He was almost hysterical and tried to break free from his father's grip.
Huo Jinyan was really angry.
She pulled him hard and yelled, "Huo Haowen, are you crazy? It's raining so hard now, you're going to die? Come back with me, I won't let you go find her."
"No, I'm going to go. I want her back."
He is usually a reserved guy who is not very good at expressing his emotions.
No needs are expressed.
I will never expose my inner feelings completely like I do now.
He could go crazy and go to look for his stepmother in the rain in the middle of the night. I guess he had completely accepted his stepmother in his heart.
For him, it is really not easy to trust someone so much.
Huo Jinyan had never seen a child lose control like this before, and seeing him collapse like this, his heart ached.
He felt even more guilty because he had not taken good care of the child's feelings and he was wrong.
He softened his attitude and said softly, "Haowen, don't bother her. She has her own life she wants to live. No girl is willing to marry an old man who has been married for a while, and no one is willing to be someone's stepmother."
This is very realistic.
It's also cruel to children.
Huo Haowen gradually calmed down.
He looked at his father in disbelief. He really didn't expect his father to say such a thing.
So, Dad feels that their family is a burden in the eyes of the stepmother, right?
But since the stepmother doesn't like being a stepmother, why should she be nice to him and his sister?
How could this happen!
Huo Jinyan sighed: "She is still young and has her own ideas. We can't restrain her and cut off her wings in the name of love. That would be too selfish."
"Haowen, I know you don't understand these principles yet, but you just need to know that if you want to be good to someone, you have to respect her opinions instead of tying her up by your side, okay?"
Huo Haowen's shoulders slumped and he immediately felt deflated.
He understood. How could he not understand what his father meant?
All he is thinking about now is trying to gain benefits for himself from his own perspective.
For example, he is greedy for his stepmother's kindness to him and the happy atmosphere in the house.
But the stepmother may not think so.
The stepmother likes freedom, wants to go far away, and wants to live the life she wants.
Life is indeed not perfect.
"Dad, I get it. I'm not selfish. I don't want her to come back, but I just want to see her. I want to see where she lives and whether she's doing well. Can you take me to see her? If I don't see her, I can just take a sneak peek."
This reasonable request can certainly be met.
Huo Jinyan drove and took Huo Haowen to the city overnight.
The car stopped downstairs of the small building, and Huo Jinyan pointed to the house with a locust tree in front of the door.
"She lives there now."
Huo Haowen looked in the direction his father's hand was pointing. The small building was hidden in the darkness, and its outline was no longer clear.
It was also pitch black inside, so I guess my stepmother had already gone to bed.
This place is not bad, much better than the military compound.
He should be happy for his stepmother.
"Dad, I understand. Let's go back!" he said calmly.
Huo Jinyan said nothing more and drove away.
Jiang Mengning was awakened from her dream and lay on the bed, gasping for breath to calm herself down.
The rain outside had slowed down a bit, and she suddenly heard the sound of a car engine.
She was very familiar with this whistle sound.
I inexplicably felt that it would be Huo Jinyan.
My heartbeat suddenly accelerated, I stood up, opened the window and looked out.
There were only a few dim street lights on the street.
A flash of light appeared at the end of the street and then disappeared.
It looked like the light from a car's taillights.
Jiang Mengning was puzzled: "Isn't it Huo Jinyan?"
I felt quite disappointed. Didn't the stinky man say he would come climb the window? Why didn't he come?
See, he definitely held back.
Haha, you deserve to be single!
He closed the window in a huff and lay back down on the bed.
In the second half of the night, I never dreamed of the original owner again.
