Chapter 18 Happiness Or A Parent's Happiness?

• Genevieve's POV
• It was a Saturday morning and I had just finished my chores. I planned on informing Mum about my new job before starting my shift at noon. I hadn't informed her all this while because I was scared of what her reaction might be which was why I kept on postponing it till it got to today. I knew I couldn't hold off any longer. I glanced at her for the tenth time or more. I had lost count. She was watching a comedy show on TV.
• "Gen, come and watch this with me. It's hilarious," she called laughing out loud. Her voice startled me. I dropped the kitchen towel which I had been using to wipe the already dried dishes for the past thirty minutes. I walked towards the living room and sat on a sofa.
