I Only Want You novel Chapter 1047

"Mom..."

Arvis lay on the bed and called Alaina gently, but Alaina didn't reply to him. Then he raised his voice slightly and called her again, "Mom!"

Alaina came to sense and forced a smile, "What's wrong, Arvis?"

"Mom..." Arvis knitted his good- looking eyebrows. He pursed his lips and sat up, "Mom, from now on... I won't drink milk anymore."

"Why?" Alaina was a little confused and said, "Arvis, drinking milk powder is good for your health, and you can get stronger."

Arvis shook his head, "Mom, I'll eat more rice and vegetables in the future. In this way, I can also grow taller. I..." He looked at Alaina, "If I don't drink milk, grandpa can give uncle more money so that uncle can run faster."

Alaina's heart ached, and her eyes were brimming with tears, "Arvis..."

It was because Arvis heard what Rhory and Drorit had said that he suddenly said so, right?

When Rhory and Drorit whispered those

words, she felt guilty and wondered what she should do next. However, she didn't expect that Arvis would have such an idea.

She always knew that Arvis was very smart and sensible, but... he was just a child.

After Arvis was born, she didn't have much breast milk because she was in poor health, so Arvis had been drinking powdered milk since he was a child. They were not rich, and she didn't want to saddle Rhory and Drorit, so she bought domestic and cheap powdered milk for Arvis. Canned powdered milk was more expensive than powdered milk in bags, so she always bought powdered milk in bags.

When Arvis was one-year-old, she didn't want him to drink powdered milk anymore, but Drorit insisted on buying it for Arvis and he had been drinking milk.

In such a small village, the children of other families all lived better lives than Arvis. What about her? It seemed that she always let Arvis suffer with her.

Looking at Alaina's misty eyes, Arvis was a little panicked. He took Alaina's hand and stumbled, "Grandpa said that it would cost a lot of money to mend the boat. Uncle needs money, but grandpa has no money. If I don't drink milk, uncle will have more money..."

Alaina wanted to cry. She took two deep breaths and could not help but think of what she heard just now.

"I went to Mike's house just now. He said that he had just bought a car for his son, and he had no extra money. Then I went to other neighbours. They all said that they had no money. I can owe the money for repairing the boat first, but I don't know if well have a great harvest. Now those fishing men have bought big boats, and we can't compete with them."

"Take it easy. Our life will get better after Avon graduates from college and has a job."

"He hasn't graduated yet, has he? Alas! We have to pay tuition fees for Avon and earn his keep every month. There are so many people eating in our family, and we have a poor harvest... Alas!"

"Keep your voice down!" Drorit reminded him and then lowered her voice, "Alaina will think too much if she hears this."

"I didn't say anything else."

Later, he asked Drorit. Drorit told him that Alaina wouldn't cry if he didn't mention the word "father" in front of her again.

"Arvis, in fact, I have thought about it. To you, it's good to have a dad. Dad is a very powerful person. He can help me and take care of you. Don't you envy other children who has fathers? So, I'll let you have a dad, okay?"

She had never thought about it before, but what Drorit said to her when she was washing the dishes was reasonable. She knew Drorit said those words for her and Arvis, but she did not agree at that time.

When she heard Arvis's words, she thought that it might not be a bad thing to get married with a simple and honest man. When Arvis grew up, he didn't have to face some problems of one-parent family. Moreover... if she got married, she could lighten the load of this family.

But... the premise was that the man could be good to Arvis.

Early the next morning, Alaina told Drorit about her decision.

Drorit wondered why she suddenly agreed, "Alaina, do you misunderstand me? I didn't mean..."

"No." Before Drorit finished her words, Alaina said, "I've thought about it. You're right, and this is good for Arvis in the future. Besides, I'm still young, and I should get married and have a shoulder to reply on." She didn't say a single word about her real reason.

Drorit asked her a few more times to make sure that she had really made up her mind. Then she asked about her requirements.

Alaina thought for a moment, "I don't have any requirements. I just hope that... the man could be nice. He can't mind Arvis's existence and can be good to Arvis."
