Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352 I Knew That There Was Something Wrong

“Is he still angry, Mommy?” Joaquin asked. A tear nearly rolled down Selena’s cheek the moment she heard her son calling her ‘Mommy’. “I’m so glad that you boys are my children,” she uttered as she gave the young boy a forehead kiss. “Don’t worry. He’s going to stop being angry at you after a while.” Joaquin tried his best to comfort her.

After that, she sat upright and pulled him up onto her lap as she apologized to him. “I’m sorry, Jojo. It feels like I went around in circles for such a long time before I finally found you boys. I always thought that you guys were…” She brushed her tears away. “Forget it. Let’s not talk about the past.”

“I’m the one who should be saying sorry. I’ve always known that there was something wrong with her, but I didn’t voice it out earlier,” he mumbled. She tilted her head and stared at him before he continued with his explanation. “I saw her bringing a cake over for Jamie the last time he had a fever. I knew that he only started to fall sick after he ate that thing.

I wanted to tell Daddy about it, but the maids accidentally threw my proof away, and…” Joaquin started to shake his head as he lowered his voice. Before this, he had always told himself that Meredith suffered ten months of pregnancy for them and that she was their biological mother; this was the reason he kept so many things to himself.

That night was the first time Selena realized how Joaquin wasn’t as emotionless as he portrayed himself to be. He’s actually an emotional child, after all, Selena thought. “Alright, what’s in the past is in the past. Let’s not talk about it anymore, okay?” she asked. In response, Joaquin nodded obediently.

“I have to leave in a while, Jojo,” she said.

“Leave? Where are you going?” he asked.

“I need to bring Jamie home.” Selena glanced at the clock. Her flight was scheduled to leave in two hours, and she had already bought her tickets and arranged to meet up with Hades.

“Aren’t you going to tell Daddy about this?” the young boy asked.
