Contract Marriage With Mysterious President novel Chapter 387

“Mom, a bone got stuck in my throat.” Finnley was coughing and her face flushed. Faustina got really worried.

She quickly gave Finnley a sip of vinegar, and then made the family doctor come over to check on Finnley.

The doctor hurriedly rushed over and checked Finnley’s throat. It wasn’t too bad and not too serious as it was only a small bone. He used a pair of tweezers to get it out.

“Madam, it’s done.” The doctor managed to get the bone out and Finnley felt alive again.

“Finnley, how are you feeling?” asked Faustina worriedly.

“I’m fine, it’s all good. I felt like I was dying though, it was annoying. I wouldn’t eat fish ever again!” said Finnley angrily. She never knew that fish was such a troublesome food. She glanced at her mother after she said that.

“Okay, then we will never buy fish ever again.” Faustina held herself back and answered casually.

After the meal, Faustina didn’t make Finnley eat fruits and simply went back to her room to rest. Finnley thought that her mother was acting very differently today, she even felt like a stranger.

Finnley went upstairs with her clutch and opened the door to her mother’s room slightly. Her mother was really resting on the bed. Finnley closed the door back softly.

But Faustina knew that Finnley was there. Amy told her to let Finnley have a life of her own, and hence Faustina pretended not to notice Finnley.

Throughout the day, Faustina was rather cold towards Finnley. She never asked Finnley to do things according to her will anymore.

She would make whatever Finnley wanted to eat and wouldn’t prepare it for her. She wanted Finnley to learn how to do things on her own.

Finnley was a bit flustered. Her mother used to do everything for her and she used to think that her mother was overprotective. Now she realized that there was a lot that she didn’t know, ever since her mother stopped caring.

“Mom, I want to drink some alcohol,” said Finnley to Faustina during supper.

“What do you want to drink? Just make the servant bring you something.” Faustina didn’t say no.

Red wine was brought over and Finnley had a glass. Normally, she would have a few glasses when Faustina didn’t let her drink. But she only felt like having one glass, because her mother let her drink.

During the night, Finnley thought about how much her mother had changed and was terrified. She called Amy and told her about her mother’s change. She wondered if her mother hit her head.

“Maybe she thinks that you’re all grown up and realizes that she’s overprotective. She decided to let go, I guess.” Amy knew why Faustina suddenly had a change of heart, but she would never tell Finnley.

“Amy, I feel so conflicted. I used to think that my mom is annoying back then when she’s being overprotective. I didn’t like it at all. But now when she stopped caring that much, I felt dispirited.” Finnley thought that she might be crazy as well.

Don’t feel that way, you’re just used to her taking care of your every need. Not only her, your servants as well. Well, maybe you’re not ready to live on your own yet!” Amy hit where it hurt for Finnley.

Finnley got quiet. She didn’t want to believe that she couldn’t live the life she wanted on her own. Since she was young, she excelled in everything. Nothing scared her.
