“Good morning,” Jeslyn answered.;

“Father, I just asked you a question.” Valen interrupted the conversation between Rex and Jeslyn, prompting them to shut up and look at him.

Looking at what was placed in front of Valen, Rex sighed. He doesn’t need to be told of what was

going on.

“Darling Valen, it was prescribed by Matt, so you can only take that,” Rex intervened.

“Uncle Rex, if I recall correctly, I wasn’t talking to you, right?” He glared at Rex who immediately shut. his mouth and turned to focus on his food.

Jeslyn knitted her brows but said nothing.

“Valen, don’t say that, he’s your uncle,” Mulan said in a soft voice.

Too soft for Jeslyn’s liking which made her frown grow deeper. She narrowed her eyes at the child and scrutinized him all over one more time.
