George buried his little face in her embrace, and upon hearing Charlotte's words, his eyes became moist again.
He didn't understand what benefit there was to staying with the Stephens family, apart from endless studies and empty nights.
He wanted to stay with Charlotte, not sleep alone in a dark room, nor wake up to start homework.
Anyway, no matter how hard he tried, no one noticed...
What was the point of trying?
Charlotte felt her chest dampen with George's warm tears, her heart slightly trembling as she held the child's small body and softly said, "Just this once today."
George lifted his head, looking at her with tearful eyes.
Charlotte took a deep breath and said to George, "Just this once, come home with Mommy. You have to study well at Grandma's from now on, understand?"
"Okay..." George responded, reaching out to hug her, inhaling her faint scent, and couldn't resist rubbing his face in her arms.
