In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 14

My parents fetch their luggage quickly and move in my house.

I rent a one-room flat. They sleep in my room and I have to sleep on the crouch.

Their things drop on the floor. All those specialties taken from hometown are placed everywhere. I sweep and collect from 1:00 pm till 11:00 pm.

Their snores have already flew out from the bedroom.

I wash my face and sleep on the couch exhaustedly.

My mother get up at 5:00 in the morning. She makes noise in the kitchen and I can’t sleep. Usually I get up at 8 o’clock and now my biological clock is completely disturbed.

“Mom. Why are you getting up so early?”

“I leavened dough last night, now I am making you bun” She says.

I smile and say nothing. I never eat bun. But my father loves it.

The reason why my mother gets up so early and works hard is to play up to my father.

I can’t sleep, so I have to get up.

My mother steams bun and goes out from the kitchen. She helds my hands to sit on the couch.

“Jane, mom wants to tell you something.” I frown. I know she definitely wants to say something that would make me headache.

I don’t say a word and just look at her.

She continues this topic even I don’t respond.

“Jane, can you make it up with Andrew Malan? What would you do as a divorced woman? What about your brother’s work? We count on Andrew Malan’s relationship to get your brother into his company before. Now it seems impossible.”

“Mom, please don’t mention Andrew Malan.” I interrupt her impatiently.
