The more painful it is, the clearer the shadow becomes!

The more painful it is, the more vivid the shadow becomes!

For a moment, it seemed that Cynthia's mother had suffered for the past fourteen years felt the same way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It feels like falling into a deep dark well that can never reach the bottom, and the eyes and hands are still trying in vain to grasp the circle of light directly above......

Hughes deeply felt the silent despair, and he suddenly thought that perhaps, the circle of light that Cynthia's mother wanted to reach out and grasp was himself, the only breath of life in his body that came from her!

When this reason was found, Hughes's troubled heart gradually calmed down, and he tried to open his mouth, but found that the corners of his mouth were bitter and salty, which was the remnant of the heartache after the tears had drained.

At this moment, the words of his mother, which Nalco had relayed to him at some point, were like a kind of nourishment, giving Hughes sufficient strength to the reason he had found for himself. The seeds of that affection grew rapidly in a short period of time, stretched out their branches, and then crawled all over the heart.

There was only one voice left in his chest: "Then, let me have another mother!"

So, with the words when he passed by Nalco's side, that sentence that made him extremely pleased.

When Theseus came out of the bedroom and saw Madame whimpering on her knees, he walked over gently, knelt down gently, stretched out his hands, put his arms around Madame's neck, and leaned his face against Madame's side.

When her fingertips touched Madame, she was startled, and as soon as she looked up, she saw that Hughes was looking at her with tears in his eyes. She couldn't believe it, she couldn't believe what was happening in front of her, or rather, she couldn't believe that happiness had come so quickly.

"From this day forward, you are also my mother. Hughes gently put his arms around the stunned lady and whispered in her ear.

"My child~My child~~My child~~", feeling the temperature of Hughes's fingertips, Mrs. Cynthia was shocked. Immediately, she stretched out her arms and embraced her fourteen-year-old dream with all her might, like tears gushing out from a spring, and the listener cried sadly, and that kind of fiery emotion, at this moment, all burst out, without reservation.

Madame kept rubbing her face with her own face, and from time to time she held up Hughus's face with both hands and looked at it carefully, letting the tears flow without blinking her eyes once, she kept kissing Hughes, forehead, eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, chin...... Without letting go of a place, she hugged him tightly, as if to integrate Xius into her body.

Mrs. Cynthia's motherly love has been held back for too long by a dam of heart knots. Now, with only a slight crack, the surging power can no longer be stopped, like a tide, drowning Xiusi's entire body.

Nalco watched from the door of the bedroom, and this touching scene made him, a middle-aged man, sigh, and his eyes were always moist.

I don't know how long this exchange of love lasted, and under the persuasion of Theseus, Lady Cynthia finally broke into tears, and that peerless face made Nalco, who had known her for more than ten years, also sluggish. This is the smile that is truly happy in life, and this is the most beautiful smile in the world that a mother with a child shows.

Witnessing the untangling of the knot between the two of them, Nalco walked over and sat on the sofa opposite the two. Hughes also wanted to sit down, but how could the mother who had just gotten the child be willing to let go of him, the seemingly slender arm, which was completely powerful at this time, pulled Xius to the death, and did not let him go at all.

"Hold you in your arms, and your mother's world will be full of light!" said Lady Cynthia to the embarrassed Theseus.

"But, I stink!" said Hughes, blushing.

That's right, he hasn't taken a shower since he came in. In fact, he hadn't taken a shower in three days, and the smell of sweat on his body was strong. And the lady has a light fragrance, which smells very good. When the fragrance mixed with the smell of his own sweat, after entering Xius's nose, he felt that he really couldn't go on like this. He had to take a shower first!

Lady Cynthia patted Theseus on the occasion and smiled, "It's the smell of little manhood." ”

Nalco also blushed slightly at this time. is as steady as him, and he has long forgotten about it. At this time, as soon as Xius mentioned it, his nose immediately smelled the smell of his body that made people cover their noses and frown. Nalco immediately stood up, confessed his guilt, and walked briskly to his and Ram's room, and by the way, pulled Ram, who had been faithfully guarding the door, to take a shower.

Although Madame did not mind, Hughes felt that he could not tolerate it for a moment, and he insisted on going to the shower first. And to his great shock, the lady actually wanted to go in and help him wash!

Of course, Hughes could not agree: "Mother, I am fourteen years old, and I have long been bathing alone. ”

"So what? Since you admit that I am your mother, and the mother bathes the child, does anyone dare to say that it is wrong?"

