Chapter 848: Chapter 848: But She Never Comes Back
The little guy sighed and said deliberately, “I think, if you had a child, your child would definitely say you’re a nagging mom.”
“…Really? Am I really that nagging?” An Ruo asked self-doubtfully.
Kangkang ate two mouthfuls of porridge, then lowered his long eyelashes and spoke softly, “Aunt Ruo’an, I was lying to you. Actually, your child would definitely be very happy because my mom is just like you—she cares about me a lot, so I’m very happy, and I believe your child would be very happy too.”
An Ruo’s gaze couldn’t help but tremble as the little guy continued to speak sorrowfully, “Aunt Ruo’an, you really seem like my mom. Are all moms with children the same way in this world?”
He lifted his big eyes to look at her, with his eyes unabashedly showing his longing for his mother.
An Ruo’s heart felt as if it was being fiercely squeezed, and before she could react, her hand was already uncontrollably reaching out to embrace his small body.
“Do you miss your mom very much?” She asked him while stroking his head.
Kangkang snuggled obediently in her arms, not struggling, “Mm, I miss her so much, but she never comes back. I cry, and she doesn’t come back; I refuse to eat, and she still doesn’t come back; I don’t go to school, and she still doesn’t come back. Dad says mom will definitely come back, but when will she come back? When I grow up? But I still have a long, long time before I grow up…”
“Aunt Ruo’an, are you also a mom? Would you abandon your child and not appear, not care for him?” The little guy asked her, crying.
In front of others, he was a smart, sensible, and never-crying good child. But he’s just a kid; he’s very fragile, and when he misses his mom, he cries helplessly.
They all thought he wouldn’t be too sad without his mom, but they were wrong. He’s very sad, very sad; he just doesn’t want others to know that he’s not strong.
An Ruo hugged him tightly, her heart aching intensely.
Kangkang, sorry, Mom is sorry for you, sorry…
Tears started to slide down, and An Ruo used all her strength to restrain the impulse to recognize him as her son.
“Young Master, I’ve also been a mom; I know a mother loves her child the most. Your mom won’t abandon you and not care for you. You have to believe that she loves you all the time and will love you forever.”
“Sob… Then why doesn’t she come back?” Kangkang asked, feeling wronged.
An Ruo let go of him a little, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and gently smiled at him, “Maybe she has her reasons and hardships for not coming back. Believe me, as soon as there’s a chance, she’ll definitely rush back as fast as she can, not delaying a single minute.”
An Ruo nodded heavily, “Really, Auntie won’t lie to you.”
Kangkang looked at her, then leaned back into her embrace. His little face sniffed at her chest and murmured, “Auntie, you smell the same as my mom. Can you hold me more, let me smell more?”
An Ruo hesitated for a moment, but her arms still wrapped tightly around his body.
“Of course, as long as you don’t mind Auntie.”
“I don’t mind Auntie; Auntie, I really like you. You’re as kind as my mom.”
An Ruo curved her lips into a heartfelt smile, silly child, not just like your mom, I actually am your mom.
Kangkang was full and tired from crying.
He nestled in her embrace and gradually felt sleepy. An Ruo gently patted his body, letting him sleep peacefully.
