The heart was aching fiercely, wanting desperately to hold this little guy in his arms to comfort him, but he wouldn't allow it.
"Jingxi, be good. Look, you've cried so much that you look like a little kitten. If Mommy knows, she'll be heartbroken." The tone softened a bit.
As soon as he heard "Mommy," the tears started uncontrollably again, welling up in his eyes as if they would overflow any second.
"Boo hoo..."
"Mommy, I want Mommy..."
He suddenly collapsed onto the bed and burst into tears. This time, he wasn't planning to hold back anymore.
Hearing his sobbing, Housekeeper Lin's heart twisted tightly. He realized he had said the wrong thing.
Knowing perfectly well why he was crying, he still said it, silently cursing himself for being too talkative. He absolutely should not have mentioned the little guy's mommy at this moment.
He reached out to pick him up, and this time, because the little guy was crying, he didn't resist and was held in his arms.
