Mike was painting when he came to the living room.
“Mommy, this is the homework assigned by the teacher to let us draw the family.”
After Snow Cecy sat down, Mike carefully explained his picture to his mother: “This is my mother, this is me, this is uncle Edmin…”
“Mike?” Snow Cecy changed her look and looked at the child helplessly: “Do you know what you are talking about? How can it be uncle Edmin?”
“Mom, uncle Edmin told me that he likes you very much, but mother has been unwilling to open her heart to accept uncle Edmin. He is very sad.” Mike took Snow Cecy’s hand and said, “Mom is still so young. After leaving with Dad, are you going to live a lifetime alone?”
“You…”
Snow Cecy felt that Mike could not say such a thing as a child.
Someone must have taught him that.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Mike carefully: “You tell Mom, who told you to say that?”
“Mom, this is what I think. Nobody taught me.” Mike shook his head. After his mother’s eyes became more severe, his defense line collapsed. “Yes… Aunt Alice…”
“I knew it!”
Snow Cecy had already guessed that it was Alice.
Only Alice can do such things.
“Just listen to what Aunt Alice said. Don’t take it seriously. She is worried about mother’s current situation, but she is not worried about the right direction!” Snow Cecy rubbed Mike’s little head and said, “It’s impossible between you and me, Uncle Edmin. He is so excellent, but mother is infamous now. Being with him will drag him down.”
“Uncle Edmin doesn’t care about these things at all. If he does, why should he take care of us now?” As a child, Mike actually sees much more thoroughly than Snow Cecy.
“Mom, you are under too much pressure.”
Mike said in a low voice with a crying voice: “Or does my mother think I’m a drag and worry that you and Uncle Edmin will have their own children in the future, and I will be redundant in the family?”
“Fool!”
Snow Cecy hurriedly interrupted Mike’s words: “Mom won’t let you think like that. No matter what happens in the future, you will always be the most important in Mom’s world. You can’t be redundant, you know?”
She held the child in her arms with some tears and touched the back of his head: “Mom will let you grow up well!”
Because of this episode, her heart has always been unhappy.
After dinner, she proposed to take Terrence Edmin downstairs.
Looking at her face, Terrence Edmin guessed that she had something to say so after going out with her, she asked, “What do you want to say?”
“I know that Mr. Edmin has taken good care of Mike and me these days, and I know Mr. Edmin’s intentions, but don’t you think, Mr. Edmin, there is a gap between us?” Snow Cecy walked to the elevator, stopped and looked at Terrence Edmin carefully: “You are so excellent, but what about me? As a divorced woman with a criminal record, with a child, can you accept me as an excellent family?”
“Why can’t I accept it? They don’t attach too much importance to the secular vision, and you are so excellent that you can offset those dark places on your body.”
Terrence Edmin spoke to Snow Cecy very affectionately.
He raised his hand, grabbed her arm, and pulled her to his side: “Snow, I will protect you. It is absolutely impossible for me to bully you in Vicdor Blaky, and he will not take custody of Mike. I will treat Mike like my own child. What are you still worried about? Your disease? The truth five years ago?”
“I’m worried.”
Snow Cecy has tears on her eyelashes: “After the incident five years ago, I don’t have much confidence in emotional matters. I don’t think you really like me. You should have never met a woman like me before. It’s just a temporary novelty!”
Terrence Edmin suddenly growled angrily, “I’ve done so much for you. Now you just attribute everything to me. I feel fresh about you for a while. Don’t you think your words are too far?”
“Yes, I am such an ungrateful wolf. Do you know what happened to Vicdor Blaky five years ago? You have never doubted that, in fact, those things are really my calculations? Maybe one day, people like me will start to calculate you and want to get everything from you. Then your fate will be much worse than Vicdor Blaky’s. In this case, will you also be with me?”
Snow Cecy was obviously forced to collapse by Terrence Edmin and shouted at him directly.
“Yes!”
Terrence Edmin did not think about it at all, but nodded in response: “No matter what kind of woman you are, I will be with you. You really want to count on me, and I am very happy. After all, you can compete with me. At least you are not a vase.”
“You…” Snow Cecy didn’t expect Terrence Edmin to say that.
She thought she would frighten Terrence Edmin back when she said this.
She didn’t know how to react after being said like this.
“What’s the matter?”
Terrence Edmin was amused by her reaction: “Don’t you know how to respond to me?”
“Mr. Edmin…” Snow Cecy shouted slowly.
“Just call me Terrence.”
Terrence Edmin doesn’t want to hear the name of alienation anymore.
Snow Cecy’s lip flap wriggled slightly and tried to shout out these two words. However, it was hard to accept the change of their relationship.
“Don’t worry so much!” Terrence Edmin bent down slightly and looked at her: “Didn’t you say you would repay me before? Now I want you to repay me. The only way is to commit yourself!”
“Is it really worth it?” Snow Cecy sighed and asked wearily.
She really can’t say that Terrence Edmin, this man is too powerful, and every word gives her no chance to refute.
Terrence Edmin nodded firmly: “It’s worth it, of course! You deserve all the best things in the world and a man like me to take care of you.”
Snow Cecy couldn’t help laughing when he still boasted like this.
Finally, she could only nod helplessly: “Well, I see! I will consider the relationship between us.”
“Need to think about it?” Terrence Edmin felt that he had given the girl a lot of time to think about it.
In fact, she should have already had the answer in her heart, and now she just dare not admit it.
Snow Cecy looked up at him and said, “I will accompany Mike to the kindergarten’s parent-child activity next month. I will tell you my answer when that activity is over.”
