Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

“I want to eat the pineapple rice from the pretty lady.” Jameson gulped at the thought of Selena’s tasty cooking.

Pierre was stuck in a difficult situation. That night, it took him a lot of effort to get Selena’s consent to sleep with him, only to have his plans ruined by Jameson’s sudden fever. However, if he brought Jameson to visit Selena, he would lose the upper hand in the game. Selena is shrewd and she’d definitely attempt to negotiate with me! NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Later, when Cora came upstairs with a bowl of hot soup, the father and son were gone from the room!

On Selena’s side, after much consideration, she decided to bring Juniper to visit Jameson. She was caught between her conflict with Pierre and Juniper’s sincere concern for a friend, but the scale in her heart tipped in favor of Juniper’s case. For her daughter, she was willing to endure the embarrassment in meeting with Pierre.

Meanwhile, Jude only stayed over for a night before returning to the filming set. It turned out that she was briefly in Astoria for a shooting. Hence, later that day, Selena dressed Juniper up to head out. Due to the cold weather, she wrapped Juniper in many layers until the little girl waddled around like a penguin.

“Juniper, are you sure you want to visit Jameson? Are you not angry at him anymore?”

Juniper nodded earnestly. “Yes, I am not mad at him anymore. Mr. Handsome’s mistake has nothing to do with the two boys. I really hope that he will get better soon.”

Pleased, Selena caressed the bangs on Juniper’s forehead. “Good girl. Let’s go.”

Then, Juniper held her mother’s hand, and the idea of meeting her friend soon cheered her up greatly.

When they opened the door to leave, however, they bumped into Pierre, whose hand was frozen mid-air in an attempt to press the doorbell. Selena stared wide-eyed at him, and he returned a blank stare at her. The expressions on their faces were amusing to watch, and an awkward air lingered around them.

“Jamie!” Juniper jumped excitedly and gave him a big hug. “Are you feeling better?”

Thanks to the children, the awkwardness between the adults dissolved in no time. Then, Selena quickly pulled Jameson into the warmth of the house. “Come in now. It’s freezing out there.”

In the meantime, Pierre followed Jameson into the house even though he was uninvited.

The moment the boy was inside the house, Selena was already at work. She deftly peeled off the layers of winter clothing on Juniper and helped Jameson to take off his jacket as well. Now that she had taken a closer look at the boy, she noticed his drastically thinner figure and felt sorry for him. Even though she knew that the twins were Meredith’s children, she did not have the heart to hold grudges against the kids just because she had a conflict with their parents.

Then, she felt his forehead for his body temperature and commented, “You are still running a high fever—at least 38 degrees Celsius and above. You need to take medicine. Have you been to the hospital?”

Although she did not look at Pierre at all, he understood that she was addressing the question to him. “Our family doctor has performed a check-up on him. He likely has Roseola, but it is not a confirmed diagnosis yet.”

Hearing that, Selena sighed in relief. “If it’s Roseola, that is not a major concern at all. When his fever goes down and he develops rashes, he will recover fully, but he still needs to take paracetamol now.” Next, she grabbed a thermometer to measure Jameson’s body temperature. Indeed, just like she had guessed, his temperature was hovering around 38 degrees. Hence, she quickly found some paracetamol and made Jameson take it.

Perhaps due to the change in environment, Jameson was more cheerful even though he was still feverish. “I want pineapple rice,” he told Selena, looking at her with puppy eyes.

In response, she sighed and rubbed his head. “No, pineapple rice is too heavy for you because you’re sick now. How about this? I will make you something nice. Is that cool? You will not be disappointed.”

“Mommy is super good at cooking. You tried her food before, didn’t you?” Juniper said.

To that, Jameson nodded in agreement and waited to be served. Soon, the two kids were playing happily together, while Selena left Pierre alone in the living room and busied herself in the kitchen. Having nothing to do, he leaned against the sofa, feeling left out.
