Got On His Love Pirate Ship

Since then, Ashburn didn’t come to see me for a week.

I went home, gathered all the documents for my visa application, and coincidentally, Mom was there.

Mom looked at the dark circles under my eyes, gently touching my face, and I rubbed against her hand.

“Haven’t been resting well, have you?”

I shook my head, telling Mom not to worry, just busy with my final project.

“It’s okay. Even if you can’t graduate, you can go help your dad and your brother.”

I didn’t say anything. Family ties were the biggest barrier between us, and I didn’t want to get involved in the family business.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing me silent, Mom also knew that I didn’t like interference in the family business, so she pulled me aside to talk about some mother-daughter chitchat.

“Honey, your birthday is coming up.”

Only at that moment did I realize that Christmas and my birthday were approaching.

But I couldn’t summon even a hint of excitement. People reach a certain age and no longer feel enthusiastic about birthdays.

“What do you want this year? Mom will hide it under the Christmas tree for you.”

I remained silent for a moment. “I want a talking teddy bear.”

Mom’s crisp laughter echoed through the villa, teasing me, “My girl is still a child, still liking teddy bears.”

I nodded. Yes, I still liked teddy bears.

“For the last time, Mom. After this Christmas, I won’t like teddy bears anymore.”

“No, Melody can like teddy bears no matter how old you are.”

I hesitated for a moment but shook my head.

No more, Mom. Don’t like teddy bears anymore.
