When the doorbell chimed, Shu Yan had just finished putting on her eye mask.
She'd cried so many times that day her eyes were so swollen she could barely open them.
Opening the door to see Wen Duoyu standing outside, Shu Yan let out a long breath of relief.
Good thing she'd just used the eye mask!
"Did you have fun today?"
Taking his hand and leading him inside, Shu Yan gave him a once-over from head to toe, and her eyes started to sting again.
They'd only been apart for a single day, yet it was like her son had become a different person.
The little ball of resentment and fury he used to be was now radiating a calm, easygoing warmth.
As if every cell in his body was saying: Mom, I'm really so happy!
Sure enough, Wen Duoyu nodded with a smile. "Mom, I was really, really happy today!"
"I'm glad you were."
Shu Yan gently stroked her son's little face. "Do you want something to eat? Or did you forget to bring something back?"
"No."
