Embracing The Warmth
Vivian looked at how Leon kept belittling himself every time he spoke to her. She knew how much he felt inferior and how much he yearned for love. So, she told him with tears in her eyes, “If you fight because you’re bullying others, then Mom will always be with you and not let you do bad things. If you fight for self-protection, Mom will get you a tool to help you fight. If you don’t do well in your studies, Mom will also accompany you. Leon. you are not a bad child. Even if you are, I will not dislike you. It’s my responsibility for not teaching you well. I hope that you can become better and better with my company.”
When Leon heard this, he hesitated for a long time before deciding to give himself a chance to embrace the warmth. He lowered his head and said, “I’ll go to S City with you.”
Vivian’s heart was finally at ease. “Ookay! Then you and Mom will go back to the hotel tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the community take your registration book and move it to mine. Then, I will go to the school to help you transfer to another school. We will live together for real in the future!”
Listening to Vivian’s words, for the first time, Leon was full of anticipation for tomorrow.
There were only two sets of clothes in Leon’s house, so there was nothing much to pack. He took his clothes and the small sailboat made of wood by his grandfather in the past and left the shack he had lived in for two years.
Early the next morning, Vivian brought Leon to register for the registration book’s transfer. After it was done, they went to school.
As soon as Vivian appeared, news of how Leon’s Mother came to the school to help him transfer to another school and to take him to live with her immediately spread throughout the school.
On the field, under Dylan’s pressure, David and his two followers held the self-reflective letter that Dylan had asked someone to write overnight and read it in front of the entire school. The morning newspaper also published the public apology of the three people.
When Leon saw this, he felt like he was in a dream.
Was this the feeling of being protected?
Allen ignored the sadness in his heart and smiled happily at his friend.”Leon, remember to write to me when you’re free!”
Leon nodded his head vigorously.
The two of them reluctantly said their final goodbyes.
On the other side, the teacher looked at Vivian, who seemed to be in her early twenties. She still couldn’t believe that she was Leon’s mother, but when she saw the registration book, she had to believe it.
After quickly settling the transfer procedures, Vivian and the rest boarded the plane back to S City at 12 o’clock that day. They arrived at the airport at 4 o’clock. After picking up the car, she returned to the hotel with Leon.
Leon had never left the town. Although he didn’t show it on his face and his actions were calm, he had already carefully observed this bustling city from the corner of his eye. He was very shocked by everything he saw.
When he saw Vivian taking him to the hotel suite, he thought that Vivian had remarried and did not want to bring him home. He was very disappointed.
Vivian thought that Leon’s silence was due to his unfamiliarity with the new place, so she didn’t think much about it.
Leon struggled for a long time. He wanted his mother to stay with him, but he was more worried that his arrival would cause a conflict in Vivian’s family. So, he said to Vivian, who was about to go back to her room to take a shower, “You should go back to your home. Otherwise, he’ll be unhappy.”
“Him?” Vivian asked, puzzled.
Leon didn’t want to mention Vivian’s new family member because it would make him feel like an outsider.
Fortunately, Vivian quickly understood. She ruffled Ryan’s hair and smiled. “He’s not here! There’s only you and me, and the two in my stomach.”
Leon’s eyes lit up.
Vivian said deliberately, “You’re going to have a brother and sister soon. You’re the only man in the family, so you have to take good care of us.”
Leon suppressed the corners of his lips that were curling up and said in a deliberately mature tone, “Don’t worry, leave all the heavy and tiring work to me. I can do it!”
Vivian nodded affirmatively. “I haven’t been in S City for long. Let’s settle things at your new school in the next two days. When the time comes, we’ll buy a new house near your school. It’ll be more convenient for you to go to and from school!”
As Leon looked at Vivian’s plan that focused on him, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. It was a feeling he had never felt before.
