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.”
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.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“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?
