“I’m very good at it, you know.”
Vania often cut her boys’ hair, so this was nothing to her.
However, she didn’t have all the tools she needed, so she had to make do for now and give him a proper cut when they returned to Hammond.
Very quickly, she trimmed it into neat short hair, and he instantly looked much more refreshed like a new boy.
At that, Vania smiled. “Well, what do you think?”
Jude looked at the boy in the mirror with incredulity. Was that really him?!
It had been a long time since he last saw his reflection. He couldn’t believe the person inside the mirror was him!
He subconsciously reached his hand out to the mirror, and the cool sensation had him instantly withdrawing and lowering his head like he had done wrong.
To his surprise, Vania didn’t reprimand him and said, “You did everything superbly. Go ahead and explore. You have my support.”
As she spoke, she fixed his shirt and hair before holding his hand. “You’re all set. Let’s go outside.”
Just then, the doorbell rang, causing the little guy to tremble in fear.
With that, Vania grabbed his hand and soothed him. “It’s okay. Someone’s just outside. Out of courtesy, they would press the doorbell to notify the person in here. If you visit others at their home in the future, you have to do this too.”
Jude got the gist of her words, but he had no clue what a doorbell was or what it was for. Surely he’d make a fool of himself if he went to another person’s home.
Vania brought him to the door, and Jude reflexively retreated, worried that someone had come for him.
Meanwhile, Vania stood in front of him and opened the door to reveal it was Leo and Henry.
Jude remembered seeing them, so he relaxed at once.
