As I left the office building and passed by the store, I looked at the toy car in the window and felt a bit dazed.

This toy car, An'an had liked it for a long time.

But Zhou Fuchuan never allowed it.

He always said sternly that such good-looking but impractical things have no meaning for a man's growth.

But now, just because Qianqian wanted it, he spent money without blinking an eye. Even if he spent half a month's salary to buy a Barbie doll, he had no complaints.

Although An'an understood and said nothing, I knew he was very envious.

But even so, An'an never blamed him for being biased.

The next day, I took all my savings in my pocket and arrived at the entrance of the Friendship Store.

Before leaving, I wanted to fulfill this wish for An'an.

The shop assistant saw me and greeted me warmly, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Zhou's wife? Here to buy something?"

"Mr. Zhou was here a while ago buying a silk scarf for you, and some imported toys. Imported things are quite expensive."

"Your husband really has nothing to say about you and the kid!"

Listening to the shop assistant's words, I gave a bitter smile.

Zhou Fuchuan wasn't buying for me and our son; those were for his first love and her daughter.

I pointed to the electric toy car in the window and asked her to wrap it up.

The shop assistant seemed a bit surprised. "Didn't Mr. Zhou already buy one? Could it be..."

Suddenly, she realized something.

She immediately shut her mouth, and her eyes were filled with sympathy when she looked at me again.

At this moment, Zhou Fuchuan walked into the store with a little girl on his shoulder, accompanied by a beautiful long-haired woman.

When he saw me, the smile on his face vanished without a trace, and he immediately put the child down.

"Fang Ruo? What are you doing here?"

Noticing that I was looking at them, he proactively explained, "Qianqian got a small red flower as a reward from her kindergarten teacher, so I brought her here to buy a gift."

While speaking, Zhou Fuchuan kept looking at me with a nervous gaze.

On a normal day, I might have already started yelling at him, questioning whether he ever considered me and An'an.

But now, I just smiled faintly, "I see."

Zhou Fuchuan was stunned, a bit surprised by my calm demeanor today.

After speaking, I turned and walked out.

But Zhou Fuchuan grabbed my arm.

"Tonight, I'll go home. I'll go with you to the clinic to see An'an."

I didn't reply, just carried the toy out of his sight and arrived alone in front of An'an's grave.

I struck a match, and the flickering sparks consumed the toy car.

An'an, let this gift, filled with your mother's love, take her place in accompanying you.
