Finnley Carr was resigned to the fact that her mother has kept interfering in her life. From an early age, she was always made to do what her mother wanted her to do and anything she really liked would be stopped by her. However, her brother was much freer, idling around and doing nothing.
“I’m not meddling in your life. It’s for your own good. I’ve been there, so I don’t want you to make detours.” Faustina turned a deaf ear to Finnley’s complain because she thought her own decision was the best for her.
Little did Faustina know that Finnley had ever investigated the mystery of her own life experience because she thought she was adopted by Vitoria or Faustina was her stepmother.
However, the final result proved she was wrong.
“Mom, I’m almost thirty. I have my own dream and I want to do what I really like. Could you stop meddling with my life?” Faustina pushed Finnley down, cut her trousers and looked for another pair of trousers from upstairs.
“I don’t understand how could a girl not have any trousers?” She rummaged around Finnley’s wardrobe for a dress, only to find a pair of loose pajamas.
“Since when you have treated me like a girl? Do you think I had any time to dress up when you arranged me to learn taekwondo, martial arts, and made me learn finance, which I’m not interested in at all, and asked me to get a master’s degree and doctor’s degree?” She has been used to being bossed around by her mother.
“You’re talking like it’s all my fault. I knew you spent most of your study time on martial arts. I didn’t want you to get a prize for it but to learn to protect yourself.” Faustina said in an aggrieved tone.
“You’re such a perfectionist that you try to take the first in everything, but I just want you to learn them. You threw away all those dresses I bought for you and took time as an excuse. So don’t blame it on me!” Faustina was getting angry. She didn’t think she was wrong and she didn’t know why her own daughter couldn’t get along with her.
Finnley was silent. Although they would fight every time they met, the first one to make a compromise would be Faustina. Faustina has a quick temper, easy come easy go.
“I brought your favorite spicy crayfish and the wine I brewed by myself for you.” Faustina would bring Finnley’s favorites for her despite that they fought a lot.
“Oh, I almost forgot you can’t eat it. Your leg was so badly hurt. I might as well live here for a couple of days to make some soup for you. It would be good for you.” Faustina noticed Finnely’s injury, so she took the crayfish away.
“Mom, I told you it’s not a big deal. Are you gonna stop me from eating what I like?” Finnley was fond of the spicy crayfish that Faustina made.
“Yes, I am. I’ll cook stewed pig’s feet for you later to help you replenish sufficient collagen, then you’ll recover sooner. As a girl, you can’t leave a scar on your body.” Faustina changed the trousers for Finnley as she said and took the crayfish away.
“Mom, mom, you don’t have to live with me. My nanny will cook some soup for me. You can just tell them what to do.” Finnley couldn’t do anything with her mother.
What’s more, Faustina has changed all her staffs, including her gardener, into female. What if any baddies came?
What Finnely didn’t know was that some of the female staffs Faustina employed were excellent at martial arts. She hired them as bodyguards in secret, but she didn’t tell Finnley.
