Chapter 905: His Mom Despises Him
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Grandma Gao couldn’t bear to look at her grandson’s incredulous expression. Turning away, she wiped the tears that had escaped and forced a calm tone. “Oh, you’ll find out whether it’s true or not in due time.”
After saying this, Grandma Gao exited the room. She feared that her emotions would affect Gao Ming’s mood. Over the years, Gao Ming had been alone without his parents, and deep down, he longed for their attention and the warmth of their gaze. Now, it seemed like that yearning might finally come to fruition.
Once the door was closed, Gao Ming opened the toys his father had brought. The first item he pulled out was a toy machine gun.
He crouched under his bed, immersing himself in a solo game of trench warfare, mimicking the soldiers he’d seen in movies as he crawled along, gripping the toy gun with a serious yet triumphant expression. By the end of the game, a satisfied smile spread across his face.
Next, he found a box of glass marbles for a jumping game designed for six players. He set out all six colors of marbles, pretending to be himself, his grandfather, grandmother, father, younger brother, and mother. “Mommy, mommy, will you want me now?” he asked the wall, his voice tinged with a strange mix of hope and despair. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Tears welled up in his eyes as he lay down on his bed, sobbing softly. He envied his younger brother for getting to grow up in their mother’s embrace, yet he also felt a deep fear of her. Yes, he was more afraid of her than he was of his father. He understood that she despised him, having never wanted him by her side as a child.
He didn’t dare to dwell on the thought of his parents moving back in, as it likely meant they would take his brother to the new house while he remained with his grandparents.
It was fine, he reassured himself. He had grown used to not being with his parents. But the more he tried to convince himself, the more the tears flowed, and his heart ached even more.
Time flew by, and soon it was the week of Gu Zi’s pre-exam for the college entrance test.
She had submitted her drafts ahead of schedule and taken leave from the newspaper. For the next few days, she wouldn’t be taking on any new assignments.
