Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife Chapter 1605 - Ten Miles of a Spring Breeze Couldn’t Be Compared to You (Part Seven)

“When Xiaojiao is all grown up.” Su Yue wiped the tears off Xiaojiao’s eyelashes.

Xiaojiao used her small hands to wipe away her tears. She nodded obediently. “Okay.”

Su Yue’s eyes began to sting. She closed her eyes and rested her forehead on Xiaojiao’s. She gritted her teeth and dared not to make a sound.

Daddy won’t be coming back forever…

How was she supposed to tell Xiaojiao this harsh truth?

Tears formed at the corner of her eyes.

“Mommy don’t cry.” Su Xiaojiao extended her hand and carefully wiped away Su Yue’s tears with her soft palm. “Xiaojiao will grow up quickly.”

She would grow up quickly, so Daddy would come back. Then Mommy won’t cry anymore.

Su Yue nodded and hugged her neck. “Xiaojiao, you’re a good girl.”

‘Jiao Chen, you were the one who raised her to be such a well-behaved girl. How could you bear to…

‘How could you bear to leave just like that?’

The house that they had lived in for four years was filled with memories of a family of three.

It had been almost half a month, but it still felt like Jiao Chen was there. Su Yue cooked three dishes and a soup for dinner. She placed two bowls and chopsticks on the table.

The warm light shone onto the table and it created a warm and blissful atmosphere.

“I learned a new dish today—your favorite pork with bamboo shoots. Try it.” Su Yue used her chopsticks to place some pork into his bowl.

Jiao Chen picked up one slice of bamboo shoot and stuffed it into his mouth. He lowered his head and slowly chewed on the food. There was a faint smile on his face.

Su Yue eagerly asked, “How is it? How does it taste?”

Jiao Chen looked at her and pressed his lips. “99 marks.”

“Oh…” Su Yue pouted. “But I followed the online recipe exactly.”

What she meant was, 99 marks were not good enough. She should have gotten full marks!

She lowered her head and stuffed some into her mouth.

“You’re always getting full marks.”

Jiao Chen suddenly said in his gentle and melodious voice. Su Yue blinked in confusion. “What?”

She was still sulking so she wasn’t paying attention to his words.

Jiao Chen smiled. “Let’s eat.”

“Alright.” Su Yue smiled back and placed more food into his bowl. “You’ve lost weight recently. Eat more.”

“Mommy.”

Xiaojiao suddenly called from beside her.

Su Yue broke out of her reverie and looked opposite her. The seat was empty, but the bowl was piled with food.

Her eyes turned red, and she placed down her chopsticks. She buried her head in her hands, gritting her teeth as she looked away from Xiaojiao so that she couldn’t see her.

‘You’re always getting full marks…’ She finally realized what he meant: she was full marks in his eyes.

She started sobbing silently.

Why did she have to approach him back then? If it wasn’t for her, he wouldn’t have died.

He would still be the cheerful and eye-catching Jiao Chen.

The boy with a bright future ahead of him.

“Mommy.”

Su Xiaojiao tugged her sleeve gently.

Su Xiaojiao hurriedly wiped away her tears. Then she turned to look at Xiaojiao with a smile. She patted her shoulders and said, “Xiaojiao, eat.”

Xiaojiao nodded. “Mommy eat too.”

Then she scooped up a prawn with her small spoon and placed it into Su Yue’s bowl. “Mommy eat more, gain weight.”

“Okay.” Su Yue choked out a response.

The more well-behaved Xiaojiao was, the more she was reminded of Jiao Chen.
