Jamie answers in vague,” just a worker. Have you ate yet?”
Ian knows that Jamie is trying to change the subject, but he doesn’t expose her, “ Already. I will starve to death if I wait for you home to cook.” Ian says.
“ That’s right. If I come home late, then you just cook and eat first, no need to wait for me, okay?” Jamie feels glad for how Independent Ian is.
“ I know. After all, I can’t count on you.” Ian nods.
Jamie feels embarrassed, she grabs the clothes and heads to the bathroom. Then she thinks of something and goes into Ian’s room, heading out with Ian’s clothes and his superman underwear.
“Mommy, what are you trying to do with my superman underwear?” Ian notices that Jamie has found out his hidden underwear, having a bad feeling for what Jamie is going to do.
“Wash and clean, of course.” Jamie picks Ian up, heads to the bathroom together.
Ian keeps struggling like it’s the end of the world. But just in vain.
In the early morning next day
Jamie is awake by the noise outside. She checks the time, it’s still early but she can’t fall into sleep anymore. So she freshens up and leaves the room.
“Morning, Ian.” Jamie rubs her eyes while she is yawning.
Ian is busy cooking in the kitchen, it seems like he is the ‘mother’
“Morning to you too, Mommy. Today is your first day to work, you need to eat more.” Ian pours a glass of milk and hands it to Jamie.
It seems like that Ian forgets today is Tuesday, so it should be Jamie to do the house chore. In words, Ian gets used to this already.
Jamie feels satisfied and warm with Ian’s breakfast. Get lose, Dan. All she needs is her baby son. Jamie thinks.
“Your cooking skill becomes better. Remember to wash the dishes later.” Jamie says.
Ian almost gets choked by the milk, he says to Jamie,” Mommy, how can you do this to me!”
“Haha, this is what a son for.” Jamie says shamelessly.
“How about the ‘dutiful son’ you said you are going to be?” Ian asks.
Jamie used to say that she will be a ‘dutiful son’, be dutiful to her son. But judging from what happens now, Ian is the dutiful son indeed.
“I have already forgoten that.” Jamie touches her stomach, she has finished a good breakfast.
Jamie drops off Ian to the kindergarten, then goes to work in hurry. Though it’s still early for work, she doesn’t want to come across with Dan. After all, they had a dispute yesterday.
“Jamie?” The director walks to Jamie.
“Morning, Director.” Jamie greets with a smile.
Then Jamie sees the name tag of the director, Shawn Hall.
