In the afternoon sun, Jacques stood under the tree beside the path, his eyes burning to confess to Xia Xue.

Xia Xue, I have missed a girl in my life. Now, I don't want to miss another of you. Can you, think about it? Jacques looked at Xia Xue obsessively.

This is the second time Jacques has confessed to Xia Xue. Xia Xue was silent, what could she say? In her opinion, she has long since lost the qualification to start over. In this life, it is impossible to open the chapter of love again.

Jacques, you know, I didn't go through the divorce process at all. Moreover, Xue Zhi and I may not be able to go through divorce procedures in our lives. Xia Xue lowered her eyes and said weakly.

Xia Xue was reluctant to mention her emotional world. That world is too complicated and confusing. Confusion, love and hate entanglement, like seeing flowers in the fog. She would rather run away than face it.

Jacques frowned suddenly, and said eagerly and angrily. Xia Xue, why can't you face up to your inner emotions? Since you chose to leave Xue Zhi, it means that there is a problem in your relationship, and this problem is something you can't solve!

Jacques stared solemnly into Xia Xue's eyes, his gaze aggressive.

Xia Xue looked up and glanced at Jacques, unable to meet his arrow-like gaze at the moment. Immediately, she lowered her long, dark eyelashes, flapping gently and uneasily, like the gentle wings of a bird.

Jacques, although there is no way to solve the problem between me and Xue Zhi for the time being, I believe that time will give me the answer. In my heart, there is still Xue Zhi, and I still seem to love him. So, it's impossible between me and you, it's really impossible. Xia Xue said apologetically.

Jacques's heart is like a desert full of enthusiasm, but Xia Xue is so timid and retreating, refusing to face up to his inner emotions.

Jacques punched the thick trunk of the tree, and red blood oozed from his finger bones.

Jacques! Xia Xue shouted and stepped forward to hold his big injured hand.

Xia Xue quickly took out a white handkerchief from her coat pocket and carefully wrapped it around the back of Jacques's slender hand.

Jacques stared at Xia Xue's bright eyes in a daze, and said in a deep voice angrily. Xia Xue, can you be brave? Don't run away, just follow your heart!

Xia Xue's gaze showed a blankness. No, Jacques, I don't have that right now. I, there is Xue Zhi. I'm not yet free, so I can't do immoral things.

Love is sacred, and she does not disgrace the world. Now that you have met love, you should open your mind and embrace her boldly! What you love in your heart is me, and you have long been in love with me Jacques! Don't think I don't know your heart, I already feel it, you are indeed in love with me, but you dare not admit it. Jacques raised his arm, held Xia Xue's warm little hands tightly, and shouted in a low voice anxiously.

Jacques's big hand conveyed a fiery temperature, and in a moment, Xia Xue's little hand was warm and hot. Xia Xue felt the palms of her hands, and gradually oozed sticky beads of sweat.

Xia Xue's heart was hot, and tears came out of her eyes, couldn't she say what it was for? At this moment, she just wants to cry, especially cry. However, it is definitely not tears because of sadness.

Is that a helplessness from within? Or, finally, in the vast sea of people, I met the right person in my life, so I felt ecstatic in my heart? Xia Xue couldn't say clearly, but she knew that she seemed to really like Jacques.

Every time she gets along with Jacques, Xia Xue will feel extremely comfortable inside. It's so relaxed and comfortable, without any guards and scruples, you can say whatever you want, and do whatever you want. Jacques doesn't put a little pressure on her, and lets her stretch happily.

If this feeling is love, then Xia Xue feels that she may really be in love with Jacques! So yourself, isn't it shameless?

Xue Zhi, in the legal sense, is still his legitimate husband. How can you fall in love with another man? No, you can't indulge your heart like that! Xia Xue woke up suddenly, and in a trance, it seemed that she almost stepped on the edge of the cliff.

Jacques' eyes were sharp and perceptive to Xia Xue's expression. He could tell at a glance that Xia Xue was in a dilemma at the moment, hovering painfully between himself and Xue Zhi. Perhaps, she did not have the courage to choose herself in her life.

Xia Xue, please trust my judgment. If you really love Xue Zhi, you will never be able to escape from him by all means. If you hadn't fallen in love with me, your heart wouldn't be so painful and conflicted at the moment! You're in love with me, but you can't give yourself an explanation, right? Jacques's gaze took away its sharpness and instantly became gentle and considerate.

