Chapter 298 Untying The Knot
Before returning to Nyack.

Hazel has been staying at home, accompanying the three children, picking them up and dropping them off at school, and personally cooking
meals.
These days, Joshua was always secretly observing her, hesitating to speak several times, even his favorite car seemed to lack enthusiasm. Leila took a nap first, and Jaxon, holding her hand, fell asleep as well.
Only Joshua, although he closed his eyes, but the eyeballs under his eyelids kept rolling, obviously not falling asleep.
Looking at her son who couldn’t fall asleep, Hazel whispered to him, “Joshua, come to Mommy.”
She led him to the swing in the backyard garden and held him as they swayed back and forth, watching the scenery in the yard.
Hazel asked softly, “Does Joshua have any questions for Mom?”
Joshua, who rarely felt so close to his mother, blushed slightly and his cheeks grew warm as he leaned his face against her shoulder. Thinking about the words his brother had said to him before, he hesitated for a while but ultimately decided to ask.
Joshua: “Mom, do you prefer my sister more?”
His classmates also said that because his younger siblings were young, his parents would dote on them more.
Joshua couldn’t help but empathize with himself, perhaps because those few classmates had mentioned it to him too many times recently. Every time he saw his father holding his sister, there was a slight sourness in his heart.
He knew that he didn’t have a responsible older brother or a younger sister who could act cute, but he really liked his mom and dad.
Hazel understood the possessiveness of children towards their parents.
She touched the child’s head and asked, “Mother’s love for all three of you is the same.”
“I had said a lot of hurtful words to my mother before because of what others said, but I never formally apologized to her. I’m sorry.”
The sudden apology from the child caught Hazel off guard for a moment.
Just as I was about to comfort him, I heard Joshua say again, “Mom, I really know I was wrong, so can you please not abandon me?”
His hand tightly clenched Hazel’s coat, tears soaking her collar, and his voice became choked towards the end.
Hazel sighed, the past sadness was real, but the love for her children also diluted those sorrows, since she had chosen to forgive her two sons, she would not be trapped in the emotions of the past anymore.
“Joshua, listen to Mommy,” she gently patted the child’s shoulder, her tone very gentle and soothing.
Joshua lifted his head from her embrace, and she gently wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes with her fingertips.
“Whether it was you, brother, or sister, you were all mother’s children and her love for you had no difference. But if mother’s actions made feel favoritism, she apologizes to you here.”
my
sister.”
Upon hearing her words, Joshua quickly shook his head in distress, “I didn’t blame Mom, I also really like
“Mom, I didn’t say that you and my sister are not good, and I’m not jealous of my sister, I just… just…” Joshua’s voice was filled with a sense of urgency to explain things clearly, afraid that she might think he hated Leila’s presence. He became more and more anxious as he spoke, his voice choked and his shoulders trembled as he silently wept.
Before having a child, it was said that one could balance a bowl of water.
But sometimes, more or less, it would make one of the children feel that the balance of parental love was tilted.

Hazel’s heart tightened, and she hugged her child to soothe his emotions, saying, “Mommy knows that Joshua and big brother both love their little sister very much.”
The two people talked for a long time.
Hazel didn’t tell Joshua about the custody issue until his emotions had gradually stabilized.
“Joshua, Mom and Dad respected your and your
brother’s choices.”
“No matter whether you prefer to stay with dad or mom, we are still a family, and this will never change.”

“If in the future you feel that Mom has shown favoritism towards you, you can always talk to Mom about it.”
Hazel steadfastly expressed her love to him, causing the clouds of gloom in Joshua’s heart to gradually dissipate. It was only then that he realized he had been overly dramatic.
His cheeks turned slightly red, and he shyly lowered his head, fidgeting with his fingers.
Joshua: “Mom, I really liked you and my sister, as well as dad and my brother.”
Wipe away the tears from the child’s cheeks.
Hazel nodded with a smile and said, “Mom knew.”
He looked up and asked, “Will Mom settle in Canada in the future?”
Although the flying distance between the two countries was not long, Joshua felt a little reluctant in his heart because of the distance.
“Mom would always be by your side until you grew up.”

“Mom took sister to Aspen this time because she had to work there later. But don’t worry, Mom promises that she will bring sister back to be with you on the weekend, okay?”
Gabriel also used to go on business trips, and during those times, Jaxon and Joshua would be sent to the old house to live.
The words that his brother said echoed in Joshua’s ears once again.
Dad needed to work hard for his career, but Mom was the same. They shouldn’t have used love to confine Mom’s ambitious heart.
Joshua, who had finally come to a realization, felt a sudden relief as the darkness that had clouded his vision disappeared.
He said firmly, “Mom, you can focus on your work, and I will study hard.”
“Uncle Bodyguard can also take us to Aspen on weekends to visit you, so Mom doesn’t have to come over every time. We can also video chat, and I will buy my little sister her favorite candied hawthorn to eat…”
Hazel’s eyes slightly reddened, “Okay.”
Listening to his son describing his future life bit by bit, speaking words of encouragement to her, his eyes were filled with contentment.
The knot of uneasiness in the heart was untied.
Once Joshua was sure that his mother wouldn’t reject him, he felt a lot more relaxed.
In the end, he realized his past mistake and should not have chosen the latter between his mother and Gianna.
Joshua felt so anxious and worried, afraid that his mother wouldn’t love him, only after he realized that his choices had hurt her.
Joshua gazed at the gentle beauty in front of him with bright eyes, feeling proud in his heart.
His mother was really amazing!
She also knew medicine and saved many, many patients. She was a female hero written in books!
After calming Joshua’s emotions, Hazel found time to have a chat with her eldest son, Jaxon.
Jaxon’s personality is actually like a gentle version of Gabriel.
In many aspects of understanding and insight, he was also more mature than the average person of his age.
Hazel didn’t need to say a word, he took the initiative and said, “Mom, I understand everything. Although you are our mother, you are also your
own person with your own things to do. I will take good care of my little brother, so don’t worry.”
“Silly child, you were still a child yourself, there was no need for you to take care of your younger brother.”
Hazel kissed her eldest son’s cheek and said with concern, “Jaxon, even though you are the older brother, taking care of your younger siblings is the responsibility of Mom and Dad, not yours, so just focus on being yourself.”
“From now on, you can learn whatever you like. Mom and Dad will always love you and support you. They will be your backing.”
Jaxon’s heart was warm, and he shyly nodded.
A mountain cabin in Seattle.
Theodore brought tea to Gabriel and respectfully closed the tea house’s door, with people patrolling around.
“I heard about your matter from your grandfather.”

Jasper picked up the tea and blew on it lightly, raising his eyes slightly. “Have you considered it? This path was not easy to walk.”
