CHAPTER 659 HAVE A BABY

Chapter 659 Have a Baby

Laura never expected that Fannie would say something like this.

Nor had she expected that this was actually what Fannie was thinking about.

She was moved, and had mixed feelings at the same time.

Laura's biological father passed away long ago. It was Fannie who had brought her up all these years.

Fannie had always been so protective and affectionate towards her, so that Laura hadn't suffered even

a bit during the most difficult times.

Thus, she was grateful to her mother, but somehow, she had a feeling that her mother's life was

constrained by her.

After all, if it weren't for her, Fannie wouldn't have had to marry Diego back then.

Later, Fannie had many chances to get away from Diego. She could have run away to someplace

where no one knew her. As long as Diego couldn't find her, her life would have been much better.

But for the sake of Laura, who was a child then, Fannie chose to stay because Laura needed a stable

life.

She chose to put up with everything and choke back the tears, not letting everyone know how much

she was suffering.

Others might have no idea about it, but how would Laura not know?

She was totally aware that Fannie had made this choice mainly because of her.

So, Laura had guilty conscience all the time. Watching her mother getting old and her hair turning gray,

she knew she was the immediate cause for them.

If possible, Laura wished that her mother could have her own hobbies, interests, life, and a person she

would like to spend the rest of her life with.

That was why Laura was both moved and shocked upon hearing Fannie saying so.

She felt as if her dream came true.

Laura reached out to hold Fannie's hand, feeling a lump in her throat.

"Do you mean it, mom? Are you really going to have your own life if you go back to the south?"

Laura was a little worried.

After all, it had been two years since Fannie had come to Eqitin. Would she be able to get used to

everything if she went back alone?

Fannie gave a tender smile, raised her hand, and wiped the tears off Laura's face.

She said in a soft voice, "Of course I am, silly girl. I've thought it through before I bring it up. Don't worry

about me."

"But you, you're an adult now, and you act like a child anymore. You're blessed to be Max's wife, but I

hope you won't be spoiled. OK?" Content © copyrighted by .

Laura curled her lips and muttered, "I'm acting like a child."

Seeing that, Fannie smiled, saying nothing.

Max tried to make her stay. "If you don't like the climate in the north, you can stay in the south during

winter, and come back during summer, so that you can enjoy the best climate all year around. Besides,

the transportation is well developed now, and it's easy to travel."

Laura heard that and nodded immediately. "Max's right. Mom, spring has arrived, and it'll get warm very

soon. You don't need to go back to the south this time of the year."

Fannie looked at them, her eyes full of love.

She patted Laura on the back of her hand gently and smiled, "No matter how good it is here, it has

nothing to do with me, silly girl. This is not my hometown."

Both Laura and Max paused upon hearing that.

Now Laura remembered that her mother was originally from the south.

A long time ago during the war, Laura's father, Joris, who was serving in the army, passed by the town

Fannie lived in. The two fell in love at first sight and decided to be together.

Fannie followed Joris to Eqitin after they got married. Later Joris quit his job and the family decided to

move away, and the first place that popped into their mind was also the south.

After that, Joris died, and Fannie brought Laura up in the south.

Then, Laura came to Eqitin to find a cure for her mother's heart condition, so Fannie moved to Eqitin

again with her.

Having moved around for so many years, Laura found it hard to have a sense of belonging to any city.

She forgot that Fannie was different from her, though.

She had grown up moving around, but her mother had grown up in a stable and loving family.

Fannie had never talked to anyone about her childhood, but that didn't mean she had an unhappy one.

But as one got old, the place they missed the most was their hometown.

Suddenly, Laura seemed to realize why her mother must go back to the south.

Laura was touched. Even though she couldn't help worrying about her mother, if going back to the

south could make her happy, there seemed to be no problem.

Laura took Fannie in her arms as she thought so.

She rested her head on Fannie's shoulder and mumbled after a long time, "Mom, I don't want you to

leave."

Fannie couldn't help but smile as she heard Laura talking in a girlish tone.

She patted her on the back and smiled, "Silly girl, I'm just moving to the south. It's not like we can no

longer see each other. You can visit me whenever you want. Don't be such a baby."

Laura agreed with her.

Although they would be living apart, it was convenient for Laura to fly to her mother.

Laura's face lit up as she thought so.

Now that Fannie had made up her mind, no one could ever make her stay.

So Max could only say something to comfort Laura.

"Fannie is right. If she feels better living in the south, of course, we'll respect her decision. When we

miss her, we can visit her together."

Hearing that, Laura suddenly cheered up, let go of Fannie, and stared at her, saying in an injured tone,

"That's it then. I'll come back to see you as often as possible."

Fannie beamed a warm smile at Laura.

"OK. Come back anytime you want. If you're too busy, I'll come to you when you have a baby."

Laura blushed immediately as she heard that.

Max was, however, very happy. He cast a meaningful look at Laura and took her in his arms.

He promised in earnest, "Rest assured, Fannie. I'll work harder."

Now Laura was blushing furiously.

She nudged Max and grumbled, "What are you talking about?"

Of course, she nudged him gently, and it didn't hurt.

Besides, her strength was far from enough to hurt Max.

But in order to make Laura laugh, Max still howled in pain and stared at her in an injured way.

"Fannie says she'll come when we have a baby. What's wrong with that?"

Laura was now simmering with anger.

She threw a hard look at Max.
