Chapter 83: You’re the Cause of All My Misfortune (3)
Zhao Youlin was in a foul mood. The cliche trope of her running into her ex when she went out had actually turned out true. However, the feeling instantly faded the mont she arrived ho and saw her son hugging Sparta on the couch as they watched television together.
On the couch, her son’s and the pet’s ears perked up as soon as they heard the sound of the door opening. Both of them turned their heads around and looked in the direction of the entrance.
After they identified her, their equally big eyes sparkled as one. They slid down the couch and rushed over to Zhao Youlin.
“Mommy…” Joy buried himself in her arms and nuzzled against her. anwhile, Sparta followed closely behind him and kept wagging its tail to welco its owner with glee.
When Zhao Youlin slled her son’s faint milky scent, the slightest bit of displeasure left in her completely vanished.
Zhao Youlin lowered her head and kissed the little angel in her arms. She asked gently, “Joy, did you behave well when you were ho alone? Did you brush your teeth and finish the bread and milk?”
Joy nodded proudly. He sounded like an adult, “Mommy, I’ve finished the breakfast you left for . Moreover, I’ve also fed Sparta.”
Zhao Youlin could not resist Joy’s cutesy look when he raised his head. She lowered her head and kissed his forehead. She said, “Good boy, Joy.”
“Hehe!” Joy smiled contentedly when he received the complint.
Sparta was behind him. When it saw its owner had been praised, it refused to be left out and whined several tis. It looked at Zhao Youlin pitifully with its pair of big clear eyes. It looked extrely grief-stricken.
Zhao Youlin did not know if she should laugh or cry when she saw her precious two babes. She reached out to caress the puppy’s head and praised it, “Sparta, you kept Joy company and played with him at ho. So, you’re also a good boy.”
Sparta seed to understand what she said. It shuddered. It scampered happily to Zhao Youlin and ran around her.
Originally, Joy had also wanted to join them. But, when he caught sight of the hint of red on the back of Zhao Youlin’s hand, he exclaid in shock, “Mommy… Mommy… You’re bleeding!”
Zhao Youlin froze. She lowered her head and looked at the wound that had stopped bleeding. She grumbled to herself. She was so angry that she had forgotten to bandage it before she returned ho. Joy would be sad again when he saw this.
“T-This… Actually, this isn’t blood, Joy.”
“This isn’t blood?” Joy tilted his head and asked in puzzlent.
“Yes. This is just ketchup. I didn’t have my breakfast when I went out this morning. So, I accidentally got ketchup on my hand when I bought sothing to eat. I never noticed it. Joy, you’ve got sharp eyes. You spotted it at just a single glance.”
Children were very innocent especially when they fully trusted their parents.
Joy frowned and after thinking over it for so ti, he nodded and said, “Oh, so it’s ketchup! Mommy, I also want to eat ketchup next ti!”
Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh of relief when Joy cald down. She said, “Sure. I’ll bring you to have so next ti. Now, Joy, play with Sparta first. I need to wash my hands and change my clothes before coming back to play with you.”
“Mhm mhm…” Joy did not continue pestering Zhao Youlin. He turned around and ran toward his beloved pet.
After sending Joy away, Zhao Youlin brought out the first aid kit from her house and put a bandage on the back of her hand. Imdiately after, she opened the docunt file to see what the detective had found.
After she took out the carbon paper from the inside and read the first page, Zhao Youlin… froze like a statue.
