“I can’t say she’s wrong, but I don’t approve of the way she lives her life. I know I can’t rely on my mom anymore, so I started to learn to rely on myself, to work hard to make money, and to learn kick-boxing to protect myself.”

“My wife, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to hurt you. As for our parents, we shouldn’t judge them too much, they probably have their own difficulties.” Yigol Novak comforted her.

“I don’t believe you.” Suri Drew rolled her eyes.

“When I was in college, I was no longer dependent on her. I started my own business and relied on my own abilities to live. I wasn’t interested in relationships, because I believed that love between men and women is the most unreliable, especially sweet talking.”

“The only thing I can trust is my own abilities. Although she didn’t care about me, she gave me a lot of money. I didn’t use her money since college, and when I earned my own money, I took it to pay her back. Actually, I just wanted to anger her, to wake her up and let her know that the only reliable person in this world is herself.”

“But unexpectedly, seeing me like that, she became even more decadent than before.”

“She had no energy every day, and even though she didn’t look that old, she lived a less lively life than a 60 or 70-year-old old lady. I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I cut down on my interaction with her.”

The next day.

Yigol Novak, who had always had a precise biological clock, woke up early.

He hoped that Suri Drew would snuggle into his arms, but that intimate scene didn’t happen as planned, leaving him sighing with regret.

One of the morning necessities, Yigol reluctantly left the warm bed with Suri Drew.

When he came to the living room, his mother-in-law Sherry Woods was already up, dressed neatly, not looking like she had just woken up. Did she not sleep all night?

She was in high spirits, even her hair was still in the same style as it was yesterday, with clear fatigue on her face.

Surprised, Yigol hurriedly went over to her.

Sherry Woods quickly made a gesture of silence, reminding Yigol Novak.

“Ms, Suri hasn’t woken up yet, what are you doing?” Yigol Novak saw that Sherry Woods looked like she was going to leave and asked puzzledly.

“I’m leaving, don’t tell her, let her sleep well.”

“Yigol, my girl is quite strong-willed. You have to be more patient with her. Seeing the two of you getting along so well, I’m quite relieved.” After saying that, Sherry Woods exhaled, as if a great wish had finally been fulfilled. Yigol Novak had heard about Suri Drew’s family last night, and now he

Sherry Woods wanted to leave quietly before Suri Drew woke up, and of course, Yigol wouldn’t allow it.

He already understood what was going on, so he had to do something, or his conscience wouldn’t allow it.

“Ms, let’s find a place to talk.” Yigol Novak pointed to the door and said.

Sherry Woods agreed and followed Yigol Novak outside.

After closing the door, Yigol Novak said directly to Sherry Woods, “Ms, actually, there’s no need for this between you and Suri. She told me about your situation last night.”

“Ah, things have come to this, seeing you two living well, there’s nothing more I want.” Sherry Woods sighed.

“Suri is a good girl, but I’m not a good mother. I’ve neglected her too much since she was little, and when I finally realized it, she had grown up and become independent. I can never make up for what I owe her.” Sherry Woods said, her face full of regret.

“Ms, you misunderstand Suri. She told me herself yesterday that she never blamed you, never hated you, and it’s always been you who blame yourself.”

“Suri just wants you to see her as an example, to realize that people should rely on themselves, not be decadent all day long. She earned money and returned it to you just to provoke you, to wake you up. Later, she distanced herself from you because she couldn’t do anything about you and didn’t want to see you in a daze all day long.”

Sherry Woods looked at Yigol Novak incredulously, “Is this really what Suri said?”

Yigol Novak nodded, “Yep, she told me. In her opinion, you can’t blame everything on her father. If you could have been more attentive, more controlling, and not blindly trusting, things wouldn’t have come to this point.”

“Or if you could have been more independent, more clear-headed, you wouldn’t have become so decadent for decades after Suri’s father betrayed you…

“She did try to have heart-to-heart talks with you, but you resolutely held onto your thoughts, not listening to her. Later, she didn’t want to say anything more, because she’s a proud girl and wouldn’t keep nagging you.”

Yigol’s words deeply touched Sherry Woods’ tears.

Upon reflection, Suri had indeed tried many times to talk to her, but every time, Sherry Woods had firmly believed her own thoughts were right and would not listen to Suri.

It wasn’t until this moment that she realized just how much her daughter had done for her without her even knowing, and how she had misunderstood her daughter.

“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault. I didn’t understand her true intentions.” Sherry Woods said with tears streaming down her face.

They say that bystanders have clearer views. Sherry Woods hadn’t taken her daughter’s words and actions to heart, but now, after Yigol’s reminder, she was suddenly enlightened.

“There is a misunderstanding, but I think everyone has their own way of living. Suri is independent and strong, but she shouldn’t make you live her life. You have your own life, but one thing I do agree on is that you shouldn’t be decadent all the time.”

“Life is just a few decades long, and if you keep living in the shadow of the past, what’s the point of living?”

“Ms, you might not like what I’m about to say, but I still want to say it. You should try to get into the crowd, not isolate yourself all the time. Find a job, go to work, pass the time, or if you like chanting and praying, you can communicate with people who have faith. Go to church, and your heart will naturally open up. Those unworthy matters will gradually be let go, too.”

As Yigol Novak spoke, they had already arrived at the parking lot, and Sherry Woods had followed him there too.

“Yigol, are you going out?” Sherry Woods asked curiously.

Yigol Novak smiled and said, “Ah, yes, I’m going to buy some groceries to cook for Suri. By the way, Ms, do you want to join us? You can tell me what kind of food you like, so I can have it ready for Suri when she wakes up..”
