Seeing Mr.Riley’s expression of excitement, Morine hurriedly explained: “Sorry, Professor Riley, I did not graduate from
Stanford.”
Mr.Riley asked puzzledly: “Then how do you know that the red cedar tree I painted is in the emblem of Stanford University.
That picture? If you don’t have a deep understanding of Stanford, you shouldn’t remember the design in the school badge so
clearly, right?”
Morine didn’t hide it, and said seriously: “My mother did go to Stanford when I was a child.
I was fortunate to have visited Stanford with her.”
“That’s how it is!” Mr.Riley nodded slightly: “I think you are only twenty-seven or eighteen this year.
Your mother’s age should be similar to mine?”
Morine nodded “when I was born, my mother was twenty-six years old, and she would be fifty-four this year.”
Mr.Riley pondered for a moment, and said: “Fifty-four years old, that is, one year younger than me, it is likely she would be in the
same class as me, or just before me, can I take the liberty to ask, what’s your mother’s name? Maybe we know each other!”
Morine hesitated for a moment, inevitably a little sad and said: “My mother has passed away many years ago, so I won’t mention
her name.”
As soon as Morine’s voice fell, Mr.Riley was stunned! He looked at Rowan, his voice was a little trembling, and he asked,
“Rowan, would your mother’s surname happen to be Evans?!
Morine couldn’t help but be startled and Exclaim: “The professor knows my mother?!”
Professor Riley was excited suddenly, and said, “Are you really Lily’s child?!”
At hearing the name “Lily”, Morine’s eyes were filled with tears.
Lily Evans is his mother’s full name.
This name has been missed in his heart for many years, but it was the first time Morine heard someone mention it for so many
years.
His mother’s surname is Evans, she is safe and happy
The name Lily is derived from the flower that toils and grows into a beautiful bloom.
The meaning behind her name given from this flower is to metaphor a person who is sincere and self-disciplined and possesses
Perfect character, so it will naturally move others, attract others, and be loved and admired by people.
Because Morine’s mother is his grandfather’s eldest daughter and the most beloved one, and the father has high hopes for her,
so Lily was given to her, such a name with a deep meaning.
Mr.Riley, seeing Morine’s eyes with tears, he immediately confirmed his guess, he walked forward, grasped Morine’s hand, and
said with red eyes “Rowan, the two of us met more than 20 years ago! At that time you were very young, and your mother took
you to Stanford and Silicon Valley.
My wife and I accompanied you two at the time, but there were also many people, you may not have any memory of me.”
As he said, he suddenly thought of something and excitedly said: “My wife hugged you at the time! Do you still have any memory
of that?”
Morine shook his head, and said a little apologetically: “I’m sorry, Professor Riley, it’s been too long.
I don’t remember much of anything.”
Then he asked: “Professor Riley, were you and my mother classmates?”
John Riley nodded: “We were students together for several years, our relationship was also very good.
When I pursued my wife, your mother helped me give her love letters.”
Morine asked curiously: “Professor Riley, can you tell me about my mother? I don’t know anything about her life before marrying
my father.
“
