บท 248: Youyou Was Missing

Without a father to grow up to, she vowed to do her best to fill up this void for Youyou.

Once she started working, no matter how busy she was or how late she worked, she would always set aside time to have dinner with him. Even if she had to apply for leave, she would rush back home to accompany Youyou for dinner before going back to the office to continue her work.

Although her actions had resulted in much dissatisfaction, she had never made an exception and came back every day for dinner.

If there was an emergency at work or an appointment she could not get out of, she would let him know and 'beg to be excused' beforehand. Even though the little boy would protest and express his disappointment, he would at most remind her, in an upset voice, to eat her meals on time and return home as soon as she could.

However, it was rare for her not to return home for an entire night!

That time before was the first.

Last night was the second.
