Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTrevor frequently visited his mother at work. The people at the company were kind to him, especially Darcie. When his mother was busy, Darcie would help take care of him. Trevor was a shy child and didn't initially notice Darcie's kindness. She would often give him treats and toys, sfamiliar and others new, but he didn't grow closer to her because of these things.
Their relationship remained distant until one day Darcie disappeared for several weeks. When she returned, she was much thinner and cried upon seeing his mother. Later, he learned that her husband had died unexpectedly, leaving the baby she was carrying without a father.
His mother told him not to be so distant with Darcie, saying, "She's pregnant, just like me, and you're such a sweet child. Aunt Darcie loves kids and wants to be close to you." Trevor listened to his mother and felt sorry for Darcie, so he wasn't as resistant when she offered him things again.
One day, after eating something, Trevor started vomiting and had severe diarrhea. He passed out on the way to the hospital. In his dazed state, he overheard his grandmother arguing with his mother, blaming her for prioritizing work over her children, and questioning why she couldn't stay hlike other women to take care of her family.

Trevor has someone to take care of him, someone to cook for him. Why should she sacrifice her career? If someone has to manage the home, then she can work outside, and I'll stay home! I don't even like working at the company." There was the sound of a slap, followed by a commotion. Grandma seemed to have fallen ill from the argument.

Despite her efforts, the relationship didn't improve-it phly got worse.
