Even if the explanation seemed outlandish, Ziggy could not find many other explanations for his situation. The other explanation he could think of was that Josh and his parents were the same two people and that one set of their parents are impostors. The fact he was sure about was that their mother had to be either Rachel or Rue. Their father should be the man in front of him. 'But...' Ziggy's brows quickly furrowed up. He did not think his mommy was the fake one! The fake should be Rue! Edward strolled to Ziggy and looked at his pajamas. "You look different today." Ziggy looked up and smiled at Edward. "It's comfier this way." Seeing Ziggy's smile reminded Edward of Rachel; their smiles were so similar and infectious. Edward reached out and rubbed Ziggy's head. "As long as you like it." At that moment, Rue stepped up and smiled at Edward gently. "Honey, this kid is so uncannily similar to me! We both like to be in comfortable clothing!" Edward and Ziggy both lo
Edward slowly broke into a grin. "You little twerp, what is it with you today? Youāre even making fun of me." Ziggy shrugged listlessly. "Why, are you a fierce monster?" Edward knocked Ziggy's head lightly. "You're right. I'm not a fierce monster, I'm your father, so you don't have to be so respectfully polite all the time. I like how you are today." Ziggy lowered his head after a brief moment of pause. 'Looks like Josh's father is not as strict as he presented himself to be.' Meanwhile, Rue called Mr. Bennet worriedly. The moment the call connected, Rue spoke, "Dad! I think Josh might have seen Rachel. He's been weird all day. Usually, he would obey whatever I say, but today he was rebuking everything that I said. He even said some worrying things!" Mr. Bennet was evidently just as surprised as Rue. "What? Isn't Josh at home most of the days? How would he see Rachel?!" Rue bit down on her teeth. "Maybe because Rachel is working in the Chapman Group! It must be intentio
After three rounds of the food, Josh sat there, satisfied, and patted his tummy. "I can't eat anymore." Rachel poked Josh's slightly-protruding belly with a huge grin. "Baby, you ate so much today." Josh immediately stood up and pulled Rachel's hand, speeding through the walkway. "Mommy, mommy! Let's go on the other rides!" Rachel nodded while chortling. "Okay, okay! Walk slower, don't rush!" It was only after they had gone on almost all the rides that Josh slowed down. Rachel laughed seeing Josh proactiveness. Usually, Ziggy would not be that enthusiastic about the rides. Moreover, he seemed to have boundless energy going onto ride after ride, it was as if... It was as if he would never be allowed there again, so he wanted to experience everything as much as he could. Rachel gently hugged Josh from behind. "Baby, there is no need to cram everything in one visit. I will bring you here again in the future, as long as you want to." Josh stopped and his excitement slow
After returning to the apartment, Rachel filled up the bath and patted Josh. "Baby, you must be tired today. Quick, take a bath and go to bed." Josh nodded and went into the bathroom. After changing into matching pajamas, Josh walked out and into Rachel's arms while she kissed him. Josh tried to remain calm but the blush on his face quickly betrayed him. Rachel chuckled. "Oh, baby, why are you constantly shy today?" "Go to the bed, I'll be right there in a minute." Josh was a little surprised. "Are we sleeping together?" Rachel nodded seriously. "That's right! Why, do you not want to sleep beside me now that you've grown up?" She pouted deliberately. Josh waved his hands shyly. "Nope, IāI understand, I will go toāto the bed and wait for mommy." He immediately ran into the room red-faced. At the sight of Josh's shyness, Rachel shrugged. "This child..." In the room, Josh leaned against the wall, embarrassed, and slowly slid down to the floor. He had been sleepin
As Edward felt the warmth from the smaller hand, he shook his head. He reached out and lightly scratched Ziggy's nose. "You little twerp tricked me." Ziggy looked at Edward seriously. "Father, you're the one who said I'm a grown-up and that I mustn't stay up late. So as a grown-up as well, you must take your own advice!" Edward nodded with a smile. "Alright, alright, I will take my own advice." He then took his jacket off and laid down on the bed. However, the two figures laid in bed without moving, making it quite an awkward scenario. It was Edward's first time sleeping in a bed together with his son. It was also Ziggy's first time sleeping in a bed with a stranger. So, Edward turned off all the lights. In the darkness, he reached out with his lanky arms and hugged Ziggy between them. The action did not seem like an interaction between a father and his son, but rather a man hugging a woman. His arms held onto Ziggy rigidly. "Go to sleep, goodnight." Ziggy almost
'What did Josh mean by that? Could it be that...' 'Could it be that he knew something, after all?' Regardless of that, Rue smiled. "Of course. Alright now, it's too early for jokes." Ziggy nodded calmly. "Since you know that I'm joking, please don't look like a deer in headlights. Otherwise, other people might think there are some truths in it." Edward looked at Rue, who was not far from him, wordlessly. Josh had snapped at Rue very early this morning. Even him as a third person felt it was interesting. He carried Ziggy in his arms and placed him on his lap. "Do you want to come to my office with me today?" Ziggy was a little taken aback, but he refused Edward immediately nonetheless. "Not really, I want to go to school." Rue immediately felt herself starting to get jealous of a child. She had always wanted to visit Edward at his office! Firstly, she would be able to verify her status. Secondly, she wanted to visit the company, then worm herself into a position ther
Before Rachel could step up onto the bus, Josh pulled her back with a frown. Rachel looked back at Josh puzzledly. "Baby, are we not going on the bus?! We'll be late if we have to wait for the next one." Still frowning, Josh answered, "Arenāt there too many people in the car? The air is not great in there. Also, your skirt is a little short, mommy, I don't think it's appropriate to take a car like this, right?" Rachel became aware of her own outfit upon hearing Josh's words.She tugged at the slightly-short skirt in distress. "Oh, I forgot I am wearing a short skirt." A spacey silver car pulled up in front of Rachel and stopped. Rachel and Josh were confused, but his phone buzzed with a notification. It was a message from Ziggy. "Mommy is wearing a short skirt, so I ordered a car for you. I'm heading to school right now." The car door opened as the driver smiled at Rachel and Josh. "Good morning, please get in the car." Rachel immediately backed up with Josh cautious
After changing into each otherās clothes, Ziggy looked at Josh who was holding the mask but hesitant about putting it on. He sighed and placed both his hands on Josh's shoulder. "Josh, actually, your father is a good father." Josh looked at Ziggy with surprise. "What did you say? My father?" Ziggy nodded. "Mm-hmm. He looks cold and is strict to you most of the time, but he really does care about you a lot." "I can see that as an outsider, so I believe you have some idea about it as well." Josh then recalled the many nights when Edward sat by his side in the Bluemel mansion and read quietly. His father was a busy man, but he had never returned home late no matter what. On the contrary, returning home was his daily routine. They always read quietly around each other. Even though they had close to no communication, he was pretty satisfied with the tacit interaction between them. "Josh, I want to ask you a question." Ziggy adjusted his clothes and began to frown. Josh p
