Chapter 24 Stranger’s Message
I thought my mom called to wish me birthday, but no she didn’t. I was a little disappointed. But I not too
upset, she had been infatuated with Uncle Mason since 20 years ago
My mom used to be a very gorgeous woman when she was young, but even now, near 50 years old,
she still looked stunning, but she’s getting older. For a man like Uncle Mason, rich and not even 60 yet,
I knew one day like this would come. He must have gotten sick of my mom and wanted a new younger
lady.
I didn’t know what to say to mom.
Mom got a little annoyed at my silence and asked: “Jennie, did you hear me? What should I do?”
I sighed and answered: “Yes, but what are you going to do?”
Mom started crying like a child. I was speechless. “Mom, since he wants another woman, leave him!”
She cried even harder at my words. “I can’t leave him like that!”
“Mom, you said it yourself, he has a new woman out there? What’s the point of staying? You want to
wait until they chase you out?” I tried to reason with her.
She continued sobbing. “Your Uncle Mason, he…… he chased me out already, he wants to marry that
little b*tch!”
I told mom to leave the Mason’s and come stay with me, but she cried and said no, she couldn’t live
without him.
“Then tell me how I can help. Stop crying and stop being so naïve. You are going to be 50 soon, you
should stop all your naïve thoughts.” I sighed. I really didn’t know what to do. My mom was acting like a
child.
I didn’t want to burst my mom’s bubble but she needed to be clear about the situation.
Perhaps my attitude angered her, she suddenly yelled like a mad woman:“Jennie, is this how you
speak to your mother? If not for me, do you think you could live a life as luxurious as you have? You
were treated like a young mistress!”
Young mistress? I nearly scoffed out loud.
If she wasn’t my mom, I would have hung her up.

“Mom, I was clear enough. I can’t do anything for you. You can only come stay with me and I’ll take
care of you.” I sighed once again, hoping that mom would understand.
Mom got even more triggered and screamed: “If you don’t help me stay in the family and get rid of that
woman, I’ll go and die!”
I couldn’t believe my own ears, why is my mom so……
“Mom, who do you think I am? Do you think I can stop Uncle Mason from marrying any woman?” I
argued.
Mom didn’t care about what I said at all and continued crying: “Jennie, mom knows you have your own
ways, Leo treated you so well I know you like him too. I also knew you two liked each other. Please,
help mom.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
I couldn’t believe mom knew about me and Leo, and yet she forced me to attend his wedding?!
Haha……
This is my mom.
“impossible.” I was tired.
“Then I’ll die!” she threatened.
I didn’t want to talk any further and hung up, then I switched my phone off.
Maybe I knew deep down that mom wouldn’t kill herself for a man.
I didn’t even shower and went straight to bed with my makeup on.
In the middle of the night, someone kept ringing my door bell. I got out of the bed and go to the door. I
was Wendy.
‘Hey, what’s up, it’s late!” I opened the door and asked.
“Hi, sorry for waking you but here’s a sketch from boss. He wants you to improve part B and hand it to
him tomorrow. He’s been in a bad mood lately, let’s all be careful so that he doesn’t explode, okay?”
Wendy explained.
I smiled at her and thanked her. “Thanks for coming all the way, appreciate it.”
“No problem, let’s do our best, okay? Sorry again to wake you, go sleep, bye!” she said cheerfully.
“Goodbye, be careful on your way home!” | closed to door and go back to bed.
The next day, I woke up and improved the sketch a little. Then I headed to the office.
Chapter 24 Stranger’s Message
On my way in the LRT, I switched on my phone and saw a message from a stranger wishing me happy
birthday.
‘Happy Birthday
I try to think who would wish me birthday, my friends have already wished me, who could this be?
I checked the number’s address. Not from Denmark. Yea, he already has a wife now, why would he
remember my birthday?
