Bride of Mr.Billion

her hometown to celebrate the new year. I, a homeless person, began to feel lonely, so I picked up the

phone eagerly the next moment, “It‘s Christmas today. Do you know that? Are you coming back?” As

soon as the phone was connected, mother‘s voice came from the other end. Mother used to say the

same thing when she was angry. Hearing such a voice, I knew that she was not angry this time. So I

quickly said, “The company just gave us a holiday, and I’m rushing home. What gifts should I bring

back?

“You don‘t need to buy anything! It‘s good that you‘re back.” After mother said a few words, she hung up

the phone.

19170 I ran home in a hurry after hanging up the phone. As soon as I entered the house, I smelled the

aroma of rice. “Sister, you‘re back?” Betty greeted me. “Oh.” When I heard Betty call me sister, I was no

longer angry. I took out a long socks, which contained the gift I prepared. “A gift for you.” Even though

Betty was no longer a child, I had always habitually prepared long socks for her. I would usually put

some beautiful candy in her long socks, as well as delicate small gifts, such as headphones, necklace,

and so on. I bought this year‘s long socks a long time ago. I thought I wouldn‘t be able to send them out

this year. I didn‘t expect that it would eventually be handed to Betty. I was very happy. “Thank you,

sister.” Betty came up and hugged me. I increased my strength. We were family. No matter what, family

was always the most important thing. I walked into the kitchen and helped mother prepare Christmas

dinner.

“Mom, what is it that I need to do?” I said. “You don‘t need to do anything. Go wash your hands and get

ready for dinner!” Mom patted the back of my hand

“Got it.” It was the same in the past. I turned around and went to the bathroom with a smile. Everything

seemed to have returned to normal. My family was still the same, and my loved ones were still my loved

ones. Christmas was still the same as before, and I had also recovered from the loss of love. I was still

the strong Bella! Ten minutes later, the table was filled with the dishes made by mother and a bottle of

red wine. “Can we start now?” I had not eaten the dinner made by my mother for a long time. I was

looking forward to it

Instead of answering me, Mom looked up at the clock on the wall. I turned to look at Betty, puzzled. Betty

curled her lips and said, “Mom just called Ryan and asked him to come with us.”

Hearing this, I frowned, but my reaction was not as fierce as usual. After all, the relationship between my

mother and I had just eased. I didn‘t want to have a conflict because of a trash like Ryan.

“I‘m going to make a phone call.” Mother thought for a moment and got up to make a phone call. “Is he

still here often?” I asked Betty. Betty replied, “He has been here two times since you moved out. Every

time, he would come to ask mom if there was a chance that Herbert and you could be together again. He

would then leave in a few minutes. Mom was the only one who thought Ryan was still thinking about us!”

I knew Ryan wouldn‘t come back today. He usually came here to hide it from Connie. Today was the

reunion day of the whole family. He couldn‘t come here anyway.

79 180 Then, mother sat at the dining table with a depressed look and said, “Let‘s start!” Betty

immediately picked up her chopsticks and started eating. I was very upset when I saw my mother‘s

unhappy look. But after so many experiences, I could probably understand my mother. If a woman loved

a man deeply, it would not be so easy to completely erase that man in her life.

“Mom, you eat too!” I cut the steak for her. “Okay.” Mother seemed to still be in a bad mood. At this time,

Betty suddenly said, “Mom, why can‘t you see Ryan‘s true colors? He saw that you were useful, so he

coaxed you. He would ignore you if you were useless!” “Betty!” I was worried that Mom wouldn‘t be able

to take it anymore, so I quickly stopped her. However, this time, mother raised her head and said, “Now I

understand. I will no longer be at his mercy. You can be witnesses!” After that, she lowered her head and

ate the steak. Betty and I looked at each other and felt very happy. It would be great if mother could walk

out of this failed marriage. On Christmas Night, I stayed at mother‘s house. Betty and I were still in the

same room, Betty apologized to me. “Sister, I‘m sorry for what happenedlast time!”

I saw the guilty look on Betty‘s face and replied with a smile, “It‘s all over. We‘re still sisters.” “Then why

don‘t you move back?” Betty asked. “I want to find a house near the company, so as not to run back and

forth and waste all my time on the road.” I said. “That‘s true.” Betty nodded.

“By the way, you and him...” I was actually very concerned about Betty and Hank, but I was afraid that it

would affect the our relationship again, so I didn‘t say anything.

But Betty was generous and said, “He is very serious to me now. He doesn‘t even joke with me and has

been avoiding me. So I can only study hard now.”

Hearing this, I was relieved and thought, “Hank is really a good person. If he didn‘t like someone, he

wouldn‘t give them false hope.” Mom and I suffered a lot because we fell in love with someone who didn‘t

love us. If Betty could avoid it, she would be very lucky. “But my feelings for him won‘t change. He

doesn‘t want to fall in love with a student as a teacher. I can pursue him after graduation. He is my

ultimate goal!” Betty raised her hand to cheer herself up. Hearing this, I frowned. I thought Betty would let

go of this relationship. It turned out that she had fallen deeply in love with Hank...
