Krista’s pov
When I got home, I found my Uncle downstairs and asked him to help me pick up Romeo from kindergarten.
After the Uncle left, I called Lockie. “Lockie, can you send someone to pick up Romeo and stay with you for a while?”
“I also saw the news on the Internet. Is our Romeo all right?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t seen him yet. When I went to the kindergarten to pick him up, a reporter at the entrance of the kindergarten recognized me. So I didn’t dare to go directly to him and let the Uncle go instead of me.”
“I understand, I will send someone to pick him up. We can’t go to this kindergarten anymore. I plan to bring him back to City A and let him go to kindergarten here first.”
“City A?” I hesitated.
“Don’t worry, no one will associate this child with the Fischer family.”
“But… if the reporter sees you walking so close to the child, I am afraid that you will scribble, which is not good for the reputation of the Irwin family.”
“Afraid of what? My reputation is not so good already. It won’t affect me even if there is an illegitimate child outside. My dad also likes Romeo very much. He asked me if I could also have a child. Besides, didn’t a reporter recognize you? As soon as that story gets out, how many reporters will bother you in the future? If they see you with a child, what then? Cheney can’t fly to you immediately to have a child. ”
My heart was tight, but I didn’t make a sound.
“Maybe you don’t trust me.”
“That’s not what I meant. I’m afraid of causing you trouble.”
“Was that better than the existence of Romeo, known by the Fischer family? That person is now accompanied by beautiful women, and the existence of this child is undoubtedly going to destroy people’s feelings.”
I didn’t want to hear the Fischer family so I just nodded. “Okay, then I will entrust him to you.”
“You don’t have to worry about anything. Just pack his things quickly. My men will arrive in three hours.”
“Okay.”
When I hung up the phone, I started packing Romeo’s bags.
When Romeo came back, I thanked my Uncle.
When the Uncle left, I squatted down. “Romeo, your mother wants to ask you, did the teacher take you to meet any strange people in kindergarten? Is… someone hurting you and causing you pain?”
Romeo shook his head. “Mom, it wasn’t me who was bullied, it was Alisa in our class. Alisa was taken to the hospital today, and our teacher was taken away.”
Thinking of his dream talk last night, I feel a little sorry for the poor girl.
“Alisa must be scared. Why didn’t you come back and tell mom about it?”
“The teacher told us that if anyone goes home and tells Mom and Dad that there is a baby in the kindergarten who is taken to his uncle, we will be locked in a small black room in the future, so that we can never see our Mom and Dad again.”
“Little black house?”
“Well, there is a little black room under the stairs of the kindergarten. They say there are monsters in it.”
“Have you ever been in?”
Romeo shook his head. “No, our teachers are very kind to me. Before, an uncle went to the classroom to choose someone and picked me, but the director said that my little dad gave a lot of money to the kindergarten so he couldn’t touch me, so the uncle took away other children.”
It’s like something has been pricked in my heart.
“Mom, will Alisa die? When Alisa was taken away, her mouth was swollen and she was naked. She looked pitiful. Will she die?”
I looked at Romeo, and I didn’t know how to answer.
The desire of animals, but let a little child bear it. Seeing the injured children, I’m afraid that it was really hard for her parents to calm down if it was me.
After being a mother, what I can’t see most is that my children suffer, even if they are other people’s children, I feel very uncomfortable.
“Mom wants Alisa to be lucky and never get hurt again in her life. Romeo, can you pray like this?”
“Well, Alisa won’t die.”
I nodded. “Mom wants to discuss another thing with you.”
Romeo looked at me.
“Your kindergarten, I can’t afford to let you go there any more. So your little dad said that he wants to take you to the place where he lives and go to kindergarten there, do you want to?”
“Will you go?”
“Mom… I can’t go yet, I have to stay here because there is still very important work here.”
“If I go, will I be separated from my mother? I don’t want to be separated from my mother.”
I held Romeo in my arms. “Romeo, your little dad is the one who loves you most in the world except your mother. When you are with him, I will feel at ease, and… Grandpa is over there too. You follow your little dad and grandpa, and there will be someone to take care of you. If you do that, I will be very relieved.”
Romeo was silent.
I forced a smiling face. “Don’t you want to be with Dad?”
“I like my little dad, but I prefer to live with my mother.”
“How about this, you should go to City A first and stay with your little dad for a semester. After I sold the house here in Butterfly Island, I will go to City H to buy a new house. When the house is decorated and you can stay, I will pick you up again. Then let’s live in City H together, how’s that sound?”
Romeo pouted and finally nodded.
I then got up. “Mom will help you pack your bags. You will go down and say goodbye to Grandpa Four. You will be going tonight.”
Romeo’s eyes are full of disappointment, but I can’t help it.
After five o’clock in the afternoon, Lockie sent people to pick up Romeo directly. I sent them to the dock to watch them leave Butterfly Island on Lockie’s private yacht.
Standing on the seashore where the sea breeze stretches endlessly, I feel that my heart is empty. Romeo has become a part of my life, and his sudden departure makes me feel that life suddenly has no fun and fighting spirit.
In the future, how can I live without Romeo? I could never imagine.
