Chapter 4: Three years later
In an open penthouse, where the view was clear, if you looked closely, you could see a kid playing around.
"Tobi, come back here! Come here. You better come now!" Rose called, running after a toddler with short legs. Though his legs were short, he ran with energy that no one could believe came from such small legs.
The toddler appeared two to three years old.
"Mommy, I wanna puay... with the ball," Tobi pouted, skipping with his short legs when Rose caught up to him, stopping him from playing and taking the ball away. Rose couldn't refuse her son's innocent eyes, although she knew he was acting cute intentionally. She gave him the ball, placing a hand on his head and rubbing it.
"Ball, yeah!" Tobi wiggled with a big smile, skipping his legs with happiness. His mother gave him the ball. He knew that his mummy loved him so much and would never refuse him the chance to have fun.
Rose gently placed Tobi back on the grass, giving him the freedom to play. It had been three years. Rose sighed, not knowing where this feeling came from. She had finally given birth to her child. Tobi's birth was as tough as Zara said it would be.
In all the nine months of her pregnancy, she felt like living in hell. She could never sleep through the whole night without crying because of the ache in her stomach. Sometimes it made her feel like she should just take some drugs and die with the pregnancy. All those thoughts only came during her agony, only so she could stop feeling the suffering that came like a knife.
"Tobi, I said be careful, or you will get hurt. Don't hurt your fine skin," Rose said with a worried expression, her tone matching her concern as she ran to hold Tobi, who was running with his short legs, going to play with the ball.
Tobi was always enthusiastic. Why wouldn't he be? He was a wolf cub, and wolf cubs are different from human cubs.
Tobi couldn't go a single day without doing some extra exercises.
"Mommy... Tobi has heard. I promise I'll be careful with the ball. Please, can Mummy puay with me?"
