Thomas felt wronged and wanted to cry. This person was truly bad! He made mom not want him anymore...
"But, if you behave well from now on, you can still be with your mom, play with your little brother, and have your grandma around. Don't you want that?"
He did want that! Nodding his head, Robert finally patted his little head in satisfaction: "So, you have to be good! The first thing is - you have to sleep by yourself from now on! How can a brave young man be afraid of the dark?"
"But you're also afraid of the dark and need to sleep with mom."
Robert couldn't help but laugh: "That's not actually the case."
"Then why's that?"
Looking into the child's innocent eyes, Robert didn't know how to explain it to Thomas. After a while, he said, "Actually, it's not me who's afraid of the dark, but your little brother. He's scared of the dark inside your mom's belly, so both your mom and I need to be by his side to protect him."
