Whisper unintentionally

42.

Kou Yaner sighed, she was in a dilemma.Kou Yaner was caught off guard by Little Button's sudden intervention, and she didn't know how to respond most appropriately.Should I tell Xiao Button right away?Or should I appease her flustered emotions first, and then find an opportunity to talk slowly later?

After hesitating for a moment, Kou Yan'er got up gently, she wanted to turn off the light.

Little Button suddenly turned over, grabbed Kou Yaner's arm desperately, and cried, "Mom, don't go! Mom, don't go!"

Kou Yan'er was startled, retracted her body, and hugged Xiao Button, "Little Button, I won't go, I won't go."

Kou Yan'er felt that Little Button's tears wet the pajamas, and the little body in her arms trembled nervously.

"I'm not leaving. Little Button." Kou Yan'er could only repeat these words to comfort her.

"I don't want you to get a divorce." Little Button said this while sobbing.

Kou Yan'er was speechless and kept silent, resting his chin on the top of the little button's head, and tightened his arms around the little button.

Little Button broke free from her mother's arm, raised her head, and looked at Kou Yan'er tearfully, "Mom, don't get a divorce, okay? I'll be very good, and I won't quarrel with you in the future."

Kou Yaner's words made Kou Yan'er feel guilty and sad, but she had no way out, she couldn't let Xiao Kouzi think about it anymore.

"Little Button, you have always done a good job, you are the best kid." Kou Yaner looked directly at Little Button, although her eyes were already moist, but Kou Yaner knew that she couldn't look away.Kou Yan'er paused, and continued, "It's our adults' fault, not yours, that we want a divorce. You didn't do anything wrong, it was us who were wrong. I'm sorry, little button. The mistakes we made, but we have to You bear the pain, sorry."

Button was obviously confused. "Mom, you know you're wrong, why do you want a divorce?" Little Button wiped away tears.Maybe she saw a glimmer of hope.

Although it was very difficult, Kou Yaner decided to try to explain the meaning of divorce to Xiao Button.

"I'll go get some drinks, okay?" Kou Yan'er needed to calm down the emotions of the two of them first.

Kou Yan'er got out of bed and brought Little Button a can of Coke she liked.In normal times, Coca-Cola is a drink strictly controlled by Kou Yaner.But now, she brought a Coke.Sometimes sweet water has a strong soothing effect on people, especially children.

The two of them sat on the bed, each with a glass of Coke, the slight popping sound of bubbles, the irritating sweetness flowing into the throat, and the constant belching from the stomach, which eased the little button down.Tears still remained on Yuanyuan's little face, but the look in her eyes had lost the panic she had just now, and she had regained a little anger.

Kou Yan'er wanted to explain the complicated matter of divorce to her in a language that Xiao Button could understand.

"We first see life as a long journey. Everyone will choose their own path. Then, your dad and I met on the road, so we agreed to travel together. But slowly, there is a relationship between us. For example, one walks fast and the other walks slowly, one wants to build a car, and the other wants to walk. Another example is that everyone’s favorite scenery is different, one wants to see the mountains, and the other wants to see the sea. Even the destinations we want to go are different. When we couldn’t reach a consensus, we had to choose to separate and go our own way.” Kou Yan’er originally wanted to add “to find like-minded partners.” But she didn’t say, she I don't want to be extravagant.

"Little button, so it's not your fault that we broke up, it's our fault. We made a wrong judgment at the time, and we couldn't find a solution to the problem afterwards."

Little Button frowned, looking at Kou Yan'er half understanding.

Kou Yan'er combed the little button's messy sleeping hair with her fingers.

"Little button, you will grow up soon, and when you become an adult, you will leave us too, because your speed is different from ours, the scenery you want to see is different, the place you want to go is different, you You will find your own partner. This is how life is. Now that you are still young, you need adults to take care of you, so you have to choose to go with your mother or with your father."

Little Button instinctively reached out and grabbed Kou Yaner's arm.She immediately tensed up.

"Little Button, don't be afraid. Your father and I like you the most. No matter who you choose, we will take good care of you. But," Kou Yan'er stared into Little Button's eyes, and held Little Button's little hand, "I I hope you can choose me."
