Chapter 722: A good mom
Yugi’s confusion wasn’t a lie, even though he knew what had happened to Finn. How could Yugi not know when he was the one who sent people to follow him? But then again, Yugi had no idea just how serious Nina was about her engagement.
Yugi thought it was all just a game — a puppy love.
After all, Nina was too young to marry. Considering she was a smart woman, he knew she would eventually snap out of it. Penny was like that; she would lose her mind for a moment and then snap back to reality.
But from what he had heard from his family, it seemed Yugi had underestimated the situation.
"Goodness. That little beggar and her goldfish memory," Jessa hissed, now eating some home-cooked meals in the living area of Yugi’s place. "How could she not tell you about all of this?"
"I think she told me," Yugi said, just playing with his food, barely taking bites as he lost his appetite. "I just thought she wasn’t that serious."
"Who? Nina?" Yuri frowned. "Yugi, you were only away for a few years, and you’ve forgotten your family’s personalities?"
"What a disappointment," Jessa hissed, while her husband shook his head, speechless at Yugi’s remarks.
Yugi’s lips curved down deeper, glossing his eyes over his family, who had come here to fill him with guilt. Not that he hated them for it. His family wasn’t perfect, and sometimes they were toxic, but at the same time, he was at fault too.
After going against Jessa’s wishes many years ago and following Penny abroad, Yugi didn’t dare show his face to them again. He was scared to death. After all, he had used up all the courage he had in this lifetime when he snuck out of their home to catch his flight. He barely had any left.
"I’m sorry..." he muttered with a sigh. "Mom, I promise now that you’ve forgiven me—I mean, now that I see you, I’ll visit you until you’re sick of me."
"You better not show up that frequently," Yuri advised. "Mom doesn’t like it either."
