Youyou had woken up early today to dress himself neatly in suspended trousers, suit shirt, and black tie like a little elegant and polite gentleman of high society .
He even meticulously pinned a stunning crystal brooch on his suit pocket .

“How fast time passes!” The boy smiled and gazed up at her with clear, distinct eyes . “In the blink of an eye, mommy’s now getting married!”
His wise tone amused her to no end; hence, she intentionally teased him . “Son, why are you like a wise, old man despite your young age? From the way you speak, others might think that you’re marrying off your daughter!”

His feelings toward her were complicated; he felt uneasy, generous, and ironically, selfish .
At that moment, the mixed emotions on his face, which seemed to be of desolation, glee, and sorrow, had her wondering what was on the child’s mind .
