So, even if he was wronged or bullied, he wouldnât tell Cindy, and heâd bear it himself.
Cindy had been working so hard, and he didnât want her to worry or be sad.
This was the first time a reliable man had told him that if he felt wronged, he could speak up.
Morgan was crying, while his mouth moved mushily.
He always thought he didnât need a dad.
He and Cindy had always lived well together.
But at this moment, he suddenly longed for a reliable dad.
When they were bullied, someone who could confidently say, âIf youâve been wronged, tell me.â
âWah â -â Morgan cried out loudly.
Crying so hard he couldnât catch his breath, as if trying to cry out all the grievances over the years.
Cindyâs heart ached as she watched.
If he hadnât been so wronged, how could this child cry like this?
Adrian Zhekovaâs face darkened.
He asked the kid to talk about his grievances, but he didnât expect him to rub his tears and snot all over his clothes.
âItâs him, Arthur Woods. He called me a bastard without a father, and his mom said Cindy didnât have any self-respect and slept with random men to have me. Just because theyâre rich, they want to get me expelled.â Morgan cried out accusingly, not forgetting to complain to Adrian Zhekova.
Nelly Woods suddenly didnât feel good.
She couldnât deny it now.
The headmaster was hanging on a thread, with his heart in his throat.
Just as he was relieved that Morgan hadnât mentioned him, he couldnât relax yet.
Woods family, wants to expel me for Arthur Woods. Wah Morganâs crying became more aggrieved.
Finding a person to confide in at last, Morgan couldnât help but cry uncontrollably.
âCindy is not what they say at all! My Cindy is the best! She was framed back then, but she didnât abandon me, she gave birth to me. Cindy is the best person. They donât deserve to say such things about her!â sobbed Morgan.
âMorgan?â Cindy exclaimed in shock.
How did Morgan know?
She had never told him any of this!
When Morgan was young, he did not realize families should have a father, a mother, and him to be considered complete.
He thought it was normal for it to be just him and Cindy.
Only when he grew older did he realize a family should have a father.
He once asked Cindy, âWhere is my dad?â
Cindy didnât lie to him. She just said that she didnât know and that his father was gone since she was pregnant with him.
Although Morgan did not understand, he knew he couldnât ask any further.
He was afraid it would make Cindy sad.
So, he never asked again.
Cindy never told him how she became pregnant with him.
But now, how did Morgan know?
Morgan sniffed and snuggled into Adrian Zhekovaâs arms, saying, âI overheard you talking to Godmother. I⦠I didnât mean to eavesdropâ¦
With that, Morgan said in a weak voice, âOkay, I admit, I did eavesdrop. I was curious!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cindy didnât know what to say, but now wasnât the time to argue with Morgan about this.
Adrian Zhekova gave Cindy a cryptic look.
Framed?
Adrian Zhekova slightly lowered his eyes, while Morganâs chubby hand was clasping his clothes, âThey donât know anything, and they blame Cindy!â
Adrian Zhekova gently patted Morganâs back and said to the headmaster, âMy opinion is the sameâ between Morgan and Arthur Woods, only one can stay..â
