âToday is Saturday, no need to go to class,â said Simon, with a glimmer of anticipation in his beautiful eyes.
Looking at those hopeful eyes, Valda couldnât refuse anymore.
George said, âSimon, come here!â
But Simon seemed to ignore it, while Grace held onto Valdaâs hand.
Valda looked hesitant, glancing at the child and then at Brian. âBrian, thisâ¦â
âIâll listen to you.â Brian directly handed over the decision-making power to Valda.
Valda thought for a moment and said to George, âMr. Gregory, if youâre comfortable with it, why donât we let Simon play with us today? Weâll make sure to send him back to the Gregory family afterwards.â
George said, âHow can this be appropriate?â
âI actually quite like Simon,â said Valda. She just doesnât like George sighed as he looked at his son who was holding Valdaâs hand tightly and refused to let go.
âAlright then, Iâll trouble you with this. But you donât have to go out of your way to send Simon back to the Gregory family. Iâll come and pick him up myself.â
âOkay,â Valda replied.
George then gave some instructions to his son before leaving.
Valda, Brian, and Simon started their journey for the day.
For the sake of convenience during his trip, Brian had arranged for a car to be provided by the subsidiary of Hart Group, Deer Capital, at this location.
At the moment, Brian is driving while Simon and Valda are sitting in the back seat.
âDo you want to come out and play with us? Today weâre just visiting some ordinary sights in Deer Capital that youâve probably already been to, so you might find it boring,â said Valda.
âI just donât want to stay at home and deal with my grandparents and dad,â Simon said with a bit of an old-fashioned tone.
Valda was surprised, âOh, why? They should treat you well, right?â
She heard from Brian that the Gregory family only has one child, Simon. Because of this, Amber had thought about getting custody of the child, but the Gregory family was not willing to give it up.
âItâs good, but⦠my grandparents donât like mommy. Iâve heard them say that mommy is a bad woman and that sheâs the reason why daddy is like this now. And they keep talking about finding me a new mommy all the time!â Simon said.
Upon hearing this, Valda could only sigh and think that every family has their own difficulties to face.
âSo what about you, what do you think?â she asked. Children at this age are generally precocious and have their own ideas.
At this moment, Valda didnât treat the other person as a child, but asked them in an equal and inquiring tone.
Simon remained silent, and Valda didnât push him. It was as if he could speak if he wanted to, but if he didnât want to, then he didnât have to.
After a while, Simon said, âI donât like it when they speak ill of Mommy. It was clearly Daddy who caused Mommyâs suffering! Iâve read many reports and even searched online. Many people online say that if Daddy had helped Mommy at that time, she wouldnât have suffered so much.â
âYour father must be regretting it now,â said Valda. Although she didnât like George, she could tell from his eyes that there was a sense of despair towards life.
The impact of these things on that man can be imagined.
âI donât want a new mommy either,â Simon said. âI donât want to stay at home, and I donât want to go to school. It seems like everyone is being very careful around me, whispering behind my back and not wanting me to know what theyâre saying. But actually, I know what theyâre talking about!â
