Chapter 297
“Yep. With Mom’s natural beauty and these products, she will look even more beautiful,” Skylar said.
“You’re right, Skye. Mom has worked hard for us all these years. Now that we’re
grown up and can care for ourselves, she should live the life she wants and be happy, “Harvey replied.
Once he started working and earned money in the future, he would also buy various skincare products, clothes, and bags for Janine.
Whatever other mothers had, Janine would have too.
Both Skylar and Harvey went downstairs to collect the rest of the stuff.
“You’ve grown up!”
She patted Harvey on the shoulder with a sense of pride, as if saying, “Look, my little
brother is all grown up. Not only is he a top student, but he can also carry all these
things up the stairs without breaking a sweat. How impressive.”
“I’ll be heading to university soon, so of course, I’ve grown up. Skye, you can come to me if you ever need anything. If anyone bullies you, I can take down two people at
once,” Harvey boasted, flexing his muscles.
Although he had a heavy workload with his studies, he never neglected exercise. Both his brothers were in such good shape–he couldn’t disgrace his family.
Skylar chuckled. “Well then, keep working out. I believe in you!”
I’ll go help Mom,” she said, heading toward the kitchen.
Seeing Janine bustling around in the kitchen, Skylar felt a pang of distress. “Mom, let ne finish the remaining dishes. Go to the living room and try on the clothes and
hoes I bought for you.”
Why are you buying things for me again? At my age, I don’t care much about ppearance. Whatever I wear looks the same. You should pamper yourself instead,” anine chided, knowing that Skylar was a dutiful child but also feeling particularly
sorry for her.
“It’s normal for a daughter to buy clothes for her mother. I’m sure you want to look good at your age too. Go try them on quickly. I’ll take care of the rest,” Skylar insisted. pushing Janine out of the kitchen.
When she entered, only three simple dishes were left to be cooked. Persuaded by Skylar’s determination, Janine reluctantly removed her apron and went out.
In the living room, Janine was astonished to see a large pile of clothes, shoes, and skincare products. “Did you buy all of this?”
“Skye is right. Mom, you should treat yourself better sometimes. When I start earning money, I’ll also buy things for you. Go try them on quickly.” Harvey urged, fearing that Janine would be concerned about the spending
Janine did feel concerned about the money spent. After all, Skylar didn’t earn money easily, and these things must have cost quite a bit.
But seeing the hopeful expressions on her children’s faces, she had no choice but to
agree and took the clothes to her bedroom
In less than two minutes, Janine emerged
Harvey was amazed when he saw Janine after she changed clothes. “Mom, people will no doubt think you’re my sister if they see us together,” he exclaimed
“You cheeky boy, stop teasing me. I’m going to show your sister Janine giggled uncontrollably, having checked herself in the mirror before coming out. She felt like
she had shaved ten years off of her age
‘Skye, do you think I look good?” Janine asked, standing at the kitchen door.
Skylar immediately looked over, and her eyes widened. “Mom, you look absolutely stunning and so elegant! We look like sisters!”
She wasn’t exaggerating. It was true, Janine looked much younger.
Despite having several children, she maintained her figure well, ate healthy, and her
complexion was good. She didn’t look like a woman approaching 50 at all.
Janine married Finn at the age of eighteen and became a young mother. Then Finn
had had an accident, and his body had never been found.
For all these years, Janine managed the whole household by herself.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Harvey thought it was Steven and Charles,
so he opened the door. When he saw who it was, his smile froze instantly.
