Upon hearing Elly's voice, William suddenly lifted his head, and the next second, he dropped the building blocks in his hand and rushed into Elly's arms, his chubby arms tightly embracing her neck, refusing to let go.
Elly's eyes instantly reddened.
At that moment, she realized that she was not a qualified mother. Aside from giving birth to William, she had always left him in the care of a nanny due to her work.
She had never heard him complain, and he was so sensible, like a little adult, that she thought he didn't need any worrying over like a grown-up.
But he was just a three-year-old child, a child who needed his mommy by his side. How could she have been so neglectful to not even be concerned about this?
In that moment, Elly's heart was filled with both heartache and guilt, and she hugged William even tighter.
William didn't speak, just hugging Elly tightly and burying his head in her embrace, silent.
