Selfish

"I didn't think of it that way, was I being too selfish," Jian asked herself and John smile saying, "Not a lot, but you should still talk to your mom and get her exact reason why it's difficult. Plus, I am sure you're smart enough to understand her." She nodded as they stopped at a door.

He knocked gently on the door, and they heard a come in. John smiled saying, "Hi uncle, these are the documents you requested, here Soren." Soren took the bag from John glancing behind him to Jian. "Oh, you two don't know each other, Jian this is Soren's uncle's actual PA, and uncle now that I have brought you the documents, I am gonna go."

"Where are you going?" Cyrus asked his tone cold as he glared at Johnny. Jian smiled pulling him slightly behind her saying, "Ah, Mr. Luca John's going down to have breakfast with us." He looked at Jian with a softer expression and Jian smiled asking, "How are you feeling by the way?"

"I'm feeling better now," he said and John smile hiding behind Jian asking, "What exactly did you try to cook this time uncle?" Jian slapped Johnny slightly as she noticed Cyrus change his expression.

"John, are you that egger to eat his cooking?" Soren asked and Cyrus glared at the two saying, "Do not worry you two, I will be sure to cook tonight's dinner for you both." Jian glanced at Soren to see his expression change from a smile to disgust really quick.

"Ah, Mr. Luca have you had breakfast?" She asked to change the subject and he shook his head, she smiled asking, "Would you two like to join us?" John stood behind her frowning at the question.

"We would love to, but Johnny doesn't seem too fond of the idea," Soren said and Jian turned to glance at John who gave her a gentle nod saying, "If it's okay with you then sure." She smiled saying, "John's just trying to mess with you two, please join us, plus Sergei is also going."

Soren smirked at the new discovery as he noticed how obvious John's feelings were. The four walked down the hallway as Soren smiled asking, "Jian isn't today a school day, why are you at the hospital?"

... (Jessica and Sergei's Conversation)

Jessica smile and as the children cleared the hall, she glanced at Sergei asking directly, "Do mind sharing how you know Johnny?"

"I am his family lawyer," he said, his tone collected, and she nodded asking, "Form his mother's side I assume." He frowned, and she scratched her neck asking, "When did you become a lawyer?"

He calmness disappeared as he glared at her and she sighed saying, "I am a mother you know, it's difficult letting my daughter be around boys her age, even more so if they have a past." He sighed asking, "How much do you know?"

She smiled but it held no kindness, or care as she said, "Enough, and your answer to my question." He turned his head to the side saying, "It's been 10 years give or take."

Jessica nodded saying, "Keep the years before that away from Jian." He smirked asking, "Are you single?" She blinked, it's been a while since she was hit on, but before she could answer question, her phone rang again. She turned to the side picking the call up.

"Jessica, I know you said you would be here soon, but can you hurry, there's been an emergency," She sighed, she didn't want to go, but he doesn't call her saying there's been an emergency unless someone messed up really bad.

She said "Fine," cutting the call before she turned to Sergei saying, "There's been an emergency at my workplace, can you let Jian know I will be back around noon." He nodded as she took the elevator and as the elevator closed, she heard Jian's voice.

"Oh, I had a fever and mom got super worried, so she brought me in the middle of the night," Jian said as they walked towards the elevator.
