Chapter 14

It was until the door was closed that Blake only looked up. Ms. Susan said with a slightly embarrassed tone, “Madam brought the little master out for a walk.”

Blake stared at the door for a second before he closed the document in his hand.

Slightly stunned, Kim looked at him in a confused manner. “Mr. Ferguson?”

At that point, Blake’s phone rang. After the quick call, he looked at Kim and said, “It’s been a long night for you. Go back and get some sleep. I’ll tell my driver to send you home. We’ll grab lunch or dinner another day.”

Kim blushed because Blake seemed so concerned about her.

“Okay. You can give me a call anytime if you want to talk about this.”

Ms. Susan was washing the dishes in the kitchen, and when she heard Kim’s coquettish tone, she clicked her tongue in disdain. She could not understand young ladies nowadays. Why were they so anxious about becoming someone’s mistress? All the education they received would simply go down the drain.

…

The neighborhood was surrounded by many convenient facilities, and one of them was a park. Inside the park were some shops.

Jessica pushed the stroller for a walk in the park. The cute Winson won many hearts of the passersby and the shop owners after a quick walk around the park. Soon, his cart was filled with little toys and snacks.

Jessica got tired after walking around, and she decided to take a break on the bench at the sidewalk.

Winson wanted candy, so he reached out to the lollipop hanging above his cart and waved it in front of his mother, urging her to unwrap it for him. “Mama, eat.”

Jessica unwrapped the candy before carrying the little imp into her arms. He was obedient enough to urge his mother to have a taste first. She simply licked it and then gave the lollipop to Winson who happily sucked on it while shaking his little legs.

At that moment, she was sitting under a tree. The wind suddenly blew several leaves from the branches off together. There was a caterpillar on one of the leaves, and it landed precisely on Jessica’s shoulder.

The caterpillar had long and sharp fur on its back. Jessica had been stung before when she was young. As a result, her skin had turned red and swelled, hurting her for almost a day. The little encounter with the caterpillar traumatized her since then.

Jessica wanted to scream but could not. She stared at the caterpillar on her shoulder in fear.

Winson, however, found the caterpillar interesting. He curiously reached out to it and tried to touch it.

However, Jessica would never let him get hurt. She grabbed his hand and held him down while trying to avoid the caterpillar from crawling closer. The caterpillar was driving her crazy, and she almost broke down and cried.

All of a sudden, a strong hand came and flicked the caterpillar away into the bushes and it disappeared.

Jessica looked up and saw a tall man in front of her. The man frowned at his fingers that had flicked the caterpillar away while his other hand remained in his pocket. He looked like he was at a loss of what to do.

Jessica realized what was going on. She quickly took the pack of wet tissues out from the back compartment of the stroller for him.

The man took the pack of wet tissues and used it to wipe his hand. Jessica thanked him using sign language, “Thank you.”

The man slightly furrowed his brow, “You…can’t speak?”

Jessica smiled since she did not mind the question.

The man nodded in realization. He then crumpled the piece of wet tissue and threw it towards the trash can several meters away. It landed inside precisely.

He then pointed at her hand and curiously asked, “You are quite good with sign language, I see. Can you teach me?”

Jessica was stunned. No one had ever praised her for her sign language because others viewed it as a flaw or a burden.

She nodded and taught the man how to say “thank you” using his hands. The man did as instructed.

On the other hand, Blake had gone after Jessica and Winson right after they left. He walked to the park and saw Jessica signing at a man who was mimicking her gestures.

She curled her lips into a soft smile. Blake had never seen her smile so happily and relaxed before!
