"Pudding, Little Bean… Your mom…" Su Yu faltered.
"You didn't get her back, right?" Seeing Su Yu's look, Pudding's heart sank.
"Pudding, listen to me. The situation is very complicated, but I believe your mommy will come back safe and sound."
"Come back? Did the big bad guy take her away?" Pudding reacted quickly.
"I…" Su Yu didn't know what to say; if he misspoke, the kids would get suspicious.
But he couldn't just tell them that their mom was dead; it would be cruel to them.
"Handsome Su, how about my dad?" Little Bean pulled at Su Yu's sleeve and asked, looking at him with her cute innocent eyes.
Su Yu felt a lump in his throat and almost shed tears.
He tried very hard to suppress his emotions, and with great control, he managed to answer, "Your dad is worried and won't stop until he finds your mommy. So, he's still busy out there."
"Oh. I see…" The kids looked disappointed.
