Chapter 100 Sam is Teachable
Sam's transfer to Grassland Kindergarten is definitely a good idea. He gets along with Ethan and Emma, and at the kindergarten, the three siblings can help each other and play together. Emma's lively personality can keep Sam company, and Ethan can also guide him.
However, ... If Gabriel were to go to the kindergarten, the chances of encountering Ethan and Emma would greatly increase.
Sophia rarely shows such a serious and solemn expression. The smiles on the two little ones' faces fade, and Emma anxiously holds onto her mommy's hand.
"Ethan and Emma, listen to mommy," she says.
She needs to clarify things with her two precious ones in advance.
"Mommy, go ahead, my little sister and I will listen," Ethan predicts that mommy is about to tell them the truth.
Sophia lowers her voice, "I really like Sam, but Sam's daddy is a big bad guy. If you ever see Sam's daddy in the future, make sure to stay far away and don't let him see your faces, understand?"
Ethan and Emma blink their eyes, realizing that mommy isn't about to reveal the truth.
But they already knew that Sam's daddy is their daddy as well.
Mommy must still have concerns, which is why she didn't tell them.
Ethan and Emma exchange a silent glance and obediently nod.
"Also, even though Sam's daddy is a bad guy, you mustn't bully Sam because of it. He is him, and his daddy is his daddy. It's not fair to judge everyone the same way."
"Yeah, we understand."
Sophia hugs her two little treasures.
"Alright, go and play. Mommy will cook for you."
"Yeah, I'll help mommy in the kitchen."
Ethan goes to the kitchen to help, while Emma helps tidy up in the living room.
Under normal circumstances, Emma would surely ask why they need to hide from Sam's daddy, and she might even raise her little fist and demand to teach that bad guy a lesson.
But now that they know the truth, they must cooperate well with mommy and not give her any worries.
Sophia's heart is in a panic and anxious, and she overlooks these small details.
She wants to take the three children abroad as soon as possible, but Sam's situation is not suitable at the moment.
She can only take it one step at a time.
"Hiss..." Sophia accidentally cuts her finger, and a drop of blood instantly falls onto the cutting board, staining it with red plum blossoms.
"Mommy, what happened to you?" Ethan keenly hears the sound and looks over.
"It's nothing."
Sophia puts her hand under the faucet and lets the water run for a while. When she's about to get a Band-Aid, Ethan has already rushed over and grabbed one.
"Mommy, let me help you put it on."
"Okay." Sophia's lips curl into a warm smile.
While Ethan puts the Band-Aid on her, he imitates the way she used to put Band-Aids on them, blowing gently.
"Mommy said we're still kids, but look, mommy, you cut your hand too." Ethan, acting like a little grown-up, scold’s mommy with concern, hoping to give her a lesson not to be absent-minded while cutting vegetables.
"Mommy was wrong, mommy will pay attention in the future."
Sophia cooperated actively to admit her mistake.
"Humph, Mommy, go rest. I'll do the cutting."
"No, you can't. You're not strong enough. Mommy promises to be careful this time."
Ethan was very worried and sighed, "Okay then, Mommy, be careful."
"Thank you, baby."
Ethan walked out of the kitchen, with a furrowed brow.
How can he make Mommy trust him and Emma to not be discovered by their bad father, Gabriel?
Sophia adjusted her emotions and started cooking efficiently.
She still couldn't tell the truth to the two children. She was afraid that they would want a father too much, afraid that they would want to recognize Gabriel themselves. Would she be able to stop them at that time?
Once Gabriel knows the truth, she would be left with nothing.
"Thunk!" Sophia firmly chopped on the cutting board, determination in her eyes.
Regardless, she must protect her three children!
Defeat Gabriel!
During dinner, Ethan quietly observed Mommy and noticed that she had regained her mood. He no longer felt melancholic, so as not to let Mommy discover that he had something on his mind. Mommy still had to worry about him.
When Emma wasn't live streaming, she would occasionally share games on Weibo.
Now she had become a famous game streamer with millions of fans. Many wanted her to do promotions during her streams, but Emma refused all of them and made it clear that she wouldn't do promotions.
Although doing promotions would bring in more money, it would go against her original intention and attract more competitors. They were still children after all, and some things were not convenient to handle. So, it's better to keep a low profile and just be a game streamer.
Sophia wasn't busy with work tonight and dedicated her time to reading with the two children, enjoying a night of quality time with them.
The next morning, Margaret urgently called her to the office.
"There's a small problem with your clothes at the factory in city D, and they need your technical guidance. It's estimated to take three days."
A business trip?
She...
"Is there any difficulty?" Margaret noticed that she seemed hesitant.
Margaret didn't know she was a single mother, and she hadn't told anyone. But if she were to say it now, what if it accidentally reached Gabriel's ears one day? With Gabriel's sensitive and suspicious nature, he would definitely investigate, and at that time...
No! Every opportunity for Gabriel to know the truth must be suppressed!
"No problem. When do I leave?" Sophia asked casually.
"Preferably today. The company will book your flight tickets, so hurry back and pack your things."
"Alright."
Sophia occasionally had business trips overseas, and Ethan and Emma would be taken care of by Caroline. But now that she was in the country, Vincent was the only person she could trust with the children.
Vincent readily agreed when he received Sophia's call.
The two children would definitely be worried when they came home and didn't see her. So after packing, Sophia made a special trip to the kindergarten to personally instruct the two little ones.
"You have to listen to Godfather, okay?
"I know, Mommy, we'll miss you," Emma reluctantly hugged Sophia.
Sophia looked around and saw Sam at the classroom door.
Sam also looked over and she wanted to say a few words to him, but considering his condition, Sophia ultimately restrained herself.
"Does Mommy want to talk to Sam?" Ethan immediately noticed.
"No need, you two get along well at school," Sophia withdrew her gaze.
"Yeah, we will. Sam even teaches me how to draw," Ethan said.
After Sophia gave her instructions hurriedly, she left. Ethan crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.
Back in the classroom, Ethan pulled Sam aside.
"It seems like my mommy is avoiding you. Did you guys have a fight?"
Sam shook his head in confusion, saying, "No."
"What's going on then?"
Ethan continued to ponder.
After thinking for a while, Sam said, "Maybe Daddy doesn't want Aunt Kelly to see me."
"Why?"
Sam hesitated for a long time and finally disclosed that he had been pretending to be sick.
Ethan was stunned. He didn't expect his innocent little brother, Sam, to learn how to hide things too. Truly, even a child can teach us something.
He patted Sam's shoulder and said approvingly, "Well done. In front of bad people, we need to be good at disguising ourselves and not let them see through us."
