LOGINMy mother kept calling me while I was on a stakeout. I had been hiding inside a van, watching the suspects for six hours. Then my phone screen suddenly lit up. The ringtone shattered the silence. I panicked and tried to put it on silent, but I accidentally hit the speaker button. A faint sound came from the phone. I felt terribly guilty and embarrassed. If we alerted the suspect, our entire operation tonight would be ruined. Captain Derek glanced over and saw that it was my mother calling. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't panic. Go take the call. Ethan and I will keep watch." Ethan frowned and quietly warned me, "Be careful. Don't give away our position." I gave them a grateful look before quietly getting out of the van and hiding in a nearby corner. I lowered my voice and asked with a hint of irritation, "Mom, I already told you I had an important operation today. Why are you calling me?"
View MoreAll the hurt and anger I had been holding inside finally exploded. My eyes were red, and my voice was shaking."You've been like this my whole life! Whenever you want me to do something, I must do it! Have you ever thought about how I feel? Do you even know what I want? You always say you're doing this for my own good, but you didn't even know what kind of person she was! All you ever do is push me to get married. Did you ever ask if I even wanted to?"I couldn't hold back my tears. My voice grew increasingly hoarse.Lilianna completely broke down when she heard me.She saw the judgmental looks from the people around us and my red, tearful eyes. Then she suddenly started crying too."I just wanted you to have someone by your side..."She cried hard, tears constantly running down her face."I... I really thought she was a good person. I didn't ask enough questions. I was just in too much of a hurry..."She crawled over and reached for my hand but then pulled back. She kept crying."Henr
"The police station is fine too! My husband and I used to date out in the fields!"Olivia was stunned by my words.She stared at me in shock. "Officer Taverner, what are you talking about?""You really don't remember?" I suddenly raised my voice."You're the owner of Serenity Springs. When I arrested you last year, you told me that if I let you go, you'd make it up to me in another way and make sure I was satisfied. Do you remember now?"As I spoke, I stepped closer until she was backed against the glass door. The shock on her face quickly turned into fear.Everyone in the lobby was stunned.Olivia's lips began to tremble."You... You've got the wrong person... I'm not..."More than angry, I felt hurt. But I still forced myself not to cry.Lilianna, who always claimed she wanted the best for me, had actually found someone like this for me.Olivia suddenly shouted. "I'm going to sue you for defamation!"I had planned to let her go, but she just had to make trouble.I gave her a cold gla
Thinking about it made me feel terrible. Then I suddenly remembered that Lilianna had said she would report me the next day.We had been working on a rotating schedule these past few days, so our hours weren't fixed. But I happened to be scheduled for duty the next day.I couldn't stop wondering if she would really show up.The next morning, I got out of bed nervously and kept sneaking glances at Lilianna.Thankfully, she showed no sign of getting dressed or going anywhere even when I was about to leave.I breathed a sigh of relief. I knew it. She had only been angry when she said it yesterday.If she really went to the police station and caused a scene, she would disrupt the department's work. It would also be extremely embarrassing for me while I was on duty.Nothing happened that morning. But just when I thought I could finally relax, my phone rang again."Didn't you say you were cutting me out of your life? Why are you calling me again? Didn't I tell you not to call me while I'm w
"I'll go home, but only if you agree to go on a blind date."I suddenly stopped what I was doing. I didn't say what I originally wanted to say. Instead, my face darkened as I replied, "Then you can sleep here tonight.""He's unbelievable! He actually wants his own mother to sleep on the streets. I worked so hard to raise you. You're already 30 years old. If you still don't find a wife, what are you going to do in the future? If you don't have a wife and children, who will take care of you when you're old? Do you want to end up being mistreated by nursing home workers?"My voice turned cold. "Who said having children means you won't be mistreated by caregivers? When I get old, you don't have to worry about me. If you think being single makes you look bad, you can move out too. Maybe you'll feel better that way."Lilianna suddenly stood up, grabbed my collar, and screamed while crying."I'm just worried about your future! Is that wrong? You're trying to kick me out, aren't you? You ungra
