Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 563

Instead of beating around the bush, Curtis said directly, “Carl, I know you’re still little, but I need to tell you about some unfortunate events, and you have to keep calm, okay?”

“Did something really happen to my parents?” Carl asked anxiously.

“Yes.” Curtis nodded.

Curtis told Carl about what had happened after Theodore arrived in Xyperia and their current situation.

Rayna couldn’t bear to hear it, so she quickly turned away.

Carl was in a daze after listening to what Curtis had to say.

“I know this is a lot to take it. I’m sorry.” Curtis caressed Carl’s head. “Jeremy told me they’re going to be fine. It’s just a matter of time before they wake up.”

Carl lowered his head and drenched his cast with tears. “I shouldn’t have let Daddy go there.” While holding back his tears, he asked Curtis, “Mr. Curtis, did they adopt my daddy? Why—”

He sniffled and continued with resentment, “Aren’t parents supposed to love their children? Why did my grandma do that to Daddy? Does a person’s family background matter so much?”

No wonder Mommy has been strict with me. She wants me to be an incredible person and be in control of who I end up with. It’s all because Mommy had gone through a tough time.

Curtis wiped his tears away and answered gently, “As long as you like her and she’s willing to grow with you, family backgrounds don’t matter. What matters is how parents educate their children. Your daddy is Mrs. Xavier’s biological son. In fact, he’s her only son. She also came from a prominent family, so that was why she looked down on your mommy. However, that doesn’t matter anymore. What you need to know is that Mrs. Xavier is still your grandmother. She’s your daddy’s biological mother. Although you have to respect her and be nice to her, you can also disregard her if she doesn’t treat you right.”

“She made my parents suffer! I will never acknowledge her!” Carl fumed.

Curtis smiled. “Your parents are unconscious, but you aren’t alone. Kristie, Jeremy, Wyatt, and I are all here for you. We love you.”

“Okay.” Carl knew he had to stay strong. “I’ll wait for my parents to come back! I must grow stronger and taller so that I can protect my mommy in the future. I can’t let her get bullied by that old woman anymore!”

Curtis could finally breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that Carl had been consoled.

Rayna rolled her eyes at Curtis and grumbled, “Why didn’t you include me? Am I not a human? Do I not love Carl? How could you!”
