"Zhiyu and the children didn't do this out of wanton, they had a tough journey too."
Shen Wenchen confessed to himself that he was not the best father but his wife was the best mother to their son.
"I know."
Nanzhi replied in a muffled voice.
If it was a novel that depicted how two children endured hardships to find their father, she might admire their bravery.
But when it came to her own children, more than anything, she was filled with fear.
From the moment she learned that they had sneaked out, her mind was filled with dreadful scenarios, fearing they had encountered an accident.
She was determined to punish them sternly once they returned home, but seeing them bow their heads in remorse made her heart soften.
Even though she knew the children had good intentions, there could never be a second time for such an incident, so she had to put on an angry front to ensure they understood the consequences.