"Oh no, Mother, I'm not used to undressing in front of others!" called out Theseus, for Madame was already helping him unbutton.

"Don't make a fuss, you've grown so big, I haven't even seen your body, as a mother, it's really a dereliction of duty. Don't move, I'll take a shower for you today!" the lady said in a rather resolute tone.

"Oh no......", Xiusi was about to cry in embarrassment, even the mother who was still in Shining City had not bathed him for several years. He couldn't accept this kind of loving way of a new mother.

The two of them chased from the living room to the bathroom of the bedroom, and Mrs. Cynthia was unwilling to give up the opportunity to help her son take a bath, forcing Hughes to be miserable.

Looking at her determined appearance and reddish eyes, Xius knew that he might have to surrender today, so he sighed, and had to persuade with kind words: "Okay, but, mother, can you go out first? I'll take off my clothes myself, and when I'm in the bathtub, you can come and help me take a bath, so it's okay." ”

Seeing that his mother was still a little reluctant, Xiusi hurriedly made a gesture begging for mercy, and added: "Mother, I'm really not used to taking off my clothes in front of others!"

The tone of this sentence already has the feeling of a child being coquettish. Mrs. Cynthia suddenly felt a burst of joy, and then her eyes were sour, and she didn't want her son to see her tears again, so she hurriedly turned her head away. Of course, Hughes saw this, but he only felt warmth.

Gently holding her mother out of the bathroom door, she then half-closed the door to release the water, undressed, and then gently slid into the water. However, he immediately realized that the shallow bathtub could not cover his body even if it was filled with water, so he immediately turned his head and looked around, looking for the kind of bath hygiene products that could foam and smell.

Sure enough, the bathroom of this kind of high-end inn has this, and Theseus immediately poured a lot of it into the water, stirred it with his hands, and the full basin of foam immediately floated up, covering his body tightly.

Theseus was satisfied, and hummed an unknown tune: "The invention of the sage is good......"

At this time, the mother also came in, and when she saw the foam that was about to drown people, she glared at Theseus with disgust, and found a basin and began to scoop the foam out.

Hughes was embarrassed and had to shrink as little as he could.

Fortunately, the mother still saved face for the little man, and she didn't remove all the light, and she didn't continue to do it when the foam was flush with the edge of the bathtub. This finally made Hughes breathe a sigh of relief. If he continued to do it, he didn't know if he would protest. Anyway, if it was at home, if Mrs. Betty did this, he would have to resist.

Wrapping a handkerchief around Hughes' hair, Lady Cynthia picked up another handkerchief and began to scrub it up. The movements were so gentle, so comfortable, that the fatigue accumulated from nearly thirty days of travel emanated from all parts of his body, and Xius actually fell into a deep sleep.

Lady Cynthia was stunned when she found out, then kissed Theseus on the cheek in distress and continued the movement in her hand. It's just that the force is lighter and softer.

......

"Ah~", Hughes didn't know how long he had been asleep, and at some point, he suddenly woke up, naturally stood up, and prepared to step out of the bathtub.

Suddenly, his eyes straightened, and then he quickly retracted his legs with a scream and retracted back into the water.

"Why are you still here?" asked Hughes awkwardly, his face glazed over. He knew that the step just now must have exposed all the situation. Thinking that this behavior was actually in front of a peerless beauty, even if the other party was his mother's identity, he was still ashamed.

"Hehe~", Mrs. Cynthia was amused, "I've been here all along." Great body, Theseus, there will be a lot of girls chasing you in the future, I promise. ”

Hughes was speechless, and he realized that the new mother and Mrs. Betty had completely different personalities.

Lady Betty is an authentic lady of a famous family, who always follows the rules in everything, and she has always been elegant and calm. And this Mrs. Cynthia seems to be a little wild. The slightly dull lady's performance before was more like a disguise, and now such unruly behavior is what she really is.

"Alright, come out, you've been asleep for almost three hours, and it's time for dinner. Come out quickly, I'm going to wash your hair!" Lady Cynthia patted Hughes on the head affectionately and went out first.

Turning his head to see her energetic appearance, Theseus was moved from the bottom of his heart. He clearly felt that for the new mother, his appearance was tantamount to the arrival of the God of Light on the mainland, which was complete salvation and light.

