Chapter 34

Edith didn’t know Gideon had been struggling all night about why she didn’t reply to his message.

Three hours later, the alarm clock rang.

Edith went to the laboratory with the complete restoration diagram.

“You actually did it!”

“You’re a real dark horse. I haven’t seen such a complete 3D modeling diagram in a long time?

“Don’t cheer too loud. This is just the beginning of the restoration work.”

Edith’s colleagues surrounded the modeling diagram and discussed with excitement.

Edith went back to her office to change clothes and started a new round of work.

The clay statue could withstand high temperatures but was fragile in front of collisions, so restoring it was a massive task.

The cleaning work had been completed after the cultural relics were unearthed. What Edith needed to do next was stick the pieces together, fill in missing parts, restore the colors, etc.

She was immersed in her work and didn’t know Ruben and Jeanne had become famous in kindergarten.

Ruben won the admiration of teachers and children because he helped a teacher fix a computer

virus.

“Ruben, why did you know that stuff?”

“How about coming and playing with us? Don’t sit there silently.”

“My mommy said you are sick, but you look smarter than us. What kind of disease is it? I also want to have it, so my mommy won’t say I’m stupid every day.”

The teacher was amused, but she quickly interrupted them when hearing the children’s blunt words. “Class begins. Go back to your seats!”

The teacher felt it was impolite to say Ruben was sick in front of him, while Ruben didn’t take it to heart.

He had long accepted that he was different from ordinary people. Besides, his classmates didn’t mean any harm.

The teacher was about to give a handicraft class when someone knocked on the door. It was the dean of studies.

“Ms. Brown, can talk to you for a second? Joyce was a student in your class before, right? Her parents came over to go through the transfer procedures and get back some handicrafts that were left in the school.”

“Okay, I’ll be there right away.” The teacher told the children to draw in class and left quickly after replaceing Joyce’s previous handiwork in the cabinet.

Jeanne glanced out the window from time to time and couldn’t focus on drawing at all.

“Do you want to go?” Ruben saw through her mind and stuttered.

Jeanne’s eyes suddenly lit up. She said expectantly, “Can I? I want to see Gideon.”

She was interested in anything related to Gideon.

Besides, she wanted to replace out what kind of person Gideon was as soon as possible, and she was curious about what happened in the past that led to the divorce of Edith and Gideon.

Chapter 34

Ruben pointed to the back door and motioned for Jeanne to sneak out quietly.

They bent over and moved slowly toward outside while the classmates were not paying attention.

Jeanne thought it was very funny and almost laughed out loud, but Ruben covered her mouth in time.

If they were found by others, their classmates would definitely follow them out.

Ruben didn’t want to get criticized by the teacher as he just got the sticker yesterday.

“Ruben, I don’t know where the office is…” Jeanne stood in the aisle and looked at the three forks with embarrassment.

She had a poor sense of direction and had never been anywhere in kindergarten except the classroom and the playground area.

Ruben took her hand and walked towards one of the forks.

Before the start of school, Ruben had already figured out the route of this kindergarten. He even knew where the principal’s wig was hidden, not to mention the office.

Ruben and Jeanne were squatting at the door of the office. Danika was talking politely to Nina, and Gideon was sitting on the sofa without saying a word.

Jeanne poked her head to look inside, revealing the bun on top of her head.

Gideon caught a glimpse of it and found it interesting. He couldn’t help but be attracted by it.

‘A kid sneaked out during the class?‘ he wondered.

Jeanne met his gaze and hurriedly lowered her head.

She thought nervously, ‘We’re screwed. He discovered me before I overheard any news!‘

Jeanne grabbed Ruben’s hand and ran away.

Gideon excused himself to have a work call and chased after them.

He found Ruben and Jeanne at the corner of the first floor and, lowering his head, said, “Why are you two little kids running away?”

Ruben didn’t like to be called a little kid and stared at Gideon with a frown.

“We didn’t run away. Gideon, why are you here? What a stroke of luck!” Jeanne lied and pretended nothing had happened.

Gideon couldn’t help but smile when he saw her cute look of telling lies in a serious manner.

He lost his heart to her and really wanted to squeeze her cheeks.

In order to cover up his slightly perverted thoughts, Gideon put a fist against his mouth and coughed. “I came to go through the transfer procedures for Joyce. Why didn’t you go to class?”

Jeanne ignored his question and asked, “Gideon, why do you want to transfer Joyce to another school?”

Her question stunned Gideon, and he forgot why he wanted to transfer Joyce to another school for a

moment.

It was because Edith said last time that she didn’t want to have anything to do with Gideon and wanted to replace a new school. Gideon didn’t know why he was actually worried that it would not be easy for Edith, so he found Joyce another school in advance.

Gideon casually made an excuse. “The school over there is more suitable for her. If you miss Joyce, you can go to play with her.”

“1…” Jeanne didn’t like Joyce.

The rag doll she carefully made was thrown to the ground and stomped by Joyce, and it took her a long time to wash it clean.

Gideon could tell Jeanne didn’t like Joyce.

He squatted down and looked at Jeanne, his voice much gentler than before.

“It seems I said the wrong words. Let’s change a topic. Are you curious about me?”

Every time he met Ruben and Jeanne, Jeanne would look at him with widened eyes.

‘Did Edith speak ill of me in front of them?‘ Gideon wondered.

Jeanne nodded and asked what confused her, “Gideon, why did you have a child with someone else?”

‘Why does he abandon Mommy and us and live with others?‘ she thought, feeling a wave of grievance.

Gideon was stunned, unable to believe these words came from a child.

How should he explain it?

It seemed there was no way to explain it.

Gideon was silent for a while, and his eyes dimmed. He said, “You should ask your mother about this.”

In his view, it was Edith who had children with someone else, and the two children were even standing in front of him.

Ruben actually also wanted to know the answer. Gideon’s words made him feel Gideon was shirking responsibility, which made a terrible impression on him.

Ruben thought angrily, ‘Bad daddy! He abandoned us and even wanted to put the blame on Mommy!‘

Ruben stepped forward in a fit of temper, pushed Gideon away, and glared at him.

Gideon’s legs were a little numb from squatting. The sudden push made him flop to the ground embarrassingly.

Gideon’s buttocks hurt in pain, and he could barely speak.

Fortunately, the students were all in class. If they caught this scene, he might become the

laughingstock of them.

Ever since Gideon met Ruben and Jeanne, he seemed to have been unlucky, which depressed him a lot.

Seeing Gideon was pushed to the ground, Jeanne was amused and finally smiled.

“You deserve it because you bullied our mommy!” She made a face at Gideon.

Gideon was confused, wondering, ‘Have I ever bullied Edith? Did she make a mistake? Come on. I’m the only one who was hurt.

Ruben and Jeanne strode away without giving Gideon a chance to explain.
