Private Detective Wang [ZhanYi FF] with MPREG special / Complete

Chapter 42 - Togetherness

A week ago we came back home and have since settled back in and started our daily routine. Whereby it is not yet really like a daily routine, because we are currently also fully underway with our move.

We bought furniture in a furniture store. Although they would have been cheaper online, but the delivery would have taken several weeks. And so we were able to take the furniture we bought right away. We had specially borrowed a van. Zhan, my father-in-law and Grandpa Xiao assembled the furniture.

Now we already have a new bedroom, with a nice big new bed, a new big closet and a fluffy carpet. In the guest room there is a new bed, closet and a table with two chairs. For the living room, we bought several sideboards because we don't want tall cabinets there. The new sofa, with the new table and two chairs, will be delivered next week.

We also decided to buy new kitchen furniture and appliances after all. The kitchen in my old apartment is still as good as new, but it doesn't fit in the new apartment. The space or rather the layout of the electrical wiring is completely different. And now we have much more space available. We have even already ordered something suitable.

When I proudly told my brother about our progress and also about the fact that he won't have to refurnish the kitchen after all, he just asked me: "And why are you going to so much trouble? In ten years you'll have to move again anyway, so no one will notice that you're not aging." With that he reminded me of something that I had already completely repressed.

Nevertheless, I replied, "And that means that we shouldn't settle in nicely because of that? Ten years is ten years and it's our first apartment together. I want, or rather we want, to furnish it nicely so that Zhan and I can come home and we'll always feel comfortable." Then my brother could understand that and said nothing more.

However, the most amazing thing was the phone call I received after talking to my brother on the phone. It was my mother! She sounded cold and dismissive as usual when she said, "I thought about what you said and also read the letter Hai Kuan wrote me." I didn't even know about a letter.

"So?" I asked her after she remained silent for several seconds.

"I can't promise you right now that it will be quick. But I promise you that I will change. Of course you and your brother mean a lot to me, you are my sons. I admit that I forgot that when I started my new life. But forgetting isn't right either. I assumed you didn't need me anymore. You had always been so grown up and your brother had moved away."

"Hai Kuan moved away then because he had no other choice and no support from you as his parents. You guys were always just working and didn't see at all when he or I needed you. And I have to add, you had always been so cold hearted. While Dad had at least made an effort to be a good dad in the moments he was home, you just sat in the living room that was always taboo for Hai Kuan and me when you were home."

"Yibo I was constantly working at that time to be able to give you and your brother a good life. And yes, when I was at home then, I wanted to have my rest. I wanted to rest. But..."

"But what? You still loved us? Mom, be honest. You never cared about us. We hadn't even had a real Christmas. Hai Kuan and I were always alone. We had reheated ready-made meals at Christmas because you didn't have the time or the inclination to cook. You were always forgetting our birthdays. When one of us was sick, you didn't take care of us. Dad often sat by our beds at night and took care of us. You didn't!"

"I've realized my mistakes Yibo and I'm sorry."

"You've realized your mistakes? Really? Then why haven't you ever called and said, hey I'm sorry I was never the mom you and your brother needed!!!? You're not sorry. If you were, you would have tried to explain it a long time ago, and you wouldn't be coming up with it now after we've sought you out and confronted you about it."
