Chapter 1455


    Jeremy recalled what Sophia said, that ‘Benjamin’ looked different somehow. He narrowed his eyes to


    get a better look at him but found nothing odd about him.


    Suddenly, an image of the girl he saw on the field shed across his mind. He was sure he had seen


    her somewhere before.


    Moreover, he could not help but feel his chest tightening at the thought of her chatting andughing


    away with another man.


    ‘Who is she? Where have I seen her before?’ he kept wondering.


    Meanwhile…


    It was already dinner time by the time Corinne and the rest of them returned to the Holdens’ mansion.


    Pam immediately came to wee them back when she heard their voices. Corinne and Francine


    came in with the three kids, whereas Chester had already gone back to his school.


    Even though Pam was old and frail, she would still want to pick up his great-grandchildren for hugs


    and kisses whenever she saw them.

    She picked up the lightest of the three of them, Christine, and asked, “Did you have fun today,


    sweetheart?”


    Christine wrapped her arms around Pam’s neck and nodded. “Yeah! It was super fun. The food you


    made was super yummy, Great-grandma! We all love it so much.”


    Her high praises made Pam grin from ear to ear. “Really? Then I’ll make super yummy food for you


    every day!”


    Christine smiled and nodded. “Yay! But Great-grandma, Bryan didn’t have much fun today. He was


    scolded by Mommy for running off by himself.”


    Pam immediately frowned. “What? Bryan ran off alone?”


    Christine nodded rapidly. “Yeah! You should scold him so he won’t make Mommy angry again. She was


    so angry at him that it nearly made her cry.”


    Pam put Christine down and was about to pull ‘Bryan’ to ask him what happened, but he


    immediately hid behind Corinne’s back as though he had seen a scary person.


    Pam was visibly hurt by his reaction. “What’s the matter, Bryan? Don’t you want to talk to me


    anymore? I’m just going to ask you what happened. I promise I won’t scold you. Come.”


    ‘Bryan’ continued to hide behind Corinne, hugging her legs anxiously.


    ‘I’m not Bryan! The only reason I came here is because I like this nicedy!’ he thought. Other than


    that, he was scared of the unfamiliar environment and strange people around him.


    Sophia rarely took him out. Most of his time was spent at home with Jeremy, so he did not get to see


    other people much. This made him very frightened of all strangers except for the gentle Corinne.


    Seeing how scared he looked, Corinne said to Pam, “It’s okay, Grandma. I’ve already lectured him.


    He must still be experiencing some after-shock. I’m sure he’ll be fine and talk to youter in the night.”


    Pam looked worriedly at ‘Bryan’, then back at Corinne. “Corinne, what exactly happened? Is it as


    Christine said? That Bryan ran off by himself?”


    Corinne nodded. “Yeah. He saw a kid with a toy he really liked, so he ran off to find that kid without


    telling us. It was a good thing we found him quickly. He has promised he won’t do it anymore after I


    scolded him.”


    Even though Pam was not on the scene, she could not help but shudder at what happened. “Thank


    you for your hard work, Corinne. Taking care of three kids isn’t easy. Not to mention, they’re at a very


    naughty age where you can’t ever take your eyes off them. I’m so d the family has you.”


    Corinne smiled. “It’s all worth it since they’re my kids.”
