Chapter 22 — Late Love You

Over the past year, you have suffered a disadvantage, and it is my fault that you are responsible for me." Having said that, the edges of Pho's mother's eyes were red, she looked at me very sincerely, no longer had that hateful face like before. But I was not happy at all. The neglect and estrangement of the Pho family, along with the sarcastic and insulting words every time they met, were all deeply rooted in my heart. Even if Pho's mother really changes her mind now, it still cannot erase my rejection of her. I tightened my grip on the tea cup and just smiled softly: "The past has passed, you don't need to bring it up again." Today I came to pick up my things. I heard I forgot something important, could you please help me get it?" The corners of Pho's mother's eyes were wet. Looking at my cold attitude, she wanted to say it again. She's probably also thinking about how to change my mind. But that's impossible. A damaged heart cannot be restored to its original state. The injuries that Pho Canh Tham and the Pho family caused me cannot be changed by waking up and being determined to be kind to me. Linh Linh sitting next to her coldly snorted: "You guys have bullied people to death, is it so easy to save them now? You also think of yourself as the center of the universe!” After hearing this, Pho's mother became speechless, her face filled with guilt, and she waved her hand to tell the housekeeper to bring the things out. It's a diary with a lock.

“Mom saw your name written on the cover so I told Canh Tham. Surely… this diary is very important to you, right?”

I stopped, not reaching out to receive. For me before, it was of course important. It contains all the nurturing of my feelings for you. No one knows that the young woman's thoughts from love at first sight are hidden in each diary page, filled with heavy love. I pursed my lips tightly, slowly picked up the diary and quietly said thank you: "Then I'll ask permission to leave first." I pulled Linh Linh away. Pho's mother quickly followed two steps: "My child!" Her voice was a bit shaky. I turned my head curiously. Pho's mother suddenly took a deep breath and bowed deeply to greet me. I quickly stopped her: "What are you doing?" But she refused to stand up straight, paused for a few seconds before raising her head to look at me: "I was wrong before, I'm sorry. Not only did my son lose a good wife, but I also lost an impeccably good daughter-in-law. It's too late to say anything now, I'm sorry for the things directed at you and misunderstanding you before." After saying that, she was about to bow again, but I quickly caught her. I smiled softly: "Don't take it to heart, it's not important to me anymore. Every human being must move forward. I also hope that the next daughter-in-law you meet will please you. What you can't do, it's good for someone else to do it." Pho's mother's eyes were filled with pain and nostalgia. I was still unmoved, pulled Linh Linh into the car and left. Linh Linh smacked her lips and exclaimed: "It seems like everyone up and down the Pho family regrets treating you like that. You can be considered miserable like this." She picked up the diary and asked curiously: "What exactly is written in here?" I pursed my lips and opened the words inside to show her. Inside was written all the feelings I had for Pho Canh Tham. Every time he cums I clearly note down what shirt I'm wearing and what issue I'm talking about on financial news. When I can't see him, I always relieve my nostalgia this way.

“Are these your notes for the past 5 years?” Linh Linh always knew I had a notebook recording stories about him, but I didn't expect it to be so detailed and filled with love.
