. Her face turned pale when she looked at the screen. Baffled, I looked over. I, too, went pale in the face and nearly dropped the clothes. It was the equivalent of receiving a warning of an incoming bomb Seeing the contact na was no different to seeing a nace
The na of the caller was Auntie No, not as in the cleaner usage in Chinese, but my mom Yes, my biological Mom, or otherwise, Zhu Liangzhes biological mom I always considered my mom to be a nightmare. I never felt she held any affection for as a mother; my mother was even stricter than my father. I, in fact, never saw her smile until my university graduation. Even then, she gave a stern stare. Ever since I was a kid, she was always forbidding this, forbidding that, do this, do that.
Sister Ning did you call my mom?!
I did think I heard Sister Ning speak to Mom. Nevertheless I was glad Normally, nobody would believe their son brought four won ho; four foreigners who behaved as intimately as husband and wife. I didnt think my mom would believe it I was worried, but she wouldnt really co I presud.
Calm down!!! Calm down! Let take the call first. Let take the call first.
Sister Ning shook so intensely that it took her multiple attempts to tap the answer button. My mom wasnt strict with exclusively. Sister Ning, who grew up alongside , was also subjected to moms terror that left her quavering. Thus, we both feared her. We still quaked in our boots as primary school kids did when we were in her presence The entire matter had nothing to do with Sister Ning. It was my problem, but I was sure Mom would drag Sister Ning, who cohabitated with , into it and punish her, as well. Psychological damage suffered during childhood can never be completely healed, I tell you.
Hello Auntie
Sister Ning forced out a stiff smile. It was just a phone call, where she couldnt see moms expression, yet she was so nervous that she adjusted her expression. I couldnt hear what Mom said. I didnt dare to listen in, yet I was burning to know what she said The conflicting emotions put in a dilemma. It wasnt even a minute, yet I felt as though I was subjected to a year of horror And it was my biological mom on the other end of the call, as I thought.
My moms calls were always short. It was her habit as a soldier. Moreover, she never asked for my opinion. She never asked where we should go or what we should do. When she called , it was to notify and not ask for my opinion. Once she was done, shed hang up; she wouldnt waste a mont or words
Sister Ning was scared to begin with. Consequently, when she hung up, she looked at with an even more terrified look. She grabbed my shoulder with one hand. While sobbing, she exclaid, What do we do?!! What do we do?! Aunt has arrived! Shes at ho right now What do do? What do we do?! Can can we still go ho?! We we cant go ho
I panicked as I racked my brains: And where could we go if not ho? But but could could my mom have already t Mommy Vyvyan and Mommy Elizabeth?! I My my legs are feeling weak How do I explain it? Mom, let introduce you, these are my two adopted moms? I Im panicking I cant explain it
We dont have anywhere to go if not ho right?
========
Current ti at ho.
Vyvyan sat on the sofa with a cup of tea in hand. She gave the woman opposite her a smile. Elizabeth vigilantly stood by the window and leaned on it. She kept her head down and avoided eye contact.
The woman, who was dressed in casual clothing, yet appeared imposing, looked straight back at Vyvyan. The three didnt speak. Nevertheless, all the air in the living room was frozen. There was no way to breathe. Even Lucia and Nier stayed in one of the rooms and trembled. They didnt dare to move
