In the elevator, for a moment, she felt that she must be insane.
She actually agreed to take him out.
What he wore was the set of clothes from yesterday. She was a little worried that someone she knew would recognize him. “Keep your head down.”
He did not have any doubts and obediently lowered his head. She stood on tiptoe and helped him put on the hat on his coat. “Don’t run around in the supermarket. Don’t take off the hat.”
“OK.” He nodded obediently. She heaved a sigh of relief.
This time, he came to the passenger seat consciously. He imitated her to open the door, then sat in it.
Seeing her fasten the seat belt, he followed as well.
She was annoyed all the way that why she would agree.
She really wanted to get mad, but he was so obedient that she couldn’t find any reason to release the anger.
Gosh!
She couldn’t even find trouble at him.
She deliberately chose a relatively remote supermarket. It wasn’t big and she was still worried that she would meet someone.
He followed obediently.
She got a cart and he happily pushed it behind.
She asked him to choose a razor. He laughed and said that what Grace chose was all the best.
“Who allowed you to call me Grace?”
“Oh? Can’t I?” he said with a look of disappointment.
She ignored his expression, awkwardly chose a razor he had used in the past and went ahead.
After a while, she turned around and checked. He was missed! She was in a hurry.
A voice came from the corner suddenly.
“Grace, here!”
She heaved a sigh of relief. She questioned him with a cold face, “You promised not to run around!”
“I’m sorry.” He probably knew that he had done something wrong and looked down sadly. Although he apologized, she felt uncomfortable still.
This was the second time she had heard him apologize.
He learned to apologize.
However, she was faintly unhappy with such an apology.
“Don’t call me Grace, okay?”
“OK, Grace.”
She was helpless. Seeing his handsome face, she was stunned for a moment. There was a hint of an illusion… Was he doing it on purpose?
Beside her.
“Grace, look! I want that pair of pink slippers.”
She was shocked. Pink slippers?
She followed his finger and saw him looking at the slippers with a delighted expression.
She shook her head… He was definitely a child.
He had never liked pink in his life.

How can a woman suffer so much? How can a man be too cruel initially robbing her of dignity and all, then deceiving her after he knows he loves her? How can they not remarry, making their offspring illegitimate? The line between love and hatred is truly fine indeed! Thank you for this story....
