Madam Caroline stared wide-eyed at the TV channel that was announcing the ongoing events regarding Piper, Kimberly, Rex, and Maverick.
Kill her, but she would never believe that Rex and Maverick would ever recognize Piper. How dare those children!
Nonetheless, a smile crept into her lips. Now that they’ve recognized Piper, it ans they’ve also accepted her.
However, who is Kimberly and when did she beco Lu Ren’s sister? She picked up her phone and made a call.
"Find out who Kimberly Lu is and where she’s from."
After the call, she picked up her bag and left the house.
In the car, her Chauffeur asked; "Ma’am, where are we heading?"
"To my son’s mansion."
...
anwhile, Maverick and his son were holding a staredown contest in Maverick’s office.
After a while, Maverick broke the silence, "What was that for?"
"I spoke to my mom’s manager and forced her to allow my mom to spend so ti with . Why would you get involved? If you wanted her so much, what stopped you from doing what I did?"
"Was that why you ruined the picnic?" Maverick narrowed his eyes.
"I didn’t ruin it, you did."
"Oh?" Maverick folded his arms on his chest and leaned back to rest on his chair. "Explain."
Valen’s countenance changed and he sighed. "Dad, you’re bullying too much. Am I not your son... or do you have another child outside?" he narrowed his eyes.
Seeing Maverick didn’t respond nor was buying his sches, the child sighed again.
"You’ve made old in just one year and six months. If I’m not careful, I’ll grow gray hair before you."
"Stop beating around... Explain."
"Fine, I’ve beco a child who cannot voice his wants anymore... I told Mom to go on a picnic with and you ruined it."
Maverick raised a brow, still not understanding where his son was going.
"Although I said I don’t want a female sibling, I never said I wanted to be an only child." He pouted, obviously lying.
The corner of Maverick’s lips curled up and his eyes bead with smiles but didn’t say anything.
"Dad," Valen walked around the table and grabbed his thigh. "Stop bullying . It’s not healthy for a child like . I grew up without love and care for 6 years. Now that I only want so ti with my mum, you keep getting in the way. It’s not fair."
The smile disappeared from Maverick’s lips and his eyes changed. "You an you don’t want around my wife?" His voice deepened.
"Ahm, I didn’t an it that way but since you’re so generous, your son will be forever grateful," He smiled with his eyes.
He was the reason his mother is living with them and not going to work for a few days now. Ever since his mother returned, his father had been suppressing him and stealing her attention away, but not anymore.
He’s also a man, just like his father. Just that he’s shorter than his father but as a man, size shouldn’t be a barrier. He thought.
"How do you see Country Z’s boarding school? Do you want more ti to do research?" Maverick asked with his brow raised.
Valen swallowed. This was what he was scared of but he was ready for this bully.
"Actually, I spoke to your wife before coming here, and here’s what she had to say." Valen brought out his phone and played a voice record.
"Mom, I’m not feeling well."
"What’s wrong my son!"
"I feel so sad and uninterested in everything. I don’t sleep at night nor do I participate in school activities. Most of all, I’m not repulsed by the thought of death."
"Ah! What happened to you, my child?!" Jeslyn’s voice raised a tad higher, evident she panicked.
"I don’t know but I spoke to Uncle Matt and he said it’s a symptom of loneliness."
"You an you’re depressed? How is that possible?!"
"Yes! That was the word Uncle Matt said. ’Depressed.’ We talked about it and he said I should put you on the line."
Valen smiled faintly as he saw his father’s furrowed brows. The record stopped there, so he kept his phone away. "Long story short, Uncle Matt said that I need my mum’s love and attention. So Mom said I won’t be going away from her until I’m well... which includes sleeping on the sa bed. So, Dad, I ca to tell you that Mom will be sleeping in my room from now on."
Maverick ignored those words and dialed Doc Matt’s number. After a while of ringing, he said; "Did you run a test on Valen?"
"No, why?"
"Then, how did you co up with such a diagnosis?"
"Oh, that, I asked him a few questions which he answered truthfully, so–"
"You made a diagnosis with a seven years old’s words? Matt, you’re starting to display incompetency and–"
"Hold it there! What nonsense are you spouting? You can kill but don’t you dare doubt my dical skills!!"
Valen chuckled cutely when he heard that. He was ready for his father and nothing this man would do that would make him lose. Hehe.
"Fine then, the dical association should be the judge of–"
"Mav! What do you want?" Doc Matt conceded. He knew Valen was not depressed but had to do what the child wanted. He also felt it was an of Maverick to deprive Valen of his mother’s love and attention.
"Tell my wife that sending her son to the boarding school would help his ntal health."
"Ah?" Doc Matt ended the call and switched off his phone. He refused to be used by those two.
The fuming Valen stamped his small feet on the ground and roared with his cute voice; "Dad! You are callous and a bully!!"
Maverick nodded, "I’m proud. Thank you for your complint."
Valen narrowed his Phoenix eyes and said, "I’ll get you back for this."
"You’re welco."
The child snorted and matched out of his office.
Maverick’s lips curled into a smile and shook his head.
