Chapter 40 • Pt. 1

And then she left her alone in that huge hotel suite, somehow feeling lighter even though she had just risked everything.

Preeda was a little startled when she heard the door close and she looked at a blank spot in front of her, her heart aching in her chest and causing a small pain that caused a general discomfort in the rest of her body.

Was she really such a bad mother? Had she hurt Lisa as much as she had just told her? God knew that was never her intention.

She could accept being somewhat strict and controlling, she could accept being somewhat arrogant, but she had never sought to hurt her daughter in that way.

Sometimes she just wanted to spend time with her and make her part of her world and when she started to be friends with Chaeyoung it was a relief because Lisa would willingly go do girl things with her mother. But since she moved out home it was always a fight but she never thought that it was pushing her further away from her and that brought tears her eyes that this time she allowed to run down her cheeks. She didn't want to lose her daughter.

Yes, she resorted to some tricks to get her to spend time together and she had to chase her but sometimes it just seemed to be just Lisa's game to tease her, since she was a child she was like that, so this was all new and it made her feel miserable.

She disapproved of her career choice because she was terrified of what her future might be and was it so bad to judge her wardrobe decisions or the messy way she lived? Lisa was a lady despite everything and... sometimes Preeda just wanted her to fit into her world so that she would be accepted without problems, so that people would not speak awful things about her or treat her badly as they had done many times and she knew that they had hurt her.

Was she so bad for wanting that?

The door being opened startled her once more, causing her to turn quickly to see who it was and she found her husband, who had decided to stay out of the situation despite his obvious disapproval because clearly a boy like... that would never be good for Lisa.

"Oh dear," he walked over and sat next to her, taking her slender hands in his huge ones. "Is our brat making you cry again? It's been years since the last time"

Preeda smiled a little wistfully, her mind filling with little memories of Lisa at different stages of her life driving her crazy and making her tear a little here and there. Her daughter always kept the discussions with some sarcastic humor and confident attitude, saying between the lines that she would do what she wanted no matter what, so Preeda never realized that she was hurting her. Lisa's skin seemed to be so tough...

"What happened?" her husband asked her.

Preeda sighed and looked at their hands. "I think we will have to accept that man"

Ananda looked at her like she was crazy. "What?"

She nodded, confirming that she said what she just said even if she didn't even agree but Lisa's words had penetrated deep.

She scared her.

"She said he's an artist," Ananda stressed seriously, concerned. "What are they going to live for? And what if he gets her pregnant? How is he going to pay that and give her a home? No one will hire him if he has tattoos! Tattoos, Preeda!" he exclaimed in horror. "And if he leaves? I know his type, they love to play but not to stay," of course, he was worried about the future and it was like he could go through her mind. Yes, they both had their arguments and disagreements, but in general the harmony of their ideas was almost perfect after so many years together.

"I know," Preeda nodded in anguish. "And you know what I told you about him, he's horrible and I don't want Lisa to be hurt," she sincerely expressed, she didn't want her daughter heartbroken, abandoned and miserable.
