228 Answering queries- seducing girls
Getting home, Valen met Jeslyn sitting on a couch in the sitting room, reading a newspaper. 1 That’s
news, when did she find interest in newspapers?” he thought as he made his way to her. On getting
closer, he realized the newspaper was turned upside down. He signed and pulled the newspaper from
her, then turned it around and handed it back. “Mum, you should be more serious when you’re about to
prank me. Make it look convincing,” he rolled his eyes. 2
“Young man, don’t give me that attitude until you exin what you did in school today.” She folded the
newspaper and set it aside, then ced one leg over the other and rested her elbow on the arms. chair
with her jaw on her fist.
When she received the call from the Principal, she was worried, shocked, and frightened. Her son
might be anything but violent…he had never fought anyone before, let alone stab another student and
beat them to a pulp. It came as a strange thing to her but knowing that Valen wouldn’t go over the line
without a proper reason, she tried to calm her mind but couldn’t, so she took a newspaper to while
away time. Unfortunately, her mind was lost on what might be her son’s reason to go physical.
Was she making a mistake in sending him to school? She had thought that a thousand times already
and hoped he woulde back sooner to fill her in on what happened.
“Nothing much.”
“It’s not closing time. If I’m not mistaken, lunch break was over thirty minutes ago and you should be in
ss by now. Spill it, I’m all ears.” She tried to be reasonable while silently scrutinizing his body to see
if there was an injury or anything that might alert her of a serious problem.
The only blood on him were little stains on his white shirt. She assumed it was from the victim.
“I hit a bully,” he confessed and proceeded to sit on a couch but Jeslyn shook her index finger.
“Not right now. Stand in front of me and tell me why you chose violence.” She pointed at a space in
front of her. She wasn’t done checking him out.
Valen sighed and did as told. Ever since the truth was revealed, he had been showing more respect to
his mother and Jeslyn has also been trying to bring out the mother nature in her, even though it’s futile.
“He went overboard with bullying me.”
“Did he push you down?” She asked with a raised brow.
“He did that on the first day I started school,” but I didn’t fall. Valen didn’t say that out loud.
“Oh, so that f- child bullied you before?!” She had red up but calmed herself and changed her tone.
“You didn’t tell me that when I asked you how your day went.”
“It wasn’t important.”
“So what did he do this time?” He said it wasn’t important, so she’ll let this hang on the back of her
mind for now.

“Keep guessing” How can he exin that a child like him shoved his face into his food? That’s too
degrading.
Jeslyn stared at him for a while, then her eyes narrowed at the little particles of rice on his hair. “He
mmed your face into your food?!” Her voice subconsciously raised above normal.
Valen nodded fervently. He didn’t want to be med, also, he wanted his mother to know what
happened which was why he left some rice particles in his hair. Now that he has a mother, he should
enjoy being spoiled a little, right? 3
Jeslyn’s frown deepened. ‘What else was that demon child intending to do to my Valen? Did he intend
to dip Valen’s head into the toilet next time?! How dare that boy?!! Serves him right. His hand should
have been cut off! His parents will hear from me tomorrow! her face had a slight frown but her mind
was jumping around in anger.
However, what came out of her mouth was theplete opposite of what her mind was saying. “That’s
not enough to stab a fork into his hand. She almost pinched herself when she heard what she said. ‘It
was more than enough! her inner demon screamed at her.
“He did something else… Mom, you can’t allow your child to be bullied. That’s not what mothers do” he
said with stubbornnesscing his face.
“You think you know better than me what I should do?” She red at him. “Bullying is not to be
tolerated. However, you went overboard again. You are allowed to reciprocate, but stop doing the
extreme, Valen! It would make you the guilty one if your matters are reported and that’s not what we
want. Seek retribution, but also make it so that the person ends up being the guilty one no matter what.
Are we clear on this?”
“Mother, that’s too petty. That should be a revenge n for cute girls, not me. Seek revenge but dish it
out with a harder te, so that when they see you next time, they’ll take another route… my legs are
aching, and I want to sit.” Although he said that, he didn’t sit down until Jeslyn nodded.
He was right and Jeslyn knows that but he’s too young to be taught that. What is she supposed to do
now that her son has started implementing this rule of life at such a young age?
She sighed in resignation, not knowing what to do with this child anymore. Good thing he wasn’t a
troublemaker, he was only defending himself and not causing trouble.
However, what Jeslyn failed to know was that Valen provoked the bullies when he light on the day he
started school.
gave
Mia a green
On that day, after he got introduced and went to his seat, he realized that Mia was the most interesting
student in the ss because, both the students and teachers liked her and wouldn’t stop smiling
sheepishly at her, so he made up his mind at that moment to hook the girl.
At lunchtime, Mia was sitting at a table opposite him and Valen started to make cute faces that got Mia
to be mesmerized. Although the child had noticed him before in ss, she was too shy to
approach him or speak to him because Valen was simply too cold and unapproachable.
