The way the employee looked at Sarah was seemingly probing, ‘You’re not his stepmother, are you?’“I just haven’t gotten around to living with him for a while,” Sarah said, feeling victimized. Xander was not her child so it was perfectly normal for her not to know much about him.“That’s even worse. A parent shouldn’t just neglect their children for the sake of their own joy. Those kinds of parents are terrible.”Sarah was going to keep defending herself and meanwhile, James had enjoyably picked a piece of kid’s clothes. “I’ll have one of these.”“Sure. I’ll get it for you.” The employee was very attentive to James and proceeded to pick the size for it.Hence, one of them chose the garments, the other got the size. It only took them around 10 minutes to finish clothes shopping for Xander…Checking out with two carts filled with stuff, James passed Xander over to Sarah’s arms and said, “Wait for me outside.”“Okay, sure.”“Sir, you’re being so lovely to your wife. And what a bea

Xander put on a sour face right away and murmured, “I’ll give myself a bath tonight, Uncle Marshall.”Sarah understood immediately. “James, why won’t you let me give Xander a bath?”James was carrying their purchases all by himself. “No way.”There was no particular reason. He just did not like her touching any other boy, not even Xander.Sarah stormed toward him and rebuked, “So you’re just gonna use a toy to make Xander bathe on his own because you don’t want me to do it?”Feeling vexed, she threw a punch at James’ body.She did it as hard as she could.Carrying five bags with his hands, James could still hold his body steady. He made a small move to Sarah and murmured closely, “You’re a child too.”After saying that, he felt off with what he just said. If Sarah was a child, that would leave a huge gap between the two of them. “What I mean is, you’re too young to take on a mother’s responsibility and bathe Xander. Let Nanny Jarvis or me do it.”“And you’re suitable? I can ba

“Please, stop fighting, Uncle Marshall, Young Aunt. I’m sorry, I won’t make you angry again… I don’t want the toy anymore. I’ll bath myself… Stop hitting Uncle Marshall, Young Aunt…”The kid was frightened.He tried to pull Sarah away and did the same with James.Although Xander tried, he still could not separate them.Little did he know, all James could see right now was Sarah, who felt deeply hurt inside. No matter how hard he tried to pull James, James would not feel a thing.Meanwhile, all Sarah was feeling were her feelings being mistreated. Hence, she would never notice that it was her fight with James that made him start crying.Isaac was watching them on the street, grinning from ear to ear as he talked to his phone, “Catch this! James had it coming. Man, I wanna light up the firecrackers so bad.”“Hold still, Isaac! Do your job and stream.” Francis was concentrating on his phone, having himself a laugh harder than Isaac did.James finally screwed up when he started to

“Yes.”Up until that point, James was dying to kick Isaac so hard that he would be flying to outer space. However, he understood that he must not do it in front of Sarah because that would be too brutal for her.After hearing James confirm Isaac’s identity, Sarah snorted and said, “You’ve got it all wrong, Mr. Cooper. James and I are strictly friends. About your fourth sister-in-law, I’ll help him find one soon.”Sarah was already calm by then.Thinking back about the fight she started with James, he had made it clear with Xander that he was just messing with her.Yes, every word that he said was all just a joke.The stuff he said about the things people did when they loved someone, when he asked if she loved him, they were all nothing but jokes.If she had really taken it seriously, she would only make a fool out of herself.Isaac was stunned at first after listening to Sarah. Then, he tried to compress his lips as hard as he could because if he did not, he would definitely bu

Xander kept eating and looking at his toys at the same time, shoving his dinner in his mouth very quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had finished his dinner and darted to his toys to start playing again.“Xander, don’t—”When Sarah was about to give Xander a lecture, she was interrupted by James, “It will stop happening when his excitement wears off.”Sarah thought about it and agreed, “Were you like that too when you were a kid?”“I was alright.”“So you were like that! Otherwise, you wouldn’t understand Xander so well.”Sarah took another look at the two of them. She was so positive that the way those two guys played with their toys were definitely the same.“Let’s go look at some kindergartens first thing in the morning.”“Do I have to ask for another school leave?”“I’m fine with bringing Xander myself. I was just worried…” James turned his head to Xander to indicate what he was trying to say. The bottom line was, he enjoyed the picture of him being with Sarah and Xander,
