Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 53

 

Chapter 53 The Worst Is Over

I couldn’t move my legs after seeing my mom in that state. She was afraid, and she must be bewildered as well.

In fact, I really wanted to stay. But upon thinking of my dad’s temper and his illness, I felt helpless.

I stood there contemplating what to do for a few minutes. Before I had made up my mind, I heard the sound of keys opening the door.

My mother and I were startled and exchanged glances.

I turned around to look at the door, and it was my dad who had come home. I turned nervous instantly.

 

My mother squeezed my palms assuringly. It felt somewhat soothing. Then, she approached my dad.

My dad seemed to be having a good mood when he entered the house. But when he looked up and saw me, he froze.

 

“Dad,” I called out to him softly.

He ignored me. My mother helped him with his briefcase, trying to ease the situation. “Darling, it’s rare for our daughter to come home. Don’t be so stern. Let’s calm down and talk. How could father and daughter harbor overnight grudges?”

After that, my mother signaled at me with her eyes.

Catching onto her meaning, I walked over and said, “Dad, I’ll make you a cup of tea.”

“Yes, quickly. Remember to let the water boil before you pour it in. Darling, come, let’s sit on the couch.”

My mom took my dad to the sofa, as I put some tea leaves into a clay teapot and went into the kitchen.

I was in a daze while waiting for the water to boil. I was afraid of my dad not believing in my words. The last time I left, we argued, and it wasn’t pleasant. Now…

The whistle of the kettle brought me back to my senses.
