"What question? As long as Mommy wants to know, I will answer it honestly," Huey put down the toy in his hand and replied seriously, his eyes looking right into her mother's.
"If your daddy is in S City, would you like to see him?" Annie observed his reaction secretly, wondering if the subject would seem a little heavy for him. After all, he was just a child.
"What about you, Mommy? Would you like to see him, too?" The little boy tilted his head, and wondered, 'So, it turns out that the place far away from home that mommy told me is here. So, she has been lying to me? I could not see daddy, not because he is too far away and couldn't come back, but because he doesn't want to see me at all. Hmmm, just as I have guessed.'
"I..." Annie was a little hesitant. 'Can I tell him? As a matter of fact, I really want to be with Rain, even in my dreams.' She thought secretly.
"If Mommy doesn't want to see him, then I also don't want to see him. Anyway, he doesn't want us." Huey mumbled in resignation. Annie's hesitation led to his misunderstanding. So it was but natural for a child to think and react that way, now thinking that his own father was hiding from them.
"No honey, it's not like that at all. Your daddy would love to see you and your sister so much; but he doesn't even know about you two yet." Annie said and bit her lips. Although Huey was only four years old, his understanding was a lot higher than most children his age.
"So what you just said is not if, but Daddy is actually in S City, isn't he?" said Huey, looking at his mommy with great expectation. Thinking that they were so close to his daddy now, he couldn't help but get excited.
"Yes, that's right. So I'd like to ask your opinion. Would you like to see him?" Looking at him very earnestly she was curious to know what his real feelings about it were.
"Mommy, didn't you just say that Daddy didn't know about us yet? Don't you first have to tell him about us and ask him if he'd want to see us?" Huey was analyzing the situation like a small adult.
This had become a very serious problem, so Annie suddenly fell into silence. As Leena only said that everyone would get together, but she was not certain whether Rain would also be there. That was to say that she might not even see Rain on that day. In that case, she would have much to worry about. She did not want to disappoint her kids.
Just as Rain Xia walked out of the FX International Group building, he saw Eleanor waiting there. He paused for a moment, but the next second he still chose to walk towards her.
"Mr. Xia, what a coincidence!" Eleanor smiled and waved to check if he really saw her.
"If it is business, please communicate with your agent directly. If it is a personal matter, then I am sorry! I have no obligation to stay here and chat with you." What made him most annoyed was when such a woman like Eleanor, whom he only asked for help once, would think that he owed her the world and he would be at her every beckon and call.
