Chapter35

If they’d been lovers for over ten years, what did her three–year marriage to Geoffrey during that time even mean?

Just then, a video call buzzed through.

Maureen glanced at the screen–it was her younger son Ethan calling.

She only answered after making sure she didn’t look like she’d been drinking. Otherwise, her son would lecture her again.

“Mommy Mwah~”

A frail, cooing voice came through the video. A boy who looked exactly like Jacob lay pale on the hospital bed, call- ing out to Maureen in a soft and sweet tone.

Maureen’s heart melted instantly.

“Ethan, mwah.”

Ethan gazed at her with melancholy eyes. “Mommy, you didn’t call me last night. Nighty night.”

Unlike her eldest son Jacob–a warm but talkative boy–her younger son was a typical clingy child craving reassurance. At least, that’s how Maureen saw it.

“Sorry, Mommy forgot. Mwah, don’t be mad, okay?”

Since Ethan had always been frail and was now diagnosed with leukemia, Maureen paid him extra attention.

He puckered his lips. “I’ll forgive you this time.”

“But no next time!”

Watching the little one playfully pout, the gloom in Maureen’s heart vanished. She nodded repeatedly.

“Where’s Grandma and your brother?”

Hearing this, Ethan pretended to sulk. “If I knew you’d ask about them, I wouldn’t have called.”

Maureen couldn’t help laughing–this kid truly had Lin Daiyu’s melancholy air.

“Alright, no more questions. It’s late–get some rest now. Nighty night.”

After hanging up, the smile vanished from Ethan’s face as he glared at his twin brother Jacob sitting in front of the laptop.

“Mom’s drinking again.”
