Horace nodded at Clara and continued, “When you saw the body, I told you, but you said that you would never trust me again, so I planned to find Neo first and then tell you everything.”
Horace explained to Clara the reason why he didn’t tell her. After hearing this, Clara went straight up and hugged Horace. At this time, her eyes were full of tears.
Clara had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She had experienced a lot before, and she finally decided to let it go. Now that she knew that Neo was not dead, she immediately felt much better and no longer as depressed as before.
“Horace, our Neo isn’t dead. He is still alive. He isn’t dead.” Clara smiled as she spoke. Tears had drenched Horace’s collar, but she was still very happy.
Horace quietly wiped away the tears in his eyes, then closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to hold Clara tightly. Now their family could finally reunite. Finally, he no longer had to carry a huge regret.
The two hugged each other for a long time. The passers-by looked at the two people who were crying and laughing and then left silently. They didn’t care about other people’s inquiring gaze at all. At this moment, they only knew that they were ecstatic.
After a while, Horace noticed that Clara had fallen asleep in his arms, so he gently picked her up and went back to the car. Looking at Clara, who was asleep, Horace reached out and stroked her drooping hair.
Horace knew that Clara must want to pick up Neo as soon as possible, so he decided to give her a surprise when she fell asleep.
With that thought in mind, Horace started the car and drove off.
…
When Clara opened her eyes, she saw a pair of soft little hands touching hers. The kid saw that she had woken up, so he immediately stood up and looked at her, and then called her sweetly.
“Mom.”
This familiar voice shocked Clara. “Has… Neo come back?”
She didn’t remember taking the Neo by herself. Why was he in front of her now?
“Neo?” Clara’s voice came in disbelief. She reached out and pinched her arm. It turned out that all of this was true. It turned out that it was not a dream. She excitedly reached out and hugged Neo, trying her best not to cry.
It was not easy to see her son. Once she shed tears, it would ruin this. Neo said in Clara’s arms, “Mom, I’m back. I’m very obedient. I didn’t make any trouble or cry. I’m just waiting for you here.”
Clara smiled with relief. Neo must have been having a hard time recently, but now he turned around to comfort her. Clara touched his head and proudly said, “I knew that Neo must be the best.”
Horace watched the two of them from the side. After that, they went out to express their gratitude to Helena’s friend and gave them some money. Then, they left with Neo. He finally returned home, and it was a happy family reunion.
“Mom, why isn’t Dad at home again?” Neo woke up in the morning and looked for his father, who had not been at home for several days. Neo hadn’t seen his father for a long time, and he didn’t see him this morning, either.
“Your father has something to do, so he may not be at home during this period of time. If Neo misses daddy, you can call him.” Clara reached out and rubbed his head, and then looked at him.
Clara knew what Horace was going to do, but he didn’t know. Clara didn’t intend to tell him now, so he had to wait for the time being. Neo was not in a hurry, so he looked at Clara and nodded.
On the other side, Horace was preparing to create a surprise for Neo. This time, Neo must have left a shadow in his heart, so he planned to let Neo relax. Although Neo had grown up and it was very difficult to forget about this matter, it was still possible for him to ease his mood.
Neo stayed at home with Clara and waited for a few days. Every night, he would sit on the sofa and watch TV. Because Neo had just come back, he could leave schoolwork aside for now.
Moreover, Neo did learn much faster than the others, so it ok even if he plays for a month. Although she thought so, learning was endless, and it was better to learn.
“Neo boy, why don’t you sleep?” Clara looked at him. Generally speaking, he would sleep early. Why didn’t he sleep today? Was it because he was used to sleeping late?
Unbeknownst to Clara, when Neo was in the countryside, not as pampered as he was at home, He had endless farm work to do every day. As long as the task was not finished today, Neo would not sleep.
Neo gradually got used to sleeping late. He slept before dawn every day. Now he had to sleep at nine, which was very difficult for a person who always stayed up late.
Neo shook his head, and then looked at Clara. However, Clara was still worried about his body, so she let Neo go to sleep first. It was said that Horace would come back tomorrow.
After telling this news to Neo, he obediently went to sleep. Then Clara also turned off the TV and got on the bed, thinking about what kind of surprise Horace would prepare for Neo.
As she thought about it, she fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Clara woke up when she smelled the fragrance. It turned out that Horace put a sweet biscuit in front of her nose. After she smelled it, she naturally woke up.
“Horace, you’re back?” Clara looked at Horace and then reached out to hug him.
It had been a long time since Horace had left home. Clara missed him.
“Yeah, I’m back. Is my lazy baby girl still asleep?” Horace reached out and rubbed Clara’s head. Then he held Clara’s waist and looked at Clara, who had just woken up.
Clara thought for a moment and got up. Then she tasted the biscuits made by Horace himself. It was really delicious. It was different from what she had eaten outside. It had a very good smell and flavor.
When Neo went downstairs, she saw Clara and Horace standing together and eating something. Then she came over and saw a big cake on the table.
It turned out that today was Neo’s birthday.
The reason why Horace didn’t come home these days was to prepare a gift for Neo. Now the gift was the very big cake and biscuits in front of him. Looking at the cake with candles on the table, Neo’s eyes twinkled with the light of the candles.
It had been a long time since Neo had celebrated his birthday. Now, she could finally celebrate his birthday with Horace. He stood there happily and did not know what she should do now.
Clara came over with Neo and then sang a birthday song for him. The atmosphere was just heart-warming. Neo blew the candles, and the candles were even in the shape of his name.
The word was extremely dazzling in people’s eyes. Clara looked at all this and felt that it was extremely beautiful. Later, she let Neo taste the biscuits on the table.
Neo picked up the biscuits and observed them. There was even a cute Doraemon on it. She did not expect Horace to be so considerate as to prepare so many cute little things for Nwo.
Horace looked at Neo confidently. Without Neo’s saying anything, Horace already knew that the biscuits must be delicious.
As expected, the biscuits that Neo ate were the taste that Clara just had in the morning. The taste was really intriguing.
Horace stuffed a piece of cake into Clara’s mouth, and then it was time for the family to eat the cake together.
After cutting the cake, Clara smeared a bit of the cream on Neo’s face. Looking at the funny expression of her son, Clara burst into laughter.
Looking at the happy Clara, Neo also stood on tiptoe and touched her face. This time, it was Horace and Neo who laughed at Clara. Clara pretended to be very angry and glared at Neo, and then began to chase after him to smear more cream on his face.
“Neo, you naughty little rebel! Stop right there…”
Clara laughed as she ran.
She knew that she was very happy now, and from then on, no one would be able to take this happiness away from her.
