Bang!
After the ambulance door closed, the ambulance drove away, Alice turned to Jack.
“What's the matter with you?”
“What's the matter, Mommy?” Jack looked at Alice innocently.
Looking at Jack, Alice had doubt, but after all he was her son, she knew what he was like.
She squatted down and pinched Jack's face.
“Did you do it on purpose?”
“What are you talking about? I don't understand.”
“Why did you tell the nurse we didn't know him? Clearly you have eaten the cake that he bought last time, and now you said we don’t know him?”
“Mommy! Jack pouted, “I did not say that, I just said to the nurse Uncle Manfred is not our family. Is it wrong? Is Uncle Manfred part of our family? I am not wrong, why do you blame me?”
Alice, “...”
It seemed that Jack had never said that she did not know Manfred, only that Manfred was not one of their families.
And that, of course, was the truth.
She couldn't argue with that.
“Did I say something wrong, Mommy?”
Alice came back to her mind and looked at Jack in front of her. She shook her head, “No, but the nurse thought you said that you do not know Uncle Manfred. Uncle Manfred must be sad to hear that?”
“Yes.” Jack said.
“So why did you say that?”
“But, he is nobody to me, why do I have to care if he is sad or not?”
Alice, “...”
She did not expect that Jack’s idea was completely different from hers, Alice was speechless.
“Mommy, mommy!” Jack shook her arm, “You agreed to find daddy for me. I want daddy, not Uncle Manfred.”
He said in a sweet voice, he looked pitiful that Alice did not bear to refuse him.
“It will be soon.” Alice could only sigh and rub his small head, “I will find you a daddy, you have my words.”
“Really?” Jack was pleased, “So when can I see Daddy? Mommy, you are not fast, I wait miserably.”
“It's my fault, but I will do it as soon as possible. When I decide what to do, you'll have daddy, okay?”
“Ok, but mommy, Yanis said she would come and pick me up, where is her?”
No sooner had he finished than a cry of surprise was heard.
“Jack, Alice, what are you doing here?”
Two people looked for the sound, and saw Yanis running over.
“Yanis, you haven't gone back?”
“Yanis.”
“Ahem......” Seeing Alice, Yanis gave light cough, “I thought you are out with someone. I did not expect you are here, but, you can’t take Jack away. I have agreement with Jack, I will take him to Zain.”
“Zain?” Alice was stunned a while before she said, “He is the strategist you said?”
Yanis went flushed and nodded honestly.
“His relationship with Zain makes him the perfect strategist to me.”
Alice had to push Jack to Yanis, “Ok, you can have your strategist, remember to take him home early in the evening, don't go too late.”
