“Pudding, who am I?“
Jeremy knelt and asked the little guy. The little guy blinked his innocent and pure big eyes and looked at Jeremy seriously. “Daddy! “
The little guy called out the word “Daddy“ accurately.
Jeremy’s heart seemed to melt in an instant. As he looked at his soft and cute son, he felt sad again.
He was too embarrassed to recall the scene where Madeline gave birth to a Pudding.
He never felt that he was a qualified father.
He had never fulfilled his responsibilities as the father of his three children.
“Pudding knows how to say ‘Mommy’ and ‘Daddy’ so soon. He’s so much smarter than Jack. Jack only knew how to say ‘Mommy’ after a long time, “ Karen joked and laughed.
Jackson pouted proudly. “Because that evil woman isn’t my mother, so I didn’t want to call her my mommy.“
Jackson’s explanation made Karen silent for a while, at the same time, she felt a little embarrassed too.
In the beginning, Jackson had been bullied by Meredith. Moreover, as her mother-in-law, Karen had also been responsible for adding fuel to the fire when Madeline had been wronged.
Madeline felt Karen’s discomfort and saw that Jeremy was also blaming himself. She picked up Pudding and smiled lovingly at Jackson. “Jack is really smart. When everyone hated me, you still stood by my side.“
She smiled and touched his head.
“So, Jack and Pudding are smart little babies.“
“Then, Mommy, do you like me more, or do you like Pudding more?“ Jackson blinked and asked Madeline this difficult question.
