A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 141

Lily sprained her ankle and feels a bit sore now, so the boy takes her to a nearby lounge chair and gives her his chocolate.

“Chocolate is high in calories, eat more and you will have strength.”

“Thank you.”

Lily takes the chocolate.

She doesn't believe that this is a four-year-old child. He behaves too calm. It is not too much to say he is a teenager in terms of his mental maturity.

“My dad is a soldier. He is great, guarding the frontier!” The little boy's eyes sparkle with pride as he speaks of his father. “He loves me so much and sends me presents every year.”

“A soldier?” whispers Lily, denying the answer in her heart.

Daniel is not a military man, otherwise, how can he spend so much time back in Country Z to help Louis? But how can this little boy be so similar to Daniel?

Is there another brother in Daniel's family?

Well, there are people in the world who look exactly the same. Didn't there ever be a child who looks exactly the same as some big guy when he was a kid? But they don’t have any relationship.

Thinking it over, Lily touches the boy's head and laughs, “You will be better than your father in the future.”

“Of course, I have to protect my mother!” The little boy looks up and says, “I will work hard to make my mother proud of me.”

“Is it just you and mom living together?”

The boy nods. “Yes,” he says, “mother is busy with her work, and the servants take care of me.”

No sooner has the boy finished his words that the phone in his bag rings.

He quickly takes out the phone to answer, and his tone becomes very soft, “Hey, mommy.”

“The teacher didn't come today, so I came out to train myself.”

“I wear a mask.”

“Then I will send the location to you and wait for you to pick me up.”

When the little boy answers the phone, Lily remembers that she has an appointment and is getting late.

“Then you wait here for your mother. I have something to do, so I have to go first.” She says to the little boy.

“Lady, you can ride my mountain bike.” The little boy knows that Lily is in a hurry, so he takes off his helmet and gives it to her. “Ride on the sidewalk; you will get there soon if you ride the mountain bike.”

That mountain bike isn't small and Lily can ride it too.

Lily, thinking that she is pressed for time, nods and says, Then I will borrow your mountain bike. Do you have a WeChat? I will return the mountain bike to you when I am off work.”

“Yes.”

After exchanging the WeChat, Lily leaves with the mountain bike. The boy insists on giving her the helmet.

“Put on the helmet.”

“No, I can't.”

“Try it!”

The helmet looks so small that Lily perfunctorily tries it on and then gives it back to the little boy. Unexpectedly, it fits her, but it is a little tight.

Does she have such a small head?

The little boy grins with knowing, “See, I said you can wear it. Lady, be careful.”

“Well, then let's contact on WeChat!”

In a hurry, Lily pedals off the mountain bike.

The little boy waves to her back, puts on a mask and finds a place to wait for his mother to pick him up.

After a while, a silver car pulls up to the curb.

The back door is pushed open and Stella, dressed in a beige windbreaker, hurries toward the little boy down the steps, scoops him up and smiles tenderly. “Chandler, have you been waiting long?”

“Mommy!”

Chandler wants to take off his mask and kiss her.

Stella shakes her head, her eyes stern, and Chandler is a little disappointed, keeping silently when Stella lifts him into the car.

When they get in the car, Stella rubs his head with a towel, her tone not very good. “Chandler, you can stay at home and play if the teacher is busy. It's dangerous to run out on a rainy day.”

“It wasn't raining when I came out.” Chandler retorts, “You said I can't miss my lessons.”

“It's different under special circumstances.” Mom knows you're smart and can do anything on your own, but the outside world is very complicated.”

“I forgive you this time, but you cannot do this next time, okay?”

Chandler nods unhappily.

“Mom's not busy today. I'll be home with you.” Seeing that he is angry, Stella takes him on her lap, kisses him on the cheek, and asks, “How about making you croissants?”

Chandler is not very happy after hearing that. He just looks at Stella and asks, “Mom, am I disgraced? Why can't I come out or go to the kindergarten?”

Stella kisses his little hand and says softly, “No, you're Mom and Dad's favorite. It’s just that your father’s identity is special, and you will be in danger if you are seen.”'

“And Chandler is so smart. We don't need to go to the kindergarten. When I finish my work, I'll take you to Singapore. You'll love it.”

“Will you come with me?”

Stella, not wanting to lie to him, shakes her head. “No, mommy has to work.”

“Then I won't go! Chandler is a little irritated, angrily says, “You always said that if I study hard, dad will come back, but I am four years old, and I have never seen dad.”

“Your father is on the frontier...”

“Isn't there a holiday?” “Chandler asks, “There are so many festivals a year. Even if he doesn't have any holidays, doesn't he have any holidays every year? But dad never came back once.”

Stella is shocked by Chandler.

She didn't expect her son to be so smart, and she touches his face with relief, her eyes full of pride.

Yeah, this is her and his son. He is smart, of course.

“Chandler, if you want to see Dad, you have to work hard, you know?” Stella gazes at him, saying, “You have to be more powerful than your dad and make everyone fear you.”

Chandler is disappointed when Stella doesn't give him the answer he wants. Chandler says, “Mom, I'm only four. Even if I am very smart, I am still a child and need the love of my parents. I have so much time, why can't I try harder in the future?”

“You can't!” Stella presses his hand, her voice cold.

She could not bear to think of those humiliating moments of the past.

“You can act like a baby in front of me, and be self-willed, but when you have classes, you should study hard. Remember, you can negotiate with others, but you can't let others step on you and trample on your dignity.”

“Chandler, mom is strict for your own good.” Stella touches his face. “When you get older, you'll meet someone you like. Mom wants you to be with someone you like.”

“Mom, don't cry.” When Stella's eyes turn red, Chandler feels panic and wipes her tears, “I don't want daddy anymore. I'll study hard. Don’t cry, mom.”

“Mama didn't cry.” Stella sniffs, trying to force a smile. “Mom promises you that daddy would come back to you this New Year, okay?”

Chandler exults, “Is Dad really coming back?”

“Well, as long as you behave well.” Stella says, “Mom will be very busy these days. Will you be good at home and watch less TV?”

Chandler nods vigorously.
