Chapter 24 Stranger’s Message
I thought my mom called to wish me birthday, but no she didn’t. I was a little disappointed. But I not too upset, she had been infatuated with Uncle Mason since 20 years ago
My mom used to be a very gorgeous woman when she was young, but even now, near 50 years old, she still looked stunning, but she’s getting older. For a man like Uncle Mason, rich and not even 60 yet, I knew one day like this would come. He must have gotten sick of my mom and wanted a new younger lady.
I didn’t know what to say to mom.
Mom got a little annoyed at my silence and asked: “Jennie, did you hear me? What should I do?”
I sighed and answered: “Yes, but what are you going to do?”
Mom started crying like a child. I was speechless. “Mom, since he wants another woman, leave him!”
She cried even harder at my words. “I can’t leave him like that!”
“Mom, you said it yourself, he has a new woman out there? What’s the point of staying? You want to wait until they chase you out?” I tried to reason with her.
She continued sobbing. “Your Uncle Mason, he…… he chased me out already, he wants to marry that little b*tch!”
I told mom to leave the Mason’s and come stay with me, but she cried and said no, she couldn’t live without him.
“Then tell me how I can help. Stop crying and stop being so naïve. You are going to be 50 soon, you should stop all your naïve thoughts.” I sighed. I really didn’t know what to do. My mom was acting like a child.
I didn’t want to burst my mom’s bubble but she needed to be clear about the situation.
Perhaps my attitude angered her, she suddenly yelled like a mad woman:“Jennie, is this how you speak to your mother? If not for me, do you think you could live a life as luxurious as you have? You were treated like a young mistress!”
Young mistress? I nearly scoffed out loud.
If she wasn’t my mom, I would have hung her up.

“Mom, I was clear enough. I can’t do anything for you. You can only come stay with me and I’ll take care of you.” I sighed once again, hoping that mom would understand.
Mom got even more triggered and screamed: “If you don’t help me stay in the family and get rid of that woman, I’ll go and die!”
I couldn’t believe my own ears, why is my mom so……
“Mom, who do you think I am? Do you think I can stop Uncle Mason from marrying any woman?” I argued.
In the middle of the night, someone kept ringing my door bell. I got out of the bed and go to the door. I was Wendy.
