However, this time, most of the Thomson Family members stood on Emma Smith's side.
Finally, Alexander Thomson spoke up: "Thomas Smith."
Thomas raised his head, eyes red from crying. Seeing the child's pitiful state, Alexander couldn't bring himself to scold him. His voice softened involuntarily: "Don't worry, we didn't call you here to abandon you. We just want to ask, both your dad and your mom want you to live with them. If you had to choose, would you go with your dad or stay with your mom?"
Thomas immediately shook his head: "I want my mom!"
Alexander looked at Dylan King: "The child said he wants to stay here. If you want him, shouldn't you ask for his opinion? He's so resolute now, we can't just throw him away and force him upon you, can we?"
Dylan looked at Tommy. This time, he realized that the little boy no longer had that past admiration and intimacy when looking at him; instead, there was a touch of coldness and rejection.
