Chen Lihua was touched by his words and almost shed tears. She looked into his eyes as she caressed his face and said, “I’m not going anywhere again.”
Liu Longwei still found it difficult that Chen Lihua was back, and was sitting next to him. Chen Lihua saw his lonely gaze and felt sad inside.
She has never seen her husband that way before. She let go of his face and placed his hand on her face.
“You can touch me and see for yourself that I’m real.” Chen Lihua said softly.
Liu Longwei left his hand on her face and gazed into her eyes, then slowly, his gaze moved to her brows, nose, lips, and jaw.
Before he could look further, He felt Chen Lihua’s hands on his face, and before he could reason properly, her lips covered his in a warm kiss.
Chen Lihua kissed him gently for a few seconds before releasing his lips.
“Do you believe me now?.” She asked as she stared at him with a misty gaze.
I believe you.” Liu Longwei replied with his gaze on her.
Chen Lihua asked him to lay in bed and sleep, and he obeyed her. He lay on the bed, and Chen Lihua joined him without asking.
Liu Longwei hugged her under the blanket and they stared at each other.
“Are you happy to be back home?.” Liu Longwei asked. He was still worried that she resented him.
“I am.” Chen Lihua replied and closed her eyes. She wanted him to go back to sleep, so she closed her eyes, so he could do the same.
Not long after Chen Lihua lay in his arms, Liu Longwei shut his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
In the morning around 6 AM, Taio came to his mother’s bedroom to look for his father, because he usually found him there every morning since his mother left.
When Taio walked into the room, he saw his father and another woman lying in his arms. He couldn’t see her face since she was backing him. He felt angry that his father has betrayed his mother.
He was still a child, but he understood what betrayal meant.
Liu Longwei heard the little footsteps and opened his eyes to glance towards the door only to meet his son’s angry gaze.
Liu Longwei was wondering the reason he was acting that way until he glanced at Chen Lihua who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, then he guessed that the little guy must have misunderstood him since he couldn’t see the face of the woman that was laying in his arms.
Seeing his wife after waking up in the morning was a feeling of bliss. His mind was at ease. Remembering that his son has misunderstood him, he immediately explained in a low tone, so as not to disturb Chen Lihua’s sleep.
“Don’t make any noise, your mother is sleeping.”
When the little guy heard that his mother was back, he forgot his father’s reminder and immediately rushed to the bed and climbed onto it.
Liu Longwei felt an incoming headache with how vibrant his son was acting. He may end up waking up his sleeping mother.
Taio got into bed and tried to see the face of the woman lying in bed. He managed to catch a glimpse of that familiar face, he immediately called out in an excited tone, “Mummy!.”
Chen Lihua was still asleep, but she felt she heard her name being called by a little child, and she furrowed her brows.
Liu Longwei was alarmed when he saw that her sleep was disturbed. He immediately shushed Taio, and that made him keep quiet.
Taio glanced at his mother’s furrowed brows and tried to relax them with his little fingers. He was worried she wasn’t sleeping properly, but his actions caused him to disturb her sleep more and at last, she opened her eyes.
Liu Longwei glanced at his stubborn son who refused to listen to him. Now that his mother was back, he wasn’t going to listen to him again.
Chen Lihua met with Liu Longwei’s worried look. She smiled at him and was about to say something to him when she felt a soft pair of hands touch her arm.
“Mummy!.” Taio called out immediately he saw that his mother was awake. He was excited and had to feel for her attention immediately.
Chen Lihua turned around to glance at her son who was gazing at her with a smile. Her face turned bright as she immediately sat up on the bed before pulling him into her arms.
“My Baby has grown so big!.”
Liu Longwei watched them with a smile as the mother and son embraced themselves.
“Mummy I missed you!.” Taio said as he embraced her and lay his head on her chest.
“I missed you so much as well.” Chen Lihua said and left a kiss on his cheek.
“Mummy, you don’t have to go back right?.” Taio asked with his gaze on him. He was worried his mother will have to leave for a long time again.
“No, mummy is not going anywhere. Mummy is sorry for staying away for so long, forgive me.” Chen Lihua said as she placed a hand on his hair and massaged it softly
“Mummy you don’t have to apologize, because daddy you said you went for treatment,” Taio revealed in his cute voice.
“Really?.” Chen Lihua asked as she glanced at her long-forgotten husband.
Since she saw her son, she forgot the existence of her husband, what an irony of life.
Liu Longwei couldn’t feel bad. He has been sleeping with his wife in his arms, so it was his son’s turn to be with his mother.
Taio nodded in his mother’s arms in response.
“Liu Wei, you have to go and take your bath before going downstairs for breakfast, you don’t want to be late for school right?.” Liu Longwei said to him.
“I’m not going to school,” Taio said in his little determined voice as he glanced at his father.
Liu Longwei saw that he was being serious and asked with a frown, “What’s your reason?.”
“I want to stay with mummy, I don’t want to go to school,” Taio replied. He didn’t want to go to school and leave his mother behind, he wanted to stay at home with her all day.. He has missed her presence in his life for far too long.
