"What?" Her ears moved and she turned around.
He was silent.
The soup in front of him was obviously more tempting than her questioning.
He ate porridge and meatballs wholeheartedly and turned a deaf ear to her questions. He didn't even respond.
He couldn't even make a sound even if he was hit by a stick!
Cherry angrily lay down on her chair.
Her stomach was warm, and the pain was fading away gradually.
He finally turned around and said to her, "Go to bed. I'll help you look after your restaurant."
"No, I won't. You'll make me lose money later."
Although she said so, she felt strangely relieved.
Her eyelids were heavy.
She got up early in the morning and took a boat to the C City for the wholesale of seafood. It was not early to finish the night snack business and close the restaurant. She kept thinking every day, but in fact, she didn't have much time to rest at all.
Now, even her disordered stomach was so comfortable, and her eyelids could not help but become heavy...
She was so sleepy that she just needed to sleep for a while.
At night, it began to rain again in the autumn night of the H City.
The autumn night was getting colder and colder.
But she didn't feel it at all.
Because beside her, there was a warm body snuggling up to her, like the warm embrace of a mother.
She couldn't help getting closer to the heat source.
The man held her tighter.
"Mom..." Her voice was choked with sobs, and even the corners of her eyes were wet.
Mother...
When her mother was alive, she didn't have to be as tired as she was now.
She didn't have to go to school with the key, cook by herself, or work hard to pay off her father's gambling debts...
Her mother was strong.
Her mother always said, "I'm here. Cherry, don't be afraid. "
Once the person who loved her most had gone, the person who wanted to be strong had become herself...
She sobbed.
Someone patted her on the back and said, "Don't worry. I'm here."
She opened her tearful eyes.
Her eyes met his.
"Are you awake?" He said lightly, "That's good. You can come down and open the door."
