The Villain's Mother

102

Although he was still young, little kids were usually sensitive. He liked his mom, but his mom hadn't liked him. In the past, she wouldn't kiss him, hug him, or play with him.

Song Junggkook put away his smile and patiently explained, "Little Woo, do you know how you were born? It was really hard on your mom when she was pregnant with you. And when you wanted to come out, she was in painful labor for over ten hours before you came out. Dad didn't have to suffer hardship or experience that type of pain. Your mom does like you, but we need to give her more time. Okay?"

There was never a time when Song Jungkook spoke badly about Ruan Lisa in front of their son.

It was because he didn't feel qualified. As a man, he never felt or experienced the hardship of pregnancy and the pain of childbirth. So, on what basis, could he accuse Ruan Lisa of being a bad mother?

Once Little Woo heard these words, he nervously asked, "Is mom still in pain?"

"Dad doesn't know." Song Jungkook paused. "So, you have to be better behaved in the future. Don't make mom angry and don't suspect that she doesn't like you. Okay?"

Little Woo immediately nodded. "Okay!"

Little children always had lots of questions. After a break that only lasted a few minutes, he went back to giving Song Jungkook a hard time again. "Dad, do you think mom likes you?"

On one hand, Song Jungkook felt that it wouldn't be good to honestly answer this question. But, he didn't feel comfortable betraying his conscience and lying to his son.

After over ten seconds of thinking, he could only answer with, "Dad doesn't know."

Little Woo gave his dad a disdainful look. "You're so stupid. You don't even know. I know that mom likes me now, and I know Dad likes me too. Grandpa and grandma like me too."

Song Jungkook humbly accepted the criticism. "Dad really isn't as smart as you in this aspect."

"Do you like mom?" Little Woo tossed him another difficult question.

Song Jungkook covered Little Woo's raised belly with the bath towel. "Question and answer time is over."

"It's not over. Dad, do you like mom?" Little Woo grabbed his hand and stared at him with a pair of inquisitive eyes.

Little Woo looked a lot like his mother. For a moment, Song Jungkook felt as if Ruan Lisa was the one asking him this question.

"... Dad doesn't know."

Little Woo smacked the surface of the water with his chubby hand. "Dad, why don't you know anything?"

Song Jungkook calmly raised his hand and wiped away the water that had splashed onto his face. "Dad is human too. There are times when I don't know things."

Ruan Lisa had no idea that Song Jungkook and Little Woo would have such a conversation. Of course, if Little Woo had tossed that same question to her, she could only answer that she didn't know.

After she had just taken a shower and felt refreshed as she walked out of her bathroom, Song Jungkook brought Little Woo over to her.

Although Little Woo had originally said he would equally divide his time between his parents, by this point, it was obvious that he slept with his mom a lot more. It wouldn't be easy for Ruan Lisa to protest. If she protested too much, it would hurt this chubby kid's feelings. And, it was so easy to want to protect this chubby kid from distress.
