My mystery lover

Chapter 386 My Daughter Finally Liked It

“Finnley, look what I bought you?” squealed Faustinaexcitedly before she even entered the house.

Finnley wasn’t interested. Her mother had done this many times. The things her mother bought for her

filled up an entire room in the villa but Finnley never wore them. Even so, her mother would continue

buying them.

“Finnley, I bought you some clothes, take a look at it.” Faustina walked towards Finnley with shopping

bags in her hand. She put the shopping bags down and took out one of the clothes she bought today

and showed it to Finnley as if she was showing her daughter something precious.

“Finnley, take a look. Do you like it?” Faustina’s eyes were filled with longing.

Finnley didn’t look up. She glanced briefly and saw a black shirt. She didn’t think that her mother would

buy something according to her taste.

Faustina didn’t get angry even though her daughter was ignoring her. She walked over and put the shirt

right under Finnley’s eyes.

“I bought this shirt today according to your taste in clothes,” said Faustina all pleased. Her well-

maintained and nice-looking face was glowing attractively.

Finnley didn’t have a choice. She glanced at the shirt and she really liked the style. She then reached

out her hand and grabbed the shirt. She looked at the pants in her mother’s hand, it was also the style

that she liked. Why did her mother have a sudden change of heart?

“Mom, did you hit your head? Are you okay?” It had been almost 30 years. Finnley could never imagine

her mother doing something according to what she liked.

“No, I’m fine. I took all my medications today,” said Faustina jokingly.

“I bought one more set, take a look at them as well. I’ll return them if you don’t like them,” said Faustina

as she took out another set of clothes.

Finnley looked at the clothes on her mother’s hand. Both sets looked good and they suited her.

“What do you think?” The longing in Faustina’s eyes became intense.

“It’s fine!” Finnley didn’t want to praise her mother too much. Otherwise, she didn’t know what to expect

from her mother in the future.

“Wow, that’s great! Try them on when you’re free and show me.” After hearing what her daughter said,

how Faustina felt right now was indescribable.

“Alright!” promised Finnley. She folded the clothes and put them next to her legs.

“I’ll hang it up for you!” Faustina was as happy as a child who got some candies, seeing that her

daughter liked the clothes that she got for her. She grabbed the two sets of clothes and went upstairs to

Finnley’s room.

Finnley stared at her mother’s back. It was odd, was her mother possessed by something? Why did

she become so understanding all of a sudden?”

In her memories, her mother was strict with her since she was a child. She was very lenient towards

her brother, Kingsley. She didn’t force him to do things as she would to her. Her childhood was ruined

by her mother. She was turning 30 and she had never played in a sandbox before.

No matter what she did, she had to follow her mother’s wish. She would get scolded and labelled as a

disobedient child if she did something against her mother’s will, even if it was something small.

This family made Finnley felt like she was suffocating. Luckily, her mother didn’t disagree with her when

she said that she wanted to move out and live alone.

“Finnley, what do you like to eat?” Faustina came downstairs after putting away the clothes. She sat in

front of her daughter and asked her unwittingly.

“Me?” Finnley stared at her mother. She had never asked about what she liked to eat. She would cook

whatever she wanted and Finnley had to eat them even if she didn’t like it.

“Yeah.” Faustina knew vaguely about what her daughter liked, but there was a lot of things that she still

didn’t know.

“I like to eat fried chicken and anything roasted, I also like to drink beer!” Finnley listed foods and drinks

that her mother wouldn’t normally let her eat.

Faustina didn’t say anything. She listened quietly, stood up and walked away.

Finnley thought that her mother was angry. She felt happy. Her mother always limited her food choices

and only now asked about her favourite food, Finnley listed the food that she always wanted to eat but

was never allowed to. She also did that to spite her mother.

A servant brought out a plate of fruits. There was durian on it, Finnley’s favourite fruit! Finnley liked to

eat durian but her mother always said that it stank and would never let her eat.

But there was actually durian on the fruit plate. Finnley was surprised.

“Who bought this? Take it outside right now, otherwise, my mother would scold you guys if she saw

this!” Finnley quickly told the servant to take the durian outside so that they wouldn’t get scolded.

“Madam bought this, she said you liked to eat this,” replied the servant instead, they didn’t seem to

have the intention to throw the durian out.

“What’s my mother doing right now?” Finnley took a spoonful and ate the durian, it had been too long

since she had something so good.

“Madam is cooking right now,” answered the servant as they continued to stand there.

“Okay, you guys can leave.” Finnley made them go away and enjoyed her durian.

Whenever Faustina came over, she would make her food. Finnley liked her mother’s cooking, her

mother would make her food no matter how tired she was.

But Finnley never realized that. She was traumatized by her childhood memories and didn’t realize

what her mother did for her.

“Mom, are you sure you’re okay?” Finnley looked at the table and saw fried chicken and roasted fish.

She never would have thought that one day she would see such dishes on the dining table in her

house.

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’m okay!” Faustina wanted to take out the bones in the fish for Finnley. She

pondered briefly and didn’t do it. She thought that she was too overprotective of her child and pushed

her too much at times.

But she still couldn’t help but grabbed the part of the fish that had fewer bones and gave it to Finnley.

Finnley enjoyed the roasted fish. Her mother never let her eat something like that, but her mother stillnovelbin

cooked it very well.

“Ah, there are some bones.” Finnley got poked by some fish bones while eating.

Faustina wanted to stand up and help her, but she sat down after giving it some thoughts.

“Can someone bring some vinegar over?” Faustina told the servant to bring some vinegar to Finnley to

melt the fish bones.

A servant brought some vinegar over. Finnley drank a few sips and her mouth felt much better.

She never knew that fish had so many bones. She then realized that her mother was always the one

who deboned the fish beforehand and hence the fish she ate never had bones in them.

“Try to get the bones out before you eat,” said Faustina to Finnley.

Finnley didn’t want to believe that she couldn’t live without her mother. She grabbed a piece of fish and

put it in her bowl. She started the pick out the bones.

She really never knew that fish had so many bones. After a long time, her neck got tired and she felt

like she finally got all the bones out. She then put it in her mouth and only then she realized there were

still bones in the fish. Her throat got scratch!
