2865 Leaving him alone in an empty room?(3)
Mu Xiaoxiao looked out of the car window and was surprised to see a few servants standing at the entrance of the villa, bowing respectfully. The villa had clearly not been lived in for several years, but there were no signs of it being abandoned.
She asked, ” daddy, did you get someone to clean it? ”
Mu zhengbo smiled as he explained, ” someone has been cleaning the place. Let’s go home.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head vigorously. yeah, let’s go home!
She alighted from the car and the entire villa came into view.
In that instant, mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned red.
Home … I’m back.
It had been a long time since they last met, and he missed her.
He didn’t need to recall the many memories he had in this house. Just standing in front of the house, those memories automatically poured into his mind.
Mu zhengbo held her hand and walked in.
When they passed by the front yard, there was a swing bench next to it.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t even need to close her eyes. She could almost hear the laughter of her childhood.
A layer of mist appeared in her eyes.
Mother …
I miss my mother …
Mu zhengbo’s eyes were also filled with memories.
Mu Xiaoxiao could feel her father’s grip tighten. She couldn’t help but look up at him and see that the corners of his eyes were red as if he was trying hard to hold back something.
She chose to remain silent.
The two of them entered the villa under the respectful welcome of the servants.
The villa was exactly the same as it was four years ago. It was as if nothing had changed.
The heater was turned on in the house, and the cold air from outside was quickly dispersed.
The servant came forward and took the coats from them.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought of something and suddenly broke free from her father’s hand. Her eyes were red, but the corners of her mouth were smiling.
“Dad, I want to go back to my room and take a look.”
After she finished speaking, she went upstairs in a hurry.
In fact, she knew that her father wanted to go back to his mother’s bedroom and be alone with her mother, so she was considerate and did not disturb him.
He had clearly said that he didn’t want to be sad, and only wanted those happy and beautiful memories.
But …
Mu Xiaoxiao’s heart was still infected by the sadness of things remaining the same but people changing.
She returned to her bedroom.
Looking at everything in the room that was so familiar, she felt like she was in a dream.
She let herself fall on the bed and closed her eyes.
The smell of the room made her feel like she had returned to her childhood …
Before she could recollect too much, a servant came up and asked her to go downstairs.
She replied, ” okay, I’ll go down now.
She thought that her father would be reminiscing about the sweet past with her mother in the room. Why did he ask her to go down so quickly?
When she went down to the living room, she saw her father sitting on the sofa and waving for her to come over.
There were a few servants standing in front of her father, holding a lot of things in their hands.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and swept her gaze across the room.
“What are these?” She asked.
There was a gentle smile on mu zhengbo’s lips, but his eyes were filled with reminiscence as he explained to her, ” I just got someone to take these out from the safe vault. They’re all things we left in the country before we went to United States.
He looked into mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes and said, ” these are part of the dowry that your mother has prepared for you.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s heart was moved.
“The dowry that mother prepared for me …”
She looked at the opened brocade boxes in front of her. Each of the brocade boxes had her mother’s name printed on it.
“This … I have some impression.” She picked up one of the jewelry. It was a string of dark purple pearls, and the purple film on the outside revealed a mysterious luster. It was very beautiful, elegant, and Noble.
She still remembered that her father had bought these pearls with great difficulty and had given them to her mother. At that time, she was only a few years old and thought that they looked really good, so she had pestered her mother for them, but her father had refused.
