Let's Get Married

Hearing him say this earnestly, Lily becomes serious, “But Adair has rarely cried since he’s little, and he’s been very optimistic.”

“Children at this stage are usually very optimistic, but his optimism is temporary, not long-lasting.” In many occasions, Rex notices Adair wandering off as if he is thinking about something, which is actually an unconscious behavior. The child is a bit dull.

Lily feels unsettled upon listening to this, and is afraid that it may cause defects in Adair’s character.

“There’re two reasons that may cause this. One is that his family was incomplete, and the lack of presence of his father causes his low self-esteem, a condition that might went unnoticed by the child himself. But others may easily discern it by his fidgeting. Second is his ambiguous understanding of family relations, so he’s sensitive and highly precautious.”

These two reasons speak the truth to Lily. She had been thinking about these issues before, but overall, the child seemed doing okay, so she had not paid too much attention.

Now that Rex mentions it, she is a bit panicked. She fears that the child has character defects because of her own negligence and mistakes. These problems will follow him all the way into adulthood.

Seeing her ever-increasingly anxious expression, Rex looks her in the eyes by the bedside, “You don’t have to worry too much. His problem is not too serious yet. It’s just that he could get better. So, don’t prepare everything for him. I know you just want to compensate for what you couldn’t give him, but it’s not necessarily a good thing.”

For regular families, children will be watched over by grandparents or a babysitter when they are busy. It is normal and Adair should experience it.

“Maybe for the first time, he would be scared staying at home alone, but not the second time, the third time. Only in this way, he would grow up mentally.”

Lily worries too much, “Should we talk to a psychologist?”

“No.” Rex replies with his a serious expression, “You’re back now. I’ll give him what he deserves.”

He says so with a hidden message, which is then conveyed to Lily, but she is unsure how to respond.
