I am unsure if I am single or happy, yet he has been waiting in place, ready to break free at any time to take over my "wrecked" life again.
He must be afraid that if he gets married, the next time he hears about me, he will know I'm not doing well, know I'm all alone, wanting to rekindle our past but restrained by the bonds of family, caught in a dilemma.
Thinking about this, after I bathed my son and coaxed him to sleep, I returned to the living room.
Wennie hadn't slept yet and was looking at the night view from the balcony.
Seeing me come over, Wennie turned back in surprise and said, "So there's a festive atmosphere for the Spring Festival abroad too, it's quite lively."
I nodded, "Yes, Chinese people are everywhere around the world. Those away from home yearn for their homeland and cherish the New Year even more."
"Is my godson asleep?" Wennie asked.
"Yes, he didn't nap much during the day, so this way he sleeps early at night, and I can have some time to myself."
