"Mr. Bai, I can tell if there are any misunderstandings between us, so you don't have to tell me. Besides, if I keep listening to you, I'm really afraid that I'll become mean."
Isaac gritted his teeth tightly. He felt so depressed and terrible in heart.
"Oh! Forget it. I don't want to talk to you anymore. You can go."
Isaac clenched his fists with great strength. After a few seconds, he propped his elbows upon the bed and sat up slightly.
Adele thought that he was really about to leave and relaxed a bit. However, he glanced at her and lay on the bed again.
Adele was stunned and felt angry in heart, "Are you leaving or not?" Saying this, she was about to push him, trying to drive him away.
"Today, I had something to do and went out, and then I met a little boy."
He spoke in an indicative tone without any mood swings. However, Adele couldn't push him anymore. She was taken aback when she heard this.
Her heart was beating rapidly and she began to panic.
It had been quite a while and he had talked so much. She thought that he really didn't know anything. She almost forgot about this thing, but he suddenly mentioned it...
He...
Isaac heaved a deep sigh, "I've seen him once before, but I didn't expect to see him again today."
Adele was so nervous. She held her breath and lay on the bed with her body stiffened, not daring to make any movement, because she was afraid that Issac would notice her excitement and abnormal behavior at the moment.
"He got lost and said that he was looking for his mother." Isaac smiled faintly and his eyes were brooding, "He's very young, but very sensible. I know that his family is not rich. Maybe children in poor families always become sensible at a young age. But... he's too young."
"He is small, but he talks in a logical way, and he is very polite. His family may be poor, but his family really educate him well. I like that child very much and I feel distressed for him."
Adele swallowed with difficulty. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart clanged like fifteen buckets in a single well.
"You know what? When I saw the child for the first time, he was trying to get back a bracelet that his mother liked very much. At that time, those children said that he was a b*stard and even beat him."
Adele's breathing suddenly paused, and her heart was in great pain. If Issac could see her heart, he would probably see her heart bleeding.
A few days ago, when Arvis gave her the bracelet, he didn't mention these things. If Isaac didn't say this, she might never know that her little son, who needed her care very much, had done such a thing for her behind her back...
She was really touched, but she was also sad and distressed.
Moreover, although she had been wearing the bracelet, it didn't mean that she couldn't throw it away. If she had known that Arvis would be beaten in order to get it back, she would have thrown it away in the past.
However, had Issac seen Arvis at that time?
Why? Was this because of fated family affection?
Isaac sighed lightly and then smiled gently. When he spoke again, his tone was much tenderer. He muttered as if he was talking to himself, "When I first saw him, I felt very familiar with him. His eyes looked like Adele's eyes, but there was no other similarity apart from that. However, I liked him so much and wanted to be closer to him."
Adele inhaled a huge breath of air. Suddenly, she didn't know how to breathe.
"You're right. I'm not a good person. I want a lot of things, but probably very few. I just want a family, and I don't have to be super rich, as long as I can make my family live a comfortable life."
"But." Isaac paused, "I have nothing now. When I looked at that child, my heart ached. If my child was still alive... I don't know whether my child was a boy or a girl, but it must be so cute. Perhaps it would look like me or her. However, now I have nothing left.
"It's all my fault."
Hearing what he said, Adele was more disgusted and hated him more. Did he know that it was his fault? Was it useful? What did he do in the past?
However, she asked, "Well, how about the child? The one you saw today. Did you find his family?" She must ask, and could not ask too bluntly.
"Yeah." He seemed to be very satisfied that she finally talked to him, so he was very happy, "His grandmother came to pick you up."
"Then..." Adele swallowed, "Do you know where he lives? Did anyone in his family mention his parents?"
"Why do you..." He wanted to ask her why she cared so much about the child, but before he could ask her, he suddenly thought of something and said with understanding, "No. His grandmother seemed to be very anxious. She saw child and then left with him. I wanted to send them back, but his grandmother refused."
Adele heaved a huge sigh of relief and her mood lightened up as well.
It seemed that he really didn't ask about Arvis's mother and didn't know Arvis's background.
This was really a piece of good news for her! She was in a good mood, so she had nothing to worry about, "Oh, I want to rest now. You... go out. It's late."
Isaac was silent for a moment, and then pulled the quilt up for her, "I said that I will sleep here tonight."
