Chapter 1198 "I don't believe you! You're lying! Are you sick?" Mason cried.
"No..." No matter how much Nyla explained, Mason refused to believe her.
Eventually, she had no choice but to call Damon over. It took both of them a long tto convince him. Even then, Mason was still sniffling. "Mommy... are you leaving because you don't wantand Daddy anymore?" Nyla was rendered speechless. How was she supposed to explain such a complicated situation to a five-year-old? She could only keep it simple. "No, Mommy's just going away for work. When I finish, I'll cback. And in the meantime, we can still talk on the phone." "Mommy... are we out of money?" Mason's little fists clenched. "I can make money too!" He had written code for his master before, and his master had given him lots of money. If he kept working, he could earn even more.
"No, Mommy's not leaving just for money. One day, when you're older, you'll understand," Nyla replied gently.

Nyla sighed helplessly and turned to Damon. "He probably won't be able to accept this right away. When I leave, please explain it to him slowly." As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
Damon pulled her into his arms, his voice low and comforting. "Don't be sad. One day, he'll understand." "Mm," she hummed softly.
After calming herself down, Nyla carried a breakfast tray upstairs and knocked on Mason's door. "Buddy, it's Mommy. Can you open the door for me?" "No!" Mason yelled.
Hearing the anger and resistance in his little voice, Nyla sighed. "Alright, I won't bother you. But I'll leave your breakfast outside the door. Eat when you're ready, okay?" After setting the tray down, she turned and walked away.
She knew Mason needed tto process everything. Asking him to accept it immediately was too much.
Inside the room, Mason listened to the sound of his mother's footsteps fading. His little face was full of hurt.
If Nyla had just coaxed him a little more, he definitely would've opened the door for her.
He was never going to talk to her again! Sulking, he pulled the blanket over his head. However, the more he though about his mother leaving, the sadder he became. Soon tears on? started flowing again.
Just then, his phone rang.

Seeing that it was his master calling, Mason wiped his tears and sniffled. e "Hello... Master..."
Hearing Mason's thick, tearful voice, Alexander immediately frownedm "Buddy, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Mason burst into tears again at the question.
It took stbefore Alexander ma to ask, "Buddy, why are you so hard? Did your parents scold you because you did something wrong?"
Between sobs, Mason choked out, "Master... my mom's leaving! She's going far away! I don't want her to go!" The moment he finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the line.