"If it makes you happy, then I'm willing to do more!" said Hughes, clenching his fists and secretly promised.

Mrs. Cynthia also experienced the hair washing, and seemed to be using every minute to make up for the regret of not being able to give the child care for the past 14 years.

For Cynthia's mother's love, Hughes felt that words were no longer enough to express his gratitude. He had no choice but to be silent, exchanging a loving look with his mother from time to time, and enjoying the happiness of a child who was cared for by his mother. This is also the greatest happiness of a mother.

It took a lot of time for Mrs. Cynthia to reorganize the poor image of Hughes into a handsome young man with a neat and bright appearance. After several laps around Hughes, Mrs. Cynthia stopped in satisfaction, smiled and nodded, and began to praise her.

"What a handsome man!" said Cynthia's mother, clasping her back to her chest, complimenting her heartily.

And Xius, after such a long period of tossing, the original shyness disappeared at this time. In fact, he was numb to the praise of his new mother, and even a little helpless.

"Alright, Mother, we can eat, I'm hungry, Nalco and they should be in a hurry, hurry up. Hughes pleaded.

"Why do you want to eat with them, can't we two mothers eat well? I had already let them go to eat by themselves. Cynthia was a little dissatisfied, in her eyes at this time, all the free time of Theseus should be exclusive to her, and no one could come to grab it, not even a personal guard like Nalco.

Hughes was speechless, but fortunately he could understand Cynthia's mother's feelings, thought for a moment, nodded, and approved the decision.

Cynthia's mother's brow furrowed again, and she happily took Theseus's hand and walked to her room. She also instructed the maid waiting outside the door to pack all of Xius's luggage and send it to the small two-story white building where she lived alone.

The menu for dinner was very rich, and there were more than a dozen plates on the square table in front of them, and there were many dishes in them that Hughes could not name. These dishes are very delicate in style and smell very good.

Hughes was already hungry and reached out without waiting for the staple food. If it was in the home of Shining City, Betty would definitely hit his hand, but at this square table, Cynthia's mother just looked at him tenderly and lovingly, without any intention of stopping it, as if this was a normal thing.

After nearly an hour of eating, Hughes's stomach bulged. He drank the last sip of soup satisfied, and moved to the sofa not far away, leaning lazily on it, and burping two full children.

"Are you satisfied?" said Mrs. Cynthia herself, still in the standard lady's dining position. She has been developing this habit for more than ten years, and the habit has become natural. She waited for Hughes to finish her meal, then elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin beside her, and then went outside to beckon the maid to clean up the dishes, and then finally came to Hughes and sat down.

"Very tasty, there were three dishes that I had never seen before, but the taste was as delicate as theirs, and I loved it very much. Hughes said with a smile. This time, although it can't be said to be the best meal he has ever eaten, it must be the most comfortable. During the whole meal, from beginning to end, no one ran to the side and told him that this posture was wrong, and it was impolite to stretch out his hand like that. So he was in a very happy mood.

"If you like it, those three dishes have only recently become popular in the royal capital nobles' homes, and they taste pretty good. When Mrs. Cynthia saw that her son was happy, she was happy, and she secretly reminded herself that she would get more fresh dishes for her son to try these days.

"Come to me at this time, Theseus, are you going to study at the Royal Warrior Academy?" Lady Cynthia asked Theseus. Although it was a question, her tone was undoubtedly affirmative.

"Yes, three days later, hehe, we were going to live somewhere else, because it's too expensive. Luckily, I still have some money, and I don't want to run away too much, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to run into you. Hughes laughed as he thought of the previous scene. This kind of meeting, in the final analysis, has to be said to be providence.

A seemingly inconspicuous lazy choice, but in the end it became a pair of mother and son who love each other, I am afraid that few people dare to believe it.

Mrs. Cynthia also smiled, and the news made her happy: "Hughes is awesome, it seems that you have achieved something in your vindictiveness, what a hardworking child." The Holden family has a successor, and Gail must be happy. ”

"A little!" said Theseus, laughing, and he was too embarrassed to mention it now.

In fact, since he found out again that his proud vindictive achievements were not as good as a thief leader who was running around, he no longer dared to be proud of being hit one after another in a short period of time. Because the reality made him understand that in battle, others will not care whether you are a genius or not, and they will not care how old you are to practice fighting spirit. The result of the battle is only about which of the two has the stronger fighting spirit, and it has nothing to do with age.
