Clupter 72
1 panicked and hurriedly wiped away her tears. "Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?"
Willow hugged me tightly and replied, "I shouldn't have ignored you."
Her voice was soft and lovely.
Meanwhile, I stroked her hair gently and said, "But you're only human, so it's normal to feel upset."
While I spoke, I placed her on my lap. Then, I looked into her eyes and asked seriously, "Can you tell Mommy what Zachary said to you
now!
After hesitating for a while, Willow answered, "He said that you only became my mother because you were angry with him.Content is © by .
"When he forgives you, you'll go back to him and continue being his mother. After that, you'll abandon me."
Willow wasn't a person who knew how to differentiate between lies and the truth. As such, she treated Zachary's words seriously... Since she liked me a lot, she would be very sad if I left her one day.
Willow lowered her head and didn't dare to look at me.
But I asked cheerfully, "Is that why you were in a bad mood when you were dismissed from school?"
Willow was too embarrassed to answer my question.
After that, I laughed. "What about now? Do you know the truth now?
She thought for a while and said, "Once I saw your sketches, I realized that you probably love me.
"If you didn't love me, you wouldn't have remembered that I like the color pink.
"Besides, you wouldn't have drawn me as a pink princess in the drawings!"
Willow laughed shyly while she spoke.
"Yes." Since she knew that I loved her, I wouldn't deny it. "Willow..."
Then, I pinched her cheeks, "You saw what I was like when I lived with them. I wasn't happy at all"
Upon hearing that, Willow looked at me, so I continued, "Now that I have stopped living that kind of life, I won't go back for okay?" Willow nodded in response.
I made use of this valuable opportunity and asked her, "Tell me what you learned from this incident, alright?
After thinking about it, Willow frowned and answered tentatively, "I learned..."
Her eyes lit up. "I learned that I shouldn't believe everything that other people say.
This made me pleased. It was difficult for a small child to learn from her experiences.
I answered gently, "That's right.

"For example, if someone says something bad about me, you have to find out my point of view even if you think that they were right.
"So, both of us can communicate with one another and have a clearer understanding of the situation.
"Otherwise, you would ignore me because you believed Zachary's words even though I didn't do anything wrong, like what happened earlier.
"If I was too sad and left you because of that..."
Then, wouldn't our relationship be ruined?
Before I could say that, though, Willow interrupted me in a hurry. "Mommy, you have to stay by my side forever."
1 looked at her affectionately. "Okay"
The latter replied seriously, "I won't believe what others tell
me
in the future."
Her small body was practically draped over mine while she spoke. "Besides, I have to believe what I see and feel most times,
"I can see that Mommy treats me like her own daughter, and I can also feel that Mommy wants to be my mother."
