“Last night, Mike waited for his mother until midnight to go to bed.” Aunt Lin smiled beside her and explained to Snow Cecy.
Facing the child’s curious and clear eyes, Snow Cecy thought about it, but did not know how to explain it.
“She was busy working overtime last night. She was so absorbed that she forgot the time. It was already midnight when she came back to her senses, so she had a rest in the company for one night. She wanted to call you to talk about it, but she didn’t call because it was too late to disturb your rest.” Terrence Edmin helped explain.
“So it is! Madam, you are too hard. You should pay attention to taking good care of your health. You can never finish your work.” After hearing this explanation, Aunt Lin looked at Snow Cecy with disapproval, and couldn’t help telling her.
“I will pay attention.” Snow Cecy said hurriedly.
Snow Cecy was reluctant to let go of Mike.
But Mike and his mother stayed for a while, and their attention was soon attracted by Terrence Edmin beside them.
He secretly took a look at Terrence Edmin, with curious inquiry and a sense of closeness in his eyes.
Although he knew that Terrence Edmin was not his father. But it made him feel a little close. He thought that the uncle was good-looking and tall, and he had a good temper.
If only he were his father!
It’s a pity that his own father is a person who is very grumpy and bullies his mother at any time. This disappointed Mike at a young age, who had long lost his expectation and desire for his father.
Terrence Edmin noticed that the child was curious about him and smiled at him. “Mike, do you remember your uncle?”
Mike nodded hard, “uncle Edmin.”
“Haha, Mike has a good memory. He still remembers uncle Edmin!” Terrence Edmin laughed happily and began to get close to Mike.
“It’s a pity that my uncle came back in such a hurry that he didn’t prepare a gift for Mike. Mike should not be angry with his uncle, right?”
“No, I’m not angry.” Mike quickly shook his head, then came out of Snow Cecy’s arms and approached Terrence Edmin.
Terrence Edmin directly reaches out and hugs Mike, and they start chatting. It’s rare to see Mike chatting with others with enthusiasm. Snow Cecy did not bother. He stood up and said, “I’ll go to the kitchen to help Aunt Lin prepare dinner. Terrence, you can have dinner here tonight.”
“Well, thank you then!” Terrence Edmin agreed.
Terrence Edmin stayed and played a jigsaw puzzle with Mike. Mike often plays jigsaw puzzle alone when he stays at home alone and is bored. At this time, someone finally accompanied him to play jigsaw puzzle together, which made him flushed with excitement.
Terrence Edmin was very patient with Mike and treated him as if he were his own. She accompanied him to play the puzzle together, talking and laughing.
“Mr. Edmin is really a good man. He is very patient with children and will certainly be a good father in the future.” Aunt Lin in the kitchen said to Snow Cecy with a smile.
Snow Cecy smiled when she heard this.
“Madam, don’t blame me for being talkative. I just said more for your sake. I think Mr. Edmin is a good person, and you can consider it…” Aunt Lin was hurriedly interrupted by Snow Cecy before she finished her words.
“Aunt Lin, don’t tell me. I haven’t even divorced yet, and I still have a child. How dare I think about these things? My biggest wish now is to keep my children and live with Mike forever.” She is satisfied as long as she lives with her children. Besides, she doesn’t know whether her current physical condition can be recovered. How dare she think about these things.
Snow Cecy felt a little bitter in her heart. She gave a complicated look at the two men who looked like their own father and son, and her heart became more and more heavy.
The child can’t grow up without his father’s love and companionship, but Mike’s biological father turned a deaf ear to him and even used him as a tool to threaten her and retaliate against her. People who have no blood relationship are willing to patiently play with the child. This contrast makes Snow Cecy more resentful of Vicdor Balke.
He doesn’t deserve to be a father!
“Alas…” Aunt Lin couldn’t help sighing when she saw Snow Cecy’s defiance. Madam, it’s too hard to live, not only for yourself, but also for the children!
“Wow!” Mike’s cheerful voice came from the living room. He looked at the puzzle in front of him and exclaimed.
“This is a skinhead puzzle. It’s hard to spell it well. It took you half an hour to do it, uncle Edmin. How awesome!” Mike stares at Terrence Edmin and admires him very much.
“Of course, uncle never lost in the puzzle!” Terrence Edmin said confidently.
“Uncle, can you handle other puzzles here?” Seeing this, Mike immediately ran over and took out all the other puzzles he had collected.
Some of these puzzles are so complicated. There are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of puzzles, including the world map and the starry sky pattern. Even the puzzle of the Qingming River Festival is a gift he received on his birthday.
Seeing so many puzzles appear in front of me. Terrence Edmin’s confident mouth became stiff. Unexpectedly, there were so many!
It is impossible to complete so many puzzles in an hour or two. But in the face of the child’s adoration eyes, Terrence Edmin’s mouth moved. he was really embarrassed to refuse the child’s intention.
“Uncle Edmin, can you handle these puzzles?” Mike looks at Terrence Edmin with bright eyes.
“Well…”
When Terrence Edmin was thinking about how to answer the question so as not to hurt the child’s heart and expectations, in the kitchen, a soft bleeding head popped out and shouted at the two people playing the puzzle: “Come and wash your hands and eat!”
Terrence Edmin breathed a sigh of relief, immediately stood up, patted the dust on his pants legs, smiled at Mike and said, “Your mother asked us to have dinner. Let’s go to dinner first, and then study these puzzles after dinner.”
“Well, then!” Mike was a little disappointed. He tooted his mouth, but did not continue to make noise. He got up with the sound of the car falling off, and they walked to the kitchen hand in hand.
In the kitchen, Snow Cecy and Aunt Lin have worked together to make a large table full of delicious dishes.
“Go wash your hands and eat.” Snow Cecy again told me.
“Hmm.” Terrence Edmin and Mike stood in front of the wash basin and began to wash their hands.
