Chapter 1244: Respect My Mother’s Choice
Yuanyuan just hung up the phone. He turned around, looking at his father, who was much taller than him.
He pursed his thin lips, blinking his black eyes several times, as if thinking about something.
With no response from his son, Mo Yixuan said again, “It was your mother who called, right? You send a message to your mother, asking her to go for dinner tomorrow evening at the Xizi Lake.”
Mo Yixuan stayed calm because he didn’t hear what they talked about on the phone just now. He only vaguely heard the son call his mother.
Yuanyuan was stunned there. Under the lamplight, a trace of hesitation could be clearly seen flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.
He looked at his father’s serious expression together with the faint smile around the corners of his mouth.
However, for no reason, he couldn’t bear to speak out about something that was about to come out of his mouth.
But he knew that dad would know something sooner or later.
“Dad, mom is not in Ye City.” Yuanyuan said in a low voice.
Mo Yixuan was stunned.
“What? Is she on a business trip elsewhere?”
In Mo Yixuan’s impression, Yanyan seldom went to other places. She had no friends outside, either.
(Yuanyuan)…
Yuanyuan turned around, looking out of the window at the road.
After thinking for a long time, he replied, “Dad, let me tell you something.”
Mo Yixuan responded with “hum”, looking at his son with some doubts. He could see that Yuanyuan did not look right, seemingly to be hanging on something.
And soon he heard his son’s words that were about to greatly upset him.
“Dad, mom is in Paris, France, and she’s with Uncle Ye.”
Boom…
Lightning seemed to strike Mo Yixuan on the head.
He stood there, motionless, as if he were unconscious. His face contracted, his limbs became numb, and his mouth was opened wider and wider.
Under the lamplight, his figure was drawn long, up to the end of the aisle.
Yuanyuan noticed the change of his father’s look. He exhaled a long breath and then said, “Dad, you… Just bless mom.”
Yuanyuan did not know how to persuade dad to let go. However, he didn’t want dad to pester mom anymore. At this point, he felt it was time to put an end to all this.
Since mom, dad and Uncle Ye were no longer young, there was really no need to pester them.
Mo Yixuan’s face turned pale in a flash, as if powdered. He opened his mouth and stood there like a fool, unable to say a word for half quite a while.
He didn’t answer Yuanyuan, just turning around and walking slowly into his bedroom, and then slammed the door closed.
Yuanyuan was stunned, eyes fixed closely on the closed door.
He lingered in the corridor for a while, then walked towards dad’s room and knocked twice.
“Dad… Don’t be sad. Respect my mother’s choice. Mom is not young any longer. She needs to find a partner to accompany her for the rest of her life.”
Yuanyuan did not know how to comfort others, nor did he realize that what he said would only upset his father more.
He thought for awhile and then said.
“Well, Dad. Now that mom decided to stay with Uncle Ye, there is no need for you to think about mom anymore. Don’t you get along well with some woman outside? You can also marry an aunt whom you think is good. I won’t object to it.”
Yuanyuan did not know if dad had some women now, but he was sure that he used to have, though his dad had never brought them home.
Yuanyuan intended to say more. However, at this moment, he heard “bang, bang…” coming from the room, the sound of something hitting the ground.
