Chapter 1086: Chapter 1026: The Little Prince’s Confusion
Dylan temporarily stayed with the Johnson Family.
Adrian’s initial intention was to let Dylan play more with Curly and George, hoping his mood might brighten. However, Curly is still a child, how could she know how to comfort others?
Most of the time, Dylan stayed in his room, and Sienna Johnson was worried he would overthink things, so she spent time guiding him whenever she could.
She even consulted a classmate who is a psychiatrist on how to handle Dylan’s situation.
At the amusement park,
Curly and George were playing wildly, and Lorie Cooper closely followed behind them, afraid they might get lost.
"Melly, could you also keep an eye on them? Don’t let them run around," Sienna Johnson said worriedly to Melly.
"Okay."
Since she found out that Night Owl was still alive, Sienna Johnson had been taking a bodyguard with her whenever she went out; she didn’t want her or her children to become Night Owl’s hostages and be used to threaten Adrian.
Dylan quietly pushed the stroller, staying by Sienna Johnson’s side. Dylan was naturally quiet, and now he was even more silent and withdrawn.
"Dylan, are you thinking about your mom?" Sienna Johnson asked.
"Yes."
"Adults have a lot of stress. It’s like a glass of water; only when the water in the glass is gone can you pour more water into it.
Your mom is like that glass now, filled with water. She is traveling now to empty the glass and refill it with new water.
Dylan, do you understand what Aunt means?"
"Aunt, are you saying my dad is the water that was originally in the glass, and my mom doesn’t want the original water anymore, and is going to empty the glass and put new water in? Is my mom going to find me a new dad?"
Sienna Johnson: ...
"I don’t want a new dad!" Dylan said softly.
"Dylan, although your parents can no longer be husband and wife, they will always be your mom and dad. You will always be their child, and they will always love you. This fact will never change."
"No, my mom abandoned me because she resented me for going to find dad, so she got angry and left me, and went away by herself."
Dylan started wiping his tears again, and his crying tugged at Sienna Johnson’s heart painfully. Now Sienna Johnson understood why that bastard Adrian left Dylan with her.
Sienna Johnson held Dylan in her arms and said, "Dylan, you are afraid your mom will leave you, and your mom is also afraid you will leave her.
Your mom doesn’t want you to see your dad because she has a fear in her heart, perhaps even a resentment towards him. It must be a misunderstanding where your mom thought you wanted to be with your dad and didn’t want her anymore, which led her to travel."
Sienna Johnson gently stroked Dylan’s soft black hair, her voice tenderly soothing him, "In this world, every mother loves her children. Your mom wants you to be happy, so even though she doesn’t want you to leave her, knowing you want to live with your dad, she let go."
"..."
"Dylan, their marriage has come to this point, which is also something they didn’t wish for, so their hearts are filled with pain and trouble that needs to be dealt with. As their precious child, you need to understand your parents’ predicament."
Dylan was very smart, he understood, but still stubbornly asked, "Aunt, why can you and Uncle get back together, but my mom and dad can’t?"
"..."
"Aunt, why aren’t you saying anything?"
The sun shifted, shining on Sheehan’s face, and Sienna Johnson repositioned the stroller to shield his face from the sun.
Sienna Johnson looked at Sheehan’s sleeping face and asked, "Dylan, how many wives do you plan to marry when you grow up?"
"Huh?" Dylan had never thought about this question and didn’t understand why Sienna Johnson asked.
Sienna Johnson said slowly, "Love is very selfish, there can only be two people in the world of love. But your dad has another wife... It’s said she’s pregnant."
"..."
"Dylan, you ask me why Uncle and I could get back together, but your parents can’t. Because Uncle has no other woman besides me, no other children besides Curly and Sheehan."
"..."
"If Uncle had another wife and another child, even if he kneeled before me asking for forgiveness, I wouldn’t forgive him."
Sienna Johnson looked at Dylan seriously, saying, "Dylan, this is the reason."
"..."
"You shouldn’t always resent your mom for insisting on divorcing your dad because your dad was wrong."
"But my grandfather had many wives, and it’s normal for men in Abyanabad to marry many wives."
This is a matter of perception; Sienna Johnson felt she must correct this bad habit in Dylan from a young age.
"There are people in this world who commit murder, robbery, and arson; Dylan, should you also learn to commit murder, robbery, and arson?"
"This..."
"If you say that, then since your dad can find lots of moms for you, why can’t your mom find lots of dads for you?
Dylan, don’t tell me this is your Abyanabad tradition.
In Orienta, there’s a saying: ’Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ It means that what you don’t wish for yourself, don’t impose on others.
Your dad definitely doesn’t want your mom to have many husbands, and similarly, your mom doesn’t want your dad to have many wives."
Sheehan woke up, saw strangers around, and began crying. Sienna Johnson put down Dylan to pick up Sheehan, and seeing Sienna Johnson, Sheehan immediately stopped crying.
Yawning, he rubbed his eyes with his chubby little hands and burrowed into Sienna Johnson’s arms, looking adorable.
"Clinton, stay here with Dylan; I’m going to the restroom."
Sally followed Sienna Johnson to the mother-baby room to feed the child, while Dylan sat there without moving.
Clinton West, being tall and burly, looked at the little prince and said, "Madam is impressive, is articulate; no wonder Sixth Master listens to her so much."
"Uncle Tiger, do you think Aunt is right?"
Clinton West scratched his head and said, "As a man, of course marrying many wives is better, but as a woman, naturally she wouldn’t like a man marrying many wives."
"Then why did Uncle only marry Aunt?"
"Because in Sixth Master’s heart, there’s no one better than Madam."
"Then, if there were someone better than Aunt, would Uncle marry another woman?"
"This..." Clinton West was left speechless by the question.
"Did my dad marry another woman because that woman is better than my mom?"
Clinton West looked at Dylan with a headache, realizing that sometimes a smart child isn’t always a good thing.
Dylan contemplated, murmuring, "According to Aunt’s reasoning, my dad doesn’t love my mom at all."
Being an Abyanabad man, Clinton West really didn’t think it was a big deal for Kiya to marry another wife.
