Chapter 1472 - Mom Is the Best (1/2)

She had always said that she would take care of her master in his old age. In this current situation, would it still be considered as her taking care of her master?

Although they were both elderly and were in poor health at the same time, Old Master Zhai and Old Lin were treated quite differently. Qiao Nan pitied Old Lin for this difference in treatment and was in greater misery for not being able to fulfill her promise to stay by Old Lin’s side and take care of him while he was ill.

As a disciple, she had not fulfilled her responsibilities.

The next day was the children’s birthday, but the Zhai family was not joyful. Instead, the mood was somber.

Zhai Hua, who had just returned home, was unaware of the situation. Upon seeing his son whom he had been separated from for a long time, Zhai Hua happily held Xiao Bao in his arms and forcefully kissed his son’s face. “Xiao Bao, did you miss me?”

Xiao Bao, who was being hugged too tightly, pouted and disgruntledly wiped off the saliva from his face. “I did. Mom, when are you free? Can you send me to the nursery?” Every time he went to school, his mother had never appeared. All the other children in the nursery had joked that he was an orphan.

“Sure, baby.” Zhai Hua was extremely proud. After all, he was like a piece of herself. Even though she did not spend much time with her son, her son still treasured her as his biological mother. “Mom has a long holiday this time. Even after National Day is over, I won’t leave. I’ll send you to school then. How’s that? Then, during the National Day period, I’ll bring you over to grandma’s house for a few days and play with you four for a while.”

“Mom, you’re the best! I love you!” Xiao Bao’s eyes twinkled as he let out a squeal in his baby voice. His chubby little hands held onto Zhai Hua’s face and he puckered up his cheeks to kiss her. “Mom, why are you only back now? I missed you so much!”

With Xiao Bao’s sweet talk, Zhai Hua and Xiao Bao’s intelligence and expression completely changed. Zhai Hua was up in arms by Xiao Bao’s cajoling and after a few kisses from him, Zhai Hua was so absorbed that she could not tell the directions anymore!

In an instant, the whole Tian family could only hear the sounds of Zhai Hua and Xiao Bao chatting. Xiao Bao would ask a question and Zhai Hua would reply. Then, Xiao Bao would say, “Mom, you’re the best.” Zhai Hua would then smooch Xiao Bao’s face, replying that Xiao Bao was even better.

“This fruit is so fres.h.!.+ Auntie bought it today. Try it!” Seeing that his own wife was about to erupt out of jealousy, Father Tian quickly took a piece of fruit and fed it to Mother Tian in an attempt to appease her. “I ate it. It’s not particularly sweet. It’s a little sour, like the kind that you like.” This was not just a little sour. It was like a whole sea of vinegar that could drown someone in it.

Was it abnormal for a son to stick to his biological mother?

Even though Zhai Hua did not spend as much time with Xiao Bao as compared to his wife, it could not be helped since Zhai Hua was Xiao Bao’s biological mother and had grown up with Zhai Hua’s milk. How could it possibly be the same?

After she had spent enough time with her son, Zhai Hua carried Xiao Bao and said, “Xiao Bao, let’s go to bed earlier today. It’s your brothers’ and sister’s birthday tomorrow. We have to celebrate for them!”
