Young Master Lu is Busy Courting His Wife (Part Eleven)

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'.
