Chapter 260

“What is your mom’s name?” asked Casper eagerly.

The boy lowered his head, “…I don’t remember.”

He clearly didn’t want to tell them.

Balvina gave him a look asking him to be patient and turned to the boy with a gentle. smile, “Your eyes are gorgeous, Aspen. Does your mom have grey eyes as well?”

The boy bit the bait and raised his head back up, “No! Mom has brown eyes like amber. They are also very pretty.”

Casper’s heart almost jumped out of his throat–Janet had brown eyes!

“I bet your mom is a very attractive lady,” Balvina smiled. “I bet she has curvy long hair?”

“Yes! Very long hair. All the way to her waist! But not very curvy, more like straight!” Aspen looked very excited showing off his beautiful mommy to the others, “And she has a heart–shaped face and the body of a female warrior. She is the most beautiful woman I know!”

The glass slipped from Casper’s grip and fell to the floor, making a breaking sound.

He was shaking as his mind screamed-

…That was Janet!

The boy’s mother was Janet!

Aspen was startled by that breaking glass and cried, “What happened?”

“…Nothing.”

Casper tried everything he could to keep up with a calm expression and said to the boy, “Your aunt Balvina and I need to have a word alone. You and Jasmine just go ahead and dig in. Balvina?”

He gestured for Balvina to follow him and marched towards the next room.

As soon as the door closed behind their back, Balvina let out a small gasp, “Holy fuck…that boy’s mom-”

“That is Janet’s child!” Casper snapped, clenching his fists.

Tuck that boy’s mom-”

“That is Janet’s child!” Casper snapped, clenching his fists.

“No. Wait Let us calm down for a second.”

Balvina covered her forehead with one hand and paced back and forth in the room, “A lot of women have brown eyes and heart–shaped faces that doesn’t mean anything-”

“But that sniffing thing?” Casper said in a trembling voice, “Janet always sniffed her. food before eating! To make sure that her food is safe and clean. That is a quirk she got when she was staying with the Diaz. I have never seen anybody else do that!”

The couple exchanged a shocking look.

Crap.
