At dinner time, the mother and the daughter sat around the table.
"Mom, even the five-star chefs outside are not better than your cooking!" Michelle praised while eating.
Then she took a few more bites and chewed them.
Seeing her daughter eating with a good appetite, Olivia felt sorry for her. She knew that in fact, her daughter did not want to worry her so she deliberately disguised it.
She didn't know about the young man's mind, so she could not say anything. But she had also experienced such a thing, which was even more painful and terrible than her daughter's.
"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that her mother was in a daze, Michelle could not help waking her up.
"Oh, I was thinking about what kind of food I should prepare for you tomorrow. After all, it's not easy for you to go back home once. I have to make a good meal for you. The food outside is not good. You should eat more now. "
She put the chicken wings into Michelle's bowl with a gentle smile.
However, when she heard what her mother said, Michelle suddenly put down her chopsticks. She looked at her mother seriously and said, "Mother, after I come back this time, I don't want to go abroad any more. After all, there is nothing important at school."
However, what she said did not cause the surprise of Olivia, which confused her a little.
"Mom, aren't you happy that I'm back?"
After a long silence, Olivia said, "No matter what you do, I will always support you. It's good that you come back. You can stay close to home and eat more delicious food cooked by me in the future. "
"Yes!" After hearing what her mother said, Susan smiled again.
After dinner, Michelle insisted on washing dishes with her mother.
"Well, mom, you can go to the living room and watch TV." In the end, Olivia was pushed out by her daughter.
In order not to let her daughter find her uncomfortableness, she pretended to know nothing. She put the hot milk on Michelle's table and said, "it's not good for your health to stay up late. Mom cooked the milk for you. Drink it while it's hot."
"Okay." Michelle pouted and stuck her tongue out naughtily.
Olivia was amused by her expression, but before leaving, she did not forget to ask her to go to bed early. Olivia didn't leave until Michelle thanked her again and again.
Apparently, at this time, Michelle had no interest in finding a job. She just sent several resumes to each company. After drinking the hot milk cooked by her mother, she poured on the bed and covered her head with a quilt.
It was her usual way of sleeping. The house was warm in winter and cool in summer, so she didn't feel stuffy at home.
In another room, Olivia didn't close her eyes until she saw the light went out from the opposite room.
Of course she knew why her daughter didn't want to go abroad. There were too many memories there.
