"It's this masked kid, Caleb Chase! He embarrassed me at the National Child Genius Competition! Grandma, you have to help me teach him a lesson today."
Hearing Leo's tearful, red-eyed plea, Judith felt her heart clench with fierce protectiveness.
"Don't cry, Leo. Grandma is here. I won't let anyone bully you."
She shifted her cold gaze onto Caleb and Luna. "So, you're the two who bullied my Leo?"
Her tone was sharp, her expression dark.
The two toddlers, who had just been laughing and playing, stopped in their tracks.
Luna stood there holding a colorful balloon, her large, dark eyes wide with shock as she stared blankly at the hostile woman before her.
Her little face was full of confusion. Caleb immediately stepped in front of his sister to shield her.
"Grandma, Leo was the one bullying my sister and me earlier. The Weird Uncle said he needed to be properly disciplined."
Judith looked down at the masked boy. Seeing his serious, composed demeanor, her heart inexplicably gave a sharp tug. A vague, indescribable sense of connection washed over her.
This calm, steady expression and the commanding way he spoke overlapped so perfectly with the memories of her son at that age that she momentarily blanked out.
Seeing her standing there in a daze instead of getting angry and kicking them out, Leo frowned and yelled, "Grandma! Tell them to go away! I don't want to look at them!"
Judith instantly snapped out of it, replacing her brief lapse with a deep scowl. Her tone dropped ominously.
"Did Quinn Avery bring you here?"
Luna spoke up, her sweet voice enunciating every word. "My brother, Godmother, and I were all invited by Grandma Evelyn. Your son—the Weird Uncle—picked us up himself."
Judith was utterly bewildered. *What nonsense is this? Godmother, Grandma Evelyn, and my son?*
When did her son become the 'Weird Uncle' to these toddlers?

I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
