"I want to know his name," Beatrice said."But he doesn't want to tell you. You have to respect his wish," Coco urged."Oh." Beatrice pouted and let go of her hand reluctantly. Then, she turned a wide grin at him, "Anyway, I'm sure you'll tell me your name one day!"Beatrice was filled with confidence, as if certain this would happen one day.Lexington frowned and grunted before leaving with the other children. Not far away, the bodyguards followed the children.Then, it was time for the parents to check on their kids and lecture them.Serenity and Jackson were the busiest among them. All their four children had been involved in the fight, after all. Fortunately, the youngest, Eden, had only called for help instead of participating in the fight.According to Eden, she had wanted to join the fight after calling for help, but her sister, Jacqueline, had held her back. Jacqueline said Eden would be in the way, and the older kids would have to divide their attention into protecting
Meanwhile, with the Gomez family. Beatrice had been thinking about her playground trip after coming home to the villa.When Coco was bathing Beatrice, the little girl gave her mother a pleading look and asked, "Mommy, I got into a fight today… Does that mean I can't go to the playground?""I really want to go… Can you give me another task? I'll do it properly!" Beatrice tried to bargain."Mommy and Daddy will take you to the new playground, just like we promised," Coco said softly."Really?" Beatrice's eyes lit up."Yes," Coco promised. "Although it was wrong for you to get into a fight, you did it to defend Mommy. You're braver than I ever thought you could be."Beatrice's cheeks flushed with some embarrassment. "I'm brave? Mommy, really?""Yes. Beatrice, you're a brave girl." Coco was shaken to the core when she learned that the three-year-old Beatrice had fought the other kids to defend her."But you mustn't fight like that again, okay? Because if you get hurt, it'll make
"Yeah," Coco replied. "I'm afraid Beatrice will encounter more of this because of my leg."Pain and heartache exploded in Coco's chest as she saw her daughter's injuries earlier. Thank goodness it was just some light scratches. What would she do if her daughter's injuries were any more serious?And this might be just the beginning. What about the future? Beatrice would grow up with people calling her mother a cripple. Would Beatrice have to fight every time whenever people called her mother names?After all, Coco's leg would not recover, and it would stay like this for the of her life.Coco thought everything would be fine as long as she faced her fears bravely, but her condition was affecting her daughter."Don't overthink it," Lucas soothed, fearing Coco would blame herself for something beyond her control. "Beatrice will learn her lesson. Fighting doesn't work, and there are better ways to shut someone up. Besides…" Lucas paused, staring at his wife intently. "You are Beatric
After this incident, Lisa realized her daughter was different than she thought. Her daughter loved to join in the fun, but she assumed her daughter would run faster than anyone else, especially in case of danger. It seemed she was a bit biased and did not understand her daughter well enough."I-I had to help Beatrice! I can't let Beatrice get hurt!" Renee said in her defense."Beatrice is only three years old. And how old are you?" Lisa scolded in annoyance."I'm only eight," Renee answered, trying to remind her mother that she was still a baby too.Lisa almost choked on the sorry look on Renee's face."Okay, okay. Renee knows she was wrong. Don't lecture her anymore." Terry finally spoke up and said something for his daughter.Fortunately, the group fight ended without causing too much of a big deal. If it had been any worse, their families might have gone directly against the group of secretive families, and things would end badly."Renee. Have you learned your lesson?" Terr
Renee had been a huge fan of Sleepy Cat for two years. She watched the Sleepy Cat animated series every day and owned a variety of Sleepy Cat merchandise. So when she heard that there would be a Sleepy Cat exhibition in Solaria, she was beyond excited! Many of her classmates planned to attend, and she was no exception. In fact, she intended to bring all the pocket money she saved up in her piggy bank to buy as much Sleepy Cat merchandise as possible!Renee was definitely a very passionate Sleepy Cat fan."But... I’ve already told my classmates that I’m going to the Sleepy Cat exhibition!" Renee protested."Then you can tell them tomorrow that you’re not going," Lisa replied."No, you can't do this, Mommy! You yourself are always fangirling over handsome celebrities! Why can’t I go to the Sleepy Cat exhibition?" Renee shouted.Lisa was taken aback. She stole a peek at her husband. "Nonsense, Mommy doesn’t fangirl over handsome celebrities!""That's a lie! A few days ago, I saw
Terry stepped closer to Lisa and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Enough with the lies. How exactly did you manage to buy the photo album?""Um..." Lisa confessed, "I bought it from a scalper." She hadn’t been able to secure one at launch."A scalper?" Terry couldn’t help but smile wryly. "How much did you have to overpay by?""I... um, $600. You wouldn’t believe how tough the bargaining was. That scalper was so stubborn! I haggled for ages and only managed to lower it by $50. He originally wanted $650 extra. I had such a hard time..." Lisa tried to change the subject to the difficulties of her negotiation.Renee had a habit of suddenly shifting conversations to other topics too, a trait she had clearly inherited from her mother."Wow, how generous of you. You let the scalper make $600 off you for the sake of Cooper Pitt," Terry remarked.Lisa paused and observed her husband. Could he be... jealous?!"Oh, not at all! It's not that much money," she said sheepishly. "I promise,
"Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?" Morgan asked."No more fighting, I promise!" Renee quickly
Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'
