Considering that Arron was still next to me, I worked hard to restrain my emotions, not wanting him to notice anything unusual.
Rufus was trouble.
Now Laura became another cause for concern, trying to take my kids away from me. I massaged my temples and could feel a headache coming on.
Once again, I regretted coming to the imperial capital city.
Everything was spinning out of control.
Not only could I not return to the border, but Arron and Beryl might also be kept back here.
My mind went to Ian. He hadn’t seen us in so long. He must miss us so much.
Had he been found? I decided to make a phone call tomorrow.
Just then, Arron came to me and gently asked, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”
I hastily hid my dark expression and pasted a bright smile on my face.
Then, I turned around and embraced him.
“Sweetie, do you want to hear a story?”
Arron nodded animatedly, his eyes shining brightly with happiness.
“Yes! I wanna hear a fairy tale!” As he said this, he extended his chubby fingers and stroked my eyebrows.
“Mommy, don’t be angry. Your eyebrows are wrinkled,””
The raging anger in my heart was instantly extinguished by Arron’s soft sweet voice.
I reached out and pinched his soft chubby cheek.
With a smile, I said, “Mommy is not angry. Well…Sweetie, how about going to the garden for a walk? It looks like a lot of stars will be visible tonight. After we come back from watching the stars, mommy will read you a story.”
“Okay! Mommy, you’re the best!”
He reached out and grabbed my hand, rubbing it like a kitten.
My heart softened and I pushed all my negative thoughts aside.
As I calmed down, I pondered for a while.
Maybe Laura had just voiced a thought and didn’t really mean to take Beryl and Arron away from me. She had been of immense assistance to me in these past few years. I couldn’t believe that she would really do something so selfish and cruel to me.
So, there was no need for me to lose my temper just because she loved her grandchildren. I grabbed Arron’s hand and took him to a small garden in front of the palace.
Only a few flowers remained in this season. We were surrounded by trees with yellow and dry leaves, but the view of the night sky was not bad.
Arron was very excited.
Every time I brought him to the garden, he would romp around like a wild horse with no rein. There was a slide in the garden.
Laura knew that Arron came here often, so she had it constructed for him.
Arron ran around and screamed like a lot of other kids were playing with him even when he was alone on the slide.
He was constantly giggling.
Arron was quite similar to Beryl in a few aspects.
Both of them were highly focused when they played and unrestrained when they were having fun.
Sometimes, he was even more adventurous than his sister.
I sat on a nearby bench and observed Arron with a satisfied smile.
The moon shone brightly, and stars were scattered all over the sky.
My mood lifted again because of Arron, and I got a chance to enjoy the beautiful night.
About half an hour later, he emerged from behind the flowering shrubs and ran up to me, out of breath.
“Mommy, let’s go home.”
“Okay.”
With a smile, I smoothed down his hair, which was stuck to his forehead because of his sweat.
“Did you enjoy yourself?”
“Yes.”
Arron nodded and rubbed his belly.
“But mommy, my tummy is growling.”
I grinned, stroked his forehead with my finger, and lifted him into my arms.
“Then let’s go back and have a late night snack.”
After devouring our midnight snack, I played with Arron for a while and read him a few stories.
It was only then that he finally agreed to go to bed.
I placed the book back next to his pillow and waited for him to close his eyes.
