Chapter 65 - As a father, shouldn't he try to do everything that he could in order to give his child the best possible living environment? (1)
Regarding the matter of who would get custody of Little Wang, Ruan Xia was very calm.
After divorce, it was naturally impossible for a couple to stay under the same roof and raise their child together. During this past period, she had seen how much Song Tingshen cared for Little Wang. The mental and physical effort he expended on Little Wang was more than anyone else. And so, if Song Tingshen wanted to fight her for custody of Little Wang, no matter what angle she looked at it, he would win, even if she took their case to the courts.
Besides, she believed that Little Wang would be able to live very well if he stayed with Song Tingshen. Song Tingshen would take good care of his son. Thus, she had no intention to fight for custody.
From various perspectives, Song Tingshen was the right choice. He was young and promising and had already proven himself to be a winner in life. He was patient with children. In terms of future development, it would be good if Little Wang could follow after his father.
However, if Song Tingshen didn't want custody of Little Wang, she would gladly accept it. After all, she truly liked this chubby child and would do her best to raise him, care for him, and educate him on moral values.
The longer she stayed here, the more Ruan Xia came to terms that her possibility to return to her original world was minuscule. Although she thought badly of the original owner's actions, since she had transmigrated into the original owner's body, she had to take on the original owner's responsibilities and obligations.
Whether it was the original owner's parents or children, she should take care of them.
Would Song Tingshen really not want custody of Little Wang though? Would he feel at ease leaving his son with a person that hadn't been the least bit concerned with Little Wang in the past few years?
This was at odds with his character.
She shook her head and decided to not think about this answer that couldn't be quickly figured out. It will be Monday tomorrow. How they would discuss and what they would discuss would become apparent soon.
On the other side, Song Tingshen was extremely quiet because his plan to curry favor with his wife had failed.
Little Wang was originally going to sleep with his mom, but on his way to her bedroom, he spontaneously took a few steps into his dad's room with his short, little legs.
Song Tingshen picked him up and placed him on one leg. Smiling, he asked, "Hmm? Do you want to sleep with dad tonight?"
Little Wang shook his head. He had just taken a bath, so his soft, slightly wet hair was sticking to his forehead. Looking very innocent and cute, he asked, "Dad, are you unhappy?"
"No." Song Tingshen picked up a dry towel to dry his son's hair. "Little Wang, what does your mom like?"
Little Wang very seriously considered this question. In the end, he pointed at himself and showed his small, white teeth. "She likes me."
"I meant, what is a thing that she likes?"
"Eh. I'm not a thing."
Song Tingshen laughed at these childish words.
"Mom likes beautiful clothes and shoes."
"... En, and what else?"
"She likes ice cream!"
"Eh?"
"She likes cookies!"
"... Hmm? I'm asking what your mom likes, not what you like."
This question was too challenging for Little Wang. "I don't know then."
The father and son simultaneously sighed. Song Tingshen could guess what his son would do next, so he added, "Dad was testing you, so you don't need to tell this to your mom. If mom finds out that you don't even know what she likes, she'll be unhappy."
