Chapter 5 Josh And Jeny

"Good morning."

William walked into the room where Jeny was being treated. He greeted Josh, who was waiting for his sister. William deliberately waited until Angela left first and then came to greet the two little boys.

Josh was handsome, and Jeny was beautiful; William liked both children. I don't know what made him want to approach Angela's children, but William seemed to feel like he already had a close relationship with Josh and Jeny.

Josh and Jeny looked at each other in confusion; neither of them had seen William before. The man suddenly walked into Jeny's room. Before leaving, Angela always told them not to approach strangers they didn't know.

"You two, don't be afraid." William lowered his head slightly, aligning his body with Josh's height.

"Introduce me, William. I'm your mom's friend." William introduced himself, holding out one chocolate each for Josh and Jeny.

Josh and Jeny looked at each other, both appearing scared by William's sudden entrance. Young children find it very difficult to interact with people they don't know.

"Mommy's not here. Mommy has gone to work," Josh said, looking at William. His blue eyes were very similar to William's.

"Mommy is working? Then who is looking after you two?" William took the chair by the nightstand and moved it near Josh's seat.

"Just the two of us. I'll always look after Jeny," little Josh said loudly, declaring that he was his little sister's protector. He would always look after Jeny and Angela, never letting anyone hurt the two women he loved so much.

William smiled at Josh's words. The little boy was so articulate, and the look in Josh's eyes was full of courage when talking to him. A very cute boy, William liked both of Angela's children.

"Where is your father?" William asked another question; he was curious to know which man was Angela's husband.

Josh and Jeny were silent; both of them always remembered Angela's message.

"Why are you two so quiet?" William poked Josh on one cheek.

"It's okay," Josh answered briefly.

William looked closely at Angela's two children; he seemed familiar with them. Deep down, he was curious about the life Angela was living after the one-night stand a few years ago.

"You two have already eaten. I brought food for you both." William almost forgot to give the food he had brought earlier to Josh and Jeny.

"We've already eaten. I'm sorry, we can't accept the food you gave us," Josh refused; Angela's message was one he would always remember.

"Why?" William raised one eyebrow.

"Mommy told us not to accept gifts from strangers," the youngest, Jeny, replied. Both of Angela's children were obedient and followed what their mother said.

William laughed softly. "The three of us are acquainted. That means I am your friend. So, it's okay for a friend to give something to a friend."

Josh looked at William, then at the food the man had brought. He gulped harshly; the food was what he and Jeny had been wanting. Their mediocre lives certainly meant that neither of them wanted to demand anything from Angela.

Look at them now: William brought them the food they really wanted. William also said that now they were friends, so there was nothing wrong with accepting a gift from a friend.

"I won't tell your Mommy. It's a secret between the three of us. How?" William smiled, rubbing Josh's head gently. From the little boy's gaze, he could see that Josh wanted the food he brought.

"That would be lying. Mommy said that we shouldn't lie to our parents," Jenny replied. In her childlike style, she answered innocently.

"You guys eat first. I'll tell your Mommy later." William took the food he had brought and gave it to Josh and Jenny.

"Let's eat it. The food will be cold and not good anymore."

Little children are still very innocent; if faced with food that they like, of course, it makes them forget Angela's message. Josh and Jenny ate with gusto the food that William brought; when else could they eat delicious and expensive food?

William smiled as he watched the two small children who were eating the food he gave them. His heart wanted to give more than the food he brought now for Josh and Jenny.

As often as possible, he would come to see Angela's two children without his mother knowing because William was very sure that if Angela knew he was coming to see her two children, she would definitely kick him out and would not let him meet Josh and Jeny. This separation was not to William's liking; time flew by so quickly. He spent the whole day with Angela's two children, and when it was late afternoon, they had to part ways because Angela was about to return from work, and William also had to meet his wife, whom he had stayed with for so long since that morning.

"Where's William?" From inside the other room, someone asked Caterine. The woman, William's mother's age, looked at Catrine. She was Rose, the biological mother of Caterine, who had come to see her daughter's condition.

"Maybe she's still at the office," Catrine replied weakly. Even when she was lying in the hospital, William still didn't care about her.

"You must try even harder to win William Catrine's heart. You must make William love you; with your pregnancy, this can be a weapon to make William unable to escape from you." Rose smiled at her daughter; she was proud to be part of the wealthy family.

"But Mommy, I'm afraid that William knows our charade. I'm afraid that William knows that I lied by pretending to be pregnant so that his parents would cancel their plan to find another woman who could carry William's child."

Rose placed her index finger on her lips, asking Catrine not to say much. Lying for the sake of good couldn't hurt; Rose just didn't want her daughter's position to be replaced by another woman who could bear a child for William.

As a mother, she would do anything to keep her daughter's position safe. Even if she had to make up lies, Rose didn't care; only her daughter deserved to be Mrs. William, not another woman. "William and his family will never know that you're not actually pregnant. Mommy will manage everything; your job is just to pretend and follow everything Mommy tells you to do." Rose warned her daughter that Catrine should not talk too much; she had organized everything very neatly. There was never a word of failure in her dictionary, and that was true from then until now.
