Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 860 - 879: The Question of An Jiayou’s Custody
An Nan successfully got distracted by the other party. When talking about her son, she was filled with joy and began to recall some amusing stories.
"You have no idea how naughty that guy was when he was little. Even when he was very young, he knew how to sell candies at school to other kids. As he got older, he was even more reckless at school. I don’t know how many times the school called me in. However, the education abroad is quite different from that at home; while critiquing, teachers often praised him as well..."
An Nan, somewhat exhausted, spoke slowly, yet she couldn’t bear not to speak. She wanted this man to understand her more deeply.
"Did you ever consider leaving him behind back then?" After all, being such a young girl with a child would greatly impact her life.
The man’s question made An Nan resolutely shake her head: "No, no, I never thought about leaving. From the first moment I saw Jiayou, I knew in my heart that I would never leave this child for the rest of my life. Not just because he’s Brother’s child, but more importantly, when he saw me for the first time, he smiled at me — a smile so joyful and pure, not knowing that he would become an orphan without a father or mother from then on."
An Nan’s words were immediately refuted by Lin Mubai: "No, he’s not an orphan. Jiayou has you as his mom."
At this point, An Nan suddenly thought of a question, and her expression became anxious: "Mu Bai, now that Brother is back, will he take Jiayou away?"
By logic, this child belongs to Brother. Back then, when Brother was gone, she took care of him in his place, never thinking Brother would return, never considering the child would leave her side. But now that Jiayou’s dad, her brother, is back, does this mean Jiayou will return to Brother?
Thinking about it, An Nan’s dark eyes became frozen as she lay on the hospital bed, somewhat unwilling to accept the reality she had considered. After all, the child was raised by her bit by bit. Even during nights when he was sick and hospitalized, it was her who helplessly carried him to the hospital, watching him grow bit by bit, learn to read, grow older. Now she was suddenly asked to give the child away, how could she bear it?
An Nan kept thinking, perhaps due to her pregnancy, her emotions were more volatile. Her eyes brimmed with tears again, her whole being helpless, yet she didn’t want to show it too obviously.
Even so, Lin Mubai still obviously noticed. He once again hated himself for being so powerless at the moment. It turned out, Lin Mubai was not an omnipotent man.
However, despite this, he gave the woman he loved a strong guarantee: "Wife, don’t worry, I will definitely not let Jiayou leave you. I will talk to Brother and ask him to leave Jiayou with us. I will treat Jiayou as my own son."
"Thank you."
For a man to take someone else’s son as his own, An Nan knew it was psychologically difficult to accept. But she was willing to trust this man and believed his words were genuine.
"I told you, don’t say thank you."
"No, even between husband and wife, gratitude is necessary."
"Alright, alright, really can’t deal with you."
