Chapter 17: Miss Miao Is Not Here
Some things are better left unknown; knowing the truth almost made her laugh in anger.
As for why he called her 'Mother', she remembered it quite vividly.
She recalled him shamelessly flattering her back then, saying how beautiful she was. Having never read much, he couldn't come up with new ways to praise her, and hearing the same old lines over and over again became tiresome.
So she told the big guy to save it, saying she could be his mother…
Who knew that before she could finish, the big guy plopped down on his knees and smoothly called her 'Mother'.
It was quite startling; it utterly stunned her at the time.
Her original intention was to tell him to speak with more respect, not to adopt a son. She quickly said that wasn't what she meant and told him not to call her that again.
Yet, ever since, no matter when they met, he never changed his mind and just kept calling her that.
And so, it became one calling her 'Mother' and the other telling him not to.
