Sweet Addiction

Chapter 42 Go Home And Visit My Mom

Carl was sitting at their table with that female star. The star couldn't help being attracted to Aaron and Jackson. 'Wow! Indeed, a handsome man's friends are also handsome men!

Are people making friends based on their looks these days?' she thought.

Seeing that star talking and laughing like nothing had happened, Ada felt sad and couldn't stay for a while.

And then she said, "Well! I have something to deal with in the cake shop, so I have to go now." She then stood up and smiled at Irene and Helen, "If you have time, you can come to the cake shop to play with me."

Irene knew that Ada was uncomfortable, so she looked at that little star with a frown and thought to herself, 'Are these mistresses so arrogant now? This was all Carl's fault. He knew that we came here a lot, but he also brought this little star here to make us unhappy!'

So Irene stood up and walked Ada to the door.

"Oh, you should go back now. I'm fine." When they arrived at the door, Ada urged Irene.

Irene was a little worried about Ada, but she didn't know how to comfort her. Because Ada and Carl were not together.

So Irene signed to herself, 'Even the most upright judge could not settle a quarrel within a family!'

Then she just said to Ada, "Don't think too much."

Irene's deep concern warmed Ada's heart. She gave Irene a hug and said, "Don't worry. I have thought about this situation for many years. My heart is already strong!"

After saying goodbye to Irene, Ada went back to the cake shop by taxi.

In fact, she had already adapted to Carl's philandering. Although Carl had never molested her. Ada thought that Carl was very fond of playing, so she would wait for him to come back to her one day.

In the Xiao Family Noodle Restaurant

One day, Irene received a call from Nancy when she was checking the accounts in her restaurant.

"Irene, mom is sick. Come back to see her!"

Irene was stunned and immediately became worried, "What's wrong? Is it serious?"

"Just come back and have a look! How long haven't you been home! Besides, you are just in the neighboring city, not abroad. It won't take you long to get home." Nancy said impatiently.

"Okay, I'll go back today. Take care of mom!" Irene said.

As soon as she hung up the phone, she hastily went home, took her things and went to the B City by bus.

The B City was not far from where she lived. It was only two hours by bus.

After she got in the bus, Irene intended to call Aaron.

"Why didn't you tell me that? I could go back with you." Aaron asked with a frown while he was reading documents.

Irene explained, "Nancy seemed anxious at that time. So I was too hurried to tell you. Don't worry. I'm fine now. I will be back in a few days."

Although Aaron was a little annoyed, he said nothing, "Okay, then be careful."

"Okay, okay!"

Irene didn't think too much. Now she was only worried about how serious her mother's health condition was.

In the B City

Irene entered home, put down her bag and rushed into Bonnie's room.

But she saw Bonnie sitting on the bed, eating sunflower seeds and watching TV leisurely

Irene was speechless and thought to herself, 'Are you teasing me? Do you know how worried I am? !'

"…Mom, do you have a fever?"

Bonnie pinched her nose and said, "I have a runny nose."

"……" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Irene turned her head to look at the well-dressed Nancy and asked, "Didn't you say that mom was seriously ill?" 'What's going on now.' she thought.

Without taking a look at Irene, Nancy colored her lipstick in front of the mirror and lisped, "If I didn't say that. Will you come back?! You haven't come back for so long!"

Bonnie said with anger, "Do you have to wait for me to die to come back! It was okay if you didn't come home when you were at school, but why don't you come home when you're at work. I brought you up for so many years in vain!"

Bonnie and Nancy scolded Irene together, which made Irene feel a little overwhelmed and guilty.

She curled her neck and sat there, listening to their complaints.

Nancy was dressed and dashed out of the room. She thought that her mother was going through menopause and would make a fuss when she caught a cold. She had to stay with her at home. So she called Irene back.

It was more fun to go out with a hot guy for her.

Now that Irene finally came back home, how could Bonnie let her go. Bonnie sat on the bed and instructed her to wipe the room, the floor and wash the bowls.

Although Irene did her work without a word, she couldn't help complaining in her heart how her mother and Nancy would live without her.

After finishing the housework and cooked the dinner, she felt at ease and sat at the table.

It had been a long time since the last time she did housework, and she was not used to it at all. Knowing that she had been busy with the noodle restaurant recently, Aaron volunteered to do the housework.

So when she arrived at home, she usually didn't need to do the housework and just took a break.

Thinking of Aaron, she couldn't help but feel grateful for having so nice husband.

"By the way, haven't you found a job?" asked Bonnie as she watched Irene lowering her head and eating.

Hearing what Bonnie said, Irene thought for a while and decided to take this opportunity to tell her mother about the noodle restaurant.

"Mother, I have something to tell you."

Bonnie looked at Irene's serious face and also became serious. She put down the chopsticks and listened to Irene.

Irene was interrupted by Nancy when she was about to say something.

After Nancy entered the house, she shouted, "I'm back!" She had a very productive date today. That man took her to a fancy restaurant for dinner and even gave her a bag that she had been admiring for a long time.

Bonnie glared at Nancy and turned around to look at Irene. She raised her chin and gestured for Irene to go on talking.

Seeing the serious expression on their faces, Nancy also walked over and sat down. She raised her chin and also looked at Irene.

Irene suddenly felt that she was under a lot of pressure. She was afraid that when she finished talking about the restaurant, they'd yell at her again.

"Well, when I broke up with Jonny, he gave me 100, 000 dollars as the compensation. So I opened a restaurant with someone else..." Irene said, observing their reactions. She was afraid that they might say that she had hidden the news from them.

"…Do you mean that Jonny gave you 100, 000 dollars after you broke up?" Nancy asked excitedly.

"…Do you mean that you open a restaurant in the A City?" Bonnie asked excitedly too.

Irene was stunned and nodded her head. It seemed that the two persons didn't react as she imagined.

Bonnie burst into laughter and her face turned red, as if she had recovered from her illness suddenly.

Well, her illness wasn't that serious before.

"So you open a restaurant in the A City now! How's it? Can you make a lot of money?" Bonnie asked hastily. As soon as she mentioned the money, she felt refreshed immediately and her nose wasn't stuffed up.

"Not bad. I just started it and didn't make much money."

Then, Bonnie asked her about the details of the restaurant.

But at this moment, Nancy had her own thoughts, 'Jonny is so rich indeed and I can't believe he gave Irene that much money after he broke up with Irene. Now that he has taken a fancy to Irene, then he will like me. Even if we break up in the end, I can benefit a lot from it!'

In the evening, after Irene went to the bathroom, Nancy secretly took Irene's phone and found Jonny's number. Then she quickly typed the number into her own cell phone.
