After five years…
In a small town in the northwest, Candice and her five-year-old son came home from kindergarten hand in hand.
The setting sun fell on the beautiful little boy as if on a golden light. Every time Candice saw her son’s immature facial features, which was like that man’s, she can’t help but think of things she desperately wanted to forget.
Time went by so fast that her son had grown up unconsciously.
At that time, Candice’s parents died because of her. She really did not have the courage to stay in the place where her parents lived. She also knew that she could never deceive herself to face Emerson, so she had to run away, impulsive and desperate.
At that time, Candice, with a big stomach, took a illegal taxi to the coach station. In the dark night, she got on the fastest coach to leave. God also told her to go away. This random car was actually a long-distance sleeper to the northwest. She didn’t buy tickets at the station, and there was no record of her.
The later days were hard. When Candice had just given birth to her son, she spent all her money and couldn’t go out to earn money. She even didn’t have money to buy the meal. If it wasn’t for the kindness of the landlord, they might have starved to death. Now it was finally well. Her son was five years old, and she was in kindergarten. Candice worked as a kindergarten teacher in her son’s kindergarten, making money and taking care of her son.
Candice’s life was simple and full now. The pain engraved in her heart, this life cannot be erased, but the wound scabbed for too long. When sometimes she thought of it, she didn’t feel so painful like that time.
“Mom, the kindergarten will have a physical examination tomorrow.” Edward Page’s little white hand held his mother’s hand and said in a low voice like a grown-up.
Candice chuckles, “well, I know. I’m a kindergarten teacher. I know it before you do. ”
Edward crooked his neck and asked, “Mom, why have I never seen you have a physical examination?”
“Mom is very busy.” Candice said casually.
Edward held his mother’s hand tightly, and his expression was more serious, “busy is just an excuse. Mom, do you have no money?”
Candice bent down to her son’s line of sight, reached out and poked his little nose, “no, mom has money. I am an excellent teacher in the classroom which all the children vote in the kindergarten. I have a lot of bonus.”
Edward crooked his head and muttered, “It is me who told the children to choose you.”
She didn’t know her son’s toast and pinched her son’s small face, “Edward, what would you like to eat today?”
Edward pushed aside his mother’s hand and said seriously, “I can eat anything, but mom, I’ve told you a few times, can you stop pinching my face?”
“Oh, bear you were born to me. Can’t I pinch your face?” Candice rested the arms on the hips.
Edward turned away and said, “Nope.”
Candice looked at her son walking on his own and had a headache. This kid was not allowed to be pinched at the age of five. He really looks like his father in attitude and expression of his voice. They were very similar in appearance and temperament.
“Edward, you look down on your mother again. Today, you are punished to write 300 poems from memory!”
“Childish.”
“Childish? Edward, you stop, you tell me again, who is childish! ”
Candice was angry, but her son walked forward with steady steps, pretending not to hear!
Mother and son are sometimes as sweet as honey, and sometimes as enemies. When the two returned to the rental house without paying attention to each other, someone knocked at the door.
