Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 541

Early the next day. Jasper, his heart set on the toy airplane, woke up very early. Even his cozy bed didn’t seem as enticing as the airplane.

Holding onto the stair railing with his short legs, he made his way downstairs. When he saw the airplane on the table, he couldn’t wait to pick it up and start playing with it, controlling it with the remote. Seeing the plane hovering in the living room, the little one was ecstatic and kept praising his dad for being amazing. A child’s smile would be the purest, and the praise came from the heart. “Daddy is amazing.”

Theo, sitting beside them had already finished breakfast and was now sitting in the living room reading the newspaper. Seeing his great-grandson so happy, his face, full of years, broke into a smile. But he didn’t quite believe in the abilities of his grandson, Trevon. He cast a suspicious glance at him. “Did you cheat when you fixed it?”

Trevon sat opposite Theo, and calmly replied, “Where could I cheat so late at night? I have no magic to conjure another

one.”

Natalie looked at the man who was lying with a straight face, thinking that it was such a waste for not going into acting as his acting skills were incredible. She had no intention of exposing him. First, Trevon didn’t want to disappoint his son, and second, he didn’t want to be criticized by Theo.

After playing with the toy airplane for a while, Jasper got tired and put down his toy to start building with Lego blocks. Trevon knew that his son loved Lego, so he would occasionally bring some back. As a result, there was no end to the Lego building.

After receiving criticism from Theo for a while, Trevon went to the company. Natalie decided not to go to work today and thought of taking her godmother, Lena, for a checkup.

Natalie pulled her son over, hugged him in her lap, and patiently asked, “Jasper, can you tell Mom why you lied to Dad last night? Wasn’t it your little sister who broke this airplane?”

Theo didn’t interfere with Natalie’s education, just sat quietly, and looked at Jasper expectantly, waiting for his answer. Jasper didn’t expect his mother to ask today. He nervously touched the Lego pieces in his hand and remained silent. Natalie continued to guide, saying, “Mom doesn’t mean to criticize you, Mom just really wants to know why you said you accidentally broke it. Can you tell me the reason?”

Neither Theo nor Natalie rushed Jasper for an answer. They just waited quietly, patiently allowing the child to build his mental resolve. After a moment, Jasper spoke softly, “I was afraid Dad would get angry and not like Ruby.”

So that was why. That was why he took the blame for breaking the airplane. Theo smiled as he said, “Good, it’s right to protect a girl, but children shouldn’t lie. How many times have I told you?”

Natalie said, “Great-grandpa is right. You can’t lie anymore. Mom and Dad won’t stop loving Ruby. We love her so much. Why will we stop loving her just because of an airplane? Besides, Ruby broke it by accident, right?”

Jasper nodded, remembering Theo’s teachings, and spoke more, “Mom, I understand.”

Theo nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Jasper had much better emotional intelligence than that brat, Trevon Jasper might have had a lot of girls chasing after him when he grew up. Theo knew there was no need for him to worry about Jasper not having a wife. Plus, he was too old to be concerned about this future matter.

Without further ado, Natalie understood that this situation definitely required a thorough examination.
