"Urgh!" Grace couldn't help sighing again.
Grace had lost count of how many times she had sighed tonight.
Gary looked at his mommy . Finally, he could not help but ask, "Mommy, are you in love?"
Grace suddenly came to her senses and looked at her son's tender face with astonishment. "What, what did you say?"
There was not much emotion on Gary's precocious face. He looked at Grace from top to bottom and said, "Mommy, what kind of person is he?"
"What?" Grace was shocked again.
However, her son had a "Mommy, don't lie to me" look on his face.
"Mommy, you are so young and beautiful. You are only twenty- four years old. Even the auntie staying next door is in love and dating, but you have to raise me. It's all because of me." Gary said with an apologetic face, "It's all my fault making it difficult for you to find a boyfriend."
Seeing her son blaming himself so harshly, Grace felt her heart shrink.
"No, no, honey." Grace hurried to her son, bent down, and looked at him apologetically. She said, "Honey, Mommy doesn't need a boyfriend. I'm very happy to have you."
"Mommy." The little fellow knew that his mommy was comforting him, and feeling guilty he said. "I'm happy that I have a mommy, but I'm not your husband. Auntie says that mommy needs a mature and steady man to take care of her and then raise me together."
"Well, son, there is no need for that."
Grace was very distressed. She felt gratified and sorry at the same time to have such a sensible child.
It was God's blessing for her to have such a lovely and sensible child after that night.
Despite losing Simon and her first night, Grace had this lovely child. If the other baby had survived, it would have been more perfect.
Things were difficult to be perfect.
"Honey, mommy doesn't need help." Grace said.
"Then is Mommy waiting for Dad?" Gary looked at her. Although he was young, his eyes were full of wisdom. "Have you found out if the person who looked like me is really not my father yet?"
Grace was stunned. She suddenly realized that Gary's purpose was to ask about his own father.
Grace blinked her eyes, and there was a hint of wisdom in her sparkling eyes. She said softly, "Baby, do you really want to know who Dad is?"
Gary's eyes flashed, and his eyes met his mother's eyes. He asked, "Can I?"
