We Are Meant To Be novel Chapter 162

Soon Christy Zhong arrived home. Wen made a lunge for her. She held her by the shoulders and looked at her up and down, “Let me see whether you change or not.”

Wen hadn’t seen her for a week. Now she felt very excited. There was even a surprising tone in her voice.

Christy was about to talk with her when she noticed that Justin was staring at her coldly. So she walked to him. “Why aren’t you feel excited when seeing me?”

Why was he so aloof? Christy’s heart ached a little. Was she too neglectful of him?

Life was painful. And at this moment, his expression stung her heart. She squatted in front of him with pains and sadness in her eyes.

Wen noticed her expression. She stopped joking with her and squatted beside him too. She asked concernedly, “What’s wrong with you?”

They had a good time just now. What happened to him now? Did he really have an emotional trauma?

They were just twenty-something. It’s not easy for them to bring up a kid for so many years. But that’s their choice. They should shoulder the responsibility.

Observing that they showed signs of worry, Justin spoke in a calm and sober voice, “That’s how I get along with you, isn’t it? Christy just left for a week. There’s no need to be excited.”

He was right. But Justin was just two years old. He hadn’t seen his mother for a week. And he should feel excited when seeing her again. They began to doubt whether he was mentally and physically healthy.

At this moment, they were bewildered. But they had no idea what they should do next.

Christy stared at him and said with emotion, “But I felt very happy when I saw your face. I really miss you.” She tried to touch him by showing her love.

Wen nodded and added, “I also miss you. So when I went to pick you up, I was really excited and happy.”

Wen and Christy exchanged a glance. They had the same idea. That was to restore his nature as a child with their enthusiasm and passion.

The kid should have been more excited than them. But he was too calm, which made them worry about him.

Justin said with some impatience, “You two old women are so annoying! I just don’t understand why families should stay together every day. You have your work and I need to study. Why are you so childish?”

He made some good points. But they just worried about him, especially Christy. She felt indebted to him.

Christy held Justin’s hand while Wen held the other. They walked to the room.

There’s no rush. If Justin really had an emotional flaw, they would change him little by little. Now they could only accept the truth and show their love for him.

“How’s your weekend? Did you have fun with your aunt Wen?” Christy wanted Justin to talk more.

With enough communication, they could solve any problem. All people knew that. But they rarely communicated with others when something happened.

Wen immediately added, “Tell your mom what we did. You can first tell her what you did at school. Justin is really a wonderful kid!”

Anyway, he was just a kid. Justin began to talk about what happened at school with Christy. He had a lot of fun there, for he was smart and cute. The teachers all liked him and favoured him.

Besides, he enjoyed spending time with Wen. They learned how to paint together. She also taught him addition, subtraction and English alphabet.

Christy gushed with surprise“You’ve learned so many things. It seems that you will be a grown-up soon. You must be very talented, right?”

But Justin said with indifference, “Of course I’ll grow up very quickly. Then I can take good care of you and aunt Wen.”

His words moved them a lot. They brought him up, and he could always give them a feeling of warmth.

“Well. We’ll wait for you to take care of us,” observed Wenw happily.

The atmosphere was better and more friendly. Christy took out two gifts she brought for them. The gift she bought for Wen were cosmetics, while the other for Justin was an electronic picture book.

“Wow! Great. I really like it.” Justin finally smiled and jumped with joy. That’s children’s nature.

Anyway, he was just a kid. Under certain conditions, he would be very excited.

Wen also liked her gift. She said to Christy with tenderness, “Your majesty. You do understand what I want. Thank you!”

“Absolutely!”

They all enjoyed such a moment. There’s no tension in the air and they could relax themselves.

But Justin didn’t want to hear them talk any more. He nodded and exclaimed, “You two really make me very speechless. When can you be more mature?”

He talked in a grown-up manner as if he had been taken care of Wen and Christy.

And they had already been accustomed to such manner. They didn’t get annoyed. “We like talking in this way. When you grow up, you can also find your best friend. Then you can talk with him and show your love for him in this way.”

Alas! What kind of person the kid they brought up would be? Their thoughts and actions were totally incomprehensible.

But soon Christy realized something was wrong. She didn’t want her son to be homosexual. Then she corrected herself. “Ryan. You can’t fall in love with your best friend. You should love a girl, date with her, get married and then have a child. That’s your life.”

Hearing what they said, Justin was a little confused. His teacher never taught him that. Who should he listen to?

To be honest, he didn’t feel like listening to either of them. But in that way, he was at a loss what he should do and how to survive.
