Just when Joaquin wanted to take a break after studying for a while, he saw Jameson runningtoward him as if eager to show him a piece of treasure. “Jojo, look! I’ve got some snacks!” Uponchecking it out, Joaquin realized he was holding a piece of chocolate. “I wanted to save this up, soI’ll take a huge chunk, but I’ll make sure to give you a small piece!” With that, he was ready to breakthe chocolate.
“No thanks. You can have it all for yourself.” Joaquin wasn’t interested in those kinds of stuff.
“Really? Yippee!”
However, just when Jameson was about to pop the chocolate in his mouth, Joaquin caught his handin alarm. “Where did you get it from?” Ever since Jameson got hospitalized after having an upsetstomach, Joaquin was more wary of what his brother ate.
“Mom gave it to me. She dropped by, and she’s spending time with Grandma downstairs.” After that,Jameson was about to pop the chocolate into his mouth again.
However, Joaquin snatched the chocolate away from him. “It’s already expired!” Then, he threw itinto the bin.
Seeing that his chocolate was binned in front of him, Jameson was reasonably not too happy aboutit. “Why did you throw it away?”
“It’s expired, so you can’t eat it anymore.” Joaquin stared at his brother in all seriousness.
“But nothing seemed wrong with it when I checked earlier.” Tilting his head, Jameson didn’t seem atall convinced.
“You weren’t looking close enough.” Not allowing any arguments, Joaquin added, “Remember tohand any snacks that Mom gives you to me so that I can check them.”
“Why?” Tilting his head, Jameson stared at his brother in confusion. In the meantime, Meredithhalted her movements while she was going up the stairs to eavesdrop on their conversation.
“Um... It’s because she’s a celebrity who is busy at work, so she might not notice that the snacksshe gave you had expired. However, remember not to tell her any of these, as she’ll feel sad. Doyou understand?”
Jameson nodded his head despite not fully understanding the situation. “Okay, I get it. But mychocolate...”
“You can tell Dad that you miss Miss Yard so that he’ll bring us to her. Then, you’ll get to eat a lot ofsnacks!”
“You’re right!” Jameson was quick to recover from his low spirits over losing his chocolate.novelbin
“Okay, you can go play now.”
“Alright!” After Jameson ran off happily, Joaquin turned to unlid the bin before digging through it tolook for the piece of chocolate he discarded.
“What are you looking for?” Without his knowledge, Meredith already walked up to him, whichalmost scared him senseless. Crouching down beside him, she stared into his eyes with a steelygaze.
Without ever expecting Joaquin to doubt her, she realized she’d underestimated how shrewd andobservant he could be despite his age. She recalled that Joaquin spoke to Pierre about somethingback when Jameson was hospitalized, and it was after that that Pierre’s attitude toward herunderwent a drastic change. Oh, my dear son, how dare you try to undermine me!
“I-It’s nothing. I lost something.”
“What have you lost?” Meredith looked at him with a smile and a seemingly omniscient look in hereyes.
“I don’t think it’s here, so I’ll go check somewhere else.” Joaquin was ready to leave, but Meredithcaught hold of his arms.
After tidying his clothes, she caressed his face as she spoke. “Jojo, I know I can’t always be withyou because of my identity, which is why you’ve distanced me. However, you’re both my sons whomI carried within me for nine months before giving birth to, so I’ll love you no matter what happens.”
