Chapter 84 When happiness knocks on the door(1/3)
The word mother has been hovering above his head.
The woman in front of him who was said to be his mother was extremely ordinary. She was even a little older than her peers.
It seems that life has not made her happier?
"I know."
"Wait a minute." The woman fiddled with her coat in a panic, then took out an envelope from the inner pocket, and took out a few yellowed photos from the envelope.
"This is a picture of you when you were born."
Her hands were trembling a little and her eyes were a little panicked.
"Look."
Luo Wu didn't say anything and took it with both hands.
In the photo, she is still very young with curly hair and a white dress, holding a chubby baby in her arms.
There is also a date of shooting in the lower right corner of the photo, which is 8:11 am on August 8, 2000.
Is this me?
Luo Wu asked in his heart.
"Quite cute."
"And this one, it was taken when you were two years old." The woman pointed to another photo.
"You look a lot like you did when you were two."
"Especially the eyes, which are big and round, full of shining light."
"It's like a gift from God."
"Really? I have never taken a good look at myself in the mirror." Luo Wu finally squeezed out a smile.
This information is quite unfamiliar to him. His father has never recalled his childhood events with him in such detail. His truly profound memories started from playing football, and his happy time started from entering the Southampton Youth League.
The team starts.
His childhood is missing, and so is maternal love...
He took the second photo and looked at it for a long time.
Then, he suddenly asked, "Are there any more?"
For several seconds, the woman didn't respond. Then he raised his head and found that her eyes were full of guilt.
"No more, I only have these two photos."
"sorry."
"It is my fault."
"I shouldn't have left you at that time."
"Yes."
At this point, the woman burst into tears and started sobbing slightly.
"If I hadn't left in the first place, everything would have been fine."
"If your father and I could have calmed down, maybe..."
She muttered to herself, and then, as if she had discovered something, she put her hand into her coat again.
"This is my identification."
"My name is Ada."
"Your father should have told you my name, right?"
"I live in the small town of Eastwood, Nottingham."
Ada began to introduce herself, Luo Wu still listened silently, just as if he was listening to a strange story.
"Back then, your father was studying at Nottingham Trent University. We met in a Chinese restaurant. He was working as a study student in the restaurant, and I happened to be eating there..."
"Then, he took the initiative to invite me to attend their school's graduation party, and we became together after that."
"A month later, he proposed to me and then I became pregnant with you."
"The next year, you were born. We started quarreling constantly and life became very difficult."
"It wasn't until you were two years old that I learned a cruel truth."
"The reason why he approached me and proposed to me was because he wanted to get permanent residency in England. He succeeded, so two years later, he filed for divorce from me. The story after that continues until now
Already."
"He took you away, and I was determined to leave."
"After you left, I regretted it very much. I couldn't let you go. I wanted to take you back. I found you originally, but you moved away again. Until the end of last month, I saw you in The Times.
, I am sure that you are my son."
"You can call your father, everything I say is true."
Ada said so much in one breath, but Luo Wu's heart was already surging.
Does this sound like you are making up a story?
Not like.
These are just the simplest statements and memories of a middle-aged mother.
Although it is still unfamiliar, it is the past of my own family.
My father graduated from Nottingham Trent University. After graduation, he no longer has the right to stay in the UK. The reason for marrying a local man is valid.
The British policy is to live in the UK with your partner for 2 years after getting married, so that you can get permanent residency, which is the so-called green card, and it takes 3 years to become a naturalized citizen. However, if you become a British citizen, you will no longer be Chinese. There cannot be dual situations in China.
Country of Citizenship.
Luo Wu was also curious about why his father never became a British citizen. Instead, he retained Chinese nationality and only wanted permanent residency. Later, he also did not naturalize himself.
But it’s okay, he now has Chinese nationality, which is the best.
only……
Is it a tragedy that my father and mother are together? But if it is a tragedy, I have grown to 18 years old.
well……
Luo Wu finally opened his mouth.
"Father has rarely mentioned you to me, very rarely."
"Just tell me that you left when I was very young."
"Actually, there's no need to call. Your name is on my birth certificate."
These three sentences are nothing more than recognition of her identity.
Ada's eyes instantly shined, "Ah, thank God."
"Thank God!"
Thank God for proving their mother-son relationship.
"child,"
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't come to you because you became an English football star, that's not the case. I hesitated for a month and a half before I plucked up the courage to come to you."
"I just want to come and see you and the child I haven't seen for more than ten years."
"My child, the child I miss so much."
After saying this, Ada couldn't control her emotions, burst into tears, and almost buried her head in her knees.
If she were not Luo Wu's mother, then she would be the best actor in England and a flawless liar.
"Mother,"
"do not Cry."
"Don't you see me now? You should be happy, not sad."
Luo Wu took out two napkins from the table and patted his mother's back gently.
"Wipe your tears."
"From now on, if you want to watch it, you can watch it every day."
"You can stay with me as long as you want."
Luo Wu couldn't restrain his feelings anymore, except tears.
Everything that happened tonight was as magical as a movie plot, but it really just happened.
He really wanted to call his father, who was working in Africa, and ask him why he did what he did and why it caused so many tragedies.
But after thinking about it, it seems that such a question is meaningless.
