âIâm very sure,â Adrian Zhekova said, âIâm well aware of my own heart.â
Cindy Clarke took a deep breath and said softly, âAs long as you donât change, I wonât change either.â
âThen you wonât have a chance to change, â Adrian Zhekova said confidently.
âIâm telling you all this because I want you to know that weâre going to get married sooner or later, and you and Morgan are my family members. Morgan will definitely call me dad in the future,â Adrian Zhekova said, âSo Iâm not in a hurry, you can tell him when youâre really ready.â
âIâm really ready,â Cindy Clarke said, âSince weâre together, itâs time for Morgan to know. We canât let him call you Uncle forever, can we?â
âEvery time he calls you Uncle, I feel like Iâm letting you down. Youâre obviously his father, but you canât hear him call you dad. In order to take care of my thoughts and feelings, you give the decision-making power to me, and have to endure not being able to recognize him.â
âBesides, since all the elders know about Morganâs relationship with you, when we go to the family mansion on Valentineâs Day, should Morgan think that all the elders are strangers?â Cindy said with a laugh.
âJust like you said, youâre very clear and very sure about your feelings. You said weâre going to get married,â Cindy looked at him seriously, âIn the same way, I trust you too. Youâve kept all the promises youâve made to me. Since weâve met, you havenât broken a single one.â
âSo thereâs no difference between knowing now and knowing later,â Cindy continued, âWe might as well let Morgan know sooner. I think.. it would make him feel more secure.â
âLet him know that he has such a great father like you,â Cindy couldnât help but smile.
âAlthough Iâve tried my best to provide a good living environment for Morgan, it can never replace a fatherâs role. I know Morgan always has some insecurity deep down. Many times, when people only see the two of us, mother and son, they would bully us. Morgan is sensible and sometimes wonât tell me about his grievances. Heâs afraid of causing me trouble, afraid I canât handle it and feel sad.â
âSo, he simply doesnât say anything. Heâs also trying his best, in his own way, to ease the pressure on me. But having a father is different, having you to support him, he can truly relax, not caring about so much. He doesnât have to endure grievances, doesnât have to bend over backwards. He doesnât have to give in everywhere because heâs worried I canât handle it.â
âIn the future, he will have more confidence,â Cindy said softly.
No matter what happens, just do it with confidence. Just remember, Iâm always by your side, whatever happens, Iâll have your back.â
âYou canât tell Morgan that,â Cindy said, feeling the warmth in her heart, and being especially reassured, but also a little worried, âIâm afraid heâll become naughty. Heâs too young and doesnât have a good grasp on moderation. We canât raise him to be lawless.â
After Cindy finished speaking, she saw Adrian Zhekova looking at her quietly without saying anything.
Cindy felt uneasy being stared at and touched her face awkwardly, âWhat are you looking at?â
âIâm looking at how you appear when youâre talking to me about Morgan, itâs like weâre already husband and wife, discussing our childâs education,â Adrian Zhekova joked, âI didnât expect you to have a strict motherly side..â
