Chapter 421: Chapter 420 The Reason for An Nan’s Departure
In the darkness, she nodded silently and then spoke: "There are so many things, I don’t know where to start."
"Well, then first tell me why you suddenly left that night." Lin Mubai took the initiative to divert the topic for the person in his arms.
"That night, in the middle of the night, I received a call, an old friend’s call. Suddenly, a lot of things came to my mind, and I became very restless. I really didn’t know what to do, so I decided to go out for a walk to ease my mind. Later, I was afraid you would worry, so I said there was a flight mission."
Just as An Nan finished speaking, her buttocks were suddenly slapped hard.
An Nan immediately let out a cry: "Lin Mubai, why are you hitting me?"
The most embarrassing thing was that she, being such a grown-up, was still spanked by someone.
The low warning voice behind her continued to reach her ears: "This is to remind you not to lie. If you dare do this again, I’ll make sure you won’t get out of bed for three days."
No one knew how he got through these three days, not daring to relax for a moment. Whenever his mind quieted down, he would keep thinking about this woman, about everything that had happened with her during these days, and his heart felt like it was stabbed with needles.
What worried him even more was this woman’s safety. He didn’t know where she was, if she had eaten, or if she was cold. All of this strained his nerves tightly, leaving him no room for relaxation, forcing him to keep working just to stay busy and not have time to think so much.
Until he had just walked through the door and saw this woman in an instant, the tightly strung cord in his heart suddenly slackened.
After the warning, Lin Mubai continued to prompt the other party to say what he wanted to know: "Where did you go after that?"
An Nan took a deep breath and continued to recall: "I originally wanted to go to the United States to see my former school, but later changed my mind last minute."
"Where did you go then?"
"I went to see my mom."
This was the first time Lin Mubai heard this woman mention any family member other than An Jiayou, and his heart was unsettled, unable to disentangle where such feelings stemmed from.
He then heard the person in his arms continue to say: "My mom is very beautiful and graceful. She was Dad’s first love, but they didn’t end up together the first time in their lives. Instead, Dad was forced by his father to marry someone else, and Mom left for the United Kingdom alone.
Years later, Dad used every means possible and finally divorced his first wife. After that, during a business trip to the United Kingdom, he met Mom again, and they reunited.
Dad brought Mom back home, but unexpectedly, Dad’s father still didn’t agree with them being together and tried everything to separate them. With no options left, Dad could only take Mom back to the United Kingdom. Later, they secretly got married there and had me—I was born in the United Kingdom.
At first, they had kept all this a secret from Dad’s father, but couldn’t hide it anymore and had to return to the home country.
Mom originally thought having me would change Dad’s father’s mind, but unfortunately, the result was the same. Dad’s father called them back just to separate them, even bringing Dad’s first wife home. That was when Mom found out Dad had a son with his first wife.
But she loved Dad and could only quietly accept everything.
