Since they had already decided on an abortion, there was no reason for Josh Batton to tell his mother the truth.
If Josh told the truth, Sharon Lindt would certainly feel sad about losing the child.
“It isn’t? D*mn. I was all excited for nothing…” Sharon said.
“Why aren’t you asleep yet? It’s already very late. Are you staying up to play games again?” Josh changed the topic immediately. He looked down at his classy watch…
It was already one o’clock in the morning…
“Yeah. My rank kept falling today. I’m not in the mood to sleep at all,” Sharon said.
“I can’t believe it… Are you still a child? How could you be losing sleep over your rankings in a game?” Josh’s tone sounded helpless yet affectionate.
“Sigh… I don’t want to either, but I can’t help it. Do you have any idea how many dumb people I met tonight? What’s wrong with the system? It keeps pairing me with stupid teammates,” Sharon lamented.
“I’ve got to give it to you. Hurry up and go to bed. Xyla and I will help you get your rankings back up next time,” Josh said.
“Okay. That’s the only way… Alright, I’ll get off the call now. I must win a single round before I go to bed. Otherwise, I won’t sleep soundly tonight!” Sharon exclaimed.
“Don’t do that. Sleeping late is bad for your skin. It’s even worse for your health.” Josh was nagging if he was a father.
“Alright, stop nagging. It’s annoying. Since that kid isn’t yours, hurry up and respond on Weibo… Spare your fans the tears…
“I was heartbroken when I saw how sad those young girls were,” Sharon said.
With that, she hung up the phone.
When Josh heard that the call had ended, he felt as if he were the parents while his mother was the disobedient child…
What could he do about his mother’s child-like temperament?
There wasn’t much he could do. So naturally, he’d just have to bear with her.
Josh pinched his forehead helplessly once again.
