Love At The Right Price

Chapter 25

The next day, in the hot summer, the afternoon sun was as hot as fire. In the comfortable air conditioned room, Tamara rolled around before opening her heavy eyelids.

She didn’t know how long she had been asleep; she only knew that although she was awake now, she was still feeling drowsy.

Slowly sitting herself up, she yawned languidly, having no intention to get out of bed and wash up at all.

After sitting up for a while, she finally felt more awake. However, she was immediately hit by a terrible migraine.

“How much did I drink last night? Why does my head hurt so much?” Tamara rubbed her swollen temples and found that she not only had a headache, but also a pain in her neck and waist.

To put it bluntly, her whole body was sore, as if she had been trampled all over.

“Mommy, did you sleep well last night?” All of a sudden, Tim popped up out of nowhere and gave Tamara a huge scare.

She patted her chest in horror and furrowed her brows. “You brat, where did you come from? Are you trying to scare your mommy to death?”

Tim revealed a cheeky grin that did not match his age, and a curious look appeared in his big eyes as he asked, “How did you sleep last night?”

Tamara didn’t know why Tim was bent on asking this question. She rubbed her neck and replied casually, “It’s not bad, but my whole body is sore. Why?”

“Oh?” Tim dragged the word out meaningfully, as if he had made a huge discovery.

This child had always been stoic despite his mood. Although he was only four years old, he always acted like an adult. Frankly, it was rare for Tamara to see him being so innocent and full of childlike curiosity.

Hence, as his mother, she couldn’t help but get excited. She stretched out her long arms and grabbed Tim, her bright eyes flashing slightly as a devilish smile bloomed on her face. “Timmy, are you hiding something from me?”

Tim shook his head calmly. “No, I’m just curious about what happened to you and Dad last night. Sigh. No wonder I was left alone at home. I guess you secretly went out to have a date.” He sighed, but his eyes were beautifully curved into a smile.

“What can happen to your dad and me? Do you know what you said…”

As she spoke, the memory of the previous night hit Tamara like a truck, and the memories began rapidly playing in her mind. When she recalled what happened last night, her words got stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t seem to speak anymore. That b*stard was spending my money on drinking and fooling around, and didn’t even spend time with his son at home. Did he sign the agreement thinking it was nothing?

Frank didn’t want to disturb the conversation between the mother and son, but after being ignored as he stood at the door for a long time, he had to speak up for himself. “If you’re awake, then get up and eat.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Tim turned his head and saw the tray in Frank’s hand, which made him laugh again. “Mommy, Dad got up early in the morning and made you porridge to nourish your stomach and help you sober up. You two get along so well.”

“Tim!” Tamara’s face flushed. She pinched Tim’s cheek angrily and huffed, “Have you become brave enough to make fun of Mommy?”

Tim giggled, stuck out his tongue, and turned around to make a break for the door. As he ran, he yelled, “Mommy, Godmother said she wants to talk to me over video call, so I’ll be going first! Dad will be around to take care of you!”

That brat! Did he catch something today? He’s not usually so lively. What happened to him? Still, ever since Frank came, he became a lot more cheerful, Tamara thought.

Poor Tim. He had to bear the burden of fixing the marriage of his parents at a young age, but his .. mother didn’t realize his intentions at all, wasting his efforts of acting cute all morning.
