“Mommy, this is the homework the teacher asked us to draw the family down.”
After sitting down in Snow Cecy’s chair, Mike explained his picture to his mother seriously, “this is my picture, this is my uncle Edmin…”
“Mike?” Snow Cecy’s face changed. She looked at the boy helplessly and said, “do you know what you are talking about? How can it be uncle Edmin?”
“Mom, uncle Edmin told me that he liked you very much, but mom didn’t open her heart to accept uncle Edmin. He was very sad.” Mike held Snow Cecy’s hand and persuaded, “mom is still so young. Are you going to live alone for the rest of your life after you leave Dad?”
“You…”
Snow Cecy didn’t think Mike would say something like that.
Someone must have taught him this.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Mike seriously. “Tell me, who told you that?”
“Mom, this is what I think. No one taught me.” Mike shook his head. After his mom’s eyes gradually became harsh, his defense line collapsed. “It’s… it’s Alice…”
“I knew it!”
Snow Cecy had already guessed that it was Alice.
Only Alice could do such a thing.
“Just listen to what Alice said. Don’t take it seriously. She is just worried about mom’s current situation, but she is not in a hurry to find the right direction!” Snow Cecy rubbed Mike’s little head and said, “it’s impossible for me to be with you uncle Edmin. He is so excellent, but mom is notorious now. If I am with him, I will be a burden to him.”
“Uncle Edmin doesn’t care about that at all. If he does, why does he take care of us now?” as a child, Mike was actually more insightful than Snow Cecy.
“Mom, you are under too much pressure.”
Mike sobbed and said in a low voice, “or do you think I’m just a burden to you? Are you worried that if you and uncle Edmin have your own child in the future, I’ll be redundant at home?”
“Silly boy!”
Snow Cecy interrupted Mike, “Mom, don’t think like that. No matter what happens in the future, you are always the most important person in mom’s world. You can’t be redundant. Do you know?”
With a little tears in her eyes, she held the child in her arms and touched the back of his head. “I will let you grow up well!”
Because of this episode, Snow had been unhappy all the time.
After dinner, she proposed to send Terrence Edmin downstairs.
Judging from her expression, Terrence Edmin guessed that she had something to say to her, so after going out with her, she stared at her side face and asked, “what do you want to say?”
“I know that Mr. Edmin has taken good care of me and Mike these days, and I also know what Mr. Edmin means. But Mr. Edmin, don’t you think that there is a gap between us?” after walking to the elevator, Snow Cecy stopped and looked seriously at Terrence Edmin. “You are so excellent, while I am a divorced woman with a criminal record and a child. Can your excellent family accept me?”
“Why can’t you accept it? They don’t pay much attention to the common people’s opinions. Besides, you are so excellent that you can offset the darkness on your body.”
Terrence Edmin said affectionately to Snow Cecy.
”
He grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to him. “Snow, I will protect you well. With me in Vicdor Balke, I will never bully you, nor will he take away Mike’s custody. I will treat Mike like my own child. What are you still worried about? The truth of your illness five years ago?”
“I care.”
Tears welled up in Snow Cecy’s eyelashes. “After what happened five years ago, I don’t have much confidence in love. I don’t think you really like me. You probably haven’t met a woman like me before, just for a temporary freshness!”
“Snow Cecy!”
Terrence Edmin suddenly growled angrily, “I have done so many things to you. Now you just attribute everything to me. Don’t you think your words are ungrateful?”
“Yes, I’m such an ungrateful man. Do you know what happened to Vicdor Balke five years ago? Haven’t you doubted that in fact, those things are really my schemes? People like me may begin to plot against you one day and want to get everything you have. At that time, you will end up much worse than Vicdor Balke. Under such circumstances, will you also be with me?”
Obviously, Snow Cecy was almost driven mad by Terrence Edmin. She yelled at him.
“Of course!”
Without any hesitation, Terrence Edmin nodded and said, “no matter what kind of woman you are, I will be with you. I’m happy that you really want to set me up. After all, you can fight against me wisely. At least you are not a vase.”
“You…” Snow Cecy didn’t expect Terrence Edmin to say that.
She thought that her words would frighten Terrence Edmin back.
She didn’t know how to react after being said like this.
“What’s wrong?”
Terrence Edmin was amused by her reaction. “Don’t you know how to respond to me?”
“Mr. Edmin…” Snow Cecy said slowly.
“Just call me. Terence.”
Terrence Edmin didn’t want to hear another word of alienation.
Snow Cecy tried to call out the words, but she still couldn’t accept the change in the relationship between the two.
“Don’t worry too much!” Terrence Edmin slightly bent down and looked into her eyes. “Didn’t you say that you would repay me? Now I want you to repay me. The only way is to marry me!”
“Is it really worth it?” Snow Cecy sighed and asked tiredly.
She couldn’t win over Terrence Edmin. This man was so powerful that she had no chance to refute him.
Terrence Edmin nodded firmly, “of course it’s worth it! You deserve all the best things in the world, and a man like me to take care of you.”
Seeing that he was still boasting, Snow Cecy couldn’t help laughing.
Finally, she had no choice but to nod helplessly. “Okay, I understand. I will think about our relationship carefully.”
“You still want to think about it?” Terrence Edmin felt that she had given this girl a lot of time to think about it.
In fact, she should have known the answer in her heart, but she didn’t dare to admit it now.
Snow Cecy looked up at him and said, “aren’t you going to accompany Mike to the parent-child activity in the kindergarten next month? I’ll tell you my answer after that activity.”
