Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Home Sweet Home

“Wait a minute! I think I’ve just figured it out!” At that moment, something seemed to cross Jameson’s mind. “Jojo, do you think this could be the wedding ring that Dad wants to give Mom? Oh, dear! What is he gonna do without the ring now that it’s with me?”

Nevertheless, Jameson’s words were met with silence, as Joaquin only stared at the ring in silence. “Well, people buy a ring to propose. Since Mom and Dad are not married yet, could Dad be planning to propose to Mom?”

Jameson gently thumped his head and beat himself up. “Oh, man! I shouldn’t have taken the ring! Dad is gonna be so mad when he realizes his ring is missing.”

“Just go to bed now. Keep the ring somewhere safe and give it back to him later on.” Joaquin lay down on the bed straight away.

Meanwhile, Jameson put the ring back into the case and said, “Dad is not good at sweet-talking, so I wonder how he’s gonna propose to Mom. In fact, I think I could do better if I were in his place. Anyway, is Mom gonna cry when she sees the ring?” After mumbling to himself for a while, the little boy eventually dozed off in bed.

In the meantime, Selena began to recognize an important issue ever since the abduction that had happened previously. Earlier on, she refused to enroll Juniper into a kindergarten because she was too young to go to school, not to mention the fact that she hardly had time to spend with her daughter. Nevertheless, she appeared to have changed her mind, as she began to think that it was time to get Juniper enrolled in a kindergarten.

In fact, Selena had once read a book about parenting and learned that a child was meant to grow apart from their mother ever since the moment they were born.

I guess all parents can never get away with the fate of watching their kids move on and leave them behind when the time comes. After all, Juniper’s world shouldn’t be just about me. She ought to expand her social circle and learn as many things as possible. Therefore, I’m grateful that Juniper got to know Pierre and his two sons, or else she wouldn’t have lightened up. At the thought of that, Selena made up her mind to enroll her daughter into Sunflower International Kindergarten after surveying all schools in terms of teaching quality, facilities, and meals.

As soon as they exited the kindergarten, Selena received a call from a number that she hadn’t seen for a long time. At that moment, Selena’s assistant, Linda, and Juniper stopped in their tracks and watched the lady answer her phone. “Alright, understood!” Selena’s smile slowly faded away, but shortly after she hung up the call, she put on a smile again and gazed at her daughter. “Juniper, can you listen to Mommy and go home with Miss Linda?”

“Who just called you, Mom? We promised each other not to tell lies!”

While Selena initially intended to hide the truth from her daughter, Juniper’s innocent look instantly melted her heart. Thus, she came clean and honestly told her everything. “It’s your grandpa.”

Nonetheless, Juniper found the term ‘grandpa’ strange, as Selena had never mentioned anything about Roland to her daughter. Instead, Juniper was more familiar with her grandma because Selena had only talked about her mother in front of her occasionally. Ever since the incident at the bakery shop, she had developed a bad impression on the two women who called themselves her aunt. Therefore, she subconsciously stereotyped her grandpa to be a bad person.

“Is Grandpa gonna bully you? I could come along and protect you.”

“Come on, Juniper! You wanna be my good girl, don’t you? They’re not gonna bully me, so don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”

Fortunately, Juniper didn’t insist on tagging along, as she knew she was just a four-year-old child who could barely even protect herself, let alone her mother. “Okay, Mommy! Please be back early!” After that, Linda took Juniper along with her and left.

“Miss Linda, can you sign me up for a Taekwondo class? I wanna learn Taekwondo so that I can protect Mommy! By then, nobody can bully her!”

Upon hearing those naïve words, Linda rubbed Juniper’s head and said, “Sure.”
