Grace felt surprised and kept silent. She didn't expect him to think about that.
Andrew said seriously, "I've decided to go back to France. I will buy the ticket as soon as possible..."
Grace kept silent. She felt sad and asked," Why did you decide to leave?”
Andrew said, "You may not go to France anymore, but I have to go back."
Grace asked, "Do you have the heart to leave Eaton?" Then she closed her eyes and regretted what she had said. I shouldn't have said that!'
Andrew thought about it and said, "I'm reluctant to leave him, so I need to leave immediately! If I continue to stay here, I will be more reluctant to leave.”
Although Grace didn't want Andrew to leave, she couldn't be so selfish. She didn't say anything else but nodded.
In the past year, Andrew was so nice to Eaton. She would remember it forever!
When Grace was in France, it was Andrew who accompanied her in the delivery room. He cut Eaton's umbilical cord and named Eaton. When she was busy with work, he helped her take care of Eaton and slept with Eaton at night.
Andrew knew Eaton's habits better than Grace, although Grace was Eaton's mother.
Andrew was like Eaton's father.
Andrew would go back to France and say goodbye to Eaton. Grace didn’t have the heart to think how sad Andrew would be.
Andrew said, "Just like what you have said, someone else can coax Eaton besides me. For example, Eaton smiled through tears yesterday." As a man, although Andrew felt sad to be separated from Eaton, he needed to suppress his feelings.
Since Eaton was born, he had become a part of Andrew's life. Subconsciously, Andrew went to see if Eaton had woken up almost every morning. Andrew cared if Eaton cried or was sick. He cared where to take Eaton for fun!
