But she couldn't cry, couldn't let the tears in her eyes fall.
Melody Parker changed into her house slippers and bent down to pick up Benjamin Parker.
She looked at Benjamin, her face full of warmth and loving kindness, "Bone soup? Did Barrett make it?"
Benjamin shook his head, "No."
Melody's smile broadened, "You made it?"
Benjamin nodded, "Yes."
Suddenly being picked up by Melody made Benjamin a bit embarrassed and shy, yet at the same time, deliriously happy.
Recalling Barrett's message today, Benjamin immediately spoke up, "Mommy, you should put me down, I'm heavy. Holding me like this will tire you out."
"Nonsense, holding my precious makes Mommy not feel tired at all." Melody held Benjamin, placing him on the sofa to sit down.
Her gentle eyes looked at Benjamin, imprinting a kiss on his forehead, "Sweetie, Mommy loves you."
Benjamin held Melody's head in his hands, returning a kiss on her cheek, "Mommy, I love you too."
