"Mom, you don't have to explain, I understand." Although Roe is young, he has understood many things, for example, he understood the reason why Vivian let his grandmother bring him up.
He understood why his mother did that, so he didn't get angry.
Vivian was holding Roe's white hands with her slender hands, she said sadly and resignedly, "I'm sorry, Roe. Mom will tell you all the things when you grow up a little."
Children are always sensitive. Roe can feel a sense of sadness from his mother, he was anxious, "It's enough to have you, mom, so don't be sad."
"Well, mom has a thoughtful baby. How would I be sad?" Vivian extremely thanked God for giving her such a sensible baby.
A common saying goes, "One's daughter is a kind-hearted padded jacket." Her Roe is a warm-hearted vest, who can always make her full of power.
After hearing that, Roe was a little bit shy but smiled happily, showing his two rows of little neat teeth, which looked innocent and cute.
Vivian was also infected by his smile, and corners of her mouth was also rising.
"Roe, let's go to see the hippo."
"Well. Let's go." In fact, Roe didn't want to go home so early.
Vivian packed the stuff back into her bag and took Roe to see his favorite hippos. They happened to go to the hippos' shed. The keepers were preparing to feed the hippos on watermelons.
Roe stretched out his neck excitedly to watch the hippos. Vivian was about to get Roe's hair away from his eyes when her phone rang.
Vivian had to take out her phone, seeing the caller ID, she hesitated for a few seconds and it was connected. But she didn't say anything.
Angie had already said, "Vivi, where are you? I'm so bored, I want to come to you."
Vivian was holding Roe's hand in case other people hit him by accident, and maintained her composure, "Angie, you are stay with William, aren't you?"
The resentment in Angie's heart came out, "It's ok if you don't talk about it, Vivi! William accompanied me to the market less than half an hour, and then left without giving me a reason."
And then she pretended to be pitiful, "Vivi, I'm so pitiful! Come and accompany me."
At this time Roe was shocked and said, "Mom! Look! The hippo can eat a watermelon in one bite! Awesome!"
Angie was unsure if there was a kid beside Vivian, she asked, "Vivi, is there a kid beside you?"
Vivian' heart was beating fast. Knowing that Angie didn't heard it clearly, she said calmly, "Oh, it's a child of my relative. I help him take care of the child for a while. I'm sorry, Angie. I can't go now."
"Well, you must come out tomorrow." From Angie's attitude to her daughter, it can be seen that she didn't like children very much, so Angie immediately dispelled the idea of bringing the kid with her.
Vivian agreed and they ended the call.
Roe said with an expression of doing something wrong, "Mom, did I say something wrong?"
"No, you didn't. You are my good boy." Vivian touched him gently.
Roe was soon turned around and was startled by hippo's terrible biting force.
