Jasper replied, “Let’s be more optimistic, Esther. Don’t give up hope for your children’s sake. Felix and
Pixie will make new friends at school, and your reputation will influence how they are treated.
“Remember how we were alienated and bullied as illegitimate children? We were humiliated in the
name of justice. I’m sure you wouldn’t want that for your kids, right?”
Esther’s focus shifted, thanks to Jasper’s words. She no longer wallowed in the sadness that Bradley
gave her. She now shone like a bright piece of jewelry, basking everywhere around her with her
brilliance.
“I feel much better now, Jasper,” Esther confessed.
Jasper let out a heartfelt smile and teased, “I’m a little thirsty from all that talking. You go ahead and

“By the way, take care of Felix’s mental health while you’re looking for Pixie. Children have very sharp
senses, so he might feel insecure if he thinks you don’t love him anymore while you’re looking for
Pixie.”
“Okay, I’ll go be with him now,” Esther said.
“Let me know if you need anything. Don’t shoulder the burden alone anymore. I’ll be by your side
forever, no matter when and where,” Jasper promised.
“Thank you,” Esther said and hung up.
Esther washed her face and changed her outfit. She took a deep breath as she looked at her fresh new
look.
Before, she had wanted to change her style to avoid being noticed by Bradley for as long as possible.
But now, she felt there was no need to do such a thing since he knew she was alive.
Plus, she was not in the wrong, so she did not need to hide around. She couldn’t hide forever. She
needed to face Bradley head-on with her head held high.
After all, she was no longer alone. She was the mother of Felix and Pixie. With those two children as
her shield, she would never feel frightened and hide away in cowardice.
“Felix, Sunshine,” Esther called out a few times.
Felix and Sunshine, who were in the bedroom, quickly turned off their laptop.
“We’re here, Mommy,” Felix said in a bright and crisp voice, not letting on a hint of what they were
doing.
Esther followed his voice and saw both children pretending to read a book.
Sunshine noticed Felix was holding his book upside down, so she deliberately pointed at him and said,

Felix made it seem as though he was arguing with Pixie when he realized his blunder. “English isn’t my
mother tongue. Of course I wouldn’t know how to read it properly!”
Esther reached out and stroked their heads. “Hmm, you two could be each other’s teachers.”
“We can?”
“Huh?”
Felix and Sunshine were both confused.
Esther smiled. “That’s right. Felix, you could teach Sunshine French, and she’ll teach English. You
could both learn from your advantages and improve together.”
you
To Sunshine, Esther’s smile seemed forced, making her feel heartbroken as she buried herself in
Esther’s arms.
Sunshine coquettishly said, “That’s a great idea, Mommy.”
Unwilling to let Sunshine get all the love from Esther, Felix also buried himself in her arms. What if
Sunshine’s too stupid to learn, Mommy?”
