Learning to Love Again

From the window of his room, he stares intently at everything going on outside the gate of his house.

His small face is resting in his hands. His tiny arms, which are supporting his frame, lean on the window sill. His bright green eyes are filled with confusion. Yet he continues to watch the scene outside unfold.

His head is filled with questions, but he doesn't look away.

Why does that man look so much like him?

He even hugged his mommy and gave her flowers. Why?

Who did he bring all the toys for?

"Micheal, do you want a snack?" Stephanie walks in on Su Yichen staring out the window. "What are you looking at is your mommy back already?"

She stands beside him wanting to pick him up but nearly faints at what she sees.

A man is tightly embracing her beloved granddaughter right in front of her great baby grandson's eyes.

"Heavens."

She exclaims before hurriedly pulling the little boy away from the window. "Let's go watch some T.V. and eat some cookies. I just baked them so they're nice and fresh."

Su Yichen obediently follows Stephanie out, but while walking, he keeps glancing back at the window.

Is that man who he thinks he is?

Does he really have a daddy like everyone else at school?

If so, then how come he isn't with them and how come he never protects his mommy?

...

"Han Yuan, stop saying nonsense." Su Lian pulls herself out of his embrace and turns to face her brother.

She was grateful for his timely appearance. If he didn't try to hit Han Yuan just now, then she would have lost herself.

She can't help but feel disappointed. Is this how weak her willpower is?

"He is a person that I used to know, but now, he is no longer relevant."

'So he is one of those crazed stalkers.' Su Qiong nods his head in understanding.

"Do you need me to call the police?"

Han Yuan's expression darkens.

He came all the way here to surprise her and yet she's introducing him to his brother-in-law as someone who is no longer relevant.

"There's no need, he is just about to leave." Su Lian tries to walk back into her car, but her arm gets dragged by him.

"You should at least take the toys to your son." His eyes are filled with anticipation, his voice pleading.

Su Lian quickly looks away from his face before he traps her soul again. "You- I mean- you should leave."

"If you don't take the gifts for our son, then I won't leave." Han Yuan does not give up so she reluctantly agrees.

Two servants arrive after being called and carry all the toys inside the villa.

Once the last toy was put inside and Su Lian had the roses in her hands, Han Yuan puts on a smile of satisfaction. "See it wasn't so hard was it?"

He softly kisses the top of her forehead before she can react and enters his car to leave. "I'll come and visit you again tomorrow."

Su Qiong is completely speechless and just quietly follows his sister inside.

In the living room, an elderly woman and tiny toddler quietly munch on cookies while they watch a cartoon.

Su Qiong immediately assumes that they are his grandmother and nephew.

Before he can greet them, the little boy turns to look at him. They make eye contact and Su Qiong feels stupefied.

Why on earth does the child look like the perverted stalker from just a moment ago?

Don't tell him...
