Chapter 105
Crouching, Meredith opened her arms and hugged Jameson. Inwardly, however, she thought, I’m going to have my own child with Pierre very soon!
“Mommy, our kindergarten is going to have Family Day at the end of the month. Would you attend?” Jameson had been talking about this throughout the drive back.
Sunflower International Kindergarten hosted Family Day every month, and the other children claimed that it was a very lively event with delicious food and fun activities in addition to games. This was the first time Jameson and Joaquin were participating in Family Day, so they were naturally looking forward to it. While Joaquin ignored them, he’d actually been keeping an ear on the conversation.
“What’s Family Day?” Meredith didn’t understand this term.
“It’s a day when parents come to the kindergarten, and everyone will play games, compete with each other, enjoy delicious food, as well as join in fun activities. It’s a day of eating, drinking, and playing! Would you accompany us?”
Meredith’s expression stiffened. Eating, drinking, and playing? I can still vividly recall his countenance when he ate back then. His mouth, face, and body were all stained when he ate, his entire person disgustingly filthy! Also, I’m still having nightmares now from when he vomited all over me when he was sick! Play? He can even demolish the house! I don’t dare challenge such a difficult task.
Without any servants at that time, I’ll be like a maid following behind them. I don’t want that! And as a celebrity, it’ll be even worse if someone snaps a photo of me looking disheveled. Furthermore, Pierre isn’t the type of person who’d attend such an event. “Jamie, I’m very busy, so I can’t make it this time. I’ll accompany you next time, okay?” Her tone was still pretty amiable.
Joaquin continued fiddling with his imitation gun. He’d known that she would never attend Family Day with them, but still, he had a spark of hope earlier.
“Can’t you take leave, Mommy? Even Daddy is taking leave, so why can’t you?” Jameson asked with a pout as he tugged at the corner of Meredith’s blouse.
Meredith shot the petite hand a hateful glance. He’s wrinkling my blouse! She then forcefully pried his fingers away. “I’m truly busy, so I really can’t make it. Jamie, how I wish to accompany you as well.”
At this, Jameson sighed heavily. “Alright, then.”
Meredith was worried that her two sons would pester her, so she lied that she still had something to do and had to leave. I’ve got to prepare for the wedding. There wasn’t much time left since the wedding was set very soon to avoid Pierre finding out about it. It’s just around the corner, so I’ve got to make haste.
When Cora saw her out, Meredith even put on an extremely regretful expression. “At times, I really feel bad about them. I can’t even accompany them to Family Day. Am I an incompetent mother?” As she said that, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Cora hastily comforted her, urging, “Don’t take Family Day and all at the kindergarten to heart, Miss Yard. All those are just activities the kindergarten hosts for the sake of it. Say, every parent is busy, yet they have to go and take part in all those school stuff. In my opinion, it’s all meaningless.”
Meredith flashed her a faint smile. “But I still want to accompany them more.”
“You’re already a good mother, Miss Yard. You’re so busy with work, yet you still take time to come and visit Young Master Jamie and Young Master Jojo. I feel bad for you.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Upon hearing the servant’s words, Meredith finally put on a smile. I don’t need to be a good mother. I just need to be a good mother in other people’s eyes. But I’ll certainly be the perfect mother when I have my own child with Pierre.
As the company had just moved into a new building, there were a lot of cumbersome things to do. For that reason, Selena was the last parent to pick up her child when she arrived at the kindergarten.
