Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 888

It was no wonder that Aurelia had been sleeping so peacefully these days and that the mosquitoes only bit Helene instead of her… She really thought that it was like what the Internet said about mosquitoes only biting certain blood types and felt lucky that her blood type was not what the mosquitoes liked.

It was actually because…

It was not that the mosquitoes were not biting her. It was because someone was chasing them away for her.

"You're awake?"

Helene stopped what she was doing in the dark and looked at her stiffly, lowering her head like a child who did wrong.

“Mosquitoes… There are mosquitoes…

"I'm afraid that you will get itchy…"

Aurelia bit her lips. She could no longer hold back her tears and threw herself into Helene's arms.

Back when she stayed in the basement as a child, she had cried after being bitten by lice and fleas, but her mother had kicked her to the wall, finding her annoying.

Helene patted her back softly and coaxed her with a smile like she was coaxing a child.

"Don't cry, don't be scared."

"Mm…" Aurelia sobbed and looked up at her. After a moment of hesitation, she asked softly, "C-Can I call you mom?"

Helene did not seem to hear her as she was still engrossed in her own world, hugging Aurelia and chasing the mosquitoes away.

Aurelia found it to be impolite, but she really wanted to call mom seriously for once.

She had a mother as a child but had never known what it felt like to be loved by her. She found it here with Helene now.

"Princess Lene, sorry to be rude." Her voice was almost inaudible. "But… please grant me this little wish of mine, okay? I promise, I'll forget this after I call it. No one will know!

"Princess Lene?"
