Chapter 939 - My Only Mother (2/2)
Saying that she left and didn't look back at all. She didn't know what she was expecting really. Maybe a small part of her really wanted a valid reason for her absence. But she was bound to be disappointed in the end.
She didn't go back home yet, instead, she wandered on the streets without any destination. She looked heavenwards and asked, ”Dad, are you sure she is my sister? How can she do this?”
While her heart felt heavy and she was close to shedding tears, her phone's ringtone pulled her out of her sadness. Seeing the name of her son flashing on the screen, made her lips pull up. She took deep calming breaths before she accepted the call.
”How's my son doing?”
Darren didn't reply immediately when he heard her voice. He had always been a sėnsɨtɨvė person. It wasn't difficult for him to read his mother's mood.
”I am not doing well,” he replied to her.
”What? Why?” Francesca was immediately worried when she heard him say that.
”Because I miss my Mama,” he answered making Francesca shake her head at him.
”You scared me,” she rebuked him gently. ”And is this your age to miss your mother? You're already a father of a son.”
”All the more reason for me to miss my Mama,” said Darren. He took a pause and called out, ”Mama!”
”Hm?”
”You do know that I only ever needed you, right?” Francesca was startled when she heard him say that. ”You are my only mother. And you'll always be. Even in my next life, I only want to be your son. Just yours!”
Francesca's tear fell down as she said, ”Why are you saying this of all times?”
”Because I felt like I needed to remind you that there had never been and there can never be a better mother to me than you.” He heard her sniffling and added, ”Okay, now I didn't say it to make you cry. Stop crying already.”
”Aaa... Aow... Eee...”
Hearing those incoherent noises from Darren's side, Francesca paused as Darren told her, ”See? Your grandson is also telling you to stop crying.”
”He can't even talk yet,” said Francesca through her tears.
”But he can get the message across,” answered Darren with a laugh.
