"Did Mommy tell you that?"

Swedum nodded solemnly.

"Mommy lied to you. I am telling the truth. Mommy's face is ruined. She will always keep the red spots on her face. Do you mind?"

Johny looked at his son calmly.

"No, I don't," said Swedum as he looked at his daddy seriously.

"Don't answer me so quickly. If Mommy's face is no longer the same as before, your classmates will ask about it in kindergarten, primary school, middle school, or university. They may even mock you and alienate you because of this."

Johny's words were cruel, but the reality was even crueler.

"Then I won't play with them anymore." Swedum thought about it carefully.

"Why is that?"

"The teacher said that we shouldn't judge people by their appearance. If they are like that, they are not good people, so I should stay away from them." Swedum shrugged as if he didn't care.

Johny was very satisfied with his son's answer. "Okay. But there is another problem now. Mommy has low self-esteem. Do you know what low self-esteem is?"

Swedum nodded again.

"Mommy doesn't care about the red spots on her face. She is worried the red spots on her face will cause trouble for you and me. She is worried that your classmates might laugh at you. Moreover, Mommy is a woman. Women care about their appearance very much."

"Then I will go to tell Mommy that she will always be the most beautiful Mommy in the world! Daddy, don't dislike Mommy!"

Swedum stared at Johny seriously. Swedum thought that the one who should worry about this was Johny.

Johny felt much more at ease after listening to his son's words.

"If one day you are bothered with what they say about Mommy, come to Daddy. Daddy will help you replace a way." "Okay! Daddy, you have to promise me that if anyone says that your wife is not beautiful, you must beat him up!" Johny was speechless.

His son thought too much.

"Come here. You need to do as I say at home."

Soon after he got home, Swedum immediately plunged into Ceres's arms.

"Did you have fun today?" Ceres picked up Swedum.

"Not really." Swedum pouted and seemed to be full of anger.

"Why not?"

"Daddy was not fun at all. He didn't play any games with me!"

Johny sat on the sofa and took out his mobile phone to start dealing with some emails. "Those games were too childish."

"Children's games are childish. How could you do this?" Ceres could not help but scold him.

"Come with me next time, Mommy. I don't want Daddy to accompany me anymore! I would have won first place if Mommy came with me today!"

Swedum glanced at Johny angrily. "Mommy, do you know how capable her mommy is? Her mommy can do everything. She even made us a birthday cake last time!"

"Who are you talking about?" Ceres remembered some kids in Swedum's class.

"It's Elsie Wynn. Her mother has a scar on her neck. Have you forgotten?"

Ceres recalled that girl, whose mother had a scar on her neck. It was said that that mother had undergone an operation due to her thyroid cancer.

Elsie's mother looked ordinary. It was said that she was from an ordinary family. Many people were talking about her when she married into a rich family.

Ceres was not as gossipy as those rich and powerful ladies, who idled around. Elsie's mother never gossiped with these people.

Because of the ugly scar, the children often laughed at Elsie. Ceres had once told Swedum not to judge people by their appearance or to distance herself from Elsie because of this. "Mommy, you remember her."

"Elsie won a big prize. She was very happy! The game prizes are usually great."

"Really?"

"Will you come with me and help me win next time, Mommy?"

Ceres suddenly felt enlightened. The red spots on her face were indeed very ugly, but she could also give her child a lot, making Swedum as happy as Elsie.

"Okay. Mommy promises you."

"Great!" Swedum cheered.

Johny looked at Ceres's happy smile and finally felt relieved.

Ceres was a smart woman, and she could see through things if she got a little hint.

Johny relaxed, thinking it was finally time to carry out his plan about making another baby.

In the evening, Johny climbed into bed after taking a shower. Ceres sat on the bed and said, "Caleb is dying because of an incurable disease."

Johny suddenly had a bad feeling. He was also very surprised. "How could it be?"

"Caleb said that he had found an incurable illness before, but he never told anyone about it. The reason why Caleb looked for his daughter was to replace an heir. He's afraid he doesn't have much time left." "How did you know?"

Johny looked at Ceres and asked, "Did Roy come here?"

"No, he sent someone over."

Johny's face darkened. If Caleb did not have someone like Roy around him, Johny would not mind letting Ceres accept his biological father.

"What's wrong? Why do I feel like you are always hostile towards him?"

Johny should not be jealous.

"He's not a good person. Stay away from him."

Johny said with a cold look. His tone sounded as if he was issuing an order.

Ceres was not used to this ordering tone. "I think he is nice."

"You seem to be in frequent contact with him. Do you know him very well?"

Johny looked at Ceres tentatively.

"No." Ceres opened her mouth.

"Then why do you think he's a good person?"

Ceres suddenly realized that Johny had started to like to get to the bottom of the matter.

"Alright. Let's not talk about Roy but Caleb. Do you think I should go or not?"

"It's up to you," Johny sounded angry.

However, it was not good for Johny to make decisions for Ceres. After all, that was Ceres's biological father.

"Then I'll make the decision myself. You said that you didn't care. Don't go back on your word when the time comes." Ceres rolled her eyes at him.
