Chapter 62 - 62: Let’s see what reasonable excuses you can come up with
And Sherry Woods, after enduring that man’s betrayal, had also seen the light and devoted herself to Buddhism. Her only concern in this life was her daughter.
Their relationship wasn’t great, and besides some necessary interactions, they had always lived their own separate lives. When Suri was sixteen, she went to boarding school.
When Suri was in high school, Sherry discovered that she had started working part-time to earn her own money, supporting her own expenses and no longer asking for living and tuition fees from her.
Before, their only connection was money, but now, even that reason was gone.
Sherry actually gave Suri quite a lot of living expenses, hoping that she would have enough resources to pursue her desires.
But later, she found out her daughter hadn’t spent her money at all. Her own studies and various expenses cost a lot, and Sherry had no idea where Suri’s money came from.
What on earth was she doing to make so much money?
Soon, Suri graduated from school. Sherry had no idea what job she found. Suri would still send her money every month, and it was quite a lot.
At this point, Sherry realized that she seemed to love her daughter so much she gave her that much money, but her daughter had become even more distant as she had locked herself away from the world, forgetting to care for Suri due to her father’s betrayal.
She hadn’t even realized how her daughter had grown step by step. She was really a failed mother.
But, at this time, Suri had already entered society and grown into a young lady. She didn’t need her mother when she was young, and she needed her even less when she grew up.
Seeing her daughter so independent, she felt relieved and glad that her daughter hadn’t lost a bright future due to her upbringing. However, she was surprised that Suri had learned kick-boxing.
Apart from her face, she was a genuine tomboy.
With her efforts, their relationship improved. Suri’s heart was kind, and although Sherry was a neglectful mother, her daughter had never reproached her.
After their relationship was mended, Sherry’s only wish was for Suri to have a good partner. She had urged her several times openly and secretly, but Suri showed no signs of wanting to find someone.
She didn’t even have any male friends around her, and Sherry was worried Suri would lose faith in marriage because of her father’s actions.
As the urging increased, Suri bought a house outside and moved out.
Suri said her work was busy, so living outside was more convenient, but Sherry knew it was because Suri didn’t want to come home.
Thinking about it, Suri had barely lived at home for years.
Sherry had visited the house Suri bought and only stayed one night.
She found that her relationship with her daughter wasn’t as mended as she thought. It was already very rare for Suri to deal with her on the surface. Since then, she would occasionally pay attention to her daughter’s life, but she never interfered again.
Even during the New Year, Suri wouldn’t come to see her voluntarily.
She hadn’t been a part of her daughter’s past, so she didn’t have much to say. She just hoped Suri could find a good partner.
Now, when she heard someone say that Suri had actually started dating and even brought her boyfriend home, Sherry’s emotions became very complicated.
It wasn’t strange that Suri didn’t tell her.
What she found odd was that Suri would even date someone?
She wondered many times if her daughter would remain single for the rest of her life.
Like all mothers, she was both happy and worried, not knowing whether the person her daughter had found was worth her trust for a lifetime.
After considering it for a while, she decided to check things out for herself.
The news was too shocking, and she wanted to see what kind of person the boy was, whether he was good to her daughter, and whether he could be trusted?
As for Bob Presley’s words, she didn’t care too much. Whom her daughter liked was her own freedom, and she wouldn’t interfere or even have the right to do so.
Unable to put her mind at ease, she quickly returned to her room, changed her clothes, and drove away from home.
Bob Presley didn’t leave, but waited not far away, wanting to see what Suri’s mother would do.
As he had expected, Suri’s mother left the house at this time. Where would she go? Naturally, to find Suri.
With the involvement of Suri’s mother, could Yigol Novak and Suri still be together?
Impossible.
Thinking about it, Bob felt extremely happy and felt that the pain from his injuries wasn’t so bad anymore.
He didn’t follow her, as that would reveal he had told the secret, which would affect his pursuit of Suri later.
As long as Suri’s mother could prevent Suri and Yigol from being together, he still had a chance.
At Suri’s house.
After dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, Yigol got a basin of hot water to wash Suri’s feet. He looked at her pitifully while washing her feet.
But Suri’s eyes remained on the TV, paying no attention to Yigol’s pitiful look.
Yigol couldn’t bear it and coughed.
Suri tried to hold back her laughter, “Come on, let me hear your reason and see what kind of plausible excuses you can make up.”
Yigol immediately started to play it up, “Honey, it’s going to rain tonight, and maybe even thunder. I’m afraid it’ll scare you. Also, the temperature will drop when it rains, and if I’m not there and you get cold, I’ll be heartbroken.” Yigol tried to act caring, “So, honey, let me stay in your room tonight, okay?”
Suri almost laughed out loud but managed to hold it back, “Previously, you forgot to tidy up the bedding. Then you claimed you couldn’t sleep without me around and had very important things to do the next day. Tonight, you’re suddenly concerned about me again. Do you already have an excuse for tomorrow?”
“Hehe, honey, you have to believe me. Everything I say is true.” Yigol laughed, not believing that Suri could be so heartless. He never thought using a cutesy tone would be so effective.
He used to think that acting cute was exclusive to women, but he never imagined he could do it so naturally.
“I’m telling you, don’t even think about it. I won’t believe you.” Suri adamantly refused, but her heart was already melting.
She thought, if Yigol could coax her for a week like this, she might just…
At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
The two looked at each other in confusion. Yigol stood up while drying his hands and said, “Honey, continue soaking, I’ll go get the door..”
