Children were all so simple. They looked at Roy in admiration at once.
They'd thought he was mute, but it turned out he wasn't and he knew much more than they did.
Jane was not surprised at all. When she'd first met Roy in GrandVille Apartments, she knew that this child was not as ill as the doctors had said.
Roy looked much more confident now. He'd been quite bored in the past few days.
And he had not talked to other children.
He was very glad that Jane'd come here to give them a painting class.
But he missed her story class more and hoped she could tell him a story once again.
Jane finished the class smoothly and the children had a good time.
Before leaving, Roy made a gesture to Jane.
Both Vivian and Jane saw it.
Jane just smiled and waved her hand at Roy.
Vivian said, "What is that gesture about?"
"He wants a promise," Jane answered.
Jane didn't want to lie to a boy, neither did she want to have any more contact with Tina's child.
That boy would be so sad after he grew up and found that the person he was so fond of had played a part in his mother's death.
Roy was different from other children already. Jane didn't want to be another frustration in his life.
She hoped they would never meet again.
She wished everything would go well for him.
What had happened between her and his mother Tina had nothing to do with him.
If Roy one day came to her to revenge his mother's death, Jane would face him head-on.
She understood him.
So it was better to stay away from him now.
The boy would soon forget her. He didn't have to know she was the one who had killed his mother.
Jane and Vivian got into the car.
Vivian asked, "Miss, who is that boy? I somehow feel that he knows you."
Vivian was vigilant as usual.
She'd noticed something abnormal.
She'd waited until they were out of the kindergarten to ask her question.
Vivian had never met Roy before and didn't know him.
She just found that kid a little strange.
Jane said, "Find out why Oliver's son is in this kindergarten and who invited me to give a class."
"Oliver's son? You mean Tina's son?"
"Mmm," Jane answered.
Before they'd come, they'd thought it to be an ordinary art class, but Oliver was actually involved in it.
After they returned to Mose Cubhouse, Vivian immediately looked into the matter.
The results were nothing special. It was just that Oliver wanted his son to have a normal childhood.
After Tina had died, Roy only got his father now.
Oliver wanted him to fit in with other children.
Jane had to be wary. She needed to figure out who was the one inviting her to give the class, the kindergarten or Oliver.
What was the purpose of doing that?
Roy might know nothing about it but Oliver must do. She knew he must have played a part in what had happened to the White family but just hadn't confronted him yet.
