Soon Christy Zhong arrived home. Wen made a lunge for her. She held her by the shoulders and looked at her up and down, “Let me see whether you change or not.”
Wen hadn’t seen her for a week. Now she felt very excited. There was even a surprising tone in her voice.
Christy was about to talk with her when she noticed that Justin was staring at her coldly. So she walked to him. “Why aren’t you feel excited when seeing me?”
Why was he so aloof? Christy’s heart ached a little. Was she too neglectful of him?
Life was painful. And at this moment, his expression stung her heart. She squatted in front of him with pains and sadness in her eyes.
Wen noticed her expression. She stopped joking with her and squatted beside him too. She asked concernedly, “What’s wrong with you?”
They had a good time just now. What happened to him now? Did he really have an emotional trauma?
They were just twenty-something. It’s not easy for them to bring up a kid for so many years. But that’s their choice. They should shoulder the responsibility.
Observing that they showed signs of worry, Justin spoke in a calm and sober voice, “That’s how I get along with you, isn’t it? Christy just left for a week. There’s no need to be excited.”
He was right. But Justin was just two years old. He hadn’t seen his mother for a week. And he should feel excited when seeing her again. They began to doubt whether he was mentally and physically healthy.
At this moment, they were bewildered. But they had no idea what they should do next.
Christy stared at him and said with emotion, “But I felt very happy when I saw your face. I really miss you.” She tried to touch him by showing her love.
Wen nodded and added, “I also miss you. So when I went to pick you up, I was really excited and happy.”
Wen and Christy exchanged a glance. They had the same idea. That was to restore his nature as a child with their enthusiasm and passion.
The kid should have been more excited than them. But he was too calm, which made them worry about him.
Justin said with some impatience, “You two old women are so annoying! I just don’t understand why families should stay together every day. You have your work and I need to study. Why are you so childish?”
He made some good points. But they just worried about him, especially Christy. She felt indebted to him.
Christy held Justin’s hand while Wen held the other. They walked to the room.
There’s no rush. If Justin really had an emotional flaw, they would change him little by little. Now they could only accept the truth and show their love for him.
“How’s your weekend? Did you have fun with your aunt Wen?” Christy wanted Justin to talk more.
