The Masterpiece of Leaving：Prepared A Perfect Stand-In For Him novel Chapter 60

Although I didn't think deeply about it, my heart was suddenly struck as if someone had pulled a thread, causing a sharp pain!

Yet I didn't dwell on it and was taken directly to Starlight Media by Fredrica.

Iris was also there.

Due to the chaos caused by the Spencer family, I was afraid of any potential trouble, so I didn't send Iris to school that day.

Iris was led by Thomas.

"Mummy!" She quickly rushed into my arms. Even though it had only been a few hours, she missed me dearly.

I lowered myself to catch her small body, feeling the soft and tender touch in my embrace, and my once frozen heart softened instantly.

"Is Iris being good? Didn't you disturb Uncle Thomas's livestream?" I asked gently.

"Not at all," Thomas replied on Iris's behalf, his voice clear and gentle.

It inexplicably reminded people of the clear spring in a mountain stream.

His fair and clean face showed a hint of concern for me. When he looked at me, his eyes curled in a way that was just right, not offensive.

"Mummy, Iris is being really good," Iris chimed in.

In fact, after hanging out with John and Fredrica for some time, Iris's temperament had changed quite a bit, becoming mischievous and lively.

But she wanted Thomas to be her dad.

Iris thought that if she behaved well, Thomas would like her more.

"Uncle Thomas is handsome and gentle. He can also do difficult dances on the ice. Iris praised Thomas endlessly, glancing at me with her big eyes.

It was clear that she was trying to promote Thomas to me.

I understood her little scheme but pretended not to notice, gently booping her nose and saying, "Mummy has something to tell you."

Iris reluctantly waved to Thomas, "Goodbye, Uncle Thomas."

Fredrica felt a bit jealous and said, "Even at such a young age, she knows to be infatuated with handsome guys and forget her friends."

Iris pouted and ran over to give Fredrica's nose a peck. "I haven't forgotten my godmother. See, I only kiss you like this; I've never kissed Uncle Thomas."

Indeed, she reserved the kisses for her mommy.

Fredrica chuckled, feeling satisfied. She playfully returned the kisses on Iris's little face and then nudged her gently, "Go inside with mommy now."

I took Iris into Fredrica's dedicated office.

I closed the door.

Settling Iris on a chair, I gently pressed her small shoulders and spoke up, "Mommy has talked things through with the Spencer family today. From now on, they won't take you away anymore."

"Really?" A visible relief washed over Iris's little face.

The memories left by the Spencer family during their last encounter were too unpleasant, making her even more resentful of them.

"Mommy, were they not bullying you?" She immediately expressed her concern.
