Genius

"Hello dear, are you—"

Before Carl who had matched his body with Jaden finished his sentence, first Daniel who was also there let out his voice without any hesitation.

"Introducing our son Jaden Alexander," said Daniel, who was holding Jaden's and Jenni's hands, as if to give strength to Jenni, who Daniel knew very well that she was quite nervous in front of Michael, who seemed to stare at Jenni wanting to eat her alive.

"Oh my gosh, Jen! Can't you even call me to tell me something important like this? Don't you remember that I'm your brother too?"

Thump!

Jenny bit her lip lightly. She knew she was wrong, it wasn't that she didn't want to tell Michael, it's just that in her view she would be much better off if only a few people knew where she was hiding, although in the end, he ventured back to be near Daniel.

"So-sorry."

That one word that only came out of Jenni's mouth.

Michael took a deep breath. He was well aware that Jenni certainly didn't mean that to him.

"You'll have to explain everything to me later Jen."

"Hum, I'll explain everything to you."

Jaden, who had been confused about what had happened, finally turned to the little girl wearing a pink dress in front of him.

"Friends," said the little girl while blinking her eyes slowly with a wide grin inviting Jaden to get acquainted.

"Wh-who are you?" Jaden asked shyly as he let go of his father's hand.

"Lily."

"Jaden," said Jaden who had held out his hand to Lily.

The little girl smiled again and took Jaden's hand of course.

The atmosphere that previously felt awkward was now spontaneously filled with small chuckles and it was also clear that they seemed to be smiling at the interaction of the two kids.

The two little kids seemed to lighten the atmosphere there.

"Hi Lily, you are so beautiful," said Jenni who praised her adopted brother's daughter.

The little girl looked a little embarrassed while thanking Jenni for the compliment given by Jenni.

Seeing that the atmosphere there had begun to melt, Carl quickly took over saying to sit on an empty bench so that the dinner that night could take place.

Inevitably everyone who was there immediately followed Carl's instructions, until...

"Jack? You're here apparently, Daniel said you weren't here," said Jenni who found Jack behind Carl.

Daniel, who heard Jenni's call, naturally followed Jenni's gaze.

"Shouldn't you be home already?"

Daniel, who was no less surprised by Jenni, spontaneously asked Jack about the same thing.

"I asked him to arrange it here, after all, I had backed up there before I left here."

Hearing Carl's answer, of course, Daniel could no longer continue his debate, what was most important for him was that his company's business was not experiencing any problems, it was more than enough.

The atmosphere of dinner that night seemed special for every individual there without exception.

Each other seemed so harmonious enjoying every dinner that was served in front of them.

'This is just the name of a big family, don't you want something like this dear? If you were here wouldn't it be nice?' The monologue suddenly remembers his dead wife.

Jenni couldn't stop smiling, loving the atmosphere this time she was feeling. There was a little regret that she could feel when she saw what happened today, but if she recalled the events in the past then she was also not too sure if she didn't do the same thing in the past, because after all at that time she was being destroyed by being filled frenzy.

At one time, Jenni was like being hit by a ticking time bomb. Jenni at that time, who was not as brave as she is today, finally chose to be a coward to escape from the reality she was supposed to face.

Late?

Of course, it's never too late to start over!

That's the sentence that Jenni finally chose when she started to dare to face reality like today.

Wouldn't it be better to be late and start over, rather than not daring to start over?

Regrets often come late, but there's nothing wrong with correcting yourself so that in the future there will be no continuous regrets.

"Mommy, do you know everyone here?" Jaden asked at last between his meals.

"Of course, Mommy knows them, and you can tell everyone here is family, and that means your family too baby."

"Is that true?" Jaden asked, looking enthusiastic at Jenni's statement.

A soft nod Jenni gave in response.

"Woah, it turns out that Mommy's family is a lot," said Jaden too innocently.

A soft chuckle escaped Jenni's lips.

"The person opposite you is Uncle Michael, Mommy's older brother and Uncle Axelle's brother, then beside Uncle Michael is Aunty Kylie, as well as her daughter Lily, while next to Daddy is Grandpa Clark, and also Uncle Jack, then uncle- "

"Uncle Axelle, and Uncle Edward I know him well Mommy, Ah ... didn't Mommy say earlier that this uncle is Mommy's brother and Axelle's uncle is also this uncle's brother, then Mommy and Uncle Axelle are brother and sister?"

Spontaneously Daniel was surprised to hear his son who had just turned 3 years old ask very critically. Wouldn't it be like that his son could be said to be a genius for his age?

'How can Jaden remember it so well?' In In Monologue Daniel is still amazed by his son.

'It turns out that Jenni did have a good upbringing.' Praise Clark in his heart for Jenni.

"You could say that."

"No wonder you are so overprotective that the uncles who approached Mommy all ran away."

Then Daniel who previously praised Jaden in his mind spontaneously looked at Axelle and was about to thank Axelle if that was the case.

Doesn't that mean that Axelle has been very concerned about his and Jenni's relationship?

Oh, come on Daniel with all his short thoughts on the vantage point for him.

"Baby, can you not say something like that here?" Jenni whispered to Jaden who didn't feel the least bit guilty.

"Did Jaden misspeak Mommy?"

Instantly Jenni was faced with a difficult question from the boy.

'I almost forgot that my son is a genius, so you shouldn't have stirred things up so you don't end up asking his magical questions.'
