343 Every Child Goes Through I (2/2)
”Nervousness?” Cedrick asked.
”Yes.” Ye Shuang nodded in confirmation. ”Normally those who yearn for family relationships are those that lack that particular element in their life because they don't have it, so they desire it. But like you said, you didn't lack any love when you were young, perhaps just less than normal… Cough! In any case, it was probably curiosity that played a bigger part for you to start this search.”
Ye Shuang paused before suddenly praising Cedrick. ”Cedrick, you are a very handsome man, and even though it was not a valid career, it is undeniable that you've achieved something in your life, and you're quite famous for it.”
Cedrick was glad, but he was also confused. ”How is that related to our conversation?”
”That's the source of the problem.” Ye Shuang sighed. ”If it was someone who had nothing or was seriously lacking, then they would stop at nothing… or at least try their very best to grab this something that they don't have. But you are not lacking anything, so when you deal with certain problems, you are easily influenced by your emotions.”
Is this mother the same as the one in your mind? Will she love you as much as you love her? If you two really reconcile, what kind of change will it bring to your life? Can you really accept the sudden appearance of a completely strange mother in your life?
Ye Shuang thought about it before concluding, ”Life influences how we make our decisions. The more comfortable one's material life, the pickier one will be when it comes to the spiritual life. To put it more frankly, it is being too free after feeding yourself. If you don't believe me, put yourself in the shoes of a child from a poorer place who couldn't feed themselves day to day. If they realized that there was a mother out there, whether it was to treat her as a spiritual support or a lifeline, they would never let her go or even have the luxury to be so picky like you.”
Cedrick gave it some serious thought. ”I admit that you're right, but I don't think it is any fault on my shoulders to have demands of my mother.”
”Then what do you plan to do?” Ye Shuang asked. ”We've come back to the initial topic. No matter how you think, there has to be a final answer. Is it to accept everything because you love her, or do you want everyone to pretend like this has never happened and this is the final goodbye?”
”Hmm… Don't you have something else to do?” Cedrick changed the subject. ”Perhaps I should follow you for now. After all, there is no desperate need to face this choice.”
Ye Shuang laughed. She gave Cedrick a side-eye and did not even try to attempt to hide her caution and reluctance. ”With your wavering stance, what if you decide at the last minute that having a mother is the best thing and decide to betray me at the most crucial moment?”
”I'll definitely inform you before I stick a knife into your back,” Cedrick promised seriously.
Go to hell…
The breakfast-cum-consultation was over, and Ye Shuang came out of Cedrick's room with a bad feeling. When she ran into 'Tess', she even received a mocking gaze from the latter. Resisting the urge to flip the bird, Ye Shuang held her gaze and walked to the stairs. She had just arrived at the living room when he received silent observation from at least four bodyguards.
There were mainly two meanings behind their looks. This man sure is handsome, is he Madam's latest pet? Even though this is the villa, it is better for him not to wander around the living room.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
Out of safety concerns and how much Madam Grace cared about Ye Shuang, a character that looked like the leader soon walked over and politely asked Ye Shuang to leave. ”You can go upstairs to visit the madam or go to the media room to watch some movie… or to play a game. In any case, there is nothing interesting here. I personally suggest you return upstairs because it is safer.”
Brother Shuang was a spy, so of course, he would not let such a brilliant opportunity go. Therefore, Brother Shuang politely rejected the man's kindness. ”I just want to go for a breather, it's too oppressive up there… By the way, how is the setup coming along?”
The leader looked up with some hesitation as if uncertain how much he should reveal to a 'male pet'.
'Tess' stood by the rail to witness the show. After meeting the leader's eyes, he thought about it and nodded expressionlessly, giving his ally a small helping hand.
The leader sighed, and after getting the approval, he did not continue to be vague. ”We have our brothers patrolling the outside of the villa, and all communication in this area has been interrupted. Please don't worry.”
”Oh.” Ye Shuang nodded and then continued to push for more. ”Do you mind if I walk around the place?”
