Zhou Shuang felt a stinging sensation in her eyes when she heard her daughter’s sweet voice. Her heart literally melted.

  “Mommy is working,” she lied.

  She was afraid that Yanyan would pester her to go back home.

  She needed a reason to coax her.

  Yanyan asked sweetly again, “Mommy, when will you finish your work? When are you coming back?”


  “Mommy will go home once I’m done.” Zhou Shuang hesitated before pressing on, “Yanyan, sleep early with your sister alright?”


  Yanyan obeyed. “Okay. Mommy, come back soon.”


  “Okay,” Zhou Shuang softly replied in a choked voice. She managed a tiny smile and said, “Mommy will go back soon.”


  “Bye-bye Mommy.”


  “Bye-bye……”


  Zhou Shuang’s smile disappeared as the call ended. She glanced ahead and her eyes seemed empty and lonely.

  She was sad and lost……

  In the future, the children wouldn’t be with her. She won’t hear them calling her ‘mommy’.

  Her eyes welled up with tears, and the bright, brilliant city lights reflected in her eyes.

  It sparkled like stars in the sky.

  As the children might come over to stay with her in the future, she rented an apartment with three rooms. It was near her workplace.

  The facilities were good and there was a huge playground.

  She knew that she wouldn’t have many opportunities to meet them in the future. But when she saw this apartment and the facilities it had, she just knew that the children would love it.

  She stood in front of the windows and peered out. There were children below playing slides and chasing each other. They looked so happy.

  Zhou Shuang thought of the triplets and her face lit up with a smile.

  She finished a cup of water and she turned around. The spacious living room was fully furnished with furniture and decorations, but it still felt empty and lonely.

  Zhou Shuang knew that the problem lies with her heart.

  The children had never left her side since the day that they were born. She had toyed with the idea of going on a vacation by herself. But she abandoned that idea because she couldn’t bear to leave them behind.Read more chapter at FreeWebNovel

  She knew that she loved them too much. And the children were all that she had in the Lu family.

  The children were the only thing holding both of them together.

  He didn’t love or care about her, but they had the children.

  She had never thought that she would end up like this one day. She might not be pretty, nor did she come from an influential background, but she was clear about what she wanted.

  She thought that she would never change for a man, nor hanker for something that wasn’t hers.

  But…… how ridiculous……

  The first time she was upset and furious, it was because a jerk had jilted her. But how about Lu Yinan?

  It was easy to enter a reverie when one was troubled.

  Zhou Shuang’s phone interrupted her thoughts. She glanced at her phone lying on the coffee table.

  It was Xuxu on the other line.

  “Hello,” Zhou Shuang answered and sat down on the couch.

  Xuxu asked, “You didn’t go home today?”


  Zhou Shuang replied, “Yeah, I’m at my apartment.”


  Xuxu became agitated. “Shuang, are you insane? You don’t want the children anymore?”


  Zhou Shuang softly replied, “Let’s talk about something else.”
