Chapter 23


    Chapter 23


    Because of Charlie, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening when she returned to the Bet


    family’s house. They all


    finished the meal.


    Lauren went to the dinning hall to eat something, and decided to went back to her room. Her leader


    had urged her toe back


    many times, so she had to go back tomorrow.


    Going back to her room, Lauren took a shower. After that, she sat on the edge of the bed with a bath


    towel and dried her hair. At


    that moment, someone knocked on the door.


    “Lauren, are you still awake? It’s me.”


    It was Mrs. Bet’s voice so Lauren put the towel on her shoulder and went to open the door.


    Standing at the door, Mrs. Bet was dressed in a simple style, which made her look more gentle and

    soft.


    “I want to see you so Ie here,” Mrs. Bet said in a soft voice.


    Lauren turned sideways and let her in.


    Mrs. Bet sat on the sofa and, cing a car key on the table.


    Lauren took a look at it and it was a Ferrari.


    “This is a gift for you.” Mrs. Bet said and smiled, “I nned to give it to you yesterday, but I missed


    the chance and during


    the day, you were not at home.”


    It was a gift from Mom! Looking at the car key on the table, Lauren turned soft. She remembered what


    Jeffery had told her about


    Mrs. Bet. She knew how much she loved her when Lauren was linle


    But she was lost for 18 years. At that moment, Lauren didn’t know what to say


    Neither of Lauren and Mrs. Bet was going to say anything but Lauren still felt warm inside.


    “Thank you,” Lauren wanted to add ‘Mom’, but when she opened her mouth, she found it was hard to


    say that. Lauren lowered


    her head in annoyance, a little angry with herself.


    Mrs. Bet had been looking at Lauren nervously, and when she saw Lauren kept her head down,


    she thought that maybe


    Lauren didn’t like her gift. When she was about to say something, she saw Lauren’s wet hair.


    Mrs. Bet stood up, picked up the towel on Lauren’s shoulder, and carefully dried her hair.


    Lauren was surprised by Mrs. Bet’s actions, and she even froze.


    “Sit down,” Mrs. Bet’s voice was still very gentle.


    Lauren sat on the sofa, while Mrs. Bet standing behind her to dry her hair slowly.


    At this moment, Lauren suddenly wanted to turn back time and be a child, so that she could throw


    herself into her mother’s


    arms without hesitation. So there wouldn’t be a eighteen-year river between them.


    Lauren reviewed herself and thought she shouldn’t take a tough attitude before. There must always be


    someone who takes a step


    backwards first. She should do that for her mother. She was her mother’s daughter.


    After practicing saying Mom quietly, Lauren clenched her fists and summoned up her courage to


    pronounce the word Mom


    which she had been reading in her dreams for more than ten years.


    However, before she could say it, Mrs. Bet said, “You have really beautiful hair.”


    Lauren observed her mother’s hair, which was also very silky.


    “I got in from you,” After saying that, Lauren immediately lowered her head in shyness. Mrs. Bet


    said. “Yes, you are my


    daughter and of course you like me.”
