As the eldest son, he always acted mature, rarely clinging to Maureen like Ethan did.

So he hardly ever asked for hugs.

He hadn’t realized hugs could feel this comforting.

Maureen wiped her tears and flicked his forehead.

“No more taking matters into your own hands, or I’ll spank your bottom.”

Spank your bottom?

?

Jacob’s little face flushed even redder, like a ripe apple.

He coughed twice and lowered his voice: “Mom, I’m not a kid anymore. Aunt Katherine is still here.”

Because of this, the atmosphere Geoffrey had ruined earlier returned to normal, suddenly becoming lively.

It was Katherine’s first time seeing this little imp shy, so she teased him too.

“So someone’s had their bottom spanked before.”

Jacob: “…Never!”

Only this version of Jacob seemed like a real child.

Seeing her son’s flustered explanation, Maureen’s initial anger vanished completely.

Jacob and Ethan were treasures heaven had given her–she simply couldn’t stay mad at them.

Besides, she’d thought it through on the way here.

She could keep hiding from Geoffrey, but should her sons live in hiding too?

They’d done nothing wrong. Why couldn’t they go anywhere they wanted? Why couldn’t they come home?

Plus, today’s sudden situation had solidified her decision.

During dinner, Katherine suggested having someone take Jacob home, but Maureen refused.

“Katherine, I’ve thought it over. Hiding forever isn’t the solution.”
