After all, Third Brother had said that Dad wasn't the only one who didn't want the child.
There was Mom, too.
Mom didn't want the child either.
"It should be soon."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
The boy had said he saw his mom with her arm linked through an unfamiliar man's.
The man had also been in the driver's seat of the car earlier.
Oh...
Zhang Bo and the others nodded in understanding.
"Hey."
Zhuge Yun couldn't help sighing.
Both parents had started new families of their own.
So...
The child's place in all this... was pretty awkward.
The mood grew a little somber.
"...And right during the most sensitive years of adolescence, too..."
Zhuge Yun muttered.
The others immediately understood what he was getting at.
He had a point...
The boy's parents hadn't divorced earlier or later...
They'd divorced right when their child was hurting the most.
They could have done it when the child was younger, before he understood anything...
He would have been easier to fool, too.
Or they could have waited until he was older and better able to accept his parents' divorce.
He might have been able to see things from their perspective.
He might have been able to come to terms with it himself.
And avoid being hurt so badly by his parents' divorce.
"Maybe they'd wanted a divorce for a long time..."
Zhao Luzheng ventured.
"But they kept putting it off because the child was still young..."
"...Then, once he got a little older, they couldn't wait to get divorced..."
"Mm."
Zhuge Yun nodded.
"Very possible."
"Hey."
Zhuge Yun sighed.
"This is actually a pretty difficult situation to judge."
"If they could make it work, who would want to get divorced?"
Zhuge Yun spread his hands.
