Meeting You Was Fate

Adrian had finished his breakfast, which Mandy fed him. Her eyes were red as she fed her son. Since Mandy returned from America, she noticed that Adrian had grown taller. She blamed herself and thought that she had been a bad mother to Adrian.

Mandy felt guilty at the thought.

Looking at the apathetic kid in front of her, Mandy felt like her heart was being pierced. Adrian had gone through so many bad things. She didn't know what would happen this time around.

As a mother, Mandy felt like a failure.

Instead of staying with her son when he needed her the most, she chose to escape. Mandy thought that she was a selfish person for doing that. Back then, she only cared about herself and protecting herself from being hurt. However, her actions had hurt both Nathan and Adrian.

"Why are you crying again, Mom?" Adrian asked, confused. In the past two days, she had been trying to hide her tears from him. As a child, she knew that Adrian would be curious about her, but no matter how many times he asked, she always assured him that she was okay.

That day, Adrian wished that he could become an adult in a blink of an eye. That way, Mandy wouldn't have to worry about him anymore.

"I'm fine. I wasn't crying. My eyes are just irritated," Mandy assured him as she raised her head and wiped her tears cautiously.

Upon hearing her explanation, Adrian looked at Mandy suspiciously. He wasn't sure if she was lying. When he looked at her, he noticed that she would always avoid eye contact. That was unusual for him.