Xia Xue slowly raised her tears, and the tide in her heart was turbulent, unable to calm down. She felt that her heart had never been so weak, and she had never been so eager to have a strong support.

Tears once again filled Xia Xue's eyes. It was as if she had suddenly fallen into a valley of white mist, hopelessly lost, unable to find a bright and warm exit.

Jacques looked at Xia Xue's painful and tangled face, it was so poignant and weak, it made his heart crumple with pain.

Summer Snow! My little woman, I love you, please don't torture yourself like this, okay? Jacques said in a trembling voice, stretching out his long, solid and slender arms, wrapping Xia Xue tightly around his chest.

Xia Xue listened to Jacques's strong heartbeat, and felt more grounded than ever before. Even if it is the end of the world, she will not feel panic and fear, as long as she has this solid chest in front of her, she can rely on.

Xia Xue wept and wet Jacques's clothes.

Jacques slowly lowered his head, looking for her fragrant and soft lips along Xia Xue's fine white and soft cheeks. Quickly and pleasantly, he grabbed it fiercely and kissed it without refusal.

Suddenly, from not far away, there was a sharp whistle.

Xia Xue seemed to wake up from a dream, hurriedly raised her little hand, and pushed Jacques away hard.

Jacques looked at Xia Xue with a smile, her eyes were hazy with shame, her little face was flushed, and she didn't even dare to raise her head.

Jacques whispered in Xia Xue's ear and said. Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter. If anyone asks, I'll tell them that I forced you and that I'm playing hooligan! Hey, I just learned this sentence from your movie!

When Xia Xue heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud and said. You forced it! You just don't learn well?

Jacques couldn't help but laugh and looked not far away. I saw a chubby middle-aged man, laughing and walking towards them.

Hi Redford! You're not at home watching the kids, what are you doing here? Jacques shouted generously, without a hint of embarrassment on his face.

There was a sound of heavy footsteps, approaching Jacques and Xia Xue.

Hi there, Mr. Jacquesthan! I'm sorry to disturb you just now, I really can't help it. You 、、、、、、guys just now, it's so touching, it's fascinating, really!

Xia Xue raised her head shyly and greeted Rayford very unnaturally.

Jacques looked at Rayford calmly, nodded with a good feeling, and said. Dude, you've ruined my good deeds!

Rayford laughed and said. I came here to find Mr. Xia.

Looking for me? Xia Xue asked in surprise.

Mr. Xia, I heard that your dumpling restaurant is about to open. My wife wants to work with you, I don't know if it's okay? My bakery, not too big, had me there enough enough. Rayford looked at Xia Xue with a smile.

Absolutely! I'm in need of manpower there. Xia Xue suddenly brightened up and said with a smile.

Thank you very much, Mr. Xia! Rayford happily stretched out his hand, shook hands with Xia Xue and thanked him, and then said goodbye and left.

Looking at Leaford's distant back, Xia Xue let out a deep breath and felt relieved.

Jacques looked at Xia Xue tenderly, feeling pity in his heart.

Xia Xue, do you know how many children this Rayford has? He has 17 children! Therefore, the family's economic situation is not very optimistic. Jacques smiled and threw his shoulders together.

17 children? Oh, my God! Compared to him, I really shouldn't worry too much about my future life. Xia Xue exclaimed.

Jacques dragged Xia Xue and continued to walk along the path, leisurely telling about Redford, the superhuman father.

The "Superman Dad" who raised 17 children is called Noel Redford. He is 45 years old and previously lived in Lancashire, in the north-west of England. A few years ago, the family moved to live in the Grand Canyon.

Rayford now runs a bakery for a living and has never applied for a grant. His wife, Sue, is 41 years old and a stay-at-home wife.

Every year on Father's Day, Redford is the happiest day, with 17 children giving him gifts and kisses.

Redford and his wife, Sue, are a devout Catholic couple. Sue grew up in an adoptive family, and she never met her biological parents. She met Redford at a friend's party when she was 17 years old, and the two hit it off at first sight and soon got married hand in hand.

Sue was a woman who was very fond of the warmth of her family, and she initially agreed with Redford to have three or four children. However, after they gave birth to four children, they enjoyed this lively and warm family fun more and more, so they simply decided to let everything take its course.

