Five minutes later.
Alexander handed a set of casual clothes worn by the maids to Suzy, smiling, "Mommy, you should change into something else. I want to play soccer, and what you're wearing is not suitable."
Suzy was dumbfounded. "Play... play soccer?"
For a moment, she thought she had heard wrong.
Alexander nodded, taking out a brand new soccer ball from behind him, smiling with an 'innocent' look.
"The biggest wish in my life is to play soccer with Mommy. Mommy, you love me so much, you will surely fulfill my request, right?"
Suzy's expression began to crack.
How could Alexander easily let her off? Pouting his little mouth, squeezing his eyes forcefully, tears welled up, "Sob... You say you love me, miss me, and care for me. Is that fake? You don't really like me. You don't even want to play soccer with me. I hate you, and I don't like you anymore."
Ellena and Ethan looked disheveled.
Seeing Alexander cry, Suzy wanted to give him a couple of slaps, but constrained by Ethan, she had to suppress the anger and reluctantly agreed, "Don't cry, I promise you."
Alexander's change of expression was extremely fast; he immediately smiled, with no trace of tears on his face.
Suzy was infuriated but held it in. She reluctantly took off her million-dollar dress, put on a cheap set of clothes from a street vendor, tied up her hair in large waves, and wore smelly sneakers worn by the maids.
A rich girl transformed into a commoner.
Suzy felt like there were prickles in her clothes, itching all over, scratching here and there.
Alexander stifled his laughter so much that his stomach hurt. Tilting his chin up, he coolly said, "Alright, let's go play soccer!"
Suzy threw a pleading look at Ethan.
She really didn't want to play soccer with this kid.
Sitting there, Ethan paid no attention, fully engrossed in the financial news in his hands.
Suzy again looked at Ellena for help.
Helplessly, Ellena stood up and said to Alexander, "Noah, would you like Auntie to play with you? Mommy just arrived and must be tired; let her rest for a bit."
Alexander shook his head, resolute, "Auntie is auntie, mommy is mommy. Mommy can bring me joy and companionship that Auntie can never replace."
Ellena was astonished, silently thinking, when did this little guy become so eloquent?
Failing twice in seeking help, Suzy resigned herself to accompany Alexander to the garden.
Looking at Suzy across from him, Alexander grinned wickedly, aimed at her stomach, and kicked hard.
The soccer ball directly hit Suzy's abdomen, making her squat down in pain, cold sweat streaming.
Ignoring her pain, Alexander picked up the soccer ball and urged eagerly, "Mommy, stand up quickly, here comes another one..."
Suzy's small face twisted into a grimace, waving her hand with difficulty, "No, I can't, my stomach hurts..."
Pouting, Alexander looked at her with disdain, "You're useless. How can you be my mommy like this? How can I make my daddy marry you if you're like this?"
Hearing the words 'marry you,' Suzy, as if injected with chicken blood, looked at Alexander with excitement, "Can you really convince your daddy to marry me?"
Alexander smiled slyly, "Of course, if there's a mommy who loves me, willing to play with me, I naturally hope our family will be happy and complete."
With these words, Suzy endured the pain and reluctantly stood up.
"Mommy, here I come again. Pay attention to catch the ball..."
Alexander shouted loudly, kicking the soccer ball with force.
The football once again struck Suzy's chest, causing her intense pain, almost making her cough up blood.
However, under the urging and temptation of Alexander, she had no choice but to stand up again.
This time, Alexander showed no mercy, exerting all his strength and aiming at Suzy's delicately made-up face, delivering a fierce kick.
'Bang...'
The football hit Suzy's face accurately, leaving her completely stunned. Her eyes saw stars, and she fell to the ground unconscious, with blood coming out of her nose.
Alexander, excited, made a victory gesture and disdainfully said, "Serves you right! Who told you to be so bad, breaking up Noah and my mommy? Every time I see you, I'll mess you up. Hmph...!"
After saying that, he heartlessly turned and went inside.
Ethan and Ellena, seeing him come back so soon, couldn't help but glance behind him. Not seeing Suzy, they asked, "Where's your mommy?"
Alexander pouted, "Hit by the football, and fainted. So useless..."
Then, he swaggered upstairs.
Ellena and Ethan immediately got up to check. They saw Suzy sprawled on the lawn, with a football imprint on her face, her nose red and swollen, and nosebleed flowing into her mouth.
A pitiful sight.
Ellena couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
Ethan's mouth twitched, using all his willpower to control himself from breaking into a smile.
Half an hour later, the ambulance arrived and took Suzy away.
...
After leaving Chelsea Creek, Samantha went to the company.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, she went to the kindergarten to pick up her two children from school.
Because of the change in environment, she went early to ensure the children would adapt.
Fortunately, the things she worried about didn't happen; the two kids seemed to adapt well to the new environment.
On the way home, Charlotte talked non-stop about what happened at school.
Compared to her, Noah remained silent.
After Charlotte finished talking, Noah spoke in a deep voice, "Mommy, where did you go today? Were you with Karen?"
He always called people he disliked by their names, without any respect.
Samantha didn't understand why he had such a strong hostility towards Karen. She proudly said, "Mommy went to discuss work today! At Chelsea Creek, the home of richest man, Ethan Steele. I am amazing, right?"
"Chelsea Creek?"
Noah was stunned, his small face turning pale, and his lips trembling slightly, "Did you... did you see Ethan's son?"
Samantha shook her head with regret, "No, but I've been hired as the chef for Chelsea Creek. There will be many opportunities in the future. I'm sure I'll see him one day."
Noah's just relieved heart hung in the air again.
"A chef?"
If Mommy became a chef at Chelsea Creek, could Alexander's identity still be hidden? He hadn't found out the truth yet!
Samantha briefly recounted what happened today.
Noah's heart remained suspended, and when he returned home, he immediately tried to contact Alexander but couldn't reach him no matter how many times he tried.
