Raising children was a test with no standard answer.
He wasn’t sure if there was anything wrong with Matilda’s parenting.
But he knew that he should be on the same page with her.
He couldn’t be a stumbling block on the road to his daughter’s upbringing.
Allen’s eyes were deep in the light, with the same tenderness as before.
You and Jolene, do whatever you want. I’ll back you up.”
Allen brought Jolene’s pajamas and the little bear she had to hold to sleep every day.
Then he turned around alone.
He took two steps, turned back, and stared at Matilda.
It seemed he had said something, but he didn’t say anything
Matilda broke the silence. “Dr. Saunders, are you worried about leaving Jolene with me?”
“No, not at all.”
After saying that, Allen left.
But he was walking very slowly.
It was as if Matilda’s carpet had stuck to his feet.
Matilda walked behind Allen, waiting for him to go out and lock the door.
But he was so slow that Matilda wanted to push him.
It took three minutes to walk a short distance.
After Matilda finished her shower, she saw that Allen had added her to the class group chat.
She tapped [Apply to Join] and waited for Gillian to approve.
Gillian added Matilda on WhatsApp last year.
She received a message that Lola’s mother had requested to join the group chat.
She tapped Agree and said in the group.
[Lola’s mother, welcome to the group.]
Some parents always supported whatever the teacher said.
They immediately supported, copied, and followed.
When Matilda picked up her phone again, there were already more than ten messages that said so.

Matilda didn’t reply immediately, but first looked at the little girl who was eager to massage her legs.
Jolene’s little head was sweaty from exhaustion.
She wiped the sweat from her arm and looked at Matilda with a smile. “Is the pressure okay?”
Matilda felt like an abusive stepmother and said earnestly, “It is good, but Jolene, take a break.”
Upon receiving the instruction, Jolene went limp and collapsed on the bed, letting out a relieved sigh.
Matilda laughed, the smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows lingering for a long time.
No one could connect her with the woman who had been consumed with anxiety that morning.
Some realizations emerged suddenly.
‘How could life be the same just with anyone?
‘And it doesn’t feel the same to raise a different child!
Matilda looked away from Jolene, her fingertips flying quickly across the phone screen.

[Hi everyone, I am Jolene’s godmother, Matilda. I will be part of Jolene’s growth and education, and I hope to have a pleasant relationship with everyone.]
Gillian read Matilda’s message and felt awkward, but it was inappropriate to retract and resend it, nor was it appropriate to say nothing.
After a long while, she replied, [Welcome to join the group chat.]
Allen, who usually didn’t speak in the group, mentioned Matilda.
[No matter what happens, I will be there to back you and Jolene up.]
There was no response below.
The parents who got the gossip as soon as possible froze.
After reacting, they excitedly took screenshots and sent them privately.
[Oh heavens, how can there be such a good show? They cheated on each other and brought the drama to the group chat.)
[During the parents-child campaign, I said that there was something between Matilda and that man. The way the man looked at Matilda was not simple. He’s crazy about her.]
[Matilda doesn’t want her own child, but joins her child’s class group to be a mother to another kid? Is she out of her mind?]
[Why keep criticizing Matilda? During the parent-child campaign, Lola introduced another woman as her mother in public. Wasn’t that allowed by Brandon?
[I have a few videos. After you watch them, I’m sure you won’t speak up for Matilda anymore.]
Shelby came out after taking a shower, deliberately wearing a loose and comfortable long dress.

Carrying the first-aid kit, she went to Brandon’s bedroom.
Brandon was changing into his home clothes.
The bruises of varying degrees on his body didn’t affect the pleasing appearance of his figure.
The thin muscle lines were smooth, tight, and just right.
Matilda actually possessed such a figure for six years!
Shelby resented it in her heart.
She bit her lip and walked up to Brandon.
“Brandon, let me apply the medicine for you.”
Since he had already had sex with Shelby, Brandon dressed normally without hiding anything.
Brandon said in a low voice, “Let the servant do it later.”
“Brandon, please don’t make me worry, okay?”
Shelby’s eyes turned red.
Brandon couldn’t refuse a woman who was all about him.
He said okay and sat on the bed.
Shelby carefully avoided the wounds and applied the medicine to him.
Her brows furrowed, and her beautiful eyes were red with tears.
Her heartache was plain to see.

Compared to Matilda’s filthiness and ruthlessness, Brandon was momentarily moved and grasped Shelby’s hands, enveloping them in his palms.
He said gently, “Shelby, now Matilda and I still have a score to settle. I’ve wronged you.”
Shelby nodded understandingly.
She came tonight for such words from Brandon.
Daniel had a strong sense of social status.
Matilda’s family was already well-off among ordinary people, but he still despised her, not to mention Shelby’s poor background.
Daniel would be happy to have Shelby as a daughter to marry off for profit.
But to marry her into the Grimes family as a daughter-in-law, it might not be easy for him to agree.
Shelby stared at Brandon with glistening eyes, a hazy, blurred look in them.
She leaned slightly forward to reach Brandon’s mouth.

Brandon wasn’t in the mood.
Just then, the phone on the side started vibrating nonstop.
He let go of Shelby.
While flipping her hair, Shelby turned her eyes to Brandon’s phone screen.
She was stunned. ‘Matilda joined the class
And she said she was Jolene’s mother?’
group chat!
Brandon’s lips pursed even more palely, his brows cool and indifferent.
He gritted his teeth silently. ‘So you’re starting to fight back, Matilda?
If I’m not mistaken, after disgusting me in the group chat, you should get to work.
I’m waiting for you!’

After coming out of Brandon’s room, Shelby thought about the scene of picking up Lola from school the next day.
With a sly look in her eyes, she turned and went to Lola’s room.
ola had her own mobile phone, tablet, computer, watch, and robot.
At that moment, she was chatting with her classmate.
Robin sent a voice message.
Lola, you didn’t come to school today. You didn’t see me make Jolene cry. Otherwise, you must have been happy.]
Lola sent a regretful expression. [What a pity.]
Robin: [It’s okay, I’ll make her cry again tomorrow for you to see.]
