The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 347

Rachel’s expression froze for a split second, but she quickly recovered with a warm smile. “Of course not. Keen has always been an honest boy—he never lies.”

She glanced down at Keen, her gaze softening with affection.

“So, Ms. Cameron, I hope you’ll trust Keen a little more in the future.”

With just a few gentle words, Rachel smoothly shifted the conversation’s focus back to Stella.

Keen, who had been feeling a swirl of complicated emotions toward Rachel, suddenly felt his wounded heart mend at her reassurance.

After being met with coldness from Stella, Rachel’s kindness was like a balm. Eyes filling with tears, he rushed into Rachel’s arms.

Voice trembling with hurt, he complained, “Rachel, that mean kid was picking on me.”

Rachel stroked his hair, her tone soothing. It was easy for her to win over a child like Keen—she barely had to try.

She turned to Stella. “Ms. Cameron, even though you and Haynie are divorced, the fact remains that Keen is your son. That will never change. I hope you can show him a little more care.”

With Rachel by his side, Keen gained a fresh sense of confidence.

Looking up, he asked, “Rachel, what brings you here?”

Rachel’s smile brightened. “Your father mentioned that your kindergarten will soon be holding another parent-child event—a language performance, right?”

Keen nodded, but his shoulders slumped. “I asked Aunt Callie to help, but she told me she isn’t very good with other languages.”
