For no reason, hearing that he refused me, I felt more at ease instead.
Early the next morning, Jason came early as usual.
However, I found that he hadn't gotten changed.
In the past, every time he came to my house, he would wear different T-shirts. However, this time, the one he wore was the same as that yesterday.
Moreover, he had a few dark circles below his eyes.
Realizing something, I asked, "You didn't go back to school last night, right?"
Upon hearing that, Jason immediately denied it, "No. I caught up with the last bus."
I sized his clothes up and said, "You haven't changed your clothes. How come you still want to lie to me?"
Hearing that I exposed him, Jason was so shy that his ears turned slightly red, saying, "Well... I didn't catch up with the last bus. So I went to a small hotel and stayed there last night."
I saw that he didn't sleep well.
All in all, it was all my fault. I had come back home too late last night.
Feeling a little embarrassed, I said, "Come up."
"What's that?"
"Come upstairs."
My voice sounded a little tough.
Jason quickly followed me upstairs. I opened the door to a guest bedroom and said to him, "In the future, if you can't go back to school in time, you can live in this room. There is a wardrobe inside where you can put your clothes. Use the washing machine as you like. Just hang your clothes on the balcony. The bathroom and the shower room for guests are located at the end of the corridor."
"Well, I feel so sorry for troubling you that much..."
Jason raised his hand and scratched his head.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Spend more time with Glenn at night so that I can be relaxed a little."
At this time, Glenn also woke up.
Glenn walked out of his room. Upon seeing that Jason and I both stood at the door of the guest bedroom, he blinked his eyes and asked, "Brother Jason, are you going to live here from now on?"
"Yes. If your mom comes back home late, I will..."
"Great!" Before Jason could finish his words, Glenn rushed over right away and pulled his hand,
"Brother Jason, can we go to play the racing game?"
"No. You have to finish reciting the words I've arranged for you after breakfast. Only after that can you do that."
Jason spoke with a firm attitude.
During this period, besides accompanying Glenn to have fun, Jason taught him mathematics and French.
Within two weeks only, Glenn could recite dozens of French words.
Sometimes, during breakfast, he would point at some vegetables and fruits and speak in French
I was too busy at work on usual days to pay attention to his study.
Glenn took Jason's words quite seriously. He nodded and said, "Well, let's go to have breakfast quickly."
After he said that, he hopped downstairs happily.
Seeing that Glenn was so happy, I was really grateful to Paulina in my heart for the fact that she had introduced such a good male nanny, Jason Baker, to me.
Originally, Jason and I acknowledged that only when I came back home late would Jason stay at my house.
But Glenn, the little troublemaker, refused to let him go. He hugged his legs and said, "Mom, did you forget what Dad ever said? Don't waste time that you shouldn't have wasted."
"What's that?"
"In this way, you are wasting both my time and Brother Jason's time." Glenn said eloquently, "If Brother Jason stays here, he surely will have a better rest. Then he can have extra time to focus on his study as well as teach me. There are a lot of things that I don't understand. I have to ask him!"
In fact, I knew in my heart that instead of learning many things from Jason, Glenn wanted Jason to play many games and Lego pieces with him!
I didn't want to expose Glenn. After all, judging from the current situation, it seemed that Jason, who was quite responsible, wouldn't allow Glenn to have fun all the time.
I looked at Jason and asked, "Why don't you go back today and bring your clothes here tomorrow? Then you can live here."
