| would often stop him from eating too much candy, and I'd firmly educate him when he was being willful.

Kids can't tell right from wrong; they just know I frequently put restrictions on him, so it was no surprise he didn't

want to be close toanymore.

That day, Charles took him out for a day of fun. After they got home, Aaron boldly declared, "I don't want you to

be my mom anymore! | want Vanessa to be my mom!"

"You're not worthy of being my mom! Get out! This is my home!"

Doris has askedin private whether it would be alright if she didn't befriend Aaron, as she isn't fond of him.

"Of course, you can," | said, tone flat but a bit curious. "Why don't you like him?"

Doris is a big-hearted child. She rarely expresses dislike for anyone outright. Most of the time, she is just

lukewarm.

"He's hurt you," Doris replied flatly. "You always look sad when you see him."

I was taken aback.

"He knows it makes you sad, yet he keeps showing up in front of you,"

Doris continued, lowering her head a bit glumly. "Can I hit him?"

"| can't take on Charles yet, but | can handle Aaron," Doris thought for a moment. "Mom, can you taketo

children."

| recall the tCharles pointed atand mocked, "Who would love a woman

like you?"

That's not true, Charles.

Grandma Samantha loved me, and Doris loves me.

And now, | love myself.

Charles would sometimes drop by, always arriving looking worn out.

g his meal, he'd pick upel

Aaron and head home.

Neighbors keep asking if Charles is wooing me.

They don't know he is my

ex-husband. They just see a wealthy

bar chasing after a divorced

with a child.

| always laugh and deny it:

"He's not blind; why would he be interested in me?"

"He's just here to pick up his kid, not to court me."

In the past, | would have speculated about the motives behind Charles's actions.

But now, | have no curiosity about him whatsoever.

Whether he comes or goes, | couldn't care less.
