Chapter 5

Penulis: Silent One
"No matter how busy you might be, you still have a responsibility to discipline Theo as his parents," Jessica said.

…

I walked out of the teacher's office. Theo then looked at me with a pout. He had been waiting for me outside the office and had probably thought that I would yell at him or start lecturing him, but I didn't say a word to him.

I still said nothing to him even after reaching home.

Theo, however, began to look extremely nervous around me. He would come over to me to check on me every once in a while. Even at dinner, he didn't try to outsmart me and obediently ate his healthy dinner without a peep.

While on our evening stroll, Theo even tried appeasing me by offering to pull me along in the PlasmaCar. I rejected his offer and said he didn't go over his calories today, so he didn't have to do the strenuous exercise this time.

He just lowered his head and nodded with a soft, "Oh."

I sighed in relief when I saw him acting like this. At the very least, this proved that T

    [Theo's POV]"Mommy would never treat me like this if she were still here!" Theo exclaimed. However, he regretted shouting it at Austin as soon as the words tumbled from his mouth.Austin's expression looked as if he was about to shatter at any moment. Theo watched as Austin's mouth opened and closed a few times, wanting to say something but ultimately saying nothing.Theo flew into a panic and tried to apologize, but Austin just patted him on the head and finally said, "It's not your fault…"Theo thought things would continue like this—him hating everyone and getting hated on in return. One fine day, however, his mother suddenly had the nanny tape his fingers together.Theo was shocked. He felt as though something was no longer the same. After that, his mother began disciplining him, talking sense into him, and reasoning with him, and he felt that his mother was acting as if she were truly his mother again.Eventually, Theo didn't like eating snacks anymore. However, he still re

    [Rosanna's POV]After suddenly dying from working too much, I realized that I had transmigrated into a novel that I'd been reading late into the night a few days ago.Unfortunately, I was neither the main female lead nor any of the supporting cast. Instead, I was the cannon fodder who was slated to only appear for a few scenes in the front before getting killed off after a while.The system bound to me told me that I was the wife of the story's main antagonist and the mother of the secondary antagonist. My mission was to change the trajectory of their lives and help them forge their own paths.I agreed and accepted the mission only perfunctorily. In reality, however, I never thought much about my mission.This was how we, as office workers, behaved. If I was given work to do, as long as I got it done, how I got it done was none of anybody else's business.I had already had enough of the workaholic life in my past. I didn't have the energy to keep trying to change the lives of two

  • A Perfect Summer   Chapter 10

    After two weeks of Theo's diet consisting of nothing but healthy, nutritious food during his recovery, it wasn't surprising that he lost a considerable amount of weight.His chubby little face began to gain some definition, and even his eyes, which had previously been weighed down by fat deposits, seemed to have enlarged and brightened.Austin was right when he said Theo looked a lot like me. Also, I couldn't deny that Theo was a naturally gifted child, having inherited the best of both Austin and me. It was no wonder that even the bullet comments had begun to side with him.…It was one year later, and Theo began losing his baby teeth. I put a camera in the fridge to catch Theo sneaking chocolate at night. Lo and behold, I caught him red-handed on the third night I installed the camera there.At that very same moment, Austin was coaxing me to put the blindfold on and focus entirely on him. My phone had just begun buzzing with a notification when he snatched it away from me and se

    Another comment popped up. "Hilary's personality is so weak! I'm getting sick of her. Honestly speaking, the main plot isn't half as interesting as the villains' daily life.""Whatever it is, Sandy will definitely come home unscathed. She is the main owner after all, and the story can't continue without her. But you can't say the same about Theo…"When I read that comment, I couldn't hold it in anymore and turned to leave the room. I then quickly dialed the number that I'd saved in my phone a long time ago. I was going to save my son no matter what.Within two hours of the call I'd made, there was a huge commotion in the skies above the preschool.The male lead of the plot, Wesley Hunter, had finally arrived. I briefly explained things to him and also told him that my son, Theo, had been dragged into it as another victim as well.Wesley frowned and made a few calls, quickly pinpointing the kidnappers' location. However, the kidnappers were armed with weapons, so the rescue missi

  • A Perfect Summer   Chapter 8

    "The money we have all belongs to Mommy, and Daddy also belongs to Mommy," Austin told Theo.In other words, he was telling Theo that he wasn't the primary decision maker in the house anymore. Theo was stupefied. He simply didn't understand why his dad seemed to have changed overnight.After living with me for a while, Theo knew that I only looked soft and gentle, yet I had my own set of principles. Austin might look cold and quiet, but he was also the one who always caved and gave in to his wishes first.Theo must have really wanted that smart watch because he then shifted his attention to me. However, he didn't use his beseeching look on me this time. He made some assurances and promises instead.I smiled lightly at him and immediately went upstairs to the study to print out an agreement.The agreement said that if I were to buy him the latest smartwatch, he would also willingly do everything I told him.All this included, but was not limited to, washing the dishes, vacuuming t

  • A Perfect Summer   Chapter 7

    Austin told me that something had felt off about me as soon as I had come out of the delivery room.At first, he thought that I had postpartum depression and got so frightened that he secretly consulted a number of psychologists without letting anyone know. Eventually, he realized that my eating habits, dress, and even manner of speech had completely changed.He was then thoroughly convinced that I wasn't the same person anymore. He tried talking to the transmigrator, Rosanna Lacewin, a few times, and she laid down all her cards on the table, coming clean to him.She said, "I'm here to save your wife's life. As for the question about when I'm planning to leave… Let's see when I finally get sick of this life."Austin hadn't dared to risk anything with me, so he took a step back and tried to maintain a semblance of peace with Rosanna. When I heard this, I pinched his cheeks and said, "So, you even began neglecting your own kid after that?"Austin leaned down and pressed our forehead
