Chapter 289 Encounter
"That..." Su Lu licked her lips, suddenly feeling a bit nervous, "What if he... if he became the baby’s father?"
Having finally asked the question, Su Lu didn’t feel any sense of relief; instead, her nervousness intensified. Her son was still so young, and she always thought that discussing this matter with him was a cruel thing to do.
So, she had previously preferred to get by on her own.
As she posed the question, Zhao Xiaole’s movements, while playing with his duck toy, abruptly halted. Su Lu was already nervous, and now she pursed her lips even tighter, watching her son intently.
Zhao Xiaole looked back at her seriously, "It depends on whether Mommy likes him or not..."
"If he’s good to the baby, Mommy... will try to like him," Su Lu said.
But Zhao Xiaole didn’t nod. Instead, he shook his head like a little adult, "That’s not the right cause and effect, Grandma told me that Mommy will be happy if she’s with the person she loves. So Grandma said not to rush you to find me a daddy."
Su Lu was taken aback by his words and thought of her mother, her eyes involuntarily welling up with warmth, "Oh, is that so? What else did Grandma say?"
It must have been something Zhao Ying said; otherwise, even though Zhao Xiaole was clever, he couldn’t speak of cause and effect like that.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xiaole continued, "Grandma said that you will be happy and joyful only when you’re with the person who likes you and whom you also like. And if someone likes you, they will naturally treat me well because they like you—it’s cause and effect. It’s because they like you that they are good to me. Not because they’re good to me, you start liking them. That’s wrong..."
Su Lu was stunned; even a child understood this simple truth.
