BXBX NOVEL Chapter 77: Mom's feelings!
Zhao Tian's eyes softened upon hearing this, he didn't expect that his Mom had sacrificed her youthful life to take care of both him and Zhao Ying.
Hearing the story from her Mom, Zhao Ying's eyes quivered, a feeling of regret and guilt washing over her heart and she quickly hugged Zhao Suyin "S-Sorry, Mom... I am so sorry... I-I said such terrible things.. I didn't know t-that.. sorry, so sorry... Mom."
Zhao Suyin smiled gently patting Zhao Ying's back "It's okay dear..." *sigh* A sigh left her lips "That's why I am so against both of you dating... Doesn't that make me a terrible mom and if someday my sister came and asked about that, I..."
Zhao Ying pulled away from the embrace, meeting her Mother's gaze with a mixture of fear and desperation "B-But I love him so much, I can't leave him..." Hearing this, Zhao Suyin glanced over at Zhao Tian.
Zhao Tian smiled softly and gave a nod. Zhao Ying also looked at her expectantly "M-Mom, please... Mom. If our real mother ever came, I'll talk to her."
With a soft chuckle, Zhao Tian wrapped his arm around Zhao Suyin's shoulder "Don't worry, Ying'er. Mom will agree to our relationship, right Mom?"
Zhao Suyin glimpsed at him and seeing her son's tender eyes, she couldn't resist and gave in "Ok, then..."
"Yay!!" Excitement bubbled up inside Zhao Ying as she sprang out of bed, joyfully jumping up and down while darting around the room like a carefree child who got a new toy.
"I love, Tian'er!"
"I love him!!!"
Zhao Suyin shook her head with a sigh seeing her antics, but looking at the bright smile on Zhao Ying's face and her laughter, she couldn't help but smile too.
Zhao Tian chuckled softly seeing his sister's cute stunts. hearing his chuckle, Zhao Suyin turned her eyes to him "It was really a surprise... I didn't really expect both of you to be in a relationship."
"And you to love her too..."
Zhao Tian just smiled and pulled her shoulder closer to him "I love both of you, Mom." Zhao Suyin let out a soft giggle and kissed his cheek "I know, dear..."
"Tian'er!!" Zhao Ying rushed to Zhao Tian and sat on his lap. *smooch* She kissed his lips wrapping her arms around his neck and Zhao Tian too reciprocated the kiss holding her waist.
W-What? Zhao Suyin was bewildered that she dared to kiss him right in front of her eyes.
Meanwhile, Zhao Ying was filled with overwhelming joy, as the weight of uncertainty and fear that had plagued her mind since she confessed her love to Zhao Tian was finally lifted, now she is not afraid of what will her Mom think of her.
Now she is super happy that the issue has been cleared.
Retracting the kiss, she smiled tenderly "I am going to inform to Sister Miya..." she said hopping down from his lap and dashing out of the room.
Zhao Suyin's eyes widened and she hurriedly asked "T-Tian'er, what about Miya? How are you going to explain this to her?"
Zhao Tian smiled "She knows about it too. Both of them are my girlfriends." Eh? Zhao Suyin blinked her eyes in surprise "S-She is okay with you two-timing?"
"Yeah..." Zhao Tian gave a nod and Zhao Suyin shook her head helplessly "You have become so shameless and you have also started hiding things from me..." she spoke playfully pinching his cheek.
With a smile on his face, Zhao Tian moved closer to her, his lips almost touching her ear "I still have a lot of secrets to tell you, but I will tell them later..." he whispered as he planted a gentle kiss on her ear.
Zhao Suyin's ear quivered hearing his caress and she was confused. Even more secrets?
"But you also hid these secrets from me until now, right?" Zhao Tian asked and Zhao Suyin averted her gaze anxiously "T-That's..." she discreetly glanced at him "Tian'er, are you disappointed in me after knowing that I am not your mother? I-I mean, I am just your Aunt."
Upon hearing these words, Zhao Tian gazed at his mother's eyes, a tender smile gracing his face "Mom, you took care of me when I was small, sacrificing your life... For me, you are my real Mom and best Mom." *smooch* he planted a warm kiss on her forehead.
