Chapter 646 They Are a Family
Charlie and I exchanged a glance, and the once passionate and ambiguous atmosphere suddenly cooled down, leaving both of us feeling a bit awkward
However, soon after, we exchanged a smile, after all, it sounded like a long-married couple
As long as the child called out, even the most ambiguous atmosphere had to come to an abrupt end
We did not let go of each other's hands but opened the bedroom door together
Outside the door, Meteor was wearing light blue pajamas, holding a pillow, and looking up at me and Charlie with a pitiful expression
"Dad... Mom, I, I want to sleep with you, I just had a nightmare, it was really terrifying!"
He probably just wanted to call out to Charlie, but hesitated for a moment when he saw me, and changed "want to sleep with dad" to "want to sleep with mom and dad"
Before I could even bend down to answer him, in the next moment, Meteor suddenly dropped the pillow in his hand, leaped up, and hugged Charlie's neck tightly, rubbing against his body affectionately, just like a little koala
As for Charlie and me, who had just been holding hands, we were unexpectedly separated due to Meteor's sudden movement
Even if I lost all my memories, I could still see the abnormality of Meteor today
I didn't know what the relationship between the father and son was like, but from my recent observations, Charlie, although gentle and friendly towards Meteor, definitely didn't have a very close father-son relationship with him
Even though Meteor's attitude towards Charlie cannot be described as distant, it is definitely not one that would constantly be playful
Moreover, there were three people in the room at that moment, but he was clinging tightly to Charlie, seemingly acting spoiled towards his father. In reality, it was purely a defensive posture
It's as if I suddenly intruded into this family as an outsider, while he and his father were the ones who had a better relationship as a family
Actually, it wasn't that important to determine
whether the child preferred the father or the mother more among the family of three
During the process of growing up, there are inevitably some emotional changes, especially for boys. When they were young, they were close to their mothers, but as they grew up, they became closer to their fathers. This is not a strange thing
But when such things happened in this household, it inevitably carried some thought-provoking implications
This 1s not my sensitivity, but it is the truth
To be honest, I stood aside at the moment and felt a bit embarrassed
However, I completely understood Meteor
After all, it was me who lost the memory, not
Meteor. I want to start over, but I cannot force him to forget everything from the past
Based on my observation, the former me probably not only disliked Charlie but also may have shown extreme disgust towards our son
Children's hearts are very pure. If you are kind to them, they will definitely like you. On the contrary, if you have done something to hurt them in the past, the defense mechanism in a child's heart is much stronger than adults can imagine
For example, if I had shown disgust towards Meteor before, he would definitely remember it
At this moment, no matter how he rejects me, it 1s very normal
I constantly tried to find reasons in my mind for Meteor's actions, attempting to rationalize the

slight hostility he had towards me
Actually, 1t might not be a bad thing that he was able to show his resistance towards me from his heart
The displeasure that occurred between us before could make him remember it so vividly, which indicated that he was a naive child
Children like this are actually easier to get close to than people who keep everything to themselves. I also believe that I can show enough goodwill towards him in our future interactions, and one day he will accept me
After all, he was the child I gave birth to, and between a biological mother and son, there would never be an insurmountable gap
With these thoughts in mind, my hand
unconsciously covered my own abdomen
Meteor had once merged with me here, flesh and blood. He couldn't choose his own birth, brought into this world by me, but never experienced a mother's love because of my past mistakes. I think I should take responsibility for this and make amends
And Charlie, who was standing by, was clearly taken aback by his son's sudden movement
After Meteor was hung around his neck, his face suddenly changed, as if he instinctively wanted to scold him. However, when he saw my gaze and noticed Meteor looking at him pitifully, his expression became very helpless again. He could only smile apologetically at me
But to be honest, at this moment, I actually felt a sense of relief
