Esther watched with concern as Bradley turned to leave, and she couldnât help but ask, âIs everything okay? Take care of yourself.â
A cold and indifferent smile formed on Bradleyâs lips as he replied, âThereâs something at the company I need to attend to. Iâll be back later.â
Esther stood under the orange lights, her eyes filled with worry that flickered like shining stars After Bradley entered the elevator, Esther washed her hands with Melindaâs help and sat at the dining table with Felix. They enjoyed a sumptuous dinner prepared by Melinda.
âFelix, itâs just Mommy now. Can you tell me secretly if youâre happy at kindergarten?â Esther had watched a surveillance video where Felix seemed out of place among the other children. He appeared reluctant to join in their games and interactions. Although the teacher had tried to encourage him, he would become isolated as soon as the teacher looked away. Felix insisted, âMommy, Iâm really, really super happy.â
Esther looked at her son, sensing his hesitation to express his true feelings. She asked in confusion, âDonât you believe that Mommy will always stand by your side, no matter what?â
âItâs not that,â Felix confessed under Estherâs gentle and trusting gaze. âThe other kids are too childish.â
âChildish?â Esther questioned, puzzled.
âYeah, the books they read, the songs they sing, the games they play⦠theyâre all so childish.â Felix continued eagerly. âAnd some of the other kids are so dumb. Even after the teacher explains it several times, they still canât understand. Itâs really simple!â
Esther gently explained, âFelix, everyone has different strengths. Some people are good at studying, while others are not. Maybe those other kids simply struggle with learning.â
With a cute expression, Felix asked, âMommy, what am I good at?â
âI donât know,â Esther replied honestly, âBut we can explore together and discover what youâre good at.â
Suddenly, Felix excitedly snapped his fingers and said cutely, âMommy, I know what Iâm best at!â
âWhat is it?â Esther asked, curious.
âIâm best at loving Mommy!â Felix rushed over and hugged Esther, saying in a sweet and cute tone, âMommy, I love you the most in the whole world!â
Esther looked at Felix and warmly embraced him, tears of happiness welling up in her eyes. â1 love you the most too.â
Melinda, who observed this heartwarming scene, couldnât help but think of her own son. She opened the photo album on her phone and looked at his pictures, staring at them for a while before finally sending him some money.
She made a resolution that once she settled in, she would apply for leave and take her son on a trip.