Zhao Suyin's eyes trembled with overwhelming emotions, causing her heart to beat relentlessly with sheer joy and she hugged him, tenderly planting a sweet kiss upon his cheek "I love you, son." her eyes brimming with motherly love.
Zhao Tian patted her back "I am grateful, Mom... you should have faced many struggles right? Thank you for raising me, you are my real mother."
Now Zhao Tian understood why Zhao Suyin asked 'Am I a good mother?' to him back in the bath, Knowing that she was not his real mom, Zhao Suyin must have constantly carried the weight of this fact on her shoulders.
Zhao Suyin's heart shook hearing his soft words and clutched to him tightly her eyes quivering in extreme emotions as she remembered the struggles she faced from her own family, her Mother and Father trying to send the two babies to the orphanage.
At one point, they even tried to kill these children, so Zhao Suyin cut her relationship with them and stayed alone to take care of them.
As she reflected on the distant memories, her eyes began to well up with tears, and she tightly gripped onto his shirt, her fingers desperately clinging to any semblance of comfort "Tian'er....." she cried burying her face in his chest.
Zhao Tian's smile never wavered as he comforted her, gently patting her back while she released years of pent-up sadness through tears. Her sobs echoed in the room, her tears staining his shirt, but he paid no mind to the wetness... he simply continued patting her.
"Tia-" At this time, Zhao Ying entered the room and she saw Zhao Suyin crying in Zhao Tian's arms sitting on the bed. Zhao Tian eyed her to leave quietly and with a nod, Zhao Ying left the room leaving them alone.
After a few minutes, Zhao Suyin retracted her face and her face was damp with tears. "S-Sorry, Tian'er..your shirt, I just..." Zhao Tian smiled and cupped her face in his palms rubbing the small tears.
"Are you okay, mom?"
Seeing his fond smile, a smile bloomed on Zhao Suyin's face and she nodded her head. "First go and wash your face."
With a light giggle, Zhao Suyin left his embrace and went inside the bathroom. With a sigh, Zhao Tian again looked at the suitcase and the two clothes.
Curiously he took the white cloth and it was surprisingly so soft. Hm? But what caught his eye was a small golden rectangular plate inside the suitcase.
He took the small plate and saw something engraved on it "Elayne Maverick?" Being confused, he checked the Suitcase and found another golden plate like that and saw the name engraved on it.
"Vester Maverick!"
What are these Western names? He got down from the bed and walked to the bathroom.
After Zhao Suyin finished washing her face, she lifted her gaze and stared at her reflection in the mirror. Suddenly, she saw Zhao Tian making his way into the room through the mirror's reflection, she turned her head "Tian'er?" she called taking the towel from the side.
Zhao Tian casually draped his arm over her shoulder and showed the small golden plate in his hand "Mom, this?"
Zhao Suyin smiled "Ah, I totally forgot about this. This is your actual name... I changed it because it seemed weird and gave you my family name. Maybe Sister's Husband is a Western man."
"Hm..." Zhao Tian frowned his brows. "Ok! Let's go and have dinner." Zhao Suyin said with a smile and Zhao Tian nodded his head. "Let's go then..."
...
After dinner, Zhao Suyin was washing dishes and she glimpsed at Zhao Tian who was sitting on the shelf with the golden plate in his hand.
Various thoughts are going around Zhao Tian's mind 'So now I don't know who my father and also mother, don't know where she is...'
'And this metal seems quite different, not gold... maybe a metal from High Star or something?'
Zhao Suyin giggled seeing him deep in thought and with the wet finger she playfully poked his cheek. Zhao Tian glanced at her "Mom?"
Zhao Suyin spoke, "Still thinking about your real parents?"
Zhao Tian sighed a little "Just curious."
"Then, the money you said Dad's money was actually the money you got selling that diamond?"
Zhao Suyin nodded her head "Yeah..."
So that's why she easily believed when I said about how I got my money, huh... Zhao Tian mused and got down from the shelf.
Having finished washing the dishes, Zhao Suyin removed her apron and looked at Zhao Tian "Going to sleep? Wanna sleep with Mom?"
Zhao Tian shrugged "Ok!"
