Chapter 13

ANYONE WILL SEE CLAIRE will think that she was really a mother figure. Once they reached Zack’s room, she asked him to brush his teeth and tucked him in his bed afterwards. She does not have to be a mother to know all these things.

She read him bed stories like what Nana Amy said. She can see how happy he was. Then minutes later, he was so sleepy already but he was trying to fight it.

“It’s okay honey, you can sleep now.” She said softly.

“Mommy, if I will sleep, you will still be like this to me tomorrow right?” He asked innocently.

She smiled sweetly. “Of course honey.”

She kept touching his forehead until he completely fell asleep. Seeing Zack makes her feel happy and think that this whole thing might be worth it.

Claire kissed Zack’s forehead before she left his room. “Rest well honey.”

She closed the door carefully. She was about to walk towards the master’s bedroom when she heard Nana Amy.

“Mrs. Castillejo, you might fool the kid but you cannot fool me.”
