Chapter 1116: Chapter 1158: Puzzled

After Yueyue hung up the phone, Huo Junmo, who was sitting next to her, asked, "Was the caller your aunt?"

Ling Yueyue nodded, somewhat absent-mindedly said, "Yeah! She asked to have coffee with me tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Huo Junmo smiled slightly and said warmly, "Go ahead! The nanny is watching Tiantian, and now that she has started with solid foods, you don’t have to worry about her being hungry. Spend some time with your aunt. She hasn’t returned to Jin City in five years, and during these five years, Jin City has changed a lot. If possible, you could also stroll around with your aunt! Regardless of anything, she is your aunt and raised you for fifteen years!"

After hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Yueyue didn’t show any happiness. Instead, she seemed contemplative, saying, "Should I really go? Honestly, I don’t want to!"

Huo Junmo asked confusedly, "Why?"

"Although she is my aunt and I lived with her for fifteen years, to be frank, our relationship isn’t very good! Moreover, she suddenly left for five years, and I’ve heard nothing from her during those years! Five years is such a long time, long enough that I’ve almost forgotten her! Sitting together, I really don’t know what to say! Meeting again, I feel not happy or excited but rather uncomfortable all over, very troubled!" Ling Yueyue frowned, truthfully expressing her inner thoughts.

Huo Junmo gently touched Ling Yueyue’s head and said softly, "Feelings need to be cultivated. Talk and you will become familiar! Just like us, when we got married initially, we didn’t have feelings either, but eventually, they developed slowly, didn’t they? Although your aunt wasn’t very good to you during the fifteen years you lived with her, she lived with you for those fifteen years. In that regard, she did better and more than your parents! So, you should still sincerely thank her!"

After Huo Junmo said that, Ling Yueyue lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought! After pondering for a while, she finally nodded in agreement, "You’re right. Although my feelings for her have faded, in the end, she raised me for fifteen years, better than my own parents. I should sincerely thank her!"

Listening to Ling Yueyue’s words, Huo Junmo nodded with satisfaction, meaningfully saying, "Hmm! You’re right to think that way! When family harmony prevails, everything prospers; nothing compares to a family living harmoniously!"

Understanding this brightened her mood, Ling Yueyue grinned, "Okay! Tomorrow I’ll feed Tiantian well and then call her to arrange a meeting! I should thank her in person!"

Huo Junmo nodded, "Alright! If you need anything, call me anytime!"

Ling Yueyue tilted her head, looked at Huo Junmo for a while, suddenly smiled broadly, and purposely asked, "It’s really strange, you’re so respectful and kind to elders, why didn’t you suggest going with me to meet my aunt? Don’t you also want to thank her in person for taking care of your wife for fifteen years?"

Unable to resist teasing, Huo Junmo gently tapped her nose and joked, "I do want to! But I think the aunt probably only wants to see you now! She returned after more than five years, spent half a year to find you; if she didn’t care about you, she wouldn’t have come back to find you, let alone spend six months looking for you! So, I think during these five years, she probably missed you a lot and holds a special affection for you!"

"...!" Being so told by Huo Junmo, Ling Yueyue’s smile turned a bit awkward.

Concernedly, Huo Junmo asked, "What’s the matter? What are you thinking?"

"I’m just puzzled how five years have passed and aunt has changed so much! Does she really care for me like you said? If she cared so much, why was she so cold and hot towards me during the fifteen years we lived together? If she cared about me, how could she leave me like that for five years without any contact, as if she evaporated from the world? Although our relationship wasn’t deep, festive greetings were still necessary, weren’t they?" Ling Yueyue felt puzzled, even more, she was perplexed.

Back then, after her aunt married uncle, she left without hesitation! Yueyue knew her aunt had found happiness, so she didn’t persuade her to stay!

However, on the third day after her aunt left, she wanted to call to ask if her aunt arrived safely! Unexpectedly, when she dialed, the number was said to be invalid! She initially thought she had dialed wrong, repeatedly dialing many times, but the result was the same!

Unable to reach her aunt by phone, she finally realized she had been thoroughly abandoned by her aunt!

Before, she was a child unloved by her father and mother, but at least there was an aunt by her side!! But that year, she completely became an ’orphan,’ even the only aunt left her entirely!

So, after she heard Huo Junmo’s words earlier, she was really puzzled about how, if her aunt cared, she managed to be so decisive? Even changed her phone number without telling her? She once thought she might never meet her aunt again in this lifetime!

Not wanting Ling Yueyue to overthink, Huo Junmo comforted her, "Don’t think too much! If you have any doubts, you can ask her face-to-face tomorrow! I think, having come back specially to find you, she definitely has something to say to you!"

Ling Yueyue nodded, "Hmm! Everything will be discussed when we meet tomorrow! If she talks, fine, if not, it’s okay! After all, once she leaves this time, maybe we really won’t meet again for the rest of our lives!"

"Alright, stop overthinking, wash your hands, and get ready to eat!" Saying this, Huo Junmo actively took Ling Yueyue’s hand and led her to the washroom.

Huo Jiantian sat on the sofa, watching them leave, pouting visibly!

He felt like he had truly become a transparent figure in this house now! Earlier, his dad and the evil stepmother hardly noticed his presence! After finishing their conversation, they left without even calling him to join!

Is he transparent? Is he truly transparent?

Hum...!

Huo Jiantian angrily let out a heavy sigh! Getting up, he walked gloomily toward the washroom!

.........

Early the next morning, after Huo Junmo and Huo Jiantian accompanied Ling Yueyue for breakfast, they both left, one for work and one for school!

Ling Yueyue took Tiantian to the garden to play for a while, and when they had played enough, she fed her until full, then had the nanny carry her upstairs to sleep!

After the nanny took Tiantian away, Ling Yueyue took out her phone and dialed back a call based on the number displayed yesterday!
