Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 3 Waking up

The child's voice brought her back to reality.She blinked quickly, wiped her hands with her hands, tried her best to put on a smiling face, and coaxed the child softly: "Ella is good, mom is fine, you are a good boy, mom is proud of you."

She has never been good at doing this kind of thing, her tone is always floating, and she doesn't sound sincere at all, but the child will not pay attention to this.Seeing Ella's not-so-beautiful little face give her a sunflower-like smile, she was filled with disgust for herself: "God, what was I thinking before. When Meilan died, I was sad. But besides blaming Rhett and watching him go down day by day, what else did I do? Later, I wanted to make up with him, but he ignored me. What did I think? I actually asked God to take Ella away and beautiful Blue back. I keep saying Ella is stupid, but it's not me who is so stupid? Ella is sensible, and I want God to take her away. I don't deserve to be a mother at all. But God forgive me, I think Redemption, I want to be a good mother, I will treat them well, God testifies, from now on I don’t want my children to suffer any harm, absolutely not. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I am willing.”

Seeing his younger sister being favored, Wade seemed a little jealous, but his dignity as a little man did not allow him to ask his mother for caresses like a girl.And to be honest, he didn't get much love from his mother since he was a child.At first it was Mammy who took care of me, then the gentle Aunt Melly, then the kind Father Frank, and then the only Father Rhett who respected himself and regarded himself as a man, even though he always seemed to talk to himself. I was thinking about another boy.

He loves all these people, but the one he loves the most is his mother.Just because he remembered that during the war, bad Yankees came and robbed the house, and Mom let them take everything, but she tried desperately to protect the saber left by his father, whom he had never met, and almost let the Yankees take it. The house burned.

Since then, Wade has firmly believed in the fact that "my mother loves me", even if my mother speaks to me almost impatiently, even if my mother indiscriminately teaches me a lesson after getting into trouble For himself, even if he cannot be a guest at other people's homes because of his mother, it is enough for him to have his mother's deepest love.A child's world is simple, and they don't ask for much.

Seeing Wade's eager expression and awkward movements, Scarlett laughed again, this time for real.

She beckoned Wade to come over and put her arms around him gently, as if she was putting a baby to sleep. She was just about to hum a lullaby, but unfortunately she couldn't.This had never bothered her before, but this time she was a little embarrassed.She could only increase the strength of her arm, as if she was afraid that the child would run away.

Wade was a little embarrassed at first, but then he took it easy and enjoyed it very much.

For a while, he even forgot what he wanted to ask his mother.That incident made him uneasy. After all, Uncle Rhett had a really scary face when he was about to leave, although he tried his best to control it when he was talking to him.

Prissy had been standing at the door with a plate of breakfast for a while, but she was very knowledgeable for a while, and didn't try to spoil the warm scene.In fact, she was intimidated by Miss Scarlett's rare tenderness. She had never been so kind to two children.

Ella was spoiled enough and muttered that she was hungry. Scarlett noticed Prissy's existence. She asked Ella and Prissy to go downstairs for dinner. Wade stayed and said that he wanted to ask his mother something.Although Ella also looked very interested, she didn't want to destroy the sensible image she had finally established in front of her mother, so she obediently went on.

In fact, Scarlett didn't believe that a child could do anything great without telling her behind her sister's back, but Wade's rare serious look made her vaguely feel that things were not that simple.

This time her instincts were right, but Wade's words still caught her off guard.She didn't expect that children's observation skills were so keen, and she was speechless in a hurry.

Wade asked her: "Mom, are you and Uncle Ritter going to separate?"
