Sierra had to carry Wesley into the room patiently.
"Don't cry. Today we are going to say goodbye to your dad. Dad has always hoped Wesley to be happy. Wesley, be strong and be like a man, okay?"
"No... no..."
Wesley cried out.
"I want dad! Mom, you must have made a mistake. Dad is so great. How could he die in a car accident? I don't believe it! I want dad back. He didn't die. He won't leave me alone! This is a prank, isn't it?"
"That's enough, Wesley. Your father has passed away. It's not the time for you to be so naughty. You are your father's only son and the only heir of your father. Many people will come to the funeral later. Do you want to shame your father? You should let everyone know that even if your father leaves, you can still lead the Simpson family. You can't be naughty."
Sierra said these words coldly. Wesley felt that what his mother said seemed to be reasonable, but he still couldn't ignore his father's leaving.
Wesley really wanted his father back. He missed his father so much. He wanted to play football with him again. He loved his father so much. he wanted to do a lot of things with his father. How could his father leave him just like this?
In the past few days, Wesley didn't go to school. He was immersed in sorrow. Except for Sierra's persuasion, no one could make him recover a little. Wesley didn't want to talk to anyone else.
"Mom, why are you so calm? I'm so sad about my father's death, but I've never seen you cry."
Wesley asked with some resentment. Since he knew from his father that the woman in front of him was not his biological mother, Wesley had been watching Sierra.
He had always been sensitive. Wesley could sense the subtle difference.
However, after getting along with Sierra for such a long time, Wesley still relied on her. Sierra had always asked him to be strong. Since his father passed away, every time he cried, she would only ask him to cheer up and stop being immersed in sadness. He knew that his mother was right, but he just felt that something was wrong.
It shouldn't be like this. If his father really left this world, his mother should be sad like him, not like this. She had shown no sadness at all.
Wesley felt sorry for his father. He didn't think his mother cared about his father so much.
His father once said that the worst result was that his mother had always been hostile to his family. Perhaps, his mother had stolen him from his biological mother.
"Wesley, I was too impulsive just now. But it is your father's funeral today. We can't let others laugh at us, right? Now your dad is no longer protecting us. All people outside want to bully us. Only when you and I cheer up can we protect ourselves. Your father also hopes that we can protect ourselves, right?"
Wesley had to nod. He couldn't figure out what his mother had said wrong.
However, there was suspicion in his mind, so he was naturally suspicious of his mother's words and actions.
But in the end, Wesley thought of what his father had reminded him.
'Never be too impulsive in front of your foster mother and Never express too much of your emotions, unless your foster mother wanted to do something harmful to you.'
Otherwise, he should listen to his foster mother obediently.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I'm just too sad. It is Dad's funeral. I won't shame him. I'm gonna wash my face and brush my teeth first. I'll come downstairs to have breakfast with you later. You can wait for me downstairs."
Sierra breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she had been tired of playing a good mother for a long time.
After the funeral, she would sell off the property immediately. As for Wesley, she would not let the child live in this world anymore.
On the other side, Georgia and Annie woke up early in the morning.
Georgia woke up earlier than everyone else. She went to the vegetable market outside to buy green onion and coriander, and then came back to cook noodles.
She felt that there were too many things in her mind. If she thought about them carefully, Georgia felt that her head was going to explode. She didn't want herself to be in such a bad mood, so Georgia got up early in the morning to buy ingredients and prepared to cook.
Only when she was in the kitchen could Georgia keep calm.
When she finished cutting the green onion and coriander, Elsie and Wilson also woke up. Not long after, Annie also woke up. Georgia cooked noodles for each of them.
