Australia, in an apartment in Sydney. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Daphne is an ordinary housewife, she originally worked as a secretary in a foreign trade company, because she had more children and her husband's income was also considerable, so she quit her job and became a full-time wife.
In the morning, she sent her eldest son and second daughter to school, and took the remaining two children to lie on the sofa and play with blocks.
Both children were two or three years old, and were already able to play with toys on their own, and after a while she accompanied the play, the children pushed her away to play by herself.
"Don't you want to share the joy with your mother?" She asked, smiling.
The youngest son shook his head and said in a childish voice: "My sister and I want to build a castle, don't want my mother to participate, this is a children's castle!" ā
Seeing the serious looks of the two children, she couldn't help laughing, so she kissed each of them on the forehead, and played on the sofa with her mobile phone.
As a housewife, she likes to watch dramas and watch her friends' social circles, because she now has a relatively narrow social range, so she cherishes her past friends.
In the information posted in the social circle of friends, three in a row are looking for a child who has disappeared for thirty years.
She opened the topic curiously, and then the first thing that appeared was a large children's avatar.
Seeing this photo of children, she subconsciously looked at her youngest son, who was fiddling with the building blocks and grinning happily at her.
At this moment, she was stunned, her youngest son's smile was so similar to this photo!
"Maybe it's a coincidence." She said to herself silently.
Flipping the phone screen, she continued to look down, and then saw more photos, including a child alone and a group photo with a tall young man.
In this group photo, the young man carried the child on his shoulder, facing the camera with a bright smile, and vaguely Daphne saw the shadow of her husband when she first met.
"Oh my God." She covered her mouth with her hand and began to narrate, Elizabeth's brilliant writing recounted the incident in succinct language, and also described the image of a resolute father who had been searching for his child for thirty years.
Putting down the phone, she hugged her little son to take a closer look, and the little son was upset, pushed her hand away and shouted: "Mom, my castle!" My castle! ā
Daphne reconfirmed, then pulled out her phone and called her husband.
The phone was quickly connected, and a voice rang softly: "Hi dear, I'm having a morning meeting, what's going to happen later......"
Daphne interrupted her husband and said, "Jimmy, you always don't like to talk to me about your parents, I wonder why?" ā
The person on the other side asked, "Why did you suddenly remember this?" It's a complicated matter, I don't really want to say it, in the future, there will be a chance to ...... later"
"Don't, don't have a chance, in Sunset Town, New Zealand, there is an old man looking for his thirty-two-year-old child, the child was lost with him when he was two years old, and he has been looking for thirty years!" Daphne interrupted her husband again.
Jimmy was surprised and said, "What? What are you talking about? ā
"I'm sending you something with some photos in it, and I think you can see what I'm talking about. Anyway, I don't think your morning meeting is that important in this matter. ā
Half an hour later, the door of the apartment was pushed open, and a tall blonde man hurriedly walked in, and as soon as he entered the room, he took off his suit and threw it on the sofa, and then sat down in a daze.
Daphne thoughtfully took his hand and said, "As far as I know, Jimmy, your parents are here, what's going on?" Is that you in the photo? ā
Jimmy looked at her blankly and said, "You know, I had meningitis when I was a child, and I don't remember a lot of things clearly, and I think the guy in the photo may be me." ā
"Slowly, let me help you analyze it, first of all, you don't have a good relationship with your parents, what's going on?" Daphne asked.
Jimmy smiled wryly, "You know, I have two younger brothers, Thompson and Mikyel. Since I was a child, my parents treated me badly, but they were very good to the two of them, and I started to work out to earn tuition and living expenses from middle school, and they, they have been supporting them until now. ā
"I used to wonder if I wasn't their biological son, but that's just thinking, because my childhood memories are them, and my memories are them."
Daphne clasped his hand tightly and said, "I'll let Debbie take care of the baby, let's go to Sunsettown, I think you should meet the old man." ā
Speaking of the old man in the photo, Jimmy became a little agitated, he stood up and spun in a circle, and said, "See?" In what capacity? I don't think there will be anything like this in the world, am I a New Zealander? ā
Daphne said: "Seeing his identity is very simple, even if it is just a fan who admires his perseverance, your father is not good to you, is he?" And how admirable is this father, who has given his life for his child? ā
Jimmy hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind, "I'm going to call Fred again, I'm going to ask him what's going on!" ā
Daphne was a good wife, and she immediately dialed the phone and handed it to her husband.
The phone rang for a while, and finally answered: "Hey, Jimmy, what's the matter?" Hurry up and say, I'm watching TV. ā
Jimmy said stiffly, "Fred, I want to ask you, I, damn it, can I turn off your TV?" You're talking to your eldest son on the phone! ā
"Then your tone is better for me to step on, you know you bastard is talking to your dad on the phone, right? You know! ā
Jimmy exclaimed, "You're my dad?" Are you really my dad? My biological father?! ā
The voice on the phone was visibly stunned: "What are you talking about?" What do you mean? Who made you say something like that? ā
seemed to feel that what he said was wrong, and he hurriedly said: "Of course I am your father, I raised you from a small bastard and a small step, of course it is your father." ā
Jimmy said, "Okay, I see, I have something very important right now, goodbye Fred, and I wish you a nice movie." ā
He hung up the phone in a state of confusion and looked at his wife.
Daphne patted the back of his hand soothingly and said, "Fred's reaction is not quite right, if little Jimmy asks you the same question now, how would you answer?" ā
Jimmy subconsciously said, "I'll beat him up first to see if he is pretending to be crazy and stupid with me!" ā
"Yes, if it's normal, he should just scold you and hang up the phone, there won't be any explanation at all!" Daphne was always calm.
Jimmy swallowed and said, "yes, you're right, damn it, how can this be?" Book a plane ticket and let's hurry to New Zealand! ā
