Chapter 16 — I Missed The Day My Child Was Born
Just quietly turned around and left. His back is lonely. Full of failure. But there are no longer any ripples in my heart. There are people. There are stories. Once missed. Then there's no going back forever. I tightened the bag strap in my hand. Walk quickly towards the subway station. I want to go home. Return to my son who is waiting for me. Back to the person who really needs me. Back to the future that belongs to both of us. One year later. My life has completely changed. The online store business is increasingly thriving. Monthly income has stabilized at about fifteen thousand yuan. I quit my job at the company. Fully devoted to running the store. This way you have more time to spend with your children. Income is also much higher than before. Little Bao is now one year and three months old. Know how to call mom. Every day is as active as a little angel.
“Tieu Bao is so smart.”
Mrs. Vuong held the baby. His face was full of love.
“I know how to walk and run.”
“It looks like a miniature adult.”
“Mrs. Wang.”
“I really thank you very much.”
I say sincerely.
“More than a year now.”
“You have helped me so much.”
“Don't be polite.”
Mrs. Vuong smiled gently.
“I love Tieu Bao like my own grandchild.”
“Watching him grow up every day.”
“I'm happy too.”
Right at that moment. The doorbell rang. I opened the door. Saw a man in his thirties standing in front of the door. Spruce. Very good temperament.
“May I ask you?”
“I'm the new neighbor who moved in downstairs.”
“My name is Truong.”
The man said politely.
“Just moved in.”
“So I want to get to know the neighbors.”
"Hello."
“My name is Lam.”
I also politely responded.
“Sorry for bothering you.”
He smiled.
“I live alone.”
“In the future, if there is anything you need help with.”
“Just talk to me.”
"Thank you."
He looked at Tieu Bao behind me.
“Your son is so adorable.”
I'm a bit lost.
“Sorry.”
“I still have some work to do.”
“I won't bother anymore.”
He is very knowledgeable. After speaking, he left. After closing. Mrs. Vuong immediately smiled and said:
“This Tieu Truong looks good.”
“Very polite.”
“Mrs. Wang.”
“Don't think nonsense.”
I blushed a bit.
“When did I think nonsense?”
Mrs. Vuong smiled and narrowed her eyes.
“I am now raising my child alone.”
“You should also think about your own happiness.”
“I feel very good now.”
I shook my head.
“I don't want to think about love anymore.”
“You're still young.”
Ms. Vuong advised.
“It can't be because of a traitor.”
“But lost faith in all men.”
“There are still many good people in this world.”
I did not respond. Continue to be busy packing goods. Ms. Vuong is not wrong. Over a year ago. Someone also introduced the subject to me. But I refused. After Tran Chi Vien's betrayal. I no longer put too much hope in love. Life is busy right now. But very complete. I have a lovely child. Have a stable income. There are friends and neighbors who care. That's enough. A few days later. I met Mr. Truong downstairs. He carries a lot of bags. Maybe just got back from the supermarket. He proactively greeted.
“Mr. Truong.”
"Hello."
I also politely responded.
“You take care of the child alone.”
“Perhaps it's usually not very convenient to go shopping, right?”
he asked.
“Later when I go to the supermarket.”
“Can buy help you.”
“No need to bother me.”
I said quickly.
“I buy most of it online.”
“That's fine.”
He laughed.
“If there's anything you need help with.”
“Just talk to me.”
"Thank you."
After returning home. Mrs. Vuong started talking about it again.
“This Tieu Truong guy is really not bad.”
“Very caring for mother and child.”
“Mrs. Wang.”
“Why do you keep mentioning this?”
I said reluctantly.
“I do it for your own good.”
Mrs. Vuong replied.
“Look.”
“People even proactively offered to buy things for their children.”
“He was just being polite.”
I shook my head.
“Polite?”
Mrs. Vuong burst out laughing.
“Men are polite to women.”
“That's exactly what it means.”
I don't want to continue this topic. Then he focused on playing with Tieu Bao. Tieu Bao is extremely hyperactive. Running around the house all day. His mouth chattered words that only the boy understood.
“Tieu Bao.”
“Come here with mom.”
I opened my arms wide. Tieu Bao chuckled. trotted over. Jump into my lap.
“Mommy loves you.”
I kissed my baby's soft cheek. Tieu Bao replied in an immature voice. Heard that sentence. My heart melted. Having this son is enough. What more do I need? I'm sitting in front of my computer processing orders.
