My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 385 Faustina's Distress

Eliana asked how Faustina's children were doing while Faustina sighed. Her son was such a playboy and her daughter was so indifferent that she was a little embarrassed to talk about it. "Uh, they're fine!" Faustina said indifferently, but then she said to Eliana.

"Eliana, let me treat you guys to lunch. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's get together today." Faustina took Eliana's hand and wouldn't let go.

They had graduated decades ago, and both had their own families and children, and their chances of seeing each other were few. Classmates who used to have an average relationship now felt particularly close to each other when they met.

"Yes, that's all right. But we'll have to shop a bit longer. I need to buy some clothes for my daughter!" Eliana said to Faustina. But after she had finished, Faustina became even more envious. When would she and Finnley be able to do the same with each other!

"I'm so jealous of you, and that you can buy clothes for your daughter. The thing I envy most is that your daughter is willing to wear the clothes you buy. My daughter totally doesn't wear the things I buy!" Faustina felt that she was such a failure as a mother.

"Auntie, you can buy what she likes, then she'll wear it." At this time, Amy suddenly spoke up.

"I don't know what she likes. Besides, the clothes she's wearing don't look good. I think girls are supposed to dress nicely, but she makes herself look like a man. The most annoying thing is that she also got the gender of one of her ID cards as male. How could I not be angry?" Faustina didn't know what she had done wrong. She was doing it for the good of her daughter, but her daughter had always treated her like a stepmother.

"Auntie, let's go and choose clothes later. I'll help you choose for Finnley, and she'll definitely wear it." Amy assured Faustina.

"Really? That's great. I just want her to wear the clothes I bought!" Faustina was happy when she heard that. It would be so nice if her daughter actually wore the clothes she bought.

So the three women started a new round of shopping. They first bought a whole bunch of clothes for Amy, and Eliana didn't even frown when she paid for them. As long as it was something her daughter liked, she was willing to pay as much as she could.

Then, Amy took Faustina to a shop. The clothes in this shop were all a little more unisex and looked good on both men and women.

"Aunty, you're supposed to want Finnley to wear the clothes you bought now, right? Then you need to buy the style she likes first. We can change her little by little. If you try to change her all at once, she won't be able to stand it." Amy suggested Faustina.

"That's right. Children have their own opinions when they grow up, and we can't force our ideas on them." Eliana echoed.

Eliana and Faustina weren't just pretty girls who couldn't do anything when they were at the University of R City. They were both beautiful and intelligent. Besides, those who could get into the University of R City were exceptional. So both of them were stronger!

"Then I'll try to change myself. Amy, just help me out." Faustina felt as if she had gone a little too far in the past, and she was willing to change hers for the sake of her daughter.

Amy then walked Faustina around the shop, and Faustina thought the clothes here were still very nice. The clothes were all rather unisex, but they still looked very feminine too. She chose a few clothes and had Amy take a look at them again. As long as Amy thought it was okay too, she bought it. Amy told her to try out two outfits for Finnley first. If Finnley liked it, she could buy more for her in the future in the same style.

After the shopping was done, the three of them went to lunch.

"My daughter has been exceptionally clever since she was a child. I didn't study finance back then, and I always felt a bit disadvantaged, so I let her go into it. In the future, whether she opens her own company or is in the Carr family's company, she won't be at a disadvantage." Faustina took the initiative to talk about her daughter as they waited for the food.

"Yes, Finnley is very smart. But I feel as if there's some kind of misunderstanding between you two, isn't there?" Amy didn't beat around the bush either. She didn't want Finnley to have any misunderstanding about her mother either. In her opinion, Faustina loved Finnley very much.

"I don't know. I think of everything for her and I don't bother with her brother. After all, he's a boy, and he was born in the Carr Group, so he can always take care of himself. All my attention is on Finnley because I love her. But she secretly went to check if I was her real mother and thought I didn't know, which really broke my heart." Faustina felt really aggrieved when she said this.

"Hey, we really don't know what's going on in the child's heart!" Eliana comforted Faustina.

"I let her learn martial arts. She's not ugly and she's a girl. If she doesn't protect herself, what if she gets bullied later? She looks thin, but her blood lipids are a bit high, so I don't let her eat fatty meat, but she loves it! Every time she eats, I will have a fight with her. She won't wear any of the dresses I buy for her. Luckily, she is willing to eat the food I cook!" Faustina couldn't stop talking once she started the conversation.

Faustina was a straightforward person, but no one listened to her complaints. Even when she talked to her husband, he just said the children were young and had no idea of what was going on, leaving her with no one to talk to.

Today she met her old classmate and what made Faustina want to talk the most was that Amy was Finnley's friend. She wanted to speak up and ask Amy to help her out. How much she loved Finnley and how hurt she was!

"Aunty, did Finnley like what you had arranged for her?" Amy was a mother too, and she could feel it.

"She's still young, so of course I have to make the decisions for her." Faustina said.

"Finnley is a very opinionated person. She doesn't really like to be restrained." Amy politely reminded Faustina of the need to give her daughter some freedom.

"I am not restraining her. She can go wherever she wants, and I bought her a house when she said she wanted to live alone. What else do you think I have to do?" Faustina was completely oblivious to her mistake.

"Auntie, how about this, when Finnley wants to do something, you don't point her in the right direction. When she replaces out she's wrong, she'll naturally think you're right." Amy gave Faustina an idea.

"But I can't bear to see her suffer. Nevertheless, your method is good. I'll try it when I get back." The meal was finished with a discussion of Finnley. Faustina also invited Amy to visit Finnley's home regularly. "Okay, I'll visit Finnley as often as I can. Bye, Auntie!" Amy said goodbye to Faustina.

"I didn't even expect Finnley to be Faustina's daughter. I thought she was really a boy!" Eliana said to Amy on their way back.☐☐☐☐☐
