Chapter 129 Different Types of Affection
“Were you sad at the time? You must have been upset, right? Perhaps the person treated you well. How would you allow them to leave your life suddenly?” Josie wasn’t implying anything. She was immersed in her sadness.
“Sad?” Dexter said slowly. He thought of the endless rainy season back then.
The woman, who had always been intelligent and graceful, had hit him frantically that day. She slapped him mercilessly. “If I could, I wish that I never met you. Do you know you’re a vile spawn that ruined my life?!”
Servants rushed forward and pulled her away, shouting for Dexter to leave quickly.
Dexter, who was seven years old at the time, stood frozen on the spot. His mouth was filled. with blood, and he had looked at her numbly. “… But Mommy, I love you very much.”
He was still young, and he hadn’t known how to express his feelings at the time. He only knew how to say ‘I love you.’
The woman turned manic. She felt agitated by what he said. She viciously picked up a cup on the table and threw it at his face. “I don’t need you to love me! Why don’t you
die?!”
For a moment, blood flowed profusely. The boy had stood on the spot and didn’t say a word. while the entire villa went into turmoil.
Dexter composed himself and took a deep breath. “I was too young. I can’t remember well.”
He only remembered that he never expressed his feelings after that incident.
Josie didn’t know what he was thinking about. It was an ambiguous answer.
She seemed to be talking to herself. “My father means a lot to me. He would never desert me even if the world had abandoned me. Back then, we were poor, and he had frostbite on hist hands. He was unwilling to buy a pair of gloves for himself, but he was willing to buy me ice cream after school every day. He didn’t even buy ice cream for Justin.”
“After I grew up, I had everything other girls did. He was young but worked two jobs because of me and ended up sick.”
Dexter said nothing as he listened to her. He seemed to have thought of something.
Her voice choked up, and she said, “I’m going to take my laptop from the car.”
