The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1878

Baber blinked his large eyes and nodded, “Okay!”

Ellinor helped Baber to sit up in his bed and tucked him in before she began to speak, “Baber, what happened today was an accident, and it won’t happen again. You need to remember the lessons learned from this experience, and to be more vigilant in the future. But promise me, don’t let this incident leave a shadow in your heart, okay?”

Ellinor was comforting her son, fearing he might develop post-traumatic stress disorder.

Hearing his mom’s words, Baber pouted, “But… it was so scary… Every time I close my eyes, I see that woman hitting me… Mom, can I be with you every day from now on? Can I never leave you?”

Seeing her once optimistic and sensible son frightened like this, Ellinor felt a pang in her heart. She gently stroked his head, “Silly child, your dad’s back now, so I don’t have to work every day anymore and I can stay home with you and your siblings!”

“Really?” Baber seemed to be comforted at last, relaxing like he’d swallowed a tranquilizer.

Ellinor gently caressed his soft hair, “But, since Baber is still a child, Mom can be with you all the time. But when you grow up, Mom can’t always be with you. You’ll have to be independent. If Mom is with you all the time then, you’ll get annoyed!”
