Chapter 72 Mother-and-Son Talk
Matthew sniffed and he sobbed as Jessica did. Then he fell into her arms and said in a trembling voice,
“I am not Jason. I’m Matthew... I lied to you, mom, I’m so sorry.”
“Lie?” Jessica smiled gently with tears in her eyes, “no, no, you should have told mom earlier, my
boy...”
He paused for a second and then looked up at Jessica, and he was a bit worried, “can, can I call you
mom?”
Jessica was shocked and she could feel the pain from his eyes.
She was soft-hearted and answered, “of course!”
Matthew’s eyes blazed and said, “Really? So Jason and I are mom’s children, right?”
Jessica cradled his face, gave a determined look at him and answered firmly, “Sure! You and Jason are
my kids. My sweeties, mom misses you so much these five years...”
“Mom...” Matthew who was always composed and cool cried out in her arms suddenly... And it seemed
that he had been waiting for it for five years.
Jessica was crying and hugging him so tightly...
They could feel the love for each other...
At that moment, Jessica found her life was perfectly great.
She finally got her twins back.
However, she couldn’t believe that the man who made her pregnant and gave birth to these two cute
boys was Louis, a composed and haughty guy. But, her heart opened up suddenly and she felt the
warmth was flowing into her heart.
She smiled with tears when she was hugging Matthew.
She felt delighted and warm.
“Asshole! Thank you...”
“Thank you for letting me find my kid back...” Jessica was thinking in her mind.
That night since Jessica knew the truth, she couldn’t stop smiling.
Matthew was also delighted at the moment he knew that he was also mom’s kid and he finally didn’t
have to hide anything and pretend to be Jason anymore.
They were making the feast together cheerfully.
After supper, they sat on the sofa and shared what they had been through these five years.
They were eating snacks, watching TV and laughing.
Until midnight, Matthew went to sleep.
He was lying in Jessica’s arms and felt the love from his mom that he had never had these five years.
“Sweetie, it’s so late. You need to take a shower and go to bed.” Jessica held up her son and took him
to the bathroom.
Matthew was blushed, and it was the first time for him to feel shy.
He was grabbing Jessica’s collar tightly and said, “Mom... I...”
Jessica looked at him softly and pinched his nose gently, “are you shy? Jason won’t go to sleep if I
don’t help him take a shower. You are so different to him! Forgive me, I was just too busy before so that
I didn’t pay enough attention to you...”
To be honest, it never occurred to her that she would have a chance to see the other son again. All the
moms around the world definitely accept their kids no matter what they became.
Besides, she thought that kid would change as he grew up. A mom would never doubt her son just
because of a sudden change in his personality.
According to this kind of thought, Jessica would ignore the other possibility.
She had never expected that her twins would switch their life.
But she felt she was so lucky.
Thanks to the fate that she could have a chance to get her kid back to her...
Matthew shook his head and said, “It’s not your fault. I hid it on purpose... I am afraid that mom...” He
paused and didn’t dare to continue.
“Silly boy. Are you afraid that I will dump you?”
Jessica sighed and held him to the bathroom.
She was taking off his close and sighing, “My sweetie, why do you think so?”
“I didn’t have mom…” Matthew choked with a sob.
Jessica felt like sobbing as well and chimed, “my boy, mom is here.”
She was greatly shocked when she saw there were some light bruises on his body.
“What happened to you? How did you get those bruise...”
Matthew looked down and he felt sad and pouted, “I got those from the Carters...”
Then he told him what he had been through living with the Carters.
When he was one, he could walk. His grandma told him that the man who was strong and tall was his
dad. Matthew was so delighted and ran to him, but he couldn’t run steadily and fell on the ground.
However, his dad ignored him and left with Matthew lying on the ground crying out loud.
When he was two, he could recite the pi. It was so rare for his dad to come back home, and he ran to
his dad happily and wanted to recite the pi to him. However, his dad only told him in a cold voice, “Do
you think you are a genius?” Then he left.
After that, Matthew began to study so hard. Once he was lazy in his study he would remind himself with
the pain of hurting himself.
When he was three, he made fast progress. And one day, Matthew ran excitedly to his dad and wanted
to show his dad the exam paper which he got a full mark. However, the paper fell on the ground
because of the wind, and his dad didn’t give it a look but stepped on it.
