Chapter 659

Lucy never thought that her mother would say something like this.

She expected her mother to have felt that way even less.

At that moment, a complex and touching feeling mixed in her heart.

Her father had died early, and all these years, it had been up to her mother to raise her.

She was protected and loved, and even though her mother was amid such difficulty and danger, she never allowed her daughter to suffer any harm.

That was why Lucy was grateful for her mother. However, behind this gratitude, she always had a faint feeling that it was as if she had kidnapped her mother’s life.

After all, if it were not for a burden like her, her mother would not have been forced to marry Old Fourth Cecil in the first place.

Her mother had many chances to leave Old Fourth afterward. Even if she had to run away to a place where no one knew her so that Old Fourth would not be able to find her, she would not have to endure such a miserable life.

However, she had Lucy. After all, Lucy was still a child who needed to go to school and live a stable life.

That was why her mother chose to endure. She silently buried the pain along with her tears and hid it from everyone.

However, even if others did not know, how would Lucy be unaware?

She knew very well that she was half the reason for all this.

There had been countless moments when she had looked at her mother’s aging face and graying hair with pain in her heart and wondered how many of those old wrinkles and white hair had been formed because of her.

If she could, she hoped that her mother could have her own interest, hobbies, life, and people who she wanted to spend her time with.

Now, she suddenly heard her mother say such words.

She was shocked and moved, and had the feeling that her dream had finally come true.

Lucy reached out to hold her mother’s hand, her throat choking up a little.

“Mom, are you serious? If you go back to the south, can you really have a life of your own?”

She was still worried.

After all, it had been a year or two since her mother had been in the capital. If she went back again, would she be able to get used to it?

The woman’s smile was warm as she raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.

She said softly, “Of course I can, you silly girl. Since I brought this matter up, I must have thought it over carefully already. You don’t have to worry about me.

“I’m worried about you. Now that you’ve grown up, you can’t be as childish as before. It’s your blessing that Little Joel loves you. You mustn't be spoiled and pampered because of this, alright?”

Lucy pouted and muttered in a low voice, “I’m not wilful.”

Her mother saw this and smiled, saying nothing.

Joel wanted to keep her a little longer, and said, “If you find the weather in the north uncomfortable, you can go live in the south when it’s winter and come over in the summer, so that there’s no delay on both sides. There’s no inconvenience now that transport is developed.”

Lucy nodded quickly when she heard this. “Yeah, mom. Look, it’s spring now and it’ll warm up soon. There’s no need for you to go back to the south again.”

Her mother looked at them, her gaze becoming increasingly gentle and loving.

She patted Lucy’s hand gently and laughed, “Silly girl. No matter how good this place is, it’s not my hometown after all.”

The words stunned both of them.

Only then did Lucy remember that her mother’s ancestry seemed to be from the south.

A long time ago, her father passed through the south because of the war and ended up meeting her mother, who was not married at that time. They had fallen in love at first sight.

After their marriage, her mother came to the capital with her father and settled there. When her father resigned, their first consideration was to go back to the south.

Then, her father passed away and her mother raised her in the south.

Later, because of Lucy, she followed along and came to the capital to stay with her while seeking medical treatment.

The years of displacement had left Lucy without much of a sense of belonging to any city.

However, she forgot that her mother was different from her.

When she was a child, she lived without a fixed place, but her mother had grown up in a stable place full of warmth and love.

She never spoke of her childhood to anyone, but that did not mean that she was unhappy.

It was said that when people got old, what they grew most attached to was their hometown.

At that moment, Lucy seemed to suddenly understand what her mother had been clinging to.

She was deeply moved. Although she could not help worrying, she also felt that if her mother returned to the south, it would make her feel at ease and happy.

Thinking like this, she reached out and hugged her mother.

With her head resting on her shoulder, it took half a moment before she mumbled sullenly, “Mom, I’ll miss you.”

Her mother could not help but laugh at her spoiled tone.

She reached out and patted her back gently, laughing. “Silly girl, I’m just going to live in the south. It’s not like we won’t be able to meet again in the future. If you miss me, you can come back to see me. What are you getting so sad about?”

Lucy thought about it and agreed.

Although the distance was far, if she really wanted to see her mother, she could see her at any time.

Thinking like this, the sadness of parting in her heart suddenly subsided quite a bit.

Joel saw that the situation was already set and that persuading her to stay would not succeed.

He could only helplessly comfort Lucy.

“Mom’s right. If staying in the south can make her feel more comfortable, then of course we’ll respect her opinion. I’ll accompany you back to see her in the future.”

Lucy was comforted by him and was in a much better mood, and finally let go of her mother. She looked at her mother and said pitifully, “That’s a promise. We’ll come back often to see you in the future.”

Spoiled by the President Chapter 658 Back To The South Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 The older woman’s heart warmed, and could not resist the smile that formed on her face.

“Okay, you can come back anytime in the future. If you really don’t have time to come back, I’ll come to you again when you finally have a child.”

The words caused Lucy’s face to turn red instantly.

On the other hand, Joel was very happy. He looked at Lucy meaningfully and pulled her to his side.

He promised solemnly, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll work hard.”

Lucy’s flushed face reddened even more.

She elbowed Joel’s stomach and hissed in embarrassment, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Lucy did not use much force, so it did not hurt.

Besides, her movements had the force of a little kitten and could not hurt Joel at all.

However, to please the little woman, Joel still pretended to let out a cry as if he was hurt and looked at her with mock injustice.

“Wasn’t it mom who said that she’ll come over when we have a child? Was it wrong of me to say that?”

Lucy became even angrier for a moment.

She turned and glared at him.
