The Walkers went bankrupt just a month ago, and Emily was forced to return from overseas.
She used up all her savings to cover the Walkers’ debt, yet it was hard for her to find a high-paying job with her music background.
Yohan tracked her down and offered her a job as Julian’s piano teacher, with a monthly salary of 60 thousand.
“My new mommy is the best! I love my new mommy the most!” Julian exclaimed loudly in the living room.
“I’m not your new mommy, Mr. Julian. Please stop addressing me as such.” Emily glanced at him awkwardly.
Julian was annoyed with the way she was addressing him. He hugged her legs affectionately and said, “I’ll get mad if you keep calling me Mr. Julian! You have to call me Juli! You’re so much more gentle than my mommy, I love you the most!”
He stole a glance toward the bedroom upstairs. When he noticed I wasn’t coming out, he continued, “Can you move into my house? I want to see you as soon as I wake up.
“Even my daddy agreed to it, so why won’t you move in with us? My house is so luxurious, you can have anything you want!”
Yohan did suggest for Emily to move into here—we had plenty of rooms, and it would save her the trouble of travelling back and forth. Plus, she had no money at the moment.
However, she insisted on renting a place elsewhere and turned his offer down.
“Mr. Julian… Juli, you should get back to practicing today’s piano piece now,” Emily said.
Julian shook his head, determined to get her to move in. “Are you afraid of my mommy? Don’t worry—Daddy and I will protect you! She listens to him well, so she won’t do anything to you.”
He was my son, and he was intelligent. He knew exactly what to say to hit me where it hurt.
It was my first time seeing him fall head over heels for someone when he was 18—right during the height of his youth.