Sue's motto is to never say no. So they raised 10 sons and 7 daughters, and now the eldest son Chris is 27 years old, and the youngest daughter Hallie is only 1 year old.

Redford watched so many children fall to his knees every day, and his heart felt extremely full, and he and his wife felt that they were the happiest people in the world. But the day-to-day expenses of this large family are also jaw-dropping.

They drink 8.5 litres of milk and two to three loaves of bread a day. Every Sunday family dinner, they eat 4 chickens or a large piece of pork loin, and 60 sausages. Food alone costs £300 a month, and raising these children can cost up to £30,000 a year.

In order to ensure the quality of life of the whole family, Redford had to work hard to find ways to increase the taste and variety of bread, and also opened a free delivery business in the same city to deliver to the door of those who are inconvenient to go out.

Due to the quality of the ingredients and the peculiar taste of the bread made by Redford, it has long become a well-known bakery, thus ensuring that the family has no worries about food and clothing.

Redford tiptoed out of the house at dawn for fear of waking his sleeping wife and children, and then whistled cheerfully through the layers of morning fog to the bakery.

At 7:45 a.m., he would rush home in time to take the children to school. Six children are in primary school and five are in secondary school. He drove his family's 15-seater van along the bus lane to transport the children to their respective schools. At 3 p.m., he would rush to school again to pick up the children home.

His wife, Sue, is not easy at home, she has to accompany her three youngest children, Oscar, Casper, and Haley, and the older Oscar has to go to kindergarten in the afternoon.

Sue washes clothes at home at least 12 times a day, and uses up 30 bottles of laundry detergent in a month.

Every day after dinner, from 6 p.m., the children take turns to take a bath. The younger children take a bath first and go back to their rooms at 7 a.m. to sleep. Older children usually go to bed at 9 a.m. after bathing. By the time the Redfords had finished their shower, it was mostly past 10 o'clock.

The children sleep in 10 bedrooms, like a log cabin from a fairy tale, with cartoon patterns painted on the walls and different colors on the walls.

Redford let his wife, who had been tired from a long day's work, go to bed early, and waited until the children were asleep, and then went about the ten bedrooms like a night watchman, quietly placing the clothes that each child was going to wear the next day beside the children's pillows.

Although Redford had prepared the kids for school the night before, sometimes the kids who got up in a hurry would make jokes.

Usually the mistakes are made by two children who have just entered elementary school, and they either wear their pants or shoes backwards, and they walk stiffly, but they can't seem to find the reason.

Redford and his wife couldn't help but chuckle secretly, but instead of pointing out the child's mistakes, they waited for the children to figure out the source of their mistakes.

While they were busy with the children going to school, sometimes suddenly the screams of Oscar, who had just started kindergarten, could be heard from the bathroom.

They nervously ran to the bathroom, and when they ran to the bathroom door, they couldn't help but clutch their stomachs and laugh.

They saw Oscar, who was sitting on the toilet, sinking into the toilet, his two little hands trying to support his sides, but he couldn't get up.

Oscar, who was originally frightened, also laughed happily when he saw his parents laughing.

Every morning, the family is always the busiest time, and it is also the easiest time to joke.

There are also times when I can't laugh at home, that is, when some children take home a report card with a B written on it. Redford pays great attention to children's self-esteem, so he will still use an encouraging tone to affirm the children's usual learning attitude, and then ask to sit down with the children and talk to them to help them find out the reasons for their failures.

However, his wife Su thinks that the bad grades must be caused by the laziness of the children, and she will scold the children for being stupid when she is angry. For a time, the house was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Redford had to call his wife into his bedroom and persuade her that if it hurt the children's self-esteem, it would be difficult for them to build up confidence when they failed again.

Besides, why should you be harsh on your child? Just as children can't choose their parents and birth, if all these things are chosen, children may not choose parents like us, and we have a lot of shortcomings.

Su pondered for a long time, smiled embarrassedly, and hurried to apologize to the child.

Although the parents were toiling every day with a heavy burden on their shoulders, the Redfords took it all for granted.

They still say that children cannot choose their own parents, so parents should be responsible for their children.

After listening to Jacques's story, Xia Xue couldn't help but be in awe of this superhuman father. Think about yourself, but you're just about to raise a child, what reason is there to worry?
