What the teacher said embarrassed me.
What’s more, I had to fill in the father’s birthday, work place, blood type and so on. I didn’t know.
I could only call Ming.
When I asked Ming about his birthday, he told me it was November 13th.
I realized it was Ming’s birthday a few days later!
If I didn’t fill in the form today, I didn’t know about it at all.
When I was about to pay my tuition, the teacher told me that Ming had already paid it.
This was a private kindergarten. The tuition was nearly five thousand dollars a semester.
I couldn’t help but wonder, “how long did he pay?”
The teacher turned over the records and said, “he paid for the rest of the year and a half.”
“...”
Now that he had paid, I couldn’t ask the teacher to refund his money.
I thanked the teacher and went out to find Lester.
This kindergarten had a small indoor ocean ball playground. While I was filling in the form, Lester and
several other children were playing in it.
After I went out, I saw Lester and two children queuing up to play on the slide and they had a very good
relationship.
When I called him, Lester and the children were inseparable.
I was immediately relieved.
In the evening, Ming took Lester out to dinner after work.
Sceaux was a small place without many fast food, so this time Ming asked Lester what he wanted to
eat, and Lester said without hesitation, “I want to eat pizza.”
Ming loved Lester so much that he agreed.
After that, Lester went to the playground to play and catch dolls. Ming didn’t turn him down.
When Ming caught dolls for Lester.
His skill was terrible. He spent fifty dollars but failed.
I was a little upset and said, “forget it. We can buy one.”
Ming shook his head. “No, Lester wants it. How can I let him down? It shows that I’m useless.”
In the end, it cost him eighty dollars to succeed.
When that doll fell out of that hole, Lester jumped up happily!
He took the doll out from below and held Ming in his arms and said, “thank you, uncle Jessop. Uncle
Jessop is the best!”
Lester was happy and adored him. I finally understood Ming’s intention.
He was preparing to be Lester’s father.
I didn’t have a children’s room. Lester slept with me at night.
As I coaxed him to sleep, Lester put his arm around my neck and asked me, “Mom, is Uncle Jessop
going to be my dad?”
I was stunned.
Were children so sensitive?
I asked him, “do you want Uncle Jessop to be your dad?”
Lester tilted his head and thought for a while and said, “Lester wants my own dad to be my dad.”
“Your own dad?”
“Yes, my own dad.” Lester blinked and looked at me. “Mom, everyone else has a dad. Don’t I have a
dad? Uncle Jessop is great, but Uncle Jessop is not Lester’s dad.”
I knew what Lester meant.
Ming was not his dad.
But...
I patted his little head and said, “Lester, your dad is no longer here. When Uncle Jessop becomes your
father, he will be as good or better as your own dad.”
What would Sean look like as a dad?
I didn’t know.
But in my heart, Sean should be a good dad.
I may never be able to prove this.
Lester turned his eyes. He seemed to be trying to think. He thought for a moment and said, “OK, let
Uncle Jessop be my dad. I just need a dad.”
I know Lester’s heart was longing for a dad.
After he finished, I became more and more determined to marry Ming.
At least Lester could have a dad. At least he would be nice to Lester.
-
The next morning, Ming accompanied me to send Lester to kindergarten.
When Lester went in, Ming suddenly grabbed my hand and said, “I recently saw the existing houses in
several nearby communities. There are some good ones. Let’s go to see our wedding room.”
His words surprised me.
I didn’t speak so he asked me, “do you have anything else to do?”
“No.” I shook my head and smiled, “I listen to you. I’m a bum now. I have nothing to do.”
Although I decided to open a new studio in York, I hadn’t started yet.
Ming showed me three or four communities.
One of them was very close to Lester’s kindergarten. The house was decorated. It had a reasonable
pattern and front and back yard.
There was a gym in the community and a public library next to it.
All aspects were very good.
After he asked my opinion, I just said, “I think it’s good.”
He took out his card and said to the salesgirl, “we are going to book this house.”
The salesgirl was surprised. She never seemed to meet such a generous person.
She immediately took his card and swiped it.
“Don’t you think about it any more? This house is very expensive...”
I looked at Ming in shock.
He reached out and held me in his arms and smiled, “I’ve bought this house. You can’t regret it.”
“... I’m not going to regret it.” I hesitated and said, “this house is too expensive. I can pay part of it or I
can buy furniture and cars.”
I was sorry that Ming paid for the house.
He shook his head helplessly after I finished. He reached out and touched the tip of my nose. “No, men
should make money to support their families.”
At this time, the salesgirl took the card. She invited us and said, “please come and sign the contract
with us.”
Ming nodded and put my hand in front of him. Then he put the card he used to buy the house in my
palm with his other hand.
“This is...”
I didn’t understand.
He looked at me and said seriously, “in the future, my income, except for the necessary working capital
of the company, will be put into this card.”
With that, he pressed my four fingers and asked me to hold the card. He continued, “this card will be
yours later. You can spend the money on this card. The code is your birthday.”
I looked at Ming and couldn’t believe he gave me the card.
In other words, he gave me all his money.
I reacted and understood. I shook my head and said, “how can I...”
“You will be my wife soon. From ancient times till now, a wife should be in charge of money. I just do
what a husband should do since ancient times.” After Ming finished, he gave me a kiss on the
forehead. “Take it, and I’ll rest assured.”
