Bennett acted like an adult. He held his chin with one hand and pretended to be a thinker. Then, he said seriously, "Mommy, I have thought about it for a long time. I don't like you anymore, and I don't miss you at all!"
Although Bennett was only four years old, one could tell from his cute face that he looked exactly like Braden.
Shirley held back her laughter and asked in a serious tone, "Well, then you don't like me. And you don't miss me at all. Gosh, Ben will never say that. I want my cute and kind Ben back!"
Bennett was speechless.
He frowned and had to give in again.
"Mommy, don't be so childish and naughty. You run to another city alone, and I can't protect you. What if you are bullied? Do you know that I am worried about you?"
Shirley finally realized what Bennett was angry about, and she felt warm.
