Bab 473: He Finally Calls Her Mommy...

Although he had yet to call her 'mommy' aloud, the intimacy he felt could not be replaced by simply uttering that term of endearment!

She walked to his bed helplessly and softly spoke to him. "Yichen, mom… aunt has to leave! You be good, okay?"

Yichen felt his heart ache terribly. He opened his mouth and wanted so badly to have her stay, yet he could not voice out anything that would make her do so.

He felt that he had no right to request that from her.

His head hung low from the desolation he felt as his eyes were filled with much longing, grief, and even attachment for her. However, he did not want to make things hard for her, so he hid these emotions away.

Ultimately, he said nothing.

Yun Shishi was heartbroken upon seeing his despondent look. She wanted very much to caress his face, but the sight of Mu Yazhe reminded her of his earlier words, and her heart immediately sank!
