3 Sweethearts 3 (2/2)

This was the other tragedy in Peach's family.

Usually, a child's first would would be ”Mum”, ”Dad” or even ”Grandma”.

Unlike other children, Peach's first word was, ”Band.”

Initially, Peach's father had thought that Peach was just making random sounds and warming up her throat. However, after a while, he noticed that she would only mutter ”Band… band…” whenever she saw Shen Mochen.

It was then that he realised what she was trying to say…

Peach's father's eyes welled up with tears of sorrow. He was reminded of the ancient Chinese adage, ”When a girl is of age, she has to be married off.” Peach was not even of age yet, but her thoughts already revolved around her husband.

When these things happened, Shen Mochen was less than three years old. Evidently, he did not understand what 'band band' meant. Otherwise, with his character, he would likely have strangled Peach on the spot.

Sighing helplessly, Peach's mother watched on as Peach sat down obediently beside Shen Mochen and stared at him with a curious expression on her face. Watching this scene, Peach's mother felt her heart trembling.

Only when Shen Mochen was around, would Peach behave like a demure little girl, sitting obediently next to Shen Mochen with a gentle smile on her face. He Yue would praise her repeatedly, and comment that it was easier to raise a girl as they were more obedient and lovable.

It was not true! Her appearance in front of Shen Mochen was far from reality!

”Don't be deceived by your daughter-in-law's pretense! Her true self is a little devil who goes around causing destruction!” Peach's mother growled to herself.

Wait… Daughter-in-law?

Peach's mother was startled by the revelation, she had unknowingly thought of the two children as betrothed.
