Not long after that day, a female superstar was revealed to have slept with different men, overshadowing news related to me.
In the end, my life was as peaceful as it used to be.
The studio gradually returned to normal. And the renovation of the former studio had almost been done. So we moved back.
I transformed one of Rosy's guest rooms into Glenn's room and got him back to my side.
If Glenn went to the same kindergarten as he did before, it would be troublesome. So I intended to transfer him to another kindergarten.
It just so happened that Nancy found a kindergarten offering a semi-boarding service for Cicely. She could live there from Monday to Thursday. And Nancy would pick her up and take her home on weekends.
According to Nancy, she had studied this kindergarten for a long time and found it quite reliable. So I sent Glenn there as well.
Since Glenn wasn't home at ordinary times, I had a lot of free time all of a sudden.
Apart from learning to drive, I focused on my work.
Once I became busy, I seemed to have left all the unhappiness Patrick caused to me behind.
However, I had to get Glenn back home soon.
The summer vacation came.
All of the children had to be taken home. Nancy had a nanny at her house. Even so, I felt embarrassed if I sent Glenn there every day.
When I was distressed, Paulina made a proposal to me. She had a nephew from her branch family who studied animation in the Arts Academy of City Y. He, who didn't want to put more burden on his family, did part-time jobs all the time during the summer vacation.
According to Paulina, her nephew liked children very much. And he, who was hard-working and capable, could help me take care of Glenn.
I never thought of hiring a boy to keep an eye on Glenn before. Even so, feeling that Paulina had introduced a reliable boy to me, I intended to meet him.
After getting off work that night, I followed Paulina to a milk tea shop at the entrance of the Arts Academy to see the boy.
Upon entering the milk-tea shop, Pauline and I immediately saw a boy in a white T-shirt standing up.
The boy looked fair with neatly short hair. Although he wore a somewhat worn T-shirt, the T-shirt was clean. And he wore a pair of casual pants and a pair of self-drawn canvas shoes.
Upon seeing his shoes, I couldn't help but recall that my classmates were fond of drawing on canvas shoes with layered paint back then.
Upon seeing him at first glance, I had a good impression of him.
"Paulina, nice to meet you both." The boy stood up and greeted Paulina and me.
I looked at Paulina, "Isn't he your nephew?"
"Yes." Paulina nodded and pulled me to sit down, saying, "According to the seniority, he should call me aunt. But I am still young. If he calls me aunt, won't it make me old? So I let him call me sister."
Oh, that made sense.
I thought that with Paulina's character, she indeed could do so.
"Hello, I'm Jason Baker. I'm now a junior from the Animation Department of Arts Academy."
The boy introduced himself.
Like his appearance, his voice sounded melodious.
I looked at this boy and saw that he was at most twenty years old. And I was at least ten years older than him. So I said to him, "Hello, my name is Janetta Nolan. You can call me Ms. Nolan."
"Won't the address... make you old?"
Jason seemed to be in a dilemma.
Paulina nodded on the side, "That's right! That's right. Janetta, if you ask him to do so, aren't you senior to me by a rank without even realizing it?" Then, she turned her head and said to Jason, "Call her Sister Janetta."
"Sister Janetta."
Upon hearing that, Jason agreed immediately.
Hearing Jason's words, I felt helpless and could no longer force him, asking, "Did Paulina tell you what your job responsibility will be if you work for me?"
