“Once we have enough money, you can buy as many handbags as you like. I’ll buy them all for you,” Clara joked.

Mia replied, “Mom, handbags will eventually come and go, but opportunities do not often present themselves. Now that you are in a relationship with Uncle Lee, you could perhaps whisper in his ear some suggestions. I am relying on you to help me get back into the Entertainment Circle.”

Hearing what her daughter said, Clara’s smile instantly faded halfway. She began to voice her grievances to Mia, “You don’t understand. Although I am in a relationship with Uncle Lee, he is a businessman and is very shrewd. Up till now, despite us having slept together four times, he only gives me a small allowance or buys me things like handbags and necklaces. He’s not willing to spend a lot on me. If this continues, not to talk about you returning to the Entertainment Circle, even our numerous credit card debts will become an issue.”

“Mom, you need to push harder. If he’s not reinforcing your benefits, then you should play hard-to-get,” Mia suggested.

Hearing this advice, Clara became even more saddened, “Do you still think I’m as fresh as a daisy like when I was eighteen? I’m already an old maid. If I tried playing hard-to-get or not pleasing him, your Uncle Lee could instantly find someone younger and more beautiful than me. Men are just fickle like that.”

“Not only do I dare not ignore him now, but I also have to find ways to make him believe that I still have a lot going for me. Otherwise, if he doesn’t come looking for me, what will become of us?”

Seeing Clara’s sad expression, it didn’t seem like she was faking it.

“Mom, don’t be so pessimistic. Perhaps Uncle Lee likes the way you are. Mature women have their own charm,” Mia reassured her.

“What if Uncle Lee no longer wants me? What will we do?” Clara asked tentatively.

Mia anxiously responded, “That’s why, Mom, you have to push me forward as soon as possible. Get Uncle Lee to promote me. Once I become famous, even if Uncle Lee leaves you, I can support you.”

Listening to her daughter’s naïve ideas, Clara didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“What if Ethan Lee refuses?” Clara asked again.

Mia kept on saying, “Mom, so that’s why you need to make an effort to make Uncle Lee dependent on you. In that case, he will naturally listen to you.”

“A man will only stay with a woman he truly loves. Otherwise, once he gets tired of playing, he will surely leave, especially women like me who are getting old,” Clara responded.

“Mom, don’t be so pessimistic. I’ve told you time and time again, you’re not aging but retaining your charm. If you were old and fading, would Uncle Lee get on board with you?” Mia was full of praises trying to boost Clara’s spirit. She was afraid that Clara would lose confidence and give up, “The most important thing for a woman is confidence. You have to believe in yourself. How many women your age could maintain themselves like you do? People would hardly believe you’re the mother of an adult daughter like me when we stand together. We look more like sisters.”

Clara took Mia’s hand and said seriously, “Mia, I’m not being pessimistic. I’m being serious.”

As she said this, Clara’s eyes welled up with tears, which she barely held back.

“Mom, what’s wrong? Did Uncle Lee upset you?” Mia quickly comforted.

Clara composed herself before speaking, “Your Uncle Lee…we had quite the conversation today, and I still don’t know what to do.”
