Mommy 323
Chapter 323 Eugene bit his lip and suddenly felt uneasy with tears bursting out of his eyes. He struggled his little body in Charlie's arms and reached out his hands to Kamryn.
When he cried, he was not as noisy as an ordinary child, but was so quiet, which made people feel sorry for him. Tears dripping down from his eyes fell on the back of Charlie's hand.
Charlie Franco was stunned and immediately opened his eyes.
When he looked down, he saw the pair of red eyes of his son and a face covered with tears.
Startled, Kamryn had no time to care about anything else and hurriedly asked, "What happened, Eugene? Why are you crying? Are you feeling not good?" Eugene bit his lip and refused to speak. His eyes were red from crying, and he kept reaching out to her as if he wanted her to hug him. She tried to take him into her arms without hesitation.
But Charlie extended his hand to stop her. "No, he moves his hands and feet tactlessly or indiscreetly. You can't hug him." Eugene cried even harder. He tried hard to pull apart Charlie's arms and kicked his two little feet back and forth repeatedly on Charlie's lower abdomen.
The more he was like this, the more Charlie dared not let him approach Kamryn, thus the man stepped back slightly. It would be risky if Eugene accidentally stepped on her belly!
Kamryn paused for a moment and then remembered that she was in a special situation now, so it was indeed not suitable for her to hold a child. But when she saw the little boy crying so sadly, she felt as if her heart had been cut by a knife. It was painful and flustered, turning her eyes red. "Eugene, what's wrong? Don't cry, okay?"
She tried to wipe away his tears in a flurry. "Stop struggling!" Afraid that Eugene would kick Kamryn in the stomach, Charlie warned in a cold voice while clasping the kid's legs with his big palm to prevent the kid from kicking wildly, "Mommy is pregnant. Don't move. What if you hurt Mommy?"
The sentence had an immediate effect. Eugene trembled his little body suddenly, too scared to move anymore. He looked at Kamryn with tears, his body curling up slightly and the tears falling down like a broken string of pearls.
Kamryn felt so distressed. Neglecting the risk, she reached out and held the crying and trembling little guy tightly in her arms. She kept kissing his hair and forehead and comforting him softly, "Eugene, don't be afraid. Mommy is here. Don't cry..." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The little boy hurriedly reached out and wrapped his arms around Kamryn's neck, letting his whole
upper body cling to her, refusing to let her go. Kamryn had no choice but to maintain this posture. She patted his tender back while throwing a question sight at Charlie.
What's wrong with the little guy? Why did he become so clingy all of a sudden?' Since learning that she was pregnant, Eugene's heart that used to be open towards her was once again closed due to fear of being abandoned by his mother.
Therefore, it had been a long time since he had been so clingy to her. During the time when she was raising her fetus at home, she had been trying to find ways to get close to him and untie the knot in his heart.
But the ways failed to work. Until some time ago, she accidentally picked up that dog. Perhaps, because it was his first time seeing such a small animal, Eugene's gray eyes showed a rare hint of interest and curiosity. Kamryn suddenly remembered that she had read about it in books before that playing with small animals was good for children's mental health. With the idea of giving it a try, she often let Eugene to play with the dog and encouraged him to interact with it through the glass. Unexpectedly, it really worked!
Eugene was obviously in a better condition than before. And his attitude toward her was no longer numb and evasive, gradually restoring natural and intimate. But... The little boy seemed to have been stimulated by some unknown thing, which pushed him to burst
out with emotions that had been tightly suppressed in his heart all at once. With his little hands wrapped around her neck, he was in floods of tears. Thinking for a moment, Charlie uttered, "Maybe he was frightened by the words you just said."
"What words?" "You said you would leave with the dog and never come back." As soon as Charlie finished speaking, Kamryn could clearly feel that the little boy's grip on her neck tightened. Obviously, he had guessed correctly.
No one knew a son better than his father! She lowered her head in surprise and looked at the little boy who buried himself in her neck, at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. She explained, "I was just joking, Eugene. You don't need to take it seriously!" She had never expected that her casual words would scare Eugene in this way. Perhaps, what he was afraid of the most was that she would leave, abandon him, and no longer love him...
That was why he was scared to cry by her unintentional words. This was not the first time that Eugene acted like this. Kamryn held a complex mood, among which existed a strong sense of guilt. She gave a sign for Charlie to let go, and then sat down on the sofa with Eugene in her arms, comforting in a soft voice, "Eugene, I'm sorry. Mommy didn't mean to say that. I apologize to you, okay?" Eugene curled up in her arms without saying a word and shook his head gently. He didn't want an apology.
Kamryn continued, "Then Mommy promises you that I will never abandon you! Even if Mommy and Daddy have a new baby in the future, you will still be the treasure in our hearts... We will love you forever." Upon hearing these words, Eugene trembled his little body slightly. He carefully raised his head and looked at Kamryn with a pair of red eyes, feeling uneasy and frightened.
Biting his lip, he asked, "Really?" The little boy added stubbornly, "Mommy, you didn't lie to me, did you?" The crying and childish voice sounded like that of nature in Kamryn's ears! She couldn't remember how long it had been since she heard the little boy speak.
Charlie who sat at the side couldn't help but be moved.
"No I didn't. Mommy will never lie to you!" Kamryn was both gratified and distressed. She gently kissed the forehead of Eugene, "Sweetheart, Mommy loves you." Eugene hugged her more tightly. His face was still expressionless, but his tender ears were quietly dyed red.
Looking at the mother and son hugging each other, Charlie put on a smile with bright eyes. He reached out and held them in his arms, as if he was hugging an entire world.
Gentle and cherished. A small family conflict unexpectedly solved the knot in the heart of Eugene by accident.
Kamryn could finally let go of his worries in the past few days, returning to a good mood. Back to the bedroom at night, she lay in bed, still happy and unable to sleep. An idea suddenly came to her mind. Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening and closing, she suddenly sat up from the bed, hugged the quilt, and looked at Charlie who had just taken a shower with her bright eyes.
