âMom, donât worry about the future. Iâll find a boyfriend and introduce you to him when this is over,â Lina said jokingly, not wanting her mother to worry too much.
Her parents had already worried too much for her. If only her marriage could give her parents peace of mind, then⦠she would try her best to marry!
Grace received a call from the kindergarten teacher saying that something had happened to her daughter and wanted her to come over.
Grace instantly felt a thump in her heart. âWhat happened?â
âHereâs the thing⦠Jasper got into a fight with another child, and they⦠got a little injured⦠the teacher said.
Grace learned from the phone call that Jasper and Oriel Lynch had gotten into a fight in kindergarten.
Oriel Lynch was slightly injured as Jasper had ripped a patch of her hair out.
Girls valued their appearance. When Oriel Lynch saw a bald patch on her scalp, she instantly cried and insisted on pulling Jasperâs hair too.
As one was the adopted daughter of the Reed family while the other was the heiress of the Reed family who had just returned, the class teacher could not offend either side. Hence, they could only make this phone call with caution.
Grace hurried to the kindergarten. However, before she could walk into the teachersâ office, she heard Irene Lynchâs shouts.
âDo you have any manners? How has your mother taught you? You and Oriel are sisters, after all. How could you pull Orielâs hair like that? Did you do it on purpose? You⦠Youâre so mean for your ageâ¦â
âSheâs not my sister!â Jasper Reedâs childlike voice replied.
âWhat did you say? Orielâs your daddyâs daughter. Why is she not your sister?â Irene Lynchâs voice had gotten sharper.
âNo! I only have a brother!â the little one retorted bluntly.
âDid your mommy teach you to say that? How long have you been back? What will happen when you grow up if youâre already shunning your sister?â scolded Irene Lynch.
âWhat happens to my sister when she grows up is our familyâs business. It has nothing to do with you, Aunty Lynch.â Mick Reedâs childlike voice was cold. âAlso, you slandered my 313 mommy. You have to apologize to her!â
Grace happened to reach the office door and saw her sonâs tiny body in front of her daughter as he defended her and her daughter. Her heart could not help but melt at the sight.
Mick was a reliable child even though he was usually quiet! As long as he started becoming concerned about someone, he would treat them really well!
www âApologize? Mick, Orielâs your sister too. Donât you like Oriel? Why donât you treat Oriel as your sister anymore? Your mommy must have said something to you, right? Did she tell you to stop being nice to Oriel?â Irene Lynch spoke aggressively.
Oriel Lynch was also looking at Mick Reed with pitiful reddened eyes. âMick, I⦠Iâm your sister too. Why are you only helping her and not me?â
