It was said that "absence makes the heart grow fonder." Although they only occasionallymade an phone call, sent a few messages, ambiguitieswareoftenno less than intimate emotion. Not only did Spencer's business trip not estrange them, but it seemed to have deepened their longing and concern for each other.Because she could go home to accompany her mother every day after work, as if she had returned to her old days of being single, when she had a fulfillingwork, and liveda simple life. Every day, Lilywas happy.On this day, the company gave out a few employee benefits, all of which were household cooking oil and detergent.Lilynaturally moved all back home."Why are you here again?" Ann was be all of a jump when she saw Lilywalk in with a small suitcase."Mom, am I still your own daughter? Why do you cold—shoulder me so much?"Following her mother's gaze to the suitcase, Lily smiled and said,"I didn't run away from home.Didn't I tell you thatSpencer went to Washington on a business trip. I'm idle at home, so I came to accompany you! I guess things are a little tricky, so it took a bit longer time for him than expected. You know how far it is, so it's not easy to make a business trip!"As she took thingsout, she explained, "Thesearebenefits from the company. A colleague in the dormitory lendsthe suitcaseto me when he seesthat it is inconvenient for me to carry them! I take part inanactivityand earn an extra bucket of oil—""Mom is reluctant to part with you, but if you really stay at home every day, Mom will really cry!" While helping tidy up these things, Ann raised her hand to help her daughter adjust her hair."You aremarried. Youcan't be as self—willed as before!""Mom, I see. Don't worry! Hurry, hurry, there are still a lot of small household items! There's no need to buy daily necessities this month!"As she stuffed theminto her mother's arms, Lilyurged her, feeling warm.After putting the oil away, Ann put aside the last few boxes of detergent and said hesitantly,"Lily, these thingslook pretty high—end. Is itnot good to give all to me, isn't it? Take some back to the Lewis’s! Regardless of whether they need it or not,it's always a token of gratitude!"Ann was clear about the gapbetween the two families. In the past, her family used to buyall kinds of high—end products. They didn't even pay attention to the common brands on the market. Actually, she also knew that the Lewises might not be interested in these things at all. For example, this kind of cooking oil that was commonly soldin supermarkets, how could such a family use it? But laundry products, after all, were different from food and with packaging, they were always relatively less shabby.Because of this gap, they did not have a wedding ceremony, nor did they have any form of ceremony. However, she did not make any demands. She did not want to humble herself, only becauseshe understood that the arm is not match for the thigh. Not only were they an orphan and an widow, they were also indigent and friendless. From any point of view, they did not have the ability to counterweight. Rather than asking for bubble reputation, it was better to let nature take its course. If theycould develop real love and continue to livehappily, it would be better than anything else!Especially they were married because of a misunderstanding that Lily was pregnant,which always made Ann worry. She also subconsciously wanted their relationship to be simple and not be mixed with money and benefits.Lily naturally understood the factas well. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "Then I'll ask grandma!"She could not judge the relationshipof Spencer and his family. He was not here after all andStella was not hisbiological mother. The only person she could be close to was his grandmother.
