Chapter 32 Who Is The Mother
Mr. Gong breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't let Joanna down.
"Now that I've got my mother's belongings, I'll go back." Mr. Gong was going to give her a ride, but Sera stopped him.
She said "your son-in-law will come to our home tomorrow. Hurry up to get ready. Joanna is not a kid. She can find a way by
herself. "
Just because of the words, Joanna had to go back alone.
But it doesn't matter for her.
Rita and her friends were waiting for her in her rental house. Escaping from here made Joanna feel a little disappointed, but
more delighted.
As soon as she got back to her rental house, Joanna forgot all the grievances that she had suffered there. She quickly made
dinner with his friends and had fun before they returned to home.
Actually, Rita wanted to stay with Joanna, but Joanna shook her head and let her go back. Tonight, she would get along well with
what her mother had left.
After sending all her friends out, she cleaned the room. Sitting on the bed, she opened her mother's jewelry box.
She had heard from her father that the two sets of golden jewelry were given to her mother by her grandmother. As for others,
Joanna didn't know where did they come from, and her father never talked about it.
When checking jewelries, she noticed that except the two sets of golden ornaments, all the other ornaments were of old colors,
and one of the items was black. It must be a silver chain. Joanna intended to clean up all those jewelry overnight, one was even
covered by soil.
It was put in the last place. Joanna took out a white toothpaste and washed Silver Necklace and bracelets. The original black
jewelries were now shining after she washed them.
These jewelries were not much, the most serious pollution is the one stained with soil.
Joanna wiped the dirt with warm water and towel carefully. As she wiped, she was surprised to find that the pendant of the
necklace was unusually beautiful and colorful.
It was shining like a diamond, reflecting a lot of brilliant lights in the light. Although Joanna couldn't recognize what kind of gem it
was, she liked it at the first sight.
After Joanna washed all the jewelries thoroughly, she remembered that movie.
"Yes, it's like the heart of the ocean in the Titanic. My mother was fashionable when she was young." Joanna thought.
Joanna held the pendant carefully in case it fell to the ground and broke. Of course, she didn't think how much the pendant her
mother had left was worth. Even if it was not valuable, it was belong to her mother. They were all her precious treasure. She just
hated her stepmother Sera for letting them fall into dust over the years
What Sera dislikes most is the necklace with this pendant. She had never worn it since she got it. Of course, with her vulgar and
greedy eyes, she naturally did not think that the thing covered with dirt would be a treasure.
The more Joanna looked at the blue gem, the more she liked it. After she looked at it under the light, she found that the gem
looked like a diamond.
She searched the informations online immediately. After comparing all the information, she was still not sure if it's a diamond.
Finally, she put away the "heart of the ocean" Pendant by herself. She was thinking about asking someone to check whether it
was a real diamond or some other valuable gem.
The next day was weekend. Joanna was supposed to wake up naturally, but she was woken up by a phone call.
Joanna took the phone and it turned out to be her stepmother, she frowned.
She was supposed to stay at home and get along well with her future son-in-law today. How could she remember to call her.
But Joanna didn't dare to refuse her call. What if it's about her father?
"Hello."
Before Joanna could finish her sentence, she heard a voice from the other end of the line. It was from Sera.
"Silly girl, what time is it now? Why don't you show up? Let me tell you. Jack is your son by name now. You'd better come back
for dinner today. In case Gary asks about it, he won't believe what we have said. "
Joanna was depressed because of her terrible attitude. It was her who asked for help. But as she didn't have a mother, she
couldn't expect her stepmother to be kind to her.
Then she said, "Okay, I know. I'll be back soon."
She didn't want to take part in such a drama, nor did she want to see the fiancé of Emily. Anyway, she had nothing to talk about
with them, and they wouldn't see each other in the future. But for her father's sake, Joanna agreed to go.
It had to be admitted that Emily was very insightful this time. Gary was the heir of the Gao family. Although he was not the only
one, the Gao family was a wealthy family. Even if he got a piece of the cake in the future, he would lead a comfortable life.
Gary was also tall and nice-looking. Therefore, this time, it took Emily a lot of energy. She gave those who knew her secret a
payoff for keeping quiet.
The reason why Joanna came back home was not to have dinner, so she was sitting far across from Gary.
Sitting beside Gary, Emily and her daughter courteously served him food. Pretending not to see, Joanna continued to peel the
shrimps for Jack.
Although Jack is a little mischievous sometimes, he behaves well today. Perhaps he had been educated before, so he called
Joanna "Mom".
But it didn't matter to Joanna. Besides, he was cute and adorable.
"Mom, I want that." Jack pointed to the chicken drumstick which was put in Emily's chopsticks and ready to feed to Gary.
Jack looked at Emily firmly. All of a sudden, her heart beat faster.
He must be used to call her mom. Therefore, hearing the way he called her have made Emily feel guilty.
Not only Emily, but also Sera felt guilty.
She patted the chopsticks on the table and shouted to Joanna, "Joanna, take care of your son. Don't call Emily mom. "
Joanna felt wronged. He just said 'Mom' 'They are really guilty and fake.'
So as his mother, Joanna taught him justifiably, "Jack, don't be so rude, you know? You can't call beautiful girls mom. You want
to eat chicken drumsticks, right? Be good and let me help you. "
That feeling pleased her and she wished she could be called "mommy" more often. Anyway, they knew exactly who was his
mother.
