The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 13

Now it was up to him to find her. He was on his own.

"Aren't you busy today?"

Nicole held Jay's hand. She slowly walked towards Baron and climbed into his car.

Looking at the slightly unnatural side face of Nicole, Baron was a little confused and asked casually,

"What happened to your face? Are you hot?"

The whole day had gone by. The heavy makeup slid off her face, and the injured side was a little reddish.

"Oh, that! Don't worry about that. Just a little bite from a dog I encountered."

Nicole glowered at Baron shortly and then turned to look at Jay in the back seat breaking into a sycophantic smile.

"The sandwich made by Jay is amazingly lip smacking. Mommy has not eaten enough yet.

Someone grabbed one from me."

Jay looked away instantly and refused to pay any attention to such conversations.

Humph! He could not forget at any cost that his stupid mother even let her get hurt. He still had a lot to ask and discuss with his mother. Just because he did not mention it did not mean that it was no more on his mind. Now that she was discovered by Baron, she tried to fool him too.

She didn't take him seriously at all. It was evident from the attitude!

"You can eat two at a time. But remember if you eat too much at once, you might end up having a stomachache or even get sick," Jay said.

She would often have an upset stomach, so Jay made it a point to control her diet all the time.

It'd already a very difficult task for a six-year-old child to be able to be self-disciplined. However, when he looked at Nicole, he knew that she too was his responsibility no matter the age.

"Don't think that I will be flattered by these unnecessary compliments! I am really angry right now!"

"How about I cook your favorite braised fish tomorrow? Will you quit being so annoyed with me?"

Nicole frowned and made a funny expression . She tried to make the situation as light as possible, but he wasn't up for all these at the moment.

"A gentleman never bends his back for a bushel of rice. Don't try to allure me like this."

The exchange turned out to be extremely hilarious to Baron.

"Hahaha!" Baron finally burst out catching for breath.

The mother-son duo amazed him beyond limits. It was as if there was a role reversal and one would doubt as to who was who!

"Don't laugh at me," Nicole snapped.

Nicole was pretty much tired with all that coaxing, so she temporarily gave up on trying to persuade Jay and apologizing. It seemed that she would have to be taught by her son when she returned home.

When other children were receiving their parents' education, the situation was opposite here. Nicole had already started to accept the education of Jay.

Girls cannot come home late and that would put them in danger. This was what Jay had told Nicole.

She felt upset thinking what lesson she would get from Jay this time.

"What mistake did you make again?"

In Manhattan, Baron had been the direct witness of this for a number of years. Even today it was still the same.
