NovelEnglishChapter 1717 Joey walked over to Bryan and Christine to see how they were getting on with their handwriting practice. It was then he saw a bag of unopened potato chips next to them each.
Joey had asked specifically for this specific type of potato chip from Corinne a while ago, but she told him they had run out of it.
'Didn't Mommy say we don't have that kind of potato chips already? Where did Bryan and Christine get them from? Did Mommy secretly keep it for them, and that was why she toldwe had run out?' he wondered.

"Mister Joey, where are you going? Miss Corinne was asking about you just now," said the maid when she finally noticed.
"l... I'm going back to my room," answered Joey listlessly. After that, he went back to the nursery with his drooping shoulder and back, cutting a lonesfigure.
The maid thought Joey was acting a little weird. However, she did not think much about it as she was busy looking after Bryan and Christine.
Two hours later, Corinne finally cout of Pamela's room. The old lady did not ask her anything. She just kept telling her about the recent dreams she had, of which every one of them had to do with Jeremy. Pamela sorely missed Jeremy, and she thought she would find a kindred spirit in Corinne.
Corinne noticed Pamela's complexion was looking a little too pale for comfort, so she stayed behind to give her a head massage. After that, she talked to her until she fell asleep.
Corinne went back to the room where Bryan and Christine were. They had both fallen asleep. The maids told her both kids dozed off halfway through their handwriting practice, and seeing that they had done well, they carried the two kids to bed to let them continue sleeping.
Corinne sat by the window to watch the two kids sleep. Suddenly, she sighed tiredly, and thought, 'l hope they'll get along with each other more and fight less.’ She then turned to the maid and asked, "Where's Joey?” "He chere just now to take a look and went back to his room after that, " answered the maid.

Corinne straightened Bryan and Christine's blankets, instructed the maids to keep an eye on them, and went to look for Joey in his room.
She knocked on the door, and a response quickly cfrom the inside.
"Who is it?" "Joey, it's me, your mommy." There was a pause before Joey said, "Cin, Mommy." Corinne pushed open the door and saw Joey sitting on his desk, reading a picture book. She walked over, sat next to him, and glanced at his picture book before turning her attention to him.
"Why are you here all alone? Don't you want to play with Bryan and Christine?" Joey instinctively pouted. "I... I'm a big boy now. | need to learn to be independent and not be a burden to Mommy..."
