Seeing that Elsa picked it up, Winona showed a loving smile and said to Elsa, "Look, this is what Ren looked like when he was a child. He was very handsome, wasn't he? When I first saw him, I liked him very much. At that time, I really wanted to hug my dear grandson."
Thinking of that time, Winona wore a wrinkled smile on her face. She didn't know if Soren still remembered it or not. Anyway, she still remembered that when she went to hug Soren, he was only a three year old child. He stood quietly with a cunning smile. When she went over, he ran faster than a rabbit. She missed his hug and fell hard. Because of this, Fred almost hit Soren. It was the first time that Soren came back and saw his father, and they had a bad impression on each other.
Winona was so scared that she didn't dare to show her love to him easily. She was afraid that it would make her son and grandson unhappy.
Winona held the photo and stroked the child's face with indescribable love.
Soren sat beside the old woman slowly. Although he didn't say anything, his action showed a lot of meaning. Winona was very happy, but she suddenly burst into tears. She held Soren's hand and said, "Ren, I..."
"Grandma, Ren understands your kindness," said Elsa softly, putting her hand on Soren's finger.
"Ren was so handsome when he was a child. When Susie brought him here, he was eloquent and lovable. As soon as Susie left, he became very silent. No matter what the adult said, he did not like to speak. It was his father who scared him. When we saw that he didn't say anything, we were very worried. It happened that the boy from the Qiao family was a few years older. When he heard that there was a child at home, he came over to play. He gave him this toy and the machine gun and Ren was very happy, but he still didn't like to talk. We asked him to take a family photo, but he refused." As Winona said, she pouted lovingly, "His stubborn temper is really the same as that of men from the Wang family."
At this moment, Soren finally spoke, "Grandma, didn't you say that I didn't want to take photos? Didn't you take this photo the first time I came here?"
Winona was stunned by his words. It seemed that what she said for Fred just now was also not true. After thinking for a while, she patted her head and said, "I remember it. It's like this. Don't refuse to listen to me."
"Just say it. I've heard a lot. It doesn't matter," said Soren.
"Speaking of this photo, I have to mention the baby in this photo. As you know, after your father couldn't make your stepmother pregnant, your stepmother had the idea of adopting a child. Didn't she transfer back to work later? She was in the hospital. At that time, someone had a child and didn't want it. She left it in the bathroom. She found it and thought it was fate. She wanted to adopt this child who had lost his parents, so she took him back home. At that time, Ren stayed at home unhappily, didn't say anything, and didn't eat well. He was congenial to the child who was brought back. He liked the child very much as soon as he saw him. When the child was brought back, he couldn't help crying. When he was with Ren, he stopped crying. He didn't even open his eyes. He just smiled and didn't cry even when he was sucking and changing diapers. Originally, Ren wanted to leave and look for his mother. But he was congenial to this child. The two children, one elder and one younger, were chatting together. We all did not know what they were talking. The baby couldn't speak yet, but Ren could play with him for a long time." Winona said sadly, "It's also because the atmosphere in this house was not good. If it was good, Ren was willing to be close to everyone, and he wouldn't play with a little baby."
Soren asked softly, "So you took this photo?"
"Yes, I asked you to take the family photo, but you didn't agree. You said you wanted to take the photo with the baby. So I have this photo."
Soren nodded and said nothing else.
Elsa felt it strange and asked, "Grandma, what about this child?"
Winona thought for a while and said, "Your father doesn't agree to adopt this child. He said that it's enough to have Ren alone, and his love can only be given to Ren. Your stepmother had no choice but to send the child away. It was also because Ren was reluctant to leave the baby, they let the child stay for a few more days. When he took the child away, Ren cried. That baby is also a poor child."
Both Soren and Elsa sighed. All these stories sounded very ordinary, but when it happened to them and their families, it made people feel so sad and helpless.
In fact, Ada had a hard time in this matter.
Winona didn't say anything, but Soren and Elsa could tell her emotion.
