Scarlett gave birth to a son named Luis, hoping that he would be as brave and strong as a warrior all his life.
When Luis was one month old, Raymond showed his confession to Scarlett on all LED screens in Juanton City's squares, which caused quite a sensation, as if he was desperate to let everyone know his deep affection for her.
This matter had been a trending topic on social media for several days. After many years, someone brought it up again, and only then did people realize that as the protagonist of his one-month celebration, Luis didn't get much attention at that time.
On the second day after Scarlett gave birth to Luis, Raymond had a ligation operation.
Raymond seemed to have been at enmity with his own son. When Luis was still a child, he always asked Scarlett to hold him, thus occupying most of her time.
Unsatisfied with this, Raymond took the initiative to hold Luis by himself.
Later, in order to keep Luis from clinging to Scarlett, Raymond taught him to climb, walk and talk in person.
Although Raymond had become a father, he was still an impatient person. After all, he had never been a good-tempered man, and he didn’t make any difference in treating his own son.
Luis was still an ignorant child when he was under three years old, and Raymond could endure his willfulness and naughty behavior, but after Luis became older,
Raymond's patience gradually ran out.
Since Luis was reluctant to go to kindergarten, Raymond put him at the entrance and drove away. No matter how loudly his son cried, he just ignored him.
When Raymond reached forty, Luis finally graduated from kindergarten and went to elementary school.
Raymond took Rowan, who was already in his nineties, to Juanton City, and then he travelled around the world with Scarlett.
Although Rowan always doted on his great-grandson, he had been a soldier for more than 40 years, and when Luis made serious mistakes, he never softened towards him.
Luis grew up under the strict instruction of Rowan. It was not until he entered a hoarding school that he got his long-awaited freedom.
When Luis turned thirteen years old, Rowan suddenly passed away just a few days after his 101st birthday.
Raymond and Scarlett, who were planning to leave for another country, hurriedly flew back to attend the funeral. For the first time, Luis felt the meaning of life when he watched Rowan's urn that weighed only 250 grams being put into the tomb.
Suddenly, he also understood why Raymond and Scarlett were different from his classmates' parents. As human beings, we could only live once, and leading a happy and wonderful life mattered the most. As for the meaning of life, it was for others to judge and had nothing to do with ourselves.
Rowan's sudden death made Scarlett give up the idea of traveling around the world with Raymond. Looking at her son, who was already half a head taller than herself, she had complex emotions and decided to be a good mother from now on.
