Eliana was taken aback by Adrian’s words.

She seldom talked about such a serious topic with children.

So, she didn’t expect that a five-year-old child could make such remarks.

Eliana cupped her son’s face and looked him in the eye. In a soft and patient tone, she said, “Adrian, I don’t really want to talk about this with you because it’s a very complicated thing. But it seems important to you so I’ll try to explain it. You see, there are many ways to be good to a person. It also happens that sometimes, we don’t have to be with them.”

Adrian knitted his brows and looked at Eliana perplexedly. “But if you want to be good to a person, shouldn’t you be more honest to him, instead of lying to him? I don’t really understand. Do people act this way when they grow up?” He paused for a while before he added, “Then, I don’t want to grow up…”

Eliana couldn’t believe that such reflective words could come from a little boy. She couldn’t think of anything to refute her son.

Adrian’s words touched her. She could not calm herself down until late at night.

She was thinking that she could be wrong this time.

She wouldn’t want to admit it.
