It was already late at night, but Jack was still sipping water very slowly in the chair.
He was drinking it very slowly as if he wasn’t thirsty. But he also seemed to be thirsty as he drank the whole glass of water.
The three of them were silent and the kitchen was quiet. Only Jack could be heard drinking water.
After a while, Jack raised his head and looked at Kennedy, “Dad, why aren’t you drinking water? You’re thirsty.
Alice said nothing.
Before Kennedy said, Alice said, -Your dad drank a glass of water. So, he has to drink another one later. Drinking two glasses of water at once will cause discomfort to the stomach.
After listening to her, Jack understood her and drank the water obediently without saying anything.
Seeing that the glass was already empty, Kennedy wanted to say something. At that moment, Jack passed the glass to Alice and said, “Mom, I want one more.
Kennedy had to keep quiet.
She stared at Jack with narrowed eyes, thinking he did it on purpose.
If he didn’t, Jack wouldn’t wake up, find the kitchen, or stay here to drink water after Kennedy left the room.
But Alice didn’t doubt anything. After hearing that Jack wanted one more glass of water, she nodded her head, got up and went to pour him another.
Now, however, Kennedy spoke up.
-It’s not right to drink too much water in the evening. One is enough. Go to sleep.
Alice was a little startled and looked up at Kennedy. After the two of them looked at each other, Kennedy glanced at Jack.
Jack looked innocent.
-But I’m still thirsty. Besides, Mom said you’re thirsty, too, and you have to wait a little while here for water. Since you can’t drink too much water at once, I’ll stay here and wait with you together.
Kennedy didn’t know how to answer him.
Although Kennedy just now recognized this boy and was also surprised, he now wanted to bring him into the room. Jack looked very innocent, but Kennedy had also witnessed the conflict in the room and that his appearance changed abruptly when he saw Alice.
So Kennedy did not believe that he did so without any intention.
Considering it, Kennedy reached over to Jack and squeezed his head, -It’s cold. Go back to sleep. I’ll get your water later.
-No!” Jack took his hand away and turned to Alice, “Mom, I want to wait here, can I?
Alice always accepted everything her son wanted except for the unacceptable before.
Jack was understanding and never demanded anything unreasonable from her. So when he proposed, Alice would accept it except something that was unacceptable.
Now how could Alice refuse him on this small request? Looking into the hopeful face, Alice smilingly allowed it.
After the permission, Kennedy became very serious and began to think.
He could tell this boy would stay here on purpose.
-Thank you, Mom. I love you,” Jack said and blew Alice a kiss.
At last, Kennedy felt Jack’s threat.
Alice thought a little and looked up at Kennedy.
-Go to sleep. I’ll walk him to the bedroom when he’s finished drinking.
It was very embarrassing for the three of them to stay here, especially remembering what Alice and Kennedy did in the dark. Jack’s eyes were black and shining. Even though he was still a child, it seemed to Alice that Jack knew everything.
-Dad, did you hear her? Now go to sleep. Then Mommy will show me to my room.
Kennedy smiled coldly.
Behaving very strangely with a pursed mouth, he approached Jack and sat down in a chair.
-Why are you rushing? I haven’t had a drink of water yet,” he said to Jack in a low voice. Aren’t you coming back?
Jack ignored him as if he hadn’t heard him, but looked at Alice.
-Mom, I’m cold sleeping with Dad. Can I sleep with you?
At this, Kennedy became more serious.
Alice was astonished, -Cold?
Then she saw Kennedy, “What’s wrong?
-Are you cold? -Kennedy looked at Jack. Well, I hold you when you sleep.
Feeling more secure, Alice nodded, “Your dad’s right. Let him hold you when you sleep.
The two didn’t see much of each other, nor did they know each other. Besides, Jack was very prejudiced against Kennedy. If the two of them got along and slept together when Kennedy hadn’t regained his memory, it would help develop the father-son relationship.
“Not bad,” she thought.
Thinking about it, Alice wanted to smile.
But Jack didn’t say anything.
Would the father hug him?
Jack felt disgust and furrowed his eyebrows at the thought.
-What, you don’t like me? -Kennedy provoked him.
Kennedy’s words reminded Alice of the scene in the apartment when Jack punched Kennedy in the face, asking who the bastard was.
Bastard…
Jack had heard everything when Kennedy said it.
It was not a good thing.
Because Kennedy was a cuss, he had often done damage to H. Kennedy was prouder than Alice had imagined.
Alice was an adult, she understood.
But for a child? What would Jack do? How would he think of his dad?
Alice began to worry.
-Jack…
Jack was so smart, he spoke before Alice said.
-Don’t worry, Mom. I’m not disgusted with Dad. So, Dad, shall we go back together?
-We’ll wait a little longer. Drink your water and come back first.
-No. I want you to come back and hold me.
Jack started to get cuddly. And this time he did it to Kennedy.
