She got up so fast and rushed out of the bedroom without wearing a shoe.
No one was in the rooms. She took a lift to the first floor. What she saw was unbelievable.
Leo was sitting on Victor’s thighs and telling Victor about his childhood. Victor was feeding him with a bowl of porridge. Both of them seemed so enjoyable.
Now she was so jealous to see they were getting so close.
But thankfully she didn’t lose her son. Victor didn’t take away Leo forcedly.
She adjusted her mood, but the next second she felt a little cool, finding she didn’t wear shoes. She wanted to go back the bedroom and put on her shoes, but heard Leo speaking, “Daddy, will you be with Mommy and me forever?”
“Yesterday is my best day ever! Daddy and Mommy are accompanying me. And my schoolmates won’t call me whoreson anymore!”
Whoreson?
This word, like a weapon, hurting Hedy so badly. She was too painful to take a breath.
Victor happened to see Hedy standing there. He looked at her with warning and censure.
Hedy couldn’t bear and ran away. Victor comforted Leo in a mild tone, “Don’t worry, my son. I won’t leave you and Mommy from now on. I will be here for you all the time. And I will protect you! I love you, my son.”
“Daddy, I love you too. You are so nice!”
Hedy walked into the elevator, crying.
As a mother, what she wanted to see was her son’s smile. She wanted to bring happiness for her son.
It was true that she was afraid Leo would be taken away by Victor. But when she saw they get on so well with each other, she could not bear to separate them. She couldn’t be selfish. After all, they were father and son. She couldn’t cut their ties of blood.
“Might be later?” She took a deep breath and said to herself.
In the next few days, Victor kept showing how much he loved Leo in front of Hedy, which made him a real good father.
Hedy felt complicated about it when she looked at Leo’s smiling face.
“Leo, come here. Give Mommy a hug.” Hedy got closer to him.
Leo was happy to do this. He held her neck and gave her kisses on her cheek, looking at Hedy with bright eyes, “Mommy, let’s go to the playground, shall we?”
Hedy knew that the “We” Leo talked about included Victor.
He was excited about the fact that he had a father. And he kept mentioning all the time.
But thinking of going outside with Victor, Hedy hesitated. She was worried and wanted to refuse Leo’s idea, but Victor agreed at once, “Good idea. Let’s get ready for it.”
“Mommy, let’s go!” Leo pulled Hedy into the bedroom. He could not wait to open the closet and picked some clothes for Hedy.
Hedy was so shocked about what she saw in the closet.
Her job was about fashion design, so she knew so well about the clothes.
They were truly expensive! And some of them were the latest collection from shows, which meant that they were not for sale.
How wealthy he was!
“Daddy prepares these dresses for you! How are they? Do you like them? Are you happy now?”
He was cheerful, looking at Hedy with pride.
