The next day, the cake was gone when I woke up. When I opened the door, I realized that it had been moved to the door.
Just how annoying was Theo?
I sighed. Thinking that I could not let Nicky see it, I crouched down and took it downstairs for Caroline to clean up.
Today, I was almost done with breakfast when I saw Nicky coming downstairs. "Why so late?"
Nicky came to the table with a yawn and a sleepy expression. "I was on the phone with my mother till late yesterday and almost couldn't get up."
"Quickly have breakfast."
She talked about her pain last night as she chewed on her bread. "My mother is too long-winded. I haven't been able to stand her nagging since I was a child. Regardless of her objection, I moved out and went to live by myself when I grew up. I only occasionally go home."
Listening to Nicky's complaints, I was envious. "My mother also nags, but unfortunately, I can't hear them anymore."
Hearing this, she was a little puzzled. She must know some information about me. "Wanda, isn’t your
mother..."
"I mean my adoptive mother. She's gone."
It was said that the grace that came with nurturing was great, but unfortunately, she could not stay long enough to enjoy the happiness. She left just like that.
"Ah sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it."
I smiled and waved my hands. "It's nothing. It's all in the past. I moved on a long time ago."
"That's good."
It looked like everything was back on its original track after the film festival. Everyone's work was not as urgent as before.
I tallied my data as usual.
