Looking at Nelson, Nina Morrison feels like that her heart is being stabbing by a knife. Although it is better not to argue in front of children, she can't help it!
Taking a step forward and protecting Nelson in her arms, she shouts at Lucien Gray, "What's wrong with you! Isn't it so normal for such a small child to act petulantly occasionally? Why did you hit him?"
Lucien Gray only wanted to teach Nelson to be a man and not to cry like a little girl, but seeing Nelson's injured and timid expression. Lucien Gray feels awful.
Lucien Gray squats down and looks at Nelson apologetically, "Nelson, I'm sorry, daddy...Daddy just, just want you to be strong, I didn't mean to..."
Seeing little Nelson huddled in Nina Morrison's arms and his big clear eyes full of panics, Lucien Gray feels worse.
He feels guilty. He reaches out to Nelson for a hug, ready to be rejected.
Nelson looks at Lucien Gray, being hesitated for two seconds, then jumps into his arms without hesitation. "Daddy, it's all right! It's Nelson bothering Auntie Nina that makes daddy angry. I will behave myself and don't need companion."
There are still tears on Nelson's eyelashes but a big smile on his face.
Lucien Gray's eyes turn red and he hugs Nelson tightly. His son is so simply thoughtful that makes people feel sorry.
"Let's go, boy! Daddy will ride the roller coaster with you" Lucien Gray picks Nelson up and seats him down on his shoulders. He says to Nina Morrison, "There's a water bar over there, you can rest and wait for us
Nina Morrison ignores him. Instead, she looks up at Nelson with a smile and says, "Honey, Auntie Nina will ride with you!"
Nelson opens his eyes wide with surprise, then shakes his head thoughtfully, "Auntie Nina, if you don't like roller coaster, you don't need to play with me. I am a man, and I can do it by myself."
Nina Morrison smiles, "No, Auntie wants to ride it now."
After the roller coaster, they take a pirate ship and walked a maze. Nelson finally enjoys himself to the full. He touches his belly and says Nina Morrison, "Auntie Nina, I'm hungry."
Lucien Gray holds his little hand, "Let's go, we will find a good restaurant and have a good meal!"
With Lucien Gray in one hand and Nina Morrison in the other, Nelson bounces around like a cute little monkey.
Lucien Gray tries to talk to Nina Morrison all the way, but she keeps ignoring him. All her smile and gentleness give to little Nelson alone.
Lucien Gray knows that she is still angry that he slapped Nelson on the head. While Lucien Gray isn't angry, he feels a little sweet.
Nina likes Nelson, which makes him happier than Nina likes him.
While little Nelson goes to the children's bathroom, Lucien Gray leans against Nina Morrison cheekily, "Nina, are you still angry? Why are you keeping a grumpy face since Nelson isn't mad at me anymore?"
He'd better not mention Nelson. It brings up Nina Morrison's anger again.
She grits her teeth in a low voice, "Lucien Gray! You don't deserve to be a father!"
Lucien Gray is in full grievance, "Is it so bad? I just slapped him on the head! It should be a bit strict to parent a son. If he was a daughter, I wouldn't touch a finger of her."
Nina Morrison is so angry that she doesn't want to talk to him. After a while, she says, "Are you parenting? You are punishing! That's the lowest way of parenting! You would hurt him! Don't you think Nelson is too thoughtful? A five-year-old boy should be naughty and mischievous. Even if he acted egoistically, could you just say something and make him realize that he was wrong. What have you done? You beat him! Don't tell me you just pat. What's the difference between your pat and beating?!"
Nina Morrison finishes. Lucien Gray stays silent for a moment before he says, "You're right. I did parent Nelson severely. I'm afraid that he would behave badly since he doesn't have a mother. I didn't expect that I did too much..."
Nina Morrison didn't expect Lucien Gray to admit his mistake so definitely.
He is that kind of person who even hits the south wall and never looks back, arbitrary and powerful. But now, he actually admitted his mistakes.
Maybe he has really changed for the last five years....
Nina Morrison sighs and says in a soft tone, " Please be more patient and tolerant with Nelson. He is still so young and doesn't have a mother to take care of him. If you are so strict, he will be so poor!"
Her voice is warm and sincere. The golden sunset tinted her profile with a soft glow that makes her beautiful and compassionate as the virgin Mary.
Lucien Gray is so moved that he almost blurts out some words. But he finally swallows it back.
It's not the right time yet. He must endure for another year to build up strength.
Not only must he keep the business of Gray Group that has lasted for three generations, but also improves it and makes it stronger. And then, he will give the business to his son.
Before that, nobody can replace the position of Jasmine Harris.
Even she is Nina Morrison.
