The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1301

"What's the matter? Did I say it wrong?" he asked.

"Did you call my mom... Mom?" she asked in a mutter.

"We're already married. Your mother is my mother. Is it wrong for me to call her Mom?" he asked with amusement.

There was... nothing wrong with it, but she had always thought that the word ‘Mom’ was taboo for him.

It was because his mother's existence had hurt him.

Seeing Ling Yiran's eyes widening in shock and doubt, Yi Jinli sighed gently. He bent over to hug Ling Yiran and said, "I was once abandoned by my mother, so the word 'mother' had always represented hatred to me. I didn't think I'd ever call anyone 'Mom' again. But Yiran... It was you who showed me that the word 'mother' still has warmth."

He closed his eyes gently, rested his head on her shoulder, and told her things he never said to anyone. "Just like how you're a good mother, and your mother was a good mother too. That's why you miss her so much. She was the one who gave birth to you, and I'm very grateful. Without her, I would never have met you and would never understand what it feels like to love someone!"

Ling Yiran just felt that his breath seemed to surround her, and she seemed to have never been so close to him before—so close that he was taking the initiative to tell her about his trauma and his pain, little by little.

"So it's not just because we're married that I’m calling your mother 'Mom.' More importantly, she's the mother of the woman I love the most. She's the one who gave you life, which tantamounts to giving me a second life. Yiran, you're my second life," he whispered.

Suddenly, the tip of Ling Yiran's nose felt a little hot and sore. Her heart was moved.

She felt sorry for the man. Her heart broke for him, and she... wanted to protect the man more and make him happy.

She had felt this way before, and she felt it again... now.
