“I am in love with someone,” Corinne answered, “and that’s why I can’t fall in love with
other people.”
Christine asked curiously, “Then who are you in love with? Where is he? Why isn’t he here
with you?”
Corinne was speechless. Every child had their own endless set of questions for adults. She
would never answer that if someone else posed such a question to her, but she could not
do the same to her daughter.
“The person I’m in love with can’t come back for now,” Corinne said helplessly, “but once
he’s back, I’ll have someone to love!”
Christine asked again, “Is that person Daddy?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorinne was taken aback and nodded earnestly. “Yes. It’s Daddy.”
Christine pouted. “But I don’t like Daddy!”
The little girl’s response startled Corinne. “Why do you feel that way when you haven’t
even met him before?”
Christine huffed. “That’s why I don’t like him! The prince will always show up and save the
princess when she needs him the most! He’ll also fight dragons to protect her! But Daddy
has never shown up for you! He doesn’t like you, so I don’t like him either!”
A child’s logic can be amusing at times, but on that occasion, Corinne was made to feel a
little sad. “Before you were born, he always showed up when I needed him the most,”
Corinne said with the utmost sincerity.
Christine was puzzled. “Then why didn’t he disappear after we were born? Does that mean
he hates us?”
Corinne shook her head. “Not at all! He is caught up with something and can’t come back
yet, but trust me when I say that he’ll come back one day. You’ll like him, too.”
Christine pouted, showing some resentment. “But you always hug your pillow when you’re
sad at night, and he’s never around to comfort you…”
Corinne did not expect her three-year-old daughter to be so empathetic with her emotions.
She felt touched and forced a smile as she said, “There are times when everyone will feel
sad. It’s normal. Your father also had his share of difficult moments when I wasn’t with
him. Christine, I don’t want you to worry about all these things at such a young age, and I
wouldn’t want you to think badly of your father too. He’ll overcome all his obstacles
someday, and we’ll be reunited as a family again. I’m sure of it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChristine gazed into Corinne’s determined eyes and threw herself into Corinne’s arms. “I
hope you’ll be happy even when Daddy isn’t around!”
“I will,” Corinne smiled.
Francine and Chester returned after Corinne finished her heart-to-heart conversation with
Christine.
Corinne stood up and asked, “How did it go? Did you find any vendors selling kites?”
Francine blushed slightly because she was still holding Chester’s hands. She shook her
head and said, “Chester and I searched everywhere, but we didn’t find any vendors selling
kites. The person probably brought it from home.”
Corinne sighed and turned to Bryan, saying, “There aren’t any vendors selling kites here,
but I’ll buy it for you online once we get home. Is that okay?”
Bryan lowered his head in disappointment and muttered, “Okay…”
Since he could not get the kite at that moment, he decided to meet the kite’s owner.
