Chapter 1838


    “Are you going on a long trip?” Maisie nced at the suitcase.


    “Yeah!” The woman smiled embarrassedly and handed her a note with a series of numbers. “My


    daughter just had a baby! She lives far away from Cumulus City, so I have to go take care of her… So,


    here’s an awkward request. Can you watch over my house for me?


    “This is my home password. If you need anything, just go straight to my ce!”


    “I can watch over your house, no problem, but you don’t have to share your password!” Maisie


    chuckled. “Congrattions on bing a grandmother!”


    Maisie’s neighbor beamed. “I’m certainly happy about bing a grandmother… But by leaving, I


    can’t look after you anymore! I feel terrible…”


    “Oh,e on.” Maisie’s heart warmed. “You’ve always taken care of me, and I’m grateful. No need for


    these formalities, really. You’re making me feel awkward.”


    The neighbor squeezed Maisie’s hand affectionately, her gaze full of maternal love.

    “Oh, by the way…” She suddenly remembered. “I saw your mom around, right?”


    “What?”


    “She’s beening by these days! We even went shopping together at the supermarket yesterday.”


    Maisie froze, recalling the fresh fruits and vegetables asionally left at her doorsteptely. She hadn’t


    paid much attention, assuming it was from Daniel as he had done it before.Books Chapters Are Daily

    So, that was it…


    “Is there some tension between you and your mom?” The neighbor noticed the hints. “Maisie, no matter


    what, a mom is always a mom! Having your mom around while you’re working hard outside is always


    good, right?”


    Maisie felt a pang in her heart, an indescribable ache. She awkwardly smiled at the neighbor,


    exchanged a few pleasantries, and was about to enter her home when the elevator door opened.


    Cindy stepped out, carrying tworge bags, and froze in surprise upon seeing Maisie.


    Cindy forced a smile. “Maisie. You came home? I thought you were workingte, so…”


    “So you buy things again to leave at my door?” Maisie said calmly, “I don’t need you to buy things for


    me. You bought so much I can’t finish it all by myself. It’s wasteful.” “If you can’t finish, I cane over


    to eat with you, okay?” Cindy tried to appease, stepping closer, but Maisie instinctively moved away.


    “Maisie…” Cindy bit her lip, her eyes welling up. “I… just wanted to cook for you, take care of you for a


    while. I know I owe you a lot from when you were young, and I’mte in making up for it, but I really


    want to—”


    “Stop talking.” Maisie turned away, feeling upset. “Mom, you don’t owe me anything. Our rtionship


    isn’t like this because of one or two days. I’m fine. You don’t need toe, especially to care for me.”


    “Maisie!”


    Maisie didn’t want to talk more with her. She turned and shut the door firmly. Right after that, however,


    she leaned against the door, squatting on the floor. She felt an excruciating pain in her heart as if


    countless insects were nibbling away at it.


    “Maisie, I made some food for you and put it in the food container. It’s at the door! All your favorites.


    Make sure to eat on time!” Cindy was still calling from outside.
