Housewife Gone Wild by Thanddeus Embereley novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64

“But I hope you can show me some love too, and try to understand what I have been through,” I said as I gently patted her

head.

Yvonne just stared at me with a blank face. Then she slowly nodded. “Okay, I will, Mommy.”

So I brought her home. I thought maybe something from how I raised her had finally gotten through. Yvonne seemed a little more grown–up. At the very least, she wasn’t having random meltdowns anymore.

That night, I bathed her and let her play on the bed while I went to take a shower. When I came out, I noticed she wasn’t in the room. My heart jumped.

I walked fast to her bedroom. It was empty. Finally, I heard her voice coming from the media room. Cartoons were playing, and I could hear her talking on the phone.

“A robot toy? One that dances and talks to me? That’s so cool. I want it. Tracy, when are you coming back? You said you’d take me to the zoo last time. Do you still remember?”

“I wish my mom were even half as nice as you. She’s been super mean lately.”

“Can you tell my dad to talk to her? Tell him to teach her not to be so mean to me.”

“Hey, your birthday’s coming up, right? I asked Grandma for some allowance money. I wanna buy you a present.”

“You want me to draw something for you?”

“Okay! I’ll draw a rose, and I’ll make you a necklace too. Do you like that?”

My face fell when I heard that. I turned around quietly and walked back to my room. A few minutes later, Yvonne came in.

She saw me sitting at my vanity and ran over to play with my makeup. “Mommy, when are you gonna buy me a lipstick? I wanna wear your pretty perfume too!”

I grabbed some baby lotion and rubbed it on her cheeks and arms. “Time for bed now. Mommy’ll be done soon.”

“Mommy, I was just watching cartoons,” she said all of a sudden, like she was nervous and needed to explain herself.

Chapter 64

Time flew. Jared came back from his business trip. He showed up at the office that afternoon, still looking sharp and confident. He had a hint of tiredness on his face, but he worked straight through until 9 p.m.
