The Second Love
When my mom noticed my silence, her expression turned slightly angry. "What kind of expression is that, child? Are you already impatient with me after just a few words? Let me tell you..." "Mom, it's not what you think. I'm not impatient, it's just... this matter, it's a bit difficult to discuss." I interrupted my mom's long speech in a timely manner before she had a chance to say anything else. Hmm... I'm wondering if I should directly inform my mom about Dominic Hartnell's parents' divorce, or should I just pretend to be ignorant and say nothing? Which option is better? If I say it directly, would it be inappropriate? If Dominic Hartnell finds out later, would he blame me for being too talkative? But if I don't say anything, my mom won't know anything, and what if she accidentally says something wrong one day? I'm a bit confused, feeling like neither speaking nor staying silent is the right choice. Lost in my own thoughts, I was almost in a trance, until my mom tapped my head and brought me back to reality. "Mom." I just started speaking, but she sighed and waved her hand, not giving me a chance to continue. She held my hand tightly, staring into my eyes with care and love, and her words were filled with deep meaning. "I know, you young people have your own ideas now, and often find us elders nagging." "But we have lived several decades longer than you, and even if what we say is not entirely correct, there is still some truth to it." "Whether it's me and your dad, or Dominic Hartnell's parents, we have spent half our lives together. There must be something worth learning from the way couples interact, right?" As she said this, my mom tightened her grip on my hand, and there seemed to be a slight trembling. I'm already quite sensitive at the moment, sometimes suddenly being touched by something unknown. And now, my mom suddenly came up with some profound words of wisdom, and with a snap, something in my nerves felt off. It's a bit inexplicable, but my nose feels a bit tingly. "Mom, I understand what you mean, but please don't say it so sentimentally. It's uncomfortable." I could tell that my mom was also moved by what I said, but she couldn't hold it in after my teasing and jokes, and she smiled again. With that, I also felt a sense of relief, and the previous tension that had been lingering instantly dissipated.My mom poked my arm and pretended to be angry as she scolded me in a low voice, "I was trying to reason with you, and you just had to be sarcastic." "You and Xiao Han have a long way to go, and there are plenty of things for you two to learn." After talking for a while, my mom still seemed somewhat dissatisfied with my previous attitude. I hesitated for a moment, struggling, and finally told her about Dominic Hartnell's parents' divorce. After hearing it, my mom's immediate reaction was to think that I was talking nonsense, and she scolded me without hesitation. Judging by her posture, if I wasn't pregnant now, she would have been able to hit me a few times. There was no other choice, so I had to speak with utmost seriousness and certainty, and repeated it again, almost raising my hand to swear.My mom stared at me with suspicion, looked at me for a long time, and then asked, "Are you telling the truth? Did Xiao Han's parents really get divorced?" I sighed lightly and replied, "Otherwise, what else? I'm not stupid, I wouldn't joke about something like this." "So, Mom, you have to be careful with your words in front of Dominic Hartnell, don't accidentally touch a sensitive topic." "Although he didn't show any abnormality, I know he must be feeling upset inside." My mom was a little stunned, as if she still didn't quite believe it. "This... how did something like this happen out of the blue? It's really..." My mom sighed, unable to complete a full sentence for a while. I didn't know what to say, so I could only sigh along with my mom. Just then, there was a light click from the front door, and both my mom and I turned to look.The door was already open, and Dominic Hartnell pushed it open and walked in from outside. I was startled and instinctively turned to look at my mom. And she happened to be looking at me too. In my mom's eyes, I could see that she had the same thought as me at that moment. That is: you really shouldn't gossip in broad daylight! My mom coughed awkwardly and stood up, then walked towards the door. "Xiao Han, you're back! After working so hard for such a long time, you must be exhausted. Sit down and rest, or go take a shower. It's so hot outside, don't overheat." I twitched the corner of my mouth, feeling the urge to cover my face and run away. If my mom had acted normal like before, Dominic Hartnell might not have noticed anything unusual.But now, he definitely sensed that something was off. "Honey, come here." I held my belly and walked to the middle of the hallway, waving at Dominic Hartnell. He walked over in response, while my mom turned and headed towards the kitchen. "What's wrong?" Dominic Hartnell hugged me and planted a light kiss on my lips. I thought it would be better to let my mom calm down first, so I held onto Dominic Hartnell's arm and replied, "Nothing, I just missed you." "You should go take a shower, it's so hot outside." Dominic Hartnell had a smile on his face as he held my hand. "You help me find clothes, whatever you want me to wear, I'll wear it later." I paused for a moment, then smiled happily. "What if I give you a skirt, would you wear it too?" Dominic Hartnell, full of indulgence, kissed me again and whispered, "As long as it's something you like, I'll wear it. Or do you prefer me wearing just a bath towel, like that night?" "You seem quite fascinated..." I shivered and my face quickly turned red and hot. This guy, he really dares to say anything, and he's not even afraid of being scolded by my mom in the kitchen. "Go, go, go, be serious. Your mother-in-law is here." Dominic Hartnell stood up straight, with a serious expression on his face, and replied, "Yes, ma'am!" I couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Pretending to be serious! Let's go." Dominic Hartnell went to take a shower, while I opened the wardrobe and started thinking.Hmm, my husband has the body of a top male model. No matter what he wears, he looks incredibly handsome. As I reminisced about the impressive and well-toned physiques I had witnessed from Han Da Boss in the past, I couldn't resist the urge to swallow and let out a soft giggle. The allure was undeniable... Out of the blue, a gentle embrace enveloped me from behind, and a voice, filled with alluring playfulness, whispered in my ear. "With that laughter, what mischievous thoughts are crossing your mind?"
