Chapter 352


    “Is he still angry, Mommy?” Joaquin asked.


    A tear nearly rolled down Selena’s cheek the moment she heard her son calling her ‘Mommy’. “I’m


    so d that you boys are my children,” she uttered as she gave the young boy a forehead kiss.


    “Don’t worry. He’s going to stop being angry at you after a while.” Joaquin tried his best tofort


    her.


    After that, she sat upright and pulled him up onto herp as she apologized to him. “I’m sorry, Jojo.


    It feels like I went around in circles for such a long time before I finally found you boys. I always


    thought that you guys were…” She brushed her tears away. “Forget it. Let’s not talk about the past.”


    “I’m the one who should be saying sorry. I’ve always known that there was something wrong with


    her, but I didn’t voice it out earlier,” he mumbled. She tilted her head and stared at him before he


    continued with his exnation. “I saw her bringing a cake over for Jamie thest time he had a


    fever. I knew that he only started to fall sick after he ate that thing. I wanted to tell Daddy about it,


    but the maids identally threw my proof away, and…” Joaquin started to shake his head as he


    lowered his voice. Before this, he had always told himself that Meredith suffered ten months of


    pregnancy for them and that she was their biological mother; this was the reason he kept so many


    things to himself.


    That night was the first time Selena realized how Joaquin wasn’t as emotionless as he portrayed


    himself to be. He’s actually an emotional child, after all, Selena thought. “Alright, what’s in the past


    is in the past. Let’s not talk about it anymore, okay?” she asked. In response, Joaquin nodded


    obediently.


    “I have to leave in a while, Jojo,” she said.


    “Leave? Where are you going?” he asked.


    “I need to bring Jamie home.” Selena nced at the clock. Her flight was scheduled to leave in two


    hours, and she had already bought her tickets and arranged to meet up with Hades.


    “Aren’t you going to tell Daddy about this?” the young boy asked.

    “Nothing good is going toe out of doing that.” She had no choice but to respond in this manner.


    “I can handle it myself. I’m going to bring Jamie home. Our whole family will be reunited then.” To


    that, Joaquin nodded. “Go to bed. I’ll leave once you fall asleep,” she said in a gentle tone.


    Once Joaquin made himselffortable, Selena stroked his hair as she hummed a soft luby.


    Soon, the young boy fell into a deep slumber.


    …


    Meanwhile, Pierre found himself wide awake in the bedroom. He couldn’t wipe the grin off of his


    face once he was done throwing his tantrum. It’s true; this is such a perfect ending! Selena was the


    one who gave birth to my two sons. I’ve actually been suspicious of Meredith’s role as their


    biological mother, but I’ve never managed to look into it as I was distracted by other matters.


    Despite the fact that he was no longer angry, he continued to wait for Selena to enter the room and


    beg for his mercy. Tsk. Why can’t this woman juste in and apologize already? He swore to


    himself that he would agree to forget all about this and forgive her after she coaxed and ttered


    him a bit more. Yet, the woman simply refused to show up even after he waited for what felt like


    hours. Frustrated, Pierre finally stepped out of the room to look for her.


    When he walked out, he heard her humming a luby in Joaquin’s room next door. This only further


    infuriated him! She cares about our son more than she cares about me! She knew that I was angry,


    yet all she did was sing her son to sleep. Pierre felt like his status in the household was severely


    threatened; he even questioned if their family reunion was indeed good news for him. Soon, he


    realized how exhausted he felt after all that happened in the past few days. Hence, he marched


    back to his bed and allowed his anger to dissipate as he fell asleep.


    The following day, Pierre was awakened by a knock on his door. He dazedly got out of bed to open


    the door, expecting to see Selena waiting for him outside. To his surprise, he looked down to find


    Joaquin standing in front of him.


    “What is it?” Pierre asked.


    “I’m hungry,” Joaquin grumbled.


    “Didn’t she make breakfast for you? What time is it?!” Pierre growled. He was about to rush over to


    the room next door to give Selena a long lecture when he heard Joaquin’s calm voice sounding


    from behind him. “Mommy’s not here.”
