Walking out of the cabin, Ethan slowed down his pace on purpose.
Sure enough, there seemed to be faint black shadows flashing in the garden.
After turning a path and walking to a place with bright light, a small black figure rolled over to Ethan.
"Father."
The soft voice of a child sounded crisp in the night.
The corners of Ethan's mouth moved upward, which was unique only in front of this little kid.
"Pumpkin. It's so dark outside. Why do you come out? There are so many delicious food in the room. Why don't accompany your grandma."
His voice was full of love.
"I don't want to be inside. Dad, they are so strange. They are all holding wine glasses and talking. Those aunts are so strange. Their clothes are full of holes, and even their backs are outside. They are ugly. Aren't they cold?"
Hearing Pumpkin's words, Ethan's smile deepened. He picked Pumpkin up. Only an innocent child could say such sweet words.
"I think my mother is more beautiful."
All of a sudden, Pumpkin uttered these words, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Ethan was confused by his words.
"Your mother?"
"Yes, father. You said my mother went abroad. She is back now, isn't she? Why didn't you tell me? Humph. You are a bad dad. I won't talk to you anymore."
The excitement in the beginning faded away, and Pumpkin was angry with Ethan.
"Are you angry?" Ethan leaned over and teased him.
Pumpkin turned his face aside and pouted.
Ethan smiled in his heart.
It must be Old Mrs. Huo. She must be kidding in front of Pumpkin when she saw that Joana come back and wanted them to get married as soon as possible.
However, Pumpkin was the only descendant of his brother. Ethan couldn't let him be wronged.
"Pumpkin, do you like your mother?"
"Yes, I like it. Pumpkin likes Mommy very much. She is so beautiful with a red face."
Thinking of Cindy, Pumpkin felt excited and his face lit up. Even his black eyes lit up.
Ethan only said it was Joana, but he was still surprised. He had just gone out for a short time, but when did Joana win this little guy's heart?
However, what Pumpkin said next made him even more surprised.
"Dad, take me to mom. I haven't seen mom for a long time. I miss her." Pumpkin raised his head and looked at Ethan seriously.
Looking for his mother?
Miss her?
Haven't seen?
Ethan was messed up by Pumpkin.
'Is he sick?
He touched Pumpkin's forehead.
Nothing unusual?
"Mr. Will, come down. Look at your shoes. Your father's clothes are dirty." Lily ran all the way here and shouted from afar.
Pumpkin didn't respond. Instead, he wriggled in Ethan's arms and complained. He kept asking Ethan to take him to his mother.
Lily ran over and took Ethan from Pumpkin. "Mr. Ethan, let me do it."
"Lily, call Dr. Ye and ask him to check if Pumpkin is sick or not. He is talking nonsense."
"No, no, I don't want Doctor Ye. I want my mother."
Pumpkin shouted, shaking his head like a rattle drum.
Every time Dr. Ye came to see him, something bad would happen. Although he was young, he remembered it clearly.
Lily coaxed Pumpkin and smiled at Ethan, "it doesn't matter. Since he met Miss Cindy that day, Mr. Will has been like this for the past few days. He's been asking for mom."
Miss Cindy?
Noticing the confusion in Ethan's eyes, Lily told Ethan everything that Pumpkin saw Cindy that morning.
