Ashley said to Fabio with an apologetic look on her face.
Then, she held Fabio in her arms.
"It's okay, mommy. I know that it's not your fault."
"My good boy."
Today, Ashley was wearing a white dress with a hemline right to her knees. Her fair-skinned calves and forearms were exposed.
On the other hand, Fabio was also in a white T-shirt and black short pants.
Thus, his little arms and legs were also showing like his mother. With the mild fragrance of milk on his body, he was indeed a handsome and adorable boy.
Fabio looked around, yet he found no sign of Andrew, his father. "Mommy, where's Daddy?"
Now, Fabio had finally accepted Andrew as his father. After all, in addition to Andrew's efforts of taking care of his mother, this man had always treated him well.
Ashley's face was still flushed. She didn't know if it was because of the incident earlier. But she was really taken aback by Fabio's question and wasn't sure how to answer.
With a brief thought, she eventually replied, "Ah, your father getting changed. He'll be here soon."
"Okay,"
Fabio replied and continued to find comfort in Ashley's arms.
Well, a mother's arms were always the best.
If his father were here, Fabio wouldn't be able to hug her mother anymore, since she would definitely be in Andrew's arms.
So Fabio was secretly hoping that Andrew could stay in the bathroom longer. This way, he could be in his mommy's arms much longer.
However, his thoughts fell through.
After a while, Fabio himself began to get out of Ashley's arms. He couldn't let his mommy hold him for too long, or else she would get sore arms and wrists.
However, when he was about to do so, he saw the red marks around Ashley's neck by accident. To his innocent eyes, it looked like someone had beaten his mommy.
It ultimately startled Fabio. The red marks saddened him and curiosit
arks? But I didn't find any mosquitoes when I slept next to my brother last night."
Ashley let out a sigh of relief and explained, "That's because Mommy used mosquito repellent liquid in your room when you were sleeping. But last night, Mommy forgot to use it in my room, so I was bitten. I'll be fine in two days. You don't have to worry about me, Fabio."
Finally, Ashley had succeeded in convincing Fabio.
The interruption almost made Fabio forget what he was asking Ashley.
"Mommy, let's go downstairs to have breakfast. You have to drive Richard and me to school shortly after," then Fabio said.
Ashley poked Fabio's nose and looked at him with amusement. "I remember you didn't want to go to kindergarten yesterday. Why are you so eager today?"
"Yesterday was yesterday, today is today. Let's go, Mommy!" Fabio exclaimed with a smile on his face.
"Can you be a good boy and go downstairs first? I will check if your Dad has already finished changing clothes. I'll come down with him later, okay? You go first and have breakfast. Then wait for me for a short while."
The corners of Fabio's mouth twitched a little. He was reluctant to do what his mother had told him. But since it was his mother, he only nodded his little head.
