The Widow “Misses” Her Villainous Late Husband

Chapter 16 – Don’t Even Dare Think About Remarrying (1)

Yu Duo felt fearful for half the night before she finally fell asleep and stayed asleep until she woke up naturally in the morning.

Light came streaming in through the cracks of the curtains from outside the window. She got out of bed and opened up the curtains. There was a giant tree in the yard; it was as tall as the mansions and its foliage was lush. A few little birdies hopped up and down the branches chirping loudly and could be heard from inside the mansion.

Watching this scene, Yu Duo had a big, comfortable stretch and immediately forgot about the eerie scenes she saw in her bedroom last night.

As the one who had been sharing the same bed with Fu Sinian in the past, she had to get up with him every morning and help him pick out his shirt, suit jacket, and tie his tie like a full time babysitter taking care of him. Even on the weekend when Fu Sinian didn’t have to go into the office, he still got up early; there was never time for her to sleep in.

After Fu Sinian had passed, she was busy playing the role of a grieving widow who could neither eat nor sleep. This was the first chance she got to wake up naturally.

After she had gotten ready, she placed her hand on the door handle. Just as she was about to open the door, she showed Fu Sinian, who was standing nearby, the Oscar awarding winning acting of going from very high spirited to a grieving widow in one second or less.

Fu Sinian was amazed by her performance.

When Aunty Lian, who was sitting by the dining table, saw Yu Duo coming downstairs, she immediately got up and said to her, “Madam, what would you like for breakfast?”

Yu Duo, seemingly weighed down by lots of troubles, smiled and said, “Just give me two slices of bread and one cup of milk.”

“Okay, have a seat. I will bring them to you in a little bit.”

The “despaired” Yu Duo sat down next to the dinner table and waited for Aunty Lian to bring her her breakfast while thinking, Fu Sinian had just passed away, how long should she wait before she started to heal?

Couldn’t be too fast, others would gossip.

Couldn’t be too long, she couldn’t put up this her-world-has-ended-and-she-had-no-appetite-to-eat look for much longer.

Aunty Lian knew that she wasn’t in the best of mood lately and had no appetite so she only got her bread and milk. Yu Duo smiled and accepted. She then proceeded to pull off small pieces of the bread and shoved into her mouth.

Yu Duo’s look made Aunty Lian worried, “Madam, why don’t you have some milk first. I only gave you two slices of toast; you must finish them. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”

Yu Duo listened to Aunty Lian and took a sip of the hot milk.

“Oh yeah, Aunty Lian. I think I will go out for a little bit today.”

Aunty Lian had been worried about how to get Yu Duo to leave the house. She smiled immediately when she heard Yu Duo’s words, “Sure! You should go outside for a little. It’s not healthy to stay in the house day in and day out!”

Yu Duo smiled bitterly and didn’t say a word.

Yu Duo finally finished up her breakfast after 20 minutes.

Right after Aunty Lian picked up the dishes, she heard honking sound coming from outside the mansion. She looked out the window and smiled in surprise, “Mrs. Yu, you came!”

A woman wearing a traditional Chinese dress with dark-colored flowers slowly came out of the car.

Mrs. Yu aged very well, her long and curly hair fell behind her, and the Chinese-style dress made her body seem shapely. It was difficult to tell her age. As she walked, she smiled and asked, “Where’s Duoduo?”

“Madam is upstairs.”

Aunty Lian showed her to the living room.

Mrs. Yu stopped for a little bit in front of Fu Sinian’s portrait and lit an incense stick for him. She sighed and said, “He was still so young. How did this happen?”

“Mrs. Yu, I am so glad to see you. You must talk to Madam. Madam had been really depressed lately and barely had any appetite. This is not good in the long run.”

“Mom? How come you are here?” Yu Duo saw Mrs. Yu when she came downstairs again. For a brief moment, there were as an unnatural look on her.
