Chapter 106 – The Human Child
Sansa Ran knew Dean Lan was Jeffrey’s father and had no reason of his own to stop him from not seeing his child. “Okay, I’ll go back and get him.”
Dean Lan wiped his hands casually on his apron and said, “I’ll call Uncle Zhang and he’ll send you back.”
“Good.” Sansa Ran finished and went upstairs to get down the bag, and the driver, Uncle Zhang, was already waiting at the door.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Dean Lan put Sansa Ran in the car and went back to the kitchen to cook the lunch.
And the driver, Uncle Zhang, dropped Sansa Ran off downstairs, “Ms. Ran, it’s here.”
Sansa Ran said as she opened the car door, “Uncle Zhang, just wait for me here! I’m going up and will be down in a minute.”
“Okay, see you later take your time.” Uncle Zhang said with politeness.
Jeffrey was sitting on the couch watching TV, changing channels one after another, but he kept thinking about whether his mom and dad were together or not. Looking at the children’s cell phone placed aside hesitantly want to call, but afraid to disturb their own father and mother’s duo world.
Jeffrey finally hesitated to dial Dean Lan’s number.
Dean Lan listened to the phone that had just been placed in the living room ring, washed his hands and came out to answer it, a little surprised to see it was Jeffrey. “Jeffrey, what do you want with Dad?”
Jeffrey beamed and pouted, “Daddy, where’s Mommy?”
“Your mom went back to pick you up, and later let you try dad’s hand.”
Jeffrey heart has always had that expectation, want to know the results anxiously asked: “Dad, how did you and Mom last night ah?”
Jeffrey’s words made Dean Lan think of last night, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved up and said with a smile, “Your mother and I were fine last night, were you scared of being home alone last night?”
Jeffrey said with the innocence of a child, “I’m a man, I’m not afraid. Dad, when will you really be with mommy! I want you to live together like you used to, with dad, mom, and me and Justin at home.”
Dean Lan inclined his head to look at the fire that was still burning in that kitchen and hurried over to take a spatula and turn the contents of the pot. “That would be something to ask your mother.”
And by this time Sansa Ran had arrived at the door and was using the key to open the door, while saying, “Jeffrey’s mom is back, did you miss mommy?”
Jeffrey heard the voice anxiously said, “Dad we do not talk about it, Mom is back, I will help you ask later.”
Dean Lan was hung up before he could answer.
Sansa Ran opened the door and looked at Jeffrey sitting upright on the couch feeling that something was wrong, “Jeffrey you tell mommy, did you do something bad?”
Jeffrey looked at Sansa Ran’s worried look and said, “Mom, I was so scared when you weren’t here last night.”
When Sansa Ran heard that Jeffrey was scared, she immediately took her in her arms and said, “Jeffrey, don’t be afraid, mommy is here.”
Jeffrey pouted in Sansa Ran’s arms and said, “Mom, when are you and Dad getting married?”
Sansa Ran looked Jeffrey straight in the eye and said, “Why should I marry him?” Jeffrey, your father and I are not the same kind of people.”
Jeffrey heard Sansa Ran’s words and retorted defiantly, “Why can’t you marry your dad? You’re my mom and he’s my dad and they should be together.”
Sansa Ran feels helpless about the idea of a small child, “He is your father and I am your mother. But there is no affection between him and me, so he and I can’t get married.”
The world of children is paranoid, and Jeffrey, wanting nothing more than to have a complete family, said angrily, “Then why do other people’s moms and dads get to be together?”
Sansa Ran felt a headache and held her forehead, then explained, “Because other people’s moms and dads don’t have feelings.”
Sansa Ran’s words made Jeffrey feel very lost and thinking of his dad’s words the League said, “You and my dad have feelings too! How were you and Dad last night?”
Sansa Ran gently pinched Jeffrey’s little nose at Jeffrey’s childish question, “Why do you think so much, you child? Last night it was just because your father was drunk and I took care of him, there are some things that you, a child, don’t understand.”
Jeffrey defiantly bristled and said, “I don’t believe it. After Dad hung up the phone at the back, I couldn’t get through.”
Sansa Ran blushed as she thought of Dean Lan’s forced kiss last night, but still patted Jeffrey’s hand and said, “You’re a kid who thinks about things, it’s just that mommy’s phone was off last night when the battery died.”
Jeffrey said next to me in disbelief, “I don’t believe it, mom you’re a big liar, look at your red face.”
Sansa Ran hastily covered her face and changed the subject, “That’s because your mom and I are hot. Okay, stop it, your father asked me to pick you up for dinner, hurry up and get changed, mom is waiting for you here.”
Jeffrey looked at Sansa Ran’s red face and knew that his father had made new progress, and was secretly happy for them, jumping in his slippers and heading for the bedroom to change.
And that’s when Sansa Ran suddenly called out to Jeffrey and went over and squatted down and said seriously, “Jeffrey mommy told you that there are things that don’t need a little kid like you to worry about, we adults know our own business.”
“Oh.” Jeffrey answered Sansa Ran perfunctorily, but in his heart, he complained that Sansa Ran was stupid not to know what was in Dean Lan’s mind.
Sansa Ran followed Jeffrey into the bedroom with some uneasiness and asked, “Jeffrey which one do you want to wear? Mommy will get it for you.”
Jeffrey sat on the edge of the bed and pointed to the dress that was hanging in the closet and said, “I’m going to wear that one, the one that followed you and Dad to the amusement park last time.”
Sansa Ran shook her head helplessly at Jeffrey’s childishness and said, “Okay, Jeffrey will wear that one today while you wait for mommy to get it for you.”
Sansa Ran helped Jeffrey find all the clothes and put them on the bed, saying, “Jeffrey is the man, get yourself dressed while mommy waits for you outside.”
Jeffrey nodded, and Sansa Ran went out and changed her clothes in silence by herself.
Sansa Ran waited for Jeffrey at the door, and after a few minutes Jeffrey finally came out. sansa Ran reached out and took her by the hand and said, “Come on! Mommy will take you to Daddy’s.”
Jeffrey pulled Sansa Ran and jumped down the stairs.
The driver, Uncle Zhang, saw them from a long distance and diligently got out of the car to open the back door. “Ms. Ran, young gongzi you are here.”
Sansa Ran faced Uncle Zhang’s open car door and said politely, “Thank you, Uncle Zhang.”
Sansa Ran and Jeffrey got into the car and Uncle Zhang drove towards Dean Lan’s villa.
