Chapter 1012 - My Turn on The Stage (7) (1/2)

Mo Xicheng halted. He saw that Madam Mo looked embarrassed at once.

On the outside, Madam Mo came across as a good-natured lady, except that there was a certain melancholy in her eyes.

She and Mo Xicheng’s father were actually a loving couple.

In fact, all of these years, he had paid little attention to Yao Lili.

It was only when he betrayed their marriage many years ago that Madam Mo was cold towards him.

She had a pale complexion because of her poor health.

But even then, she had an aristocratic and elegant air about her. Logically speaking, his mom was a mistress only because of this woman’s existence.

But strangely, Mo Xicheng had never harbored any ill feelings towards Madam Mo. On the contrary, he had an affectionate sort of admiration for her.

Besides, Madam Mo was practically the only person in that household who had ever given him any sense of warmth.

As an illegitimate child, Madam Mo had every reason to despise him.

But he remembered a time in his childhood when he had been ill and his face scarlet with a high fever. His mother had gone out shopping for a new dress to wear on a date with his father.

The young child hadn’t known what to do.

At that time, they had been staying in a small apartment next to the Mo family residence.

He had walked out of the room and, the moment he saw Madam Mo, he had dashed towards her. He had hugged her leg and said, “I feel unwell.”

At that moment, she had looked upon him with an icy expression.

He jumped in fright and released his grip. Then he saw Madam Mo walking away and retreating into her room.

He stood in the courtyard in a daze. After a while, a housekeeper in the household walked out, picked him up and took him to the hospital.

Although it had been the housekeeper who had come to him, he knew that it had been under Madam Mo’s instructions.

Yao Lili had always been afraid of Madam Mo, but he had never felt that she was scary.
