While the teacher wasn’t around, Albert gulped it down in one go.
Belinda then asked Mia, “Does your dad ever hug women other than your mom?”
Mia’s voice was soft and childish: “No, my dad doesn’t even dare look at other women.”
Belinda gave Mia a jelly as well.
Mia said, “Thank you,
Belinda.”
Seeing that Belinda was still troubled by this question, Natalia wanted to tell her, “It’s normal to like your mom.‘
But then she thought, since Belinda didn’t like listening to her, it was better to avoid trouble, so she kept quiet and continued drawing with her head down.
Albert wanted more jelly, so he went to say a few more words to Belinda.
Belinda just kept giving jelly to Albert.
“Natalia, this is from Auntie Helena, she brought it back from abroad for me. Do you want some?” Belinda tempted Natalia.
Natalia said, “Thank you, but I don’t need any.”
Actually, Natalia did want to eat some, but her dad wouldn’t let her because she was prone to coughing.
Belinda said, “If you give my mom back to me, I’ll give you one.”
Natalia lifted her clear little face and looked at Belinda.
“I didn’t steal your mom. You hurt Josie’s feelings before, so you should apologize to her, make it up to her, and ask for her forgiveness, not ask me for your mom. Was it me who told Josie not to recognize you?”
When Natalia talked to Belinda, she never called Josephine ‘Mom‘, because that would only make Belinda hate her more.

After eating another jelly, Albert couldn’t help but chime in with Natalia:
“Natalia is right. Didn’t you say Auntie Helena is your mom? If I called another woman ‘Mom‘ like that, my mom would beat me to death.”
Belinda got angry: “Albert, you’re eating the jelly I gave you, how can you still take Natalia’s side?”
Albert replied honestly, “I’m just telling the truth.”
“No more jelly for you.”
“Fine, whatever. I still have a few left anyway.”
Albert muttered under his breath, walked over to Natalia, and gave her the pink one.
Natalia liked pink, and her resolve instantly weakened. She took the jelly and said, “Thank you, Albert.”
After eating the jelly, Natalia wrapped the packaging in a tissue and put it in her backpack, planning to throw it away at home.
The other kids thought Natalia was afraid the teacher would find out, so they copied her. wrapping their jelly wrappers in tissues and hiding them in their backpacks.
Belinda thought to herself: So it’s actually wrong for Dad to hug women other than Mom…

Josephine and Finn accompanied the chairman and other leaders on an inspection tour.
At noon, Mr. Keller wanted to invite the leaders to stay for lunch, but they all said they’d go back to their offices for a working meal.
After seeing off the chairman and the leaders, Josephine accompanied her own boss to the staff cafeteria for lunch.
Her boss asked her, “Do you want a car?”
There was no preamble, just a straightforward question that surprised Josephine.
After her surprise, Josephine said, “Yes, I want a Porsche Panamera. Will the boss give me one?”

Finn raised his eyebrows: “If others won’t give it to you, won’t you give it to yourself“?”
That sounded rather mysterious.
Just as Josephine was about to overthink it, Finn explained:
“You and Theodore have conquered two technical challenges in a short time, and both made it onto the foreigners‘ sanctions list. The boss said you two deserve some comfort, and asked whether you want a car or a house?”
“I’ll take the car,” Josephine answered decisively.
If she chose a house, it would cost tens of millions, and she’d have to work like a horse for over a decade to pay it off…
“Alright, alright,” Finn agreed cheerfully. “A Porsche Panamera, right? I’ll remember that.