When he was four, he already felt nothing towards his dad. He became a quiet boy. Until one day, the
driver sent him back home, he saw an injured dog on the roadside, and he decided to take it back and
named it “Bella”. Then Bella became his best friend. However, his dad hated Bella so much...
When he was five, he had his first argument with his dad because of Bella. He felt thoroughly
disappointed with his dad and he didn’t want to come back to the house of the Carters anymore.
He got those bruises on the day when he had an argument with his dad, and for saving Bella, he was
pulled and dragged by the servants.
“Louis Carter! He is an asshole!” After hearing what Matthew told her, she was feeling so sorry for him
and she was so angry with Louis. “How could he treat his son so cruelly?”
Her heart couldn’t help aching for her sons when she thought of how rude he treated Jason.
Matthew looked so gloomy and he felt so guilty and sobbed, “Mom, I am selfish, right? I shouldn’t have
told Jason to replace me...”
“Silly boy.” Jessica took a deep breath and tried to control her anger and then looked at Matthew,
“Actually, your personality is just like your dad’s. You two are so composed, stubborn and haughty, so
when you guys are staying together, you guys will only be mad at each other. But Jason is so tricky. So,
I don’t worry that he will get hurt living with the Carters. But...” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“But what?” Matthew was curious.
“I am worrying that Jason can’t hide the truth and tells your dad about you and me.” Jessica sighed.
Matthew touched Jessica’s face gently and his eyes were twinkling with the consideration which he
was supposed to have at his age. “Mom, I have been wondering these days that why Jason and I can’t
live with you and dad together? Why didn’t we know each other for five years? Why does dad mention
nothing about mom? And why do you say that dad has gone to the heaven? There are so many
questions I want to know but I can’t get the answer.”
“So, you don’t dare to tell me because you are afraid that once I know the truth, you will have to go
back to the house of the Carters?”
Jessica could easily see through what he was thinking in mind.
Matthew said yes slightly.
Jessica hugged him into her arms feeling so sorry. “Silly boy! Who told you that you are a genius? In
my eyes, you are just a silly boy...”
She thought she was so lucky to get her kid back to her and she could feel warm. Her heart couldn’t
help pounding faster.
Was that the sense of happiness?
She was hugging Matthew so tight and the tears welled up her eyes. And she confessed to Matthew
the secret she had hidden for five years. “You dummy, the reason why I didn’t tell you is because...
Jason is the kid I gave birth to secretly. The Carters don’t know that.”
Matthew soon realized and said, “So mom, you are afraid that once they know about Jason, they will
take him back to them, right?”
Jessica nodded bitterly.
She was so grateful that she could give birth to two boys. One was considerate and the other was cute
and innocent. She was so satisfied.
This night, Jessica and Matthew, who finally reunited, lied on the bed and chatted for a whole night...
The next morning, Jessica got up early and prepared breakfast for Matthew.
Matthew was like his dad, who was also a neat freak. He would always fold the quilt so neatly and
cleaned himself.
“Sweetie, Jason likes sour and spicy food, how about you?” Jessica asked him from the kitchen and
she was cooking noodles.
She had always been mistaking Matthew for Jason before so that she didn’t ask him about his taste at
all. Now, she wanted to know more about Matthew and tried to make it up for him.
“Actually...” Matthew stood by the kitchen and he was a bit shy, “I like something delicate.”
Jessica turned back and had a look at him who was a bit embarrassed then she laughed out loud.
Matthew always could control his emotion, but he also laughed because of Jessica.
“Matthew, you look exactly the same as your dad! You know what, your dad is always a poker face and
he looks so cool. But actually...” Suddenly, Jessica lowered her voice and chimed, “let me tell you a
secret. You dad looks cool, but he is so enthusiastic when his clothes are all taken off...”
Matthew was shocked and he was wide-eyed. “Really?”
Jessica nodded and continued, “But even he is naked, he is still an asshole. He is a cool asshole with
clothes on, but if he takes off his clothes, he would be a cute asshole!”
Jessica infected Matthew with her laughter and he couldn’t help laughing as well.
Nothing would be happier to share a bitter hatred of the same enemy.
