Chapter 18 Matthew changed to be Jason
Five years ago, she lost one kid, and now she could still feel that pain.
She couldn’t let it happen again.
“Jason, Mommy asked your teacher already and she said that you got your report card yesterday. It’s
OK that you didn’t get a good mark. I promise you that I will never give you too much pressure. And I
won’t scold you anymore, OK?”
Jessica was crying while she was holding her son. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Because she knew deep down that the kid she lost was taken by those who from a wealthy family.
And the kid must be educated so well.
Therefore, she would try her best to make Jason be excellent.
That was the reason why she was putting so much pressure on him.
However, when she saw the waves were about to sweep away her kid, she realized that nothing would
be more important than the safety of her kid.
“Promise me. Never do it again. Never run away from home without letting me know. OK?”
Matthew lifted his eyebrows and looked up at the woman who was crying in front of him.
He could feel the warm from her hug.
And his heart was softened.
Matthew guessed that the sea must read his mind and give him a mother.
But, why she kept calling him Jason?
“Jason?” Jessica looked at him who was so calm and he didn’t cry and say anything. He was a bit
different.
Something horrible came up to her mind.
Then she pulled him closer and had a look at his body.
She was so frightened until she found he didn’t get hurt.
But something was wrong...
“Jason, tell Mommy. What happened to you last night? Where is your school uniform and your school
bag?”
The news of child abuse flashed into her mind.
She was more and more scared.
Matthew saw that she was that nervous, he felt it so warm.
But he had no idea about school uniform and school bag.
So he didn’t know how he could answer her questions.
Then he blinked his eyes.
“Hey, Jason...”
He passed out and fell into Jessica’s arms.
Fine, he didn’t avoid it but he was too starving.
He could feel that the hug of mom was that warm...
In the house
Martha, Jessica and Matthew were gathering around a small table, and they were having lunch.
Jessica was so happy because she found her son back but Martha was crying since she was so
worried about him.
However, Matthew was as elegant and composed as usual.
He was sitting nicely at the table, having his meal quietly without making any sound.
“Jason, have a try. Grandma made the dish you like the most.”
Martha kept putting food into Matthew’s bowl.
Martha felt that she seemed like having waited for Jason to come back home for ages though she just
didn’t see him for around ten hours from yesterday afternoon until now.
Matthew slightly nodded his head.
And he was a bit shy.
From the moment this woman hugged him tightly until he got in home of a boy named Jason and saw
his photos, Matthew was smart enough to understand what happened to him.
Obviously, they mistook him as the boy who was wearing a phony smile in the photo.
Jason?
Fine, Matthew would be him, because he didn’t want to go back to the house of the Carters.
And he hated his poker-face dad, and he didn’t want to see him anymore!
Matthew slightly lifted his eyebrows and there was a smile flashing on his face, which was inherited
from his father. Martha and Jessica couldn’t notice it.
The meal finished in a weird harmony.
Jessica was peeking at her son while she was cleaning the table.
“Jason, I helped you ask for a leave already. So you will stay at home with grandma and take a good
rest, OK?”
Matthew wasn’t willing to mention what happened last night, so she didn’t force him in case that he
would leave home again.
“OK.” Matthew answered.
He had walked for a long way since he ran out from the house of the Carters.
He kept walking the whole night, so he was starving and exhausted.
Jessica just broke into his boring life but unexpectedly he didn’t repel her.
Matthew accepted all.
Jessica signed and she took a look at him.
She put down the chopsticks and bowls, walked over to him and squatted down
Jessica rubbed his face with her fingers gently.
“Jason, don’t be mad at Mommy. I told you that I would never force you to study. No matter what scores
you get, I promise that I will not be angry with you. So, promise me, don’t leave again. OK?”
Jessica was still worried about him and she repeated her words and she was afraid that he still cared
about his scores.
Matthew looked at Jessica seriously.
And he could feel the warm from her fingers.
And his heart was pounding so fast.
“OK, I promise you, Mommy.” He choked with sob and finally promised her.
Matthew found it so delighted to call out “Mommy”.
He felt it so good.
Then Jessica felt relieved and smiled.
“Good boy! You are my good boy!” Then she grabbed his face and gave him a kiss.
She felt at ease finally.
Martha laughed as well.
It was so good that he came home safely.
