Angeline understood how hard it was for Baby Zetty to not have her feelings reciprocated. Though when she saw how Baby Zetty was pursuing love so irrationally time and again, Angeline figured that Jay's concerns were not entirely unreasonable.

Angeline held Baby Zetty's hands and said earnestly, "I f you like someone, Baby Zetty, then you should become a better version of yourself for him so you won't need to look up to him when you stand next to him. When both of you can respect and rely on each other, that's when your relationship will last forever."

Baby Zetty nodded. "Okay, Mommy."

Angeline returned home uneasily. Jay was sitting on the couch, staring at his phone screen while daydreaming.

A text message from the teacher was displayed on the screen. It read: [Sir Ares, I think you should make a trip to the school in person. The child's mother may be too young to communicate with us.] Jay was slightly stunned. It seemed that Angeline, who had always adopted a neutral attitude toward test results, had a conflict with the radical teacher. Now the teacher was blaming Angeline for being too young?

When Angeline walked into the house, Jay straightened his back and studied her face with a lackadaisical gaze.

Angeline was wearing a lace sleeveless shirt and a knee-length green skirt. She had slightly curly long hair and bangs, making her look youthful and beautiful.

Indeed, she did not look like a mother at all.

Angeline, who was clearly guilty, was startled when she saw Jay.

"Darling?"

Jay pretended as though he did not know what was going on and asked, "How was the talk with the teacher?"

Angeline replied without hesitation, "It was really pleasant."

Jay glanced at the phone screen and could sense the teacher's helplessness from across the screen.

"What did you talk about?"

"About our children's education."

"What did the teacher say?"

"The teacher said that Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty did not do well in their exams, and the children themselves are under psychological pressure. They suggest that we encourage them more, and if conditions permit, we can apply for them to go to day school and hire a tutor to give them extra lessons," Angeline replied nonsensically with a straight face.

Jay,

He looked at Angeline helplessly... The trio was playing out a scene of deep familial love among themselves as siblings and mother.

"What do you think then?" Jay asked tentatively.

Angeline's eyes flickered as she said, "I think that teachers are engineers of the human soul. They know their students best. Since they've proposed a solution, then as parents, I think we should cooperate with them!"

Jay nodded. "Mm. You're right."

Though in his heart, he thought, 'You have your strategies and I have mine.'

Angeline was surprised by how easily she had deceived Jay and was secretly delighted. "I'll apply for day school for the children tomorrow, then."

"Mm."

Angeline was relieved.

At night, Angeline found a book on her bedside table that had come out of nowhere-Pinocchio.

Angeline then recalled the protagonist Pinocchio whose nose grew extremely long from lying, and she could not help but touch her nose...

Jay sat on the bed and looked at the embarrassed look on her face with a leisurely gaze.

It was only then did Angeline realize that Jay had found out about her lies.

"I'm going to the study to do some reading." Angeline picked up the book and walked outside.

Jay was struck dumb... This woman must be punishing him, right?

Apart from the few days when he was ill, they had never slept in separate rooms before. Jay called out to her and surrendered, "Don't be mad, Angeline. Come here."

Angeline turned around and complained without much confidence, "How did you find out I lied?"

Jay got out of bed and carried the grumpy Angeline onto the bed, coaxing her, "The teacher sent me a text message."

Angeline was struck dumb.
