Part 2The Second Chance I Didn't Expect

After a month of settling in, I established my life back in my hometown.

Nina was originally a cheerful girl, but the loss of her family members one by one had a significant impact on her.

She changed from a girl who loved to laugh into a silent and solemn person.

Although young, she became increasingly mature.

She would watch my expressions, help me with housework, and go to the fields with Grandma to pick vegetables, helping her carry the basket.

Every time I saw Nina being so sensible, I would think of my child far away in River City.

The little princess held in the palm of the He family's hand, Icey.

If Icey wanted meat, someone would send her a ranch.

If Icey wanted to swim, someone would send her a hotel.

Nina often cried in the middle of the night, asking me if I would abandon her in the future.

I held her in my arms, stroked her head, and answered:

"No, Mom wants to live a happy life and doesn't want to hurt the people around her."

"So, Nina, Mom will always make you happy. Do you believe Mom?"

She was silent for a long time, then hugged me tightly.

"Mom, Nina will always be with you. Nina also wants Mom to be happy."

Time passed bit by bit.

Nina grew up day by day.

When she was seven, Nina started elementary school.

For years, I picked up and dropped off Nina every day, rain or shine.

I held Nina's hand walking home; Nina was very quiet along the way.

Sometimes seeing other little girls crying to their parents, Nina would just glance lightly, telling me to be calm.

I laughed; Nina was becoming more and more mature.

Just walking into the small courtyard, a little girl in a fluffy dress ran towards me.

"Mom!"

I stepped back, and Nina caught the little girl who almost fell.

"Little kid, you've got the wrong person." I looked up at the man sitting opposite Grandma. "Sir, you must have the wrong place."

Icey immediately wailed.

I looked at Grandma, who helplessly pulled Nina into the house.

The year I returned to my hometown, I told Grandma that I would not contact the He family again.

Grandma knew my past and didn't ask much.

Later, with Nina, Grandma hardly ever thought about that great-granddaughter with a bit of a temper.

Ethan walked up to me, staring at me without saying a word.

I stepped aside, leaving the door open for them, meaning for them to leave quickly.

Icey saw Nina walk into the house, wiped her tears, and hugged my leg.

"Mom, I miss you so much. Come back to River City with us, okay?"

I smiled and patted her head, took her hand and walked outside.

Turning to Ethan: "Mr. He, let's talk outside."
