Chapter 35

Although I felt a little regretful that I could not truly become one with my mother, my mother’s doting gave me great psychological satisfaction. This satisfaction lasted for several days, and even the boring study became more efficient. In the English test on Thursday, I was not only the first to finish the test paper, but also got the first place in the class for the first time.

After school, I excitedly went home with the test paper to make my mother happy, but when I opened the door, I saw her sitting on the sofa with a sullen face, sulking.

My excitement suddenly disappeared, and I put down my schoolbag and asked carefully, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

“Benjamin is back!”

Before my mother answered, my father came out of the bathroom. Although he had already returned home from work, he had changed into a light gray suit, his hair was combed neatly with hairspray, and he had shaved his beard. He looked a lot younger.

To be fair, my dad ‘s appearance is actually above average, and he looks quite handsome after getting dressed up like this.

He carefully clipped the tie on top of his tie, picked up his black handbag, and put on his leather shoes while saying to me,” Benjamin, Dad is having a department dinner today, and it may be very late at night. If I’m not home by the time you go to bed, don’t wait for me, just lock the doors and windows.”

I responded, and he walked over to my mother again, smiling apologetically,” Rose, I’ll be leaving first then.”

The mother didn’t even look at him, and waved her hand impatiently: “Go, go!”

Dad was disappointed and had to leave in disappointment.

After he left, I noticed a beautifully wrapped gift box on the coffee table. I didn’t dare ask more questions and was about to go back to my room when my mother called me,” Benjamin, do you have much homework today?”

“It’s not much homework, and I’ve already done most of it at school. What plans does mom have?”

“Since it’s not much, go to the gym with mom!”

“OK.”
