Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 267

Chapter 267

The adults didn’t bring up Kendrick’s accident in front of Alex. Before Christopher and Joyce flew to Nardor, they had come up with an excuse that they had work to do there, so they wanted Alex to stay with Yuliana during that period of time.

Even though Alex was playful and mischievous, the private education he had received from Kendrick made him mature and wiser than regular children. He may not display those traits most of the time, but his maturity and wisdom were evidently there. Even if none of the adults told Alex anything about Kendrick’s accident, he had already developed an inkling of what actually happened.

Ever since Joyce brought him to Yuliana’s apartment that afternoon, Alex remained quiet and obedient, which was completely different from his playful and carefree behavior. He even responded to Joyce’s reminders seriously.

Before Joyce left, Alex had taken the initiative to hug her and told her not to worry about him. He then promised to complete his homework on time, and that he would always study diligently.

It was as if Alex had grown up overnight.

However, he was only eight years old.

Yuliana didn’t persuade Alex anymore. Instead, she just smiled gently. “How about I keep you company while you do your homework?”

Alex paused in writing for a moment. He tilted his head to glance at Yuliana in hesitation before he nodded.

Alex was able to answer the questions very quickly. Since he had already completed the curriculum of the second and third grades, the summer homework meant for first-graders was obviously not a problem for him. However, there were many questions in the exercise book, so he still needed more than an hour to complete it.

Finally, Alex went to bed at eleven o’clock.

Yuliana sat next to his bed while tucking him in. “Sleep well.”

Alex’s eyes remained open as he stared at her unblinkingly.

He stared at Yuliana for a while without saying anything. The latter asked, “What’s wrong? Is the bed too uncomfortable for you? Or is it because you’re not used to sleeping here?”

Alex just shook his head. “Nope.”
