My mother died in childbirth, but my father never thought of remarrying.
This is not to say that he has deep feelings for his mother. In fact, theirs is just a business marriage and there is not much emotional entanglement. He does not need to remain a virgin for his mother.
He simply thought that now that he already had an heir, the role of a wife became insignificant.
When holding a full-month banquet for me, my father announced in front of all the wealthy and powerful families in northern Beijing that I was the only heir to the Smith family.
My father dotes on me so much that if I ask for stars, he would pick the moon for me too; my grandmother treats me like her own sweetheart, taking care of me and doting on me in every way.
However, as a child, I still longed for the warmth of maternal love in my heart.
When I was five years old, my family hired a piano teacher for me, Rachel . She was very caring and concerned about me, which made me feel the warmth of a mother at a young age.
But who would have thought that all her gentleness and thoughtfulness was just to please me so that she could gain favor with my dad and become Mrs. Smith.
She even gave my dad an aphrodisiac and had a one-night stand with him.
She thought that this would make my dad marry her, but she was wrong.
My father is a playboy and has many lovers. He has seen all kinds of women and tricks.
Rachel's clumsy way of getting promoted. But he didn't care about it. He just planned to give her some money and then fire her.
Rachel was naturally unwilling to give up. She cried to me and said that she would leave me soon.
Her meticulous care for me during this period has made me increasingly dependent on her, and I can't live without her anymore.
I didn't want to let her go, so she took the opportunity to beg me to find my father and ask him to marry her so that she could stay with me forever.
I was young and ignorant at that time, and I was bewitched by her. I kept clamoring for her to be my stepmother.
My father didn't want to marry her, but he softened his heart and agreed to marry me after I went on a hunger strike. Rachel finally became Mrs. Smith.
But she only got the marriage certificate with my dad and didn't make it public.
She disguised herself very well and cared about me every day for ten years, making me truly regard her as my mother.
