Chapter 37: The Prince And The Pauper


    "Why is Mommying?"n probed.


    "Cause it''s a holiday, Matt! Have you forgotten? It''s Wednesday and the preschool is only open for half


    a day.Our teacher said they need to sanitize the ce, so we must go home.That''s why I called


    Mrs.Grint and asked her to get you before time,’’ Vivian replied happily, still feeling proud of herself for


    saving her brother in time.


    Matteo had given her Mrs.Grint''s phone number beforehand, so Vivian called the nanny and asked for


    her help to go look for Matteo.


    She heldn''s hand and skipped lightly into their ssroom with him.


    Their teacher spotted them and waved at them.


    "Hey, Vivian, I see you''ve got your brother.Come on, you two, get your bags and be ready to go


    home.Your mom''s almost here.Let''s go."


    "Yes!"


    Vivian''s crispy voice rang loud and clear besiden''s ears.


    He rolled his eyes as the girl went ahead and grabbed her bag.


    Despite being exasperated,n found his surroundings intriguing.


    He had never been to a preschool, and all this was totally new to him.


    Actually, it was not like he did not attend preschool at all.He attended the best preschool in Avenport.


    The environment there was impable; the facilities were top-notch, and the children came from


    affluent families.


    His teachers were never down to earth and the kids there were never friendly.


    To be precise, it was almost impossible to make any friends.


    "Mommy''s here!"


    Seeing Amora from afar, Vivian squealed at the top of her voice as she ran towards her mother.


    Once again,n went speechless.


    His gaze trailed her steps, and he suddenly stopped at the door.


    Huh? Isn''t this the doctor who came to the house in the morning? I just parted ways with her in front of


    Daddy''spany.


    What''s she doing here? She''s their mother?n was confounded as he looked at the two of them


    hugging each other.


    "Matt, what are you waiting for? Come to me! We''re going home,’ Amora cried out to him and waved


    enthusiastically when she realizedn was standing still.


    What''s wrong with Matt today.


    Why isn''t he smiling? Is he angry? Was Ite? Amora let go of Vivian and came over to check if Matteo


    was okay.


    "What''s wrong, Matt? Are you angry with me? Is it because I''mte? I''m so sorry Matt.I didn''t know y''all


    are ending early today.I got here right after I got the call.Please don''t be angry, okay?"


    Amora held out her hand and reached for his head, wanting to pat his head.


    Butn shied away instinctively, avoiding her touch.


    Her hand froze in the air.


    For a moment, she thought the boy standing in front of her was not Matteo, but the boy she saw in the


    morning.


    "Matt?"


    "I can walk over on my own,’’n told her coldly.


    He did not take another look at her but walked past her towards Vivian, leaving Amora behind as she


    turned around stiffly.


    "Matt, are you really angry? But I have already apologized.What about I make it up to you? I''ll get you


    ice cream.It''s your favorite."


    Besiden, Vivian pped and jumped about in joy while he looked at her apathetically from the corner


    of his eyes.


    "Yay! Mommy, I want a strawberry vor ice-cream.Oh! Can we also have a hotdog? I miss it so much!"


    After getting groceries, Amora brought the two kids back to their rental apartment.


    By the time they reached home, Vivian andn had already finished their ice-cream and hotdogs.


    They even had a freshly baked egg tart.


    "Wasn''t that a good treat, Matt?"


    Vivian looked at her brother with a pleasant smile on her face.


    Looking at how the girl was caressing her belly and licking her lips,n could tell she was aplete


    foodie.


    He wondered if this was what the two siblings did every day.


    He looked at the tasty snack and could not resist it anymore.


    He opened his mouth wide and munched away, savoring the delicacy with a satisfied nod.

    He had never tried anything that delicious in his life.


    His father did not allow him to have any of these because he said they were unhealthy.


    That was why alln had ever tasted was home-cooked food.


    He had eaten none of the food sold outside.


    Amora looked at the two happy children and decided to let them have some fun on their own while she


    went into the kitchen to cook.


    The telephone rang in the living area when she was busy preparing food.


    "Matt, can you help me pick up the phone? See who''s on the call.I''m cooking!" she shouted from the


    kitchen.


    "Hello?" he said as he picked up the receiver.


    "Ian?" the voice from the other end called out.


    "Who are you?" he whispered cautiously.


    "I''m Matt! You''re at my house now, right? Mommy and Vivian are calling you ‘Matt’, aren''t they?"


    It was yful and light, just like how those little foxes in the cartoons sounded like.


    Matt? So, this is the Matt they have been mistaking me for?n finally understood everything, and


    gloom set on his face.
