Chapter 85 Your Duty To The Girl!
Josiah returned to the old house after finishing work in the evening.
The maid opened the door and greeted him, “Mr. Guerra, you’re back.”
“Um, where’s my mom?” Josiah asked.
The maid replied, “Madam is reading the bible.”
“Reading the bible?” Josiah asked again.
The maid replied, “Yes.”
Josiah proceeded to the study room but was taken aback by the scene before him.
He thought. Mom seems to have aged more than ten years in just over a month. Despite her typical dedication to maintaining a youthful a
through a healthy lifestyle, she now adorns herself in nothing more than the
simplest home clothes. Her hair has turned noticeably white and a weariness clings to her.
“Mom,” Josiah called out.
Susan raised her eyes, noticed him, and greeted him with a reserved tone, “Why are you back?”
Josiah replied, “I heard you weren’t feeling well, so I came to take you to the hospital.”
“It’s okay. You go o about your business. Eleanor has already bought me medicine, and I’ve taken it. I’m much better now.” Susan assured him with a faint smile before resuming her reading.
Josiah asked. “What medicine did Eleanor buy for you? Let me take a look.”
Susan replied, “Do you know anything about medicine?”
Josiah admitted, “Not really.”
Susan dismissed. “If you don’t understand, what’s the use of checking?”
Josiah could see that his mother was upset. He mused. Mom has aged a lot recently. She even experienced headaches, which are probably related to the recent situation of my marriage.
Josiah felt a heaviness in his heart. He then approached and offered, “Mom, let me give you a massage.”
“Mm,” Susan acknowledged softly.
Standing behind his mother, Josiah gently massaged her temples with his fingertips. He asked, “How do you feel, Mom? Does it feel better?”
Susan closed her eyes and replied weakly, “How could it not be good? You learned massage techniques from an experienced therapist.”

“No need. You didn’t learn it for me in the first place, Susan refused, causing Josiah’s hands to pause.
Susan then gently brushed away his hand and pointed to the door, stating, “Alright, you’ve shown filial piety. No one can deny that. You can go now.”
“This is my home. Where else would I go?” Josiah asked.
Susan teased, “Go back to Lysanne. You abandoned your wife and child, took the blame, and went to jail for her. Don’t you love her? Be with her. Why stay with an old woman like me?”
Josiah’s expression turned grim. He took a deep breath before asking, “Didn’t you also like Lysanne before?”
“I like her because she is Mr. Thorne’s daughter. I treat her well for the sake of our old neighbors and friends, but that doesn’t mean I will allow her to destroy my son’s marriage!” Susan retorted. She was outraged, speaking each word with emphasis and emotion.
Susan stopped her prayer and turned to
Josiah lowered his head slightly, gritting his teeth.

Update pls~...
Why no update ???...
Chapters 692 693 ans 694 are impossible to read. Not sure if there was an issue with translation.but the words do not make sense..impossible to follow story line...
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
