"Auntie, sorry, I really didn't want to lie to you. Sorry… but I really didn't know what to do. "Mommy she, Mommy she is really too scary… Why aren't you Baby's mother instead…"
The child choking on his words made Pei Ge regret why she had not carried out the pretense fully. That way, the child would not notice that she knew the truth and be so depressed.
"Stop crying; auntie isn't blaming you at all and, in fact, likes you a lot. Regardless of the situation, I'd still tell your father about your… mother's problem."
She told the child gently as the pity in her for him grew exponentially. Meanwhile, her impression of Ji Ziming and Qiao Jingyun worsened, especially so for the latter.
They were the child's parents, but they did otherwise!
One neither inquired nor cared about him—truly an incompetent father, and the other did not have any concern for the child and was merely using him.
