Chapter 34

Nate attended the most prestigious private kindergarten in all of Streamville, a place where only the children of wealthy and influential families were enrolled. Given the Howard family’s prominent status in the town, it would be inevitable for anyone to marginalize Nate.

“They call me dumb, a bastard,” Nate said, tears welling up in his eyes as he glanced at Natalie with a whisper.

Natalie was stunned.

“Your mom’s a homewrecker, shameless, you’re a little bitch…” Flashbacks from her childhood surged violently through her mind. Natalie knew all too well how devastating bullying could be. But she never imagined that words like “bastard” would come from the mouths of three- or four–year–old children.

Although she didn’t know who Nate’s mother was, he was still recognized as a descendant of the Howard family. How could he be called a bastard?

Perhaps Nate was born through surrogacy, which would explain why he didn’t have a mother. Such arrangements were not

uncommon in the high society.

After a moment of silence, she wrapped her arms around Nate and comforted him softly, “I think Nate is smart. You’re just a little late in starting to talk, that’s all. A dumb kid wouldn’t remember how to get to kindergarten.”

As Natalie spoke, Nate’s tears fell in earnest, and he sniffled, “Then… will you come to pick up me?”

Natalie’s heart softened at his tears, and she gently nodded, “Of course.”
