《Ode to Freud》Extra Chapter 5: My Grandson
Advertisement
These peaceful days are really relaxing.
Once one gets to my age and live as much as I have lived, this kind of thing really helps the soul.
I don’t care much for what is being talked by these women, but at some moments even I will be present of mind and spirit.
I.
Enjoying my daughter breastfeeding my grandson.
Who would have guessed.
My own mother would enter a laughing streak if I told her.
But that is life. I cannot fight the course written in the stars anymore. I don’t want to. I have found happiness with it.
It never goes for too long, of course. A couple years’ maximum. Alice has stopped breastfeeding already, but I am sure she will have another son or daughter to breastfeed in no time.
Ever since she got fertile again her aura hasn’t changed a bit. I’m sure her body is still ready for conceiving.
Haha, what will be it this time?
A grandson or a granddaughter?
“Mother, can we talk?”
That’s unusual. For her to ask me to stay after the other woman have gone home.
“Sure darling. What do you need from me?”
“I… actually wanted to have this talk with John if possible.”
With that trash of a husband?
Curse the stars. Curse the course.
“Very well.”
“Thank you.”
“Not a problem darling. I guess it has something to do with Alvin?”
“Ah, y… yes.”
“I imagined so. Come, let’s sit in the kitchen while we wait for John.”
It’s a good opportunity I think.
All, this boy.
He really is a genius. And one of the big ones.
I have seen some genius in my days. Genius of all kinds.
Still, I cannot see what kind of genius is he.
Such deep mystery written on his aura… wait…
His aura… is it showing traces of cultivation?!
Yes. This is [Heaven and Earth Transcendence, Five Streaks of Light Cultivation]. And I can see traces of [Body Refining], [Soul Elevation], [Mind Deepening] and [Spiritual Advent] as well.
This is the complete secret of the [Goddess Mountain Trail]. It’s still incomplete, but it’s there.
This kid….
My peaceful days are over.
Such is the course of the stars.
Curse the course. Curse the stars.
