Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse novel Chapter 117

Book10 Chapter6

I would often stop him from eating too much candy, and I'd firmly educate him when he was being willful.

Kids can't tell right from wrong; they just know I frequently put restrictions on him, so it was no surprise he didn't want to be close to me anymore.

That day, Charles took him out for a day of fun. After they got home, Aaron boldly declared, "I don't want you to be my mom anymore! I want Vanessa to be my mom!"

"You're not worthy of being my mom! Get out! This is my home!"

Doris has asked me in private whether it would be alright if she didn't befriend Aaron, as she isn't fond of him.

"Of course, you can," I said, tone flat but a bit curious. "Why don't you like him?"

Doris is a big-hearted child. She rarely expresses dislike for anyone outright. Most of the time, she is just lukewarm.

"He's hurt you," Doris replied flatly. "You always look sad when you see him."

I w a s taken aback.

"He knows it makes you sad, yet he keeps showing up in front of you,"

Doris continued, lowering her head a bit glumly. "Can I hit him?"

"I can't take on Charles yet, but I can handle Aaron," Doris thought for a moment. "Mom, can you take me to learn Taekwondo?"

"I'll become really strong, Mommy. I'll protect you."

I agreed to enroll Doris in Taekwondo classes.
