Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse novel Chapter 118

Book10 Chapter7 I sometimes wonder when Aaron will finally tire of this tedious game of "winning over his mother."

He has been stuck in this small town -one without an aquarium, amusement park, or big shopping mall-for nearly three months now.

Perhaps the deep-rooted notion that "what you can't have is the most precious" is ingrained in everyone, even children. The colder I am toward him, the more he clings to me.

He often has a look of melancholy on his face.

When I gently hold Doris's hand.

When I bend down to adjust Doris's dress.

When I secretly present the little dessert I have specially prepared for Doris from the kitchen.

But whenever I look at him, he would quickly sweep away the loneliness and flash me a smile that echoed Doris's.

People's affections always change with their feelings. When I cherished this child, even the slightest bump or bruise he got would leave me feeling upset for a long while.

But now, even though I know he is putting on a brave face, I feel nothing. I even find myself thinking, why doesn't he just leave? Having him around is really quite bothersome.

I don't hate him; I just... don't like him anymore.

Early summer arrives, and after the final exams, summer vacation begins.

That day, I run my café as usual, and Aaron doesn't show up at all until I close up in the evening.

I think he has finally grown bored of the game and decided to embrace his true identity as a wealthy heir.
