The Second Love

Chapter 337 Deserved To Live A Lonely Life

I spent a long time on the phone with my mom, saying all kinds of kind and comforting words, but she just wouldn't listen. In the end, she insisted on coming over to take care of me. I was puzzled because she had never mentioned this before. I had no idea why she suddenly decided to do this. There was nothing I could do to persuade her, so I reluctantly agreed. And I don't know why my mom was in such a hurry. As soon as she heard me agree, she immediately wanted to hang up and said she would pack her things and come over tomorrow. I told her not to rush, that it would be fine to come a few days later. If not, she could wait for Lou to have a break and then come over, but she refused. I was completely confused. Even after hanging up the phone, I was still in a daze.But no matter how confused I was, it was all in vain now. Although my mom usually has a good temper and speaks softly, she is completely different when she sets her mind on something. She was in a hurry to pack her things and said she would come over tomorrow. There was no way I could escape. Since it had come to this, I might as well accept it. I would just make sure she didn't tire herself out and treat it as her coming to stay for a while and relax. Well, I actually miss my mom and dad, and I miss my mom's signature dishes. It's good that she's coming over. It's a perfect opportunity for her to accompany me and satisfy my cravings. And when I told Dominic Hartnell that my mom was coming over tomorrow, he was also very happy. It was sudden for my mom to come over, but it just so happened that Dominic Hartnell's mom was traveling, so we wouldn't be caught in any awkward situations. We could just focus on accompanying my mom. Otherwise, if both moms were here, I would feel a bit overwhelmed. Last time, when my mom and dad came over, they stayed in the villa. But this time, I didn't want her to stay there. Mainly because the house there is too big, and Dominic Hartnell's mom is not at home. It would just be the three of us, and it would feel empty. And it's not convenient to go out and do some shopping or sightseeing from there. So after considering it, I decided to move back to the city center. Dominic Hartnell had no objections to my decision. We didn't need to bring much with us anyway. After having lunch risotto here, Dominic Hartnell and I set off back to the city center. Although it has been a while since we last stayed here, Dominic Hartnell had already arranged for someone to come and clean before we returned. Now, as we enter the house, it is spotless, with clean windows, not at all like an unoccupied place. As for the remaining tasks, it is, of course, Dominic Hartnell's responsibility. I am only responsible for sitting on the couch, holding a plate of cantaloupe, and watching TV. In the evening, Shannon sent me a WeChat message with a photo attached. The photo was of an airplane ticket. She said she wanted to take a break and travel around, and when she had enough fun and felt comfortable, she would come back. She also told me not to worry and said she would contact me from time to time. I scratched my head, feeling somewhat worried, but also thinking that it's not a bad thing for her to go out and have some fun.Well, Shannon is not a child, she knows what she should do. After thinking about all this, I relaxed and handed my phone to Dominic Hartnell, saying, "Here, Shannon went out to play, but she blocked the destination on the plane ticket, and she didn't tell me where she's going." "If Benjamin Chance asks you about it, just tell him that. If he wants to find her, it might be fate. Otherwise... maybe it's just not meant to be." Dominic Hartnell should have finished reading it already. He locked the screen of the phone and put it back on the coffee table, then hugged me from behind. He rested his chin on my shoulder and said, "Hmm, I'll tell him when the time comes." I nodded, then suddenly said, "If he doesn't ask, don't say anything. If he's not even sad, who cares about him?" To be honest, Benjamin Chance's confession to Shannon last time was really touching. And I can tell that he was sincere, and Shannon also had feelings for him. Now that I am so happy, I hope Shannon can be as happy as me, with her own happiness. Although I don't know why they ended up like that, and I don't know if they will end up together in the end, I will help as much as I can. At least I hope Shannon won't regret it in the future. Even though no one knows where Shannon went now, with the abilities of those young gentlemen, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone if they really want to. Of course, if Benjamin Chance just foolishly holds on and doesn't take the initiative, then I have nothing to say. I'll just say to him directly: it's his own fault for a lifetime of loneliness! After talking about Shannon and Benjamin Chance, I took Dominic Hartnell's hand and left the house. We went out to have a risotto dinner and then took a walk to the nearby supermarket. Apart from buying toiletries for my mom, I also need to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables. After buying everything we needed, the two of us headed back home. In the evening, we cuddled up in Dominic Hartnell's arms and watched a few episodes of a TV series before going to bed early. The next morning, Dominic Hartnell woke up early and made risotto for breakfast. I was sleeping soundly, and he had to wake me up. After having a lovely breakfast, I called my mom to ask her when her train would arrive and at what time, so that Dominic Hartnell could pick her up from the train station. Actually, yesterday evening, Dominic Hartnell called to say that he would go and pick her up early in the morning. However, my mom didn't agree and no matter how much we tried to persuade her, she didn't change her mind. In the end, we had to let her come by train on her own today. Fortunately, it's not a holiday now, so there is no rush hour, and the train from Dellmoor to Lightspring is a high-speed train, so it should be fast and she shouldn't get too tired. But I didn't expect that when I called her, she was already at the train station, and in another five minutes, she would have to start boarding. It's only a little past eight now, and I didn't expect her to buy such an early train ticket. There's nothing more to say, after confirming the train number and arrival time, I reminded her to be careful on the way and hung up the phone. After Dominic Hartnell finished getting ready, he headed to the train station. The train station in Lightspring is located in the suburbs and is quite a distance away. Moreover, it is currently the morning rush hour, so there is a possibility of encountering traffic on the way, making it uncertain when he will arrive.With Dominic Hartnell gone, I found myself with nothing to do but continue watching the TV series. An hour later, as one episode of the TV series came to an end, I was just about to call Dominic Hartnell to inquire about his arrival when my phone on the table suddenly started vibrating.
