Why do they look alike?
Five years later, at the train station of Roth City, Suzy was looking out of the window tiredly, her arms wrapping tightly around her twins.
On that cruel winter night, some kind pedestrians had sent her to the hospital. She had thought her life would be miserable. But the arrival of her lovely son and daughter had changed her life.
Being a single mother was not easy. To raise the babies, she needed to take three jobs.
Recently, her daughter, Mandy, was diagnosed with a mental problem. To find a better doctor for her, Suzy had to move from the remote town they were living to the big city. The doctor in their town told her that this kind of condition needed to be treated before Mandy’s adulthood. Or it would only be more difficult for the girl to recover.
Suzy quit her job without any hesitation. Her babies were her everything.
“Mom, hold on tight to my hand. This station is too crowded. We need to stay together or you will get lost,” Willy looked up as he held Suzy’s hand after they got off the train.
Suzy smiled and grabbed her boy’s hand, another arm carrying Mandy. Willy’s hand felt soft and warm in her palm. The boy was a genius. He was far more intelligent and understanding than most kids of his age. And he never hesitated to show his care and love to her. The fact made Suzy incredibly proud.
“I know, sweetie. You also need to hold Mommy’s hand very tightly, okay? I don’t want you to get lost,” Suzy smiled at her boy.
“Okay,” Willy nodded.
Mandy started to wriggle in her arm when they left the train station. Suzy knew the girl probably wanted to pee. So she brought the babies to the nearest stripping mall.
“Mom, you go to the girl’s room with Mandy. I’ll be here waiting for you guys,” Willy said.
Suzy patted the boy’s fluffy head, “You need to stay here very still, okay? Don’t run around or Mommy won’t be able to find you later. Mandy and I will come back really soon.”
Willy nodded, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll be fine.”
Willy was a smart boy. Suzy didn’t worry he would follow any strangers away. But Roth City was huge. She just needed to be cautious.
When Suzy took Mandy to the bathroom, Willy just stood outside and waited. He looked tiny and cute. A lot of strangers came forth to ask if he couldn’t find his mom, but the boy told them not to worry and thanked them politely.
Meanwhile, Vince Houston happened to walk out of the elevators. His assistant followed him, reporting his schedule for the day.
Before Vince could walk out of the mall, a tiny hand suddenly tugged at the hem of his suit.
Vince dropped his gaze and saw a small boy.
“Sir, you dropped your folder,” Willy handed a blue folder to Vince.
Vince pulled a handsome face, staring at the tiny ball of cuteness before him at his full 6’4 height.
He was not a rude person. He just seldom smiled as the CEO of the biggest business group in the city. But for some reason, his heart melted as he saw the cute little boy. This was weird. Vince was sure he had never seen this kid in his life before. But the boy just looked extremely familiar… He didn’t remember having any cousins at this age.
Vince turned to face his assistant sternly. He really didn’t know how to handle little kids. Do they bite?
His assistant, Kelly, took the folder from the little boy, smiling warmly, “Thanks for sending this folder to us, kiddo. That’s really kind of you.”
“You’re welcome,” Willy nodded politely and turned around.
Kelly stared at the boy for a while and let out a smile, “Sir, don’t you think the boy looks quite like you? Especially his eyes…”
The little boy suddenly stopped in his course as he heard what Kelly just said. Furious, the boy whipped around and snapped, “I don’t look like him at all! I’m more good-looking than him! You’re rude!”
Willy hated it when people teased that he looked like random men. He knew those comparisons always made Mommy sad.
Kelly’s mouth fell open, not knowing why his words made the boy so mad.
Vince could see the disgust clearly in the boy’s eyes. He didn’t expect the boy to be so full of temper. But he also couldn’t deny the boy looked quite like himself.
Vince’s lips curled up into a smirk, “Yep, Kelly. You’re definitely blind. I don’t think we share any similarities…”
Willy rolled his eyes and walked away, holding his little chin up.
Vince shook his head and walked out of the hall. Kelly followed up, he still felt that they looked very much alike, especially when they were upset.
