“What’s the matter, baby?” Natalie asked endearingly. Her gaze rose to meet her son who had walked in.
“This is for you.” Connor approached and passed her the list in his hand.
“What’s this?” Natalie bent over to get a better look at the list. There were various online usernames, and some even looked familiar. Then, it hit her—these are the accounts that egged the scandal!
Natalie suddenly understood his intentions. She placed the list onto her desk, then focused on her son. “Baby, did you give this to Mommy because you want me to press charges against them?”
Connor nodded. “I heard that as long as a hate comment is liked or reposted more than five hundred times, then you can file a case. Mommy, you can’t let them get away with scolding you like this.”
At the sight of her son’s anger and concern for her, a warm feeling blossomed in Natalie’s chest.
She stretched out a hand and petted her son’s little head. “Okay, thank you, Baby. Mommy won’t let you down. I’ll make them pay for their actions.”
Truthfully, even if her little boy did nothing, she was already planning to hire help in compiling the same list for prosecution. After all, I won’t tolerate being scolded for no reason.
But now that her little boy had helped to prepare the list, it saved her time in the prosecuting process.
“Alright, you go ahead and play. Mommy will take care of the rest, so don’t worry about it.” Natalie’s hands gently patted Connor’s shoulder.
Connor nodded understandingly. Just as he was about to leave, the doorbell rang.
Natalie stood up and brought him along to open the door.
Outside, Joyce held Stanley’s hand, supporting him as they waited.
“Hi, Uncle Stanley and Aunt Joyce,” Connor said excitedly. and waved his tiny hand at them.
Natalie was the only one who looked at them in surprise. “Why are you guys here?”
Joyce handed over the snacks she brought to Connor. Then, she responded to Natalie, “The online discussions are blowing up. We got worried about how it is affecting you, so we came to check on you.”
“But you can come over on your own, why’d you bring Stanley along? Has he been discharged from the hospital?” Natalie proceeded to eye Stanley from top to bottom.
Stanley smiled softly. “I’m allowed to be out for half a day, don’t worry.”
“Really?” Natalie’s brows twisted into a frown. Some anxiety still lurked in her mind.
