Chapter 162 Jeffrey’s comfort
Sansa Ran returns home a little disoriented, she can’t believe that Dean Lan is really engaged to Charmaine Qiu. One is her best friend and the other is her sweetheart, she just can’t accept this cruel fact.
She sat on the sofa, her mind recalling the scene just now, Dean Lan wrapped his arms around Charmaine Qiu’s willowy waist, and Charmaine Qiu nestled shyly in his arms, looking at the two so intimate, making Sansa Ran sad.
She recalls Charmaine Qiu telling her that their families are already preparing for an engagement, and Sansa Ran wonders what Dean Lan really means and why he is cuddling with another woman and engaged to be married.
Charmaine Qiu is the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, and her family is beautiful and well-off, while Dean Lan’s family has its own power . The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was not good enough for Dean Lan.
Just when Sansa Ran was feeling inferior and helpless, Jeffrey heard the door open and came bouncing out of the bedroom. He saw that something was wrong with Sansa Ran and sat down next to her very nicely and asked, “Hey, mommy is home so early, what’s wrong with you, mommy? Is someone bullying you? Where did dad go?”
“Jeffrey, Dean Lan got engaged to Charmaine Qiu, so mom and dad won’t be able to be together anymore.” When Sansa Ran saw that it was Jeffrey coming out of the bedroom, she hurriedly dried her otherwise somewhat moist eyes with a tissue and told him the outcome of the matter without hiding.
Jeffrey knew Dad wasn’t like that, so he thought he’d find a chance to help him explain, so he asked, “Is it true that Dad is engaged to Aunt Charmaine? No way, then how did mom know? Could it be a mistake by accident?”
Hearing Jeffrey talk about misunderstanding, Sansa Ran thought it must not be a misunderstanding.
She wondered why Dean Lan didn’t come out and explain if it was really a misunderstanding, and after so long he hadn’t even looked for himself, it was simply something the two of them had planned long ago. It was as if everyone around knew, but only she was kept in the dark.
The way the two acted so intimately and what Charmaine Qiu told herself later made her feel heartbroken and helpless.
She doesn’t know what she did wrong, why Charmaine Qiu likes Dean Lan and why Dean Lan is hugging Charmaine Qiu, maybe they are the most compatible couple!
Sansa Ran couldn’t help but recall again the scene she just saw, remembering the two people hugging each other that sweetly, her face turned ugly and she told Jeffrey about the things she heard and saw with some emotion, “I can’t be wrong, I just saw Dean Lan hugging tightly at Dean Lan’s company with my own eyes Charmaine Qiu, and Charmaine Qiu also told me that the two of them are about to get engaged.”
“And so it seems it’s really not a misunderstanding, how could this happen? So what does mom think now?” Jeffrey listened and nodded, knowing the reason for Sansa Ran’s sadness, and asked her what she meant.
Sansa Ran and Jeffrey said their inner inferiority, “Of course mom is not happy, but there is no way, in fact, I thought about it and think that the two of them are also considered to be the right family, mom knows that she can not compare to that Charmaine Qiu, also can not match Dean Lan, but mom can not accept this thing for a while. ”
Sansa Ran knew that despite her inability to accept it, it had become a fact that was right in front of her eyes. She felt that this might be God’s will, always dashed by cold water when she still had hopes. Before Sansa Ran could choose between friendship and love, both love and friendship abandoned her.
“Since things have developed like this, no matter what, mom you must pull yourself together, dad surely doesn’t want to see mom like this, he will be sad and upset if he sees you like this.” Jeffrey didn’t know how to comfort his mother and took her hand hoping she would pull herself together.
When Sansa Ran heard Jeffrey’s words, she knew Jeffrey cared for her and was worried that he would tell Dean Lan what he said, so she asked Jeffrey to promise her, “Dad? No, you are usually so close to Dean Lan, a father and son who talk to each other everything, don’t tell him what mom said, Jeffrey, you have to promise mom!”
Jeffrey heard what mom just saw and heard and despised dad a little in his heart.
He thought to himself, “Didn’t Dad say he liked Mom a lot? How could he suddenly be engaged to Aunt Charmaine? They were even hugging each other! Mom likes Dad so much, how sad she will be if Dad really gets together with Charmaine! How could you do that!
Jeffrey although the heart of this, but he knows that the adults of their own best not to interfere with things, after all, they are not yet grown up, and do not know more things than adults.
In case you can’t help mom and dad and give them trouble, it’s not good, dad likes mom so much that he won’t leave her alone, he believes mom can handle this matter.
“Well, yeah, that’s it.” Jeffrey whispered to himself as he fumed.
Sansa Ran saw Jeffrey dazed beside her and wondered what he was thinking about, so she gently waved her hand in front of his eyes and said, “Jeffrey, Jeffrey, what are you thinking about? What are you thinking about?” “Why don’t you share it with mommy?”
“Mom I didn’t think anything of it, you mustn’t be too sad about this, I believe dad can’t leave us alone, besides even if dad really won’t be with mom anymore, doesn’t mom still have Jeffrey?” Jeffrey came back to comfort Sansa Ran, told her not to be too sad, and told Sansa Ran he would stay with her.
Sansa Ran nodded and tried hard to calm herself down, then turned to Jeffrey and continued, “So what Mommy just told you, can you promise not to tell Daddy? Mommy doesn’t want him to know.”
“Don’t worry mommy, I promise I won’t tell daddy, don’t be sad mommy, you still have Jeffrey with you.” Jeffrey milkily assured Sansa Ran that he would not tell Dean Lan what she said, and gave Sansa Ran a kiss, “The teacher said that if the princess is unhappy she will be fine if she gets a kiss from the prince.”
Sansa Ran looked at Jeffrey with great relief and replied gently, “Mommy is happy now, our little prince is such a good boy.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
As mother and son hugged each other happily, Sansa Ran couldn’t help but feel a little heartbroken. She knew that Jeffrey was the only one who could comfort her now.
