In the private room.

Olivia sat quietly and watched the broth in her hotpot bubbled. As Brenda had not arrived yet, Olivia placed a few pieces of vegetables and potatoes into the broth.

She also ordered a few bottles of beer.

The vegetables and potatoes were almost cooked. Olivia took them out of the broth and placed them onto her plate. Then she swirled some meat in the broth. When that was cooked too, she took the meat out and dipped it into sauce she mixed herself and ate it with the vegetables.

That was her favorite way of eating hotpot.

Then, she ate a piece of the potato, and opened a bottle of beer and drank it.

Ah, she missed the taste of such dishes. She hadn't eaten hotpot for over six months when she was abroad. Her nose felt slightly blocked, and her eyes watery. She reached out for a napkin and gently dabbed it at the corner of her eye.

Knock, knock....

Someone knocked on the door. Olivia raised her

head and figured that it might be her mother.

With the thought in mind, Olivia put down her cutleries, approached the door and opened it.

Brenda stood in front of Olivia, looking beautiful. She had dressed up specially, put on a nice dress and makeup just to meet Olivia.

Although Brenda liked to dress up in the past as well, ever since Ollie left, Brenda hadn't been in the mood to do so like before. For the longest time, she hadn't paid attention to her appearance and as a result, her skin no longer had the healthy glow that it once had.

As she was going to meet up with Ollie, Brenda had frantically applied skincare products and put on a face mask before putting on her makeup. She hoped that it would help her look healthier and younger. When the mother and daughter met, both of them were quiet. After a while, Olivia reluctantly smiled.

"Mom."

Brenda walked carefully into the room.
