Chapter 34
Nate attended the most prestigious private kindergarten in all of Streamville, a place where only the children of wealthy and influential families were enrolled. Given the Howard family’s prominent status in the town, it would be inevitable for anyone to marginalize Nate.
“They call me dumb, a bastard,” Nate said, tears welling up in his eyes as he glanced at Natalie with a whisper.
Natalie was stunned.
“Your mom’s a homewrecker, shameless, you’re a little bitch…” Flashbacks from her childhood surged violently through her mind. Natalie knew all too well how devastating bullying could be. But she never imagined that words like “bastard” would come from the mouths of three- or four–year–old children.
Although she didn’t know who Nate’s mother was, he was still recognized as a descendant of the Howard family. How could he be called a bastard?
Perhaps Nate was born through surrogacy, which would explain why he didn’t have a mother. Such arrangements were not
uncommon in the high society.

After a moment of silence, she wrapped her arms around Nate and comforted him softly, “I think Nate is smart. You’re just a little late in starting to talk, that’s all. A dumb kid wouldn’t remember how to get to kindergarten.”
As Natalie spoke, Nate’s tears fell in earnest, and he sniffled, “Then… will you come to pick up me?”
Natalie’s heart softened at his tears, and she gently nodded, “Of course.”
That brought a smile to Nate, and he buried his head in Natalie’s embrace, wiping away his tears and snot before contentedly heading into the kindergarten with his little backpack.
Watching him enter, Natalie turned and walked back to her car.
Just then, another child passed by Nate, who proudly pointed towards the entrance and boasted, “That’s my mommy, see?”
Everyone said he didn’t have a mommy, but he wanted to show them that he did!
As Natalie was about to get into her car, she looked back at him. Nate waved at her from a distance, and she smiled back before driving away.
The child next to Nate looked at him oddly and mocked, “That’s your sister, isn’t it?”
“No, she’s my mommy!” Nate’s face turned flushed as he insisted loudly.
Natalie would come back for him, and then everyone would know!
Natalie had taken Matthew to see the doctor, and it would be a while before the test results were ready. To pass the time, she casually started playing a game on her phone.
Samuel, growing impatient outside, came in and asked, “How much longer?”
“If you don’t want to be here, stop pretending to be the dutiful son,” Natalie couldn’t help but sneer.
Her tone carried a hint of scorn.
