We Are Meant To Be

Chapter 132 Strong Determination

After James went home that day, Juezun Feng and Weiyue Feng were asleep. He came to their room and kissed their foreheads. Usually, James would start thinking about An Ran, but strangely, this time Christy appeared on his thoughts instead.

James was so shocked. His head used to be full of him thinking about An Ran coming back into the Feng family and their kids. But this time, what had gotten into him? He quickly cleared up his thoughts about Christy and calmed himself down for a bit.

After he fixed their blankets, he walked out from their room. Then he saw Jing, who was standing not far away, staring at the kids' room.

He gently closed the door, and looked at her, then asked blandly, "what are you doing here? What if they become afraid if they see you like this?"

He knew the feeling of having someone staring at him was so uncomfortable, and honestly, he was a little dissatisfied with his mother.

She ignored his son's reaction and replied, "Come here, I have something to tell you." Their way of communicating was always so direct and straightforward, and no way that they could change it. James entered her room and sat down on the sofa on one side and said coldly, "okay, you can start talking now."

"What's wrong with that Christy girl? Do you know about the boy, around Juezun and Weiyue's age, who is with her all the time? Why would you want to get her the certificate, don't you investigate anything beforehand?" She glared at James fiercely while accusing him at the same time.

From James's viewpoint, his mother's children were letting her worry too much about them. Even so, they didn't even bother to appreciate her a little bit.

On the contrary, because she always took things too seriously, so she felt as if she didn't receive enough appreciation from her children. Besides, what could she do about it anyway? Also, no one exactly knew about her feelings except her; not even her children knew. They would do everything to avoid making her even more pissed off.

James frowned, he couldn't figure out why she should bring this up again. He replied impatiently, "well, since Christy decided to adopt that kid, it shows that she is a loving person. Also, just in case we ever need her help, she wouldn't mind taking care of the twins since she is quite experienced."

James blurted out such a brilliant idea, but there must be a chance where his expectation did not match reality.

But Jing Lu sneered at his son, "You aren't out of your mind, are you? What makes you think that way? Is it because she takes care of a child? There's a possibility that she gave birth to him."

She was not talking nonsense, and this shook James's heart a little. But he knew very well that Christy didn't give birth to that boy. The twins and her child were the same age, so there was no way that she had another child.

James replied confidently, "don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and let's not discuss this any further."

He would only discuss important matters with her, and if not necessary, he did not like to waste time on those.

James didn't want to talk about this matter with his mother if it was not that important. They maintained a mother-and-son relationship when they were discussing official issues; on the other hand, there was enmity between them when it came to private matters. They hardly ever handle personal problems together.

Jing Lu knew well what she said just now, and she was sure James definitely heard her. But that was something she couldn't control.

"It's okay with me, but how will you explain to Yvonne about this? The Jiang family can't be easily fooled, and you have a huge cooperation project, so pay attention to your actions later."

She was wise enough to remind him about this, but her tone and her way of speaking gave him an unpleasant feeling. He was a grown-up man, how could he simply accept her criticism?

James had his own theory and spitted it out, "Does your Lu family feel inferior to the Jiangs? But you used to not..." he could not finish his words, because there was his father on one side, and his mother on the other. He really shouldn't say such things.

Jing's face became grim. She was always depressed even after all these years, but she knew there was nothing such as a perfect life. And even if she was unhappy about it, what could she do? Besides, she could maintain her degree as a part of the Feng family.

"Mom, it's getting late. Tomorrow let me take care of the twins. You can rest for a bit." James's tone calmed down, which gave her a slight sense of comfort. Although they hired a lot of skilled nannies, she insisted on taking care of the twins every day because there were a lot of things that needed her care.

Luckily, the twins were James's own children, and they would do everything for them willingly.

"Alright, good night, son!" Jing Lu gave up and spoke to him in despair.

James stood up and walked out of Jing Lu's room. This day could pass anytime soon, and tomorrow would be a brand new day.

This weekend was peaceful for James. He had been with the twins all the time. Meanwhile, Christy also had a relatively quiet weekend. She was able to stay with Justin and spent a lovely weekend with Wen. On Sunday, they had dinner at seven and finished earlier because they wanted to have a good rest. Tomorrow they should go to school, to work, and the new busy and intense week was about to begin. "Ryan, do you want to take a shower early today to get ready for bed?" Christy asked him after she cleaned up her kitchen. She thought if Ryan and Justin got to bed earlier, then she and Wen could do their things with a peace of mind.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"No, I want Mommy Wen to teach me arithmetic!" Justin loved studying so much. He would always learn things by initiative and was an active kid. No matter what they were talking about, he would take the initiative to ask them to lecture him later.

After she heard such a fuss, Wen replied "Okay, I'll give you a few math questions. Afterwards, you have to write down the 26 letters in English and Chinese phonetic alphabet, five times each." Wen should know that a child's homework should match their level and ability.

Christy overheard their conversation, she became a little worried and said to Wen, "Don't always teach these things to my son. He needs some time to learn them all." She did not mind if Justin was not a genius or whatsoever, just as long as he was healthy and safe, she felt enough.

On the brighter side, Justin learned things that children of his age didn't understand yet. His vision opened up more. He had his own brilliant way of thinking. He said to Christy, "why am I not allowed to learn these? What's the matter with one's age? Come to think about it. If I grow up earlier, I can protect you both!" He remembered Wen in everything he did that made her feel she was one of the family.
