Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Chapter 444 Playing With the Kids

At Georgia’s words, Robert realized it.

“You’re right. I never thought about it.”

It was clear that Sierra had only found Wesley last year.

Before that, where did Wesley live? Why was he being kept?

He had to have had other memories of life, but Wesley hadn’t talked about it. He clearly thought that Sierra had been his mother all along.

“If I hadn’t told him the truth, he didn’t seem to have any other memories. A child of two or three might not remember what happened before, but a five or six-year-old wouldn’t have so easily acknowledged a stranger as his mother. His memories have definitely been altered. Doing something like this to such a small child – the vicious bastards!”

Robert’s face was contorted in rage.

He’d known about Sierra’s true face for this long, but he’d never even tried to search for where his own son used to live? What kind of experience had brought his son to Sierra’s side? He was a failure as a father.

“The most important thing right now is to cure Wesley’s condition. I don’t know if it’s serious having one’s memories altered, if there’s going to be any lingering symptoms, or if it’s going to affect the brain, but we have to hurry and find a professional to see if Wesley’s brain’s been affected. When he saw someone yesterday, his head hurt. Since we’ve found this out, we have to hurry up and get people on it instead of blaming ourselves.

“Maybe ask Ivan. He knows a lot of doctors. He’d know a lot about this sort of thing too. Also, we need to ask Wesley if he has any impression of his past. He fainted after seeing Aston’s parents yesterday. It

might have something to do with them. We have to meet with Aston’s parents and bring Wesley there too, and see if this happens again.”

As Georgia said that, Robert turned to her.

“Keep watch over the two kids. I’ll give Ivan a call and see where he’s busy at, then have him come over to talk with us.

“Also, I told you about Vincent Poole before, right? I’ve already asked him to come back to the country. He’s going to arrive at the airport this afternoon, and maybe he can see what’s up with Wesley.”

“You asked Vincente to come back to the country?”

Georgia said dubiously. She immediately thought of Robert’s mother.

Was Robert planning on following his father’s plan?

Georgia didn’t know how to comment on it, while Robert nodded to her.

“I’m willing to bear the responsibility for doing this. I’ll take on all the consequences. I don’t want to see her drowning in her sorrows every day. My mother’s suffered too much in the first half of her life. I’d rather have her live on in fake happiness than have her continue to suffer in the latter part of her life.”

“Since you’ve made the decision, I’ll be on your side. No matter what the results are, I’ll bear them with you.”

Robert smiled, hugged Georgia, then walked out of the room.

Georgia stood and went over to Elsie’s room.

She should have been able to leave the hospital early in the morning, since the wound on the back of her head wasn’t serious.

But Elsie had had her incident, and now Wesley was going through something unknown, so she was staying.

When she was talking with Robert, the two had taken the kids to Elsie’s room to play.

Now that Robert was gone, of course she was going to go over to chat to the children, and chat with Elsie too while she was at it.

Going into the room.

Georgia saw Annie and Wesley crowded around Wilson, who was holding a four-by-four Rubik’s Cube.

In Wilson’s hands, the four-by-four square was solved in seconds.

“You’re amazing, Uncle Wilson, I couldn’t even solve the three-by-three ones. This is so complicated, why do I just not get it?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Annie said excitedly, while Wesley also spoke expectantly.

“Can you teach me, Uncle Wilson? I can do the three-by-three ones, but I could only get two sides of the four-by-four ones, and not the rest.”

Wilson smiled at the two kids.

“If you can’t complete it with your own feeling and experience, then you just have to calculate it. You two kids haven’t started learning math yet, and I don’t know how to teach you. When I first started playing it, I got it in an afternoon.”

Elsie, sitting on the sofa, couldn’t help but chime in.

“Give it to me, I’ve never played with this sort of thing before.”

Georgia walked over, smiling.

“Were you playing with these from the start? These are complicated arithmetic calculations. If you don’t have a knack for it, you won’t get it, and it might take a long time.”

Georgia said that, then chuckled and sat down next to the children.

The children took her hand. Wilson had bought several three-by-three and four-by-four Rubik’s Cubes, so the kids played around with them.

Elsie took the four-by-four and concentrated on it, spinning it around, while Georgia explained the tricks to the three-by-threes with the kids.

This continued for a dozen minutes or so, and Elsie sighed.

“I can’t do this. This isn’t something I can wrap my IQ around. Did you really get it after one afternoon, Wilson? Are you this smart?”

Elsie’s eyes were shining, while Wilson nodded.

At that moment, Annie spoke up.

“I don’t get this either, Auntie Elsie. Seems like my IQ isn’t good for this too. I give up. Why is this so difficult? Wesley knows how to do it, but I don’t. I feel like I’ve taken a million points of damage. Looks like people have to learn how to lose.”

As Annie said that, Georgia started urging her, smiling at the side.

“You have to be determined, Annie, and see things through. You’re still so young, and it’s just the time for you to discover your wit and talent. People might have a gap in their intelligence, and some people get it in half a day while some people have to keep at it for a month or a year. But the most valuable

thing is the determination to keep at it until you succeed. Don’t give up so easily. I could see that you almost solved it back there. Maybe after you practice for a while longer, you’ll be able to get the cube.”

Wilson spoke up as well.

“When I was studying, my classmates loved this stuff too. Some people needed half the term to get it, while others too a couple weeks or a few months. Everyone takes different lengths of time to learn, has different focus, and they don’t succeed at the same time. Don’t give up on yourself, Annie. You were doing great already.”

That cheered Annie up.

“Then I’ll take my time and practice. Uncle Wilson, if you have any tricks, you have to teach me. If you think I can’t understand your tips, can you teach me in a way I can get it?”

As Annie said that, Elsie couldn’t help but laugh at the side.

“Annie’s right. If you could get it after half a day, couldn’t you teach us how to do it in half a day?”

Wilson’s usually cold face scrunched up. It seemed like he didn’t really know how to teach it.

Elsie started complaining.

“See, you were just encouraging the kids that they’d be able to succeed if they just kept at it, so why don’t you keep at it and practice how to teach? Look at others’ experiences then come back and teach us.”

Georgia had to laugh with everyone in the room.

She did know how to fiddle with this stuff, but she didn’t have Wilson’s talent to learn it in half a day.

She smiled at Elsie and Annie.

“There’s a secret formula to this. I’ll write out the ones easier to remember. Practice with them and you’ll solve it. As for understanding how it works, that’s a bit harder. It goes from elementary to high school to college level math. I think you might not want to experience all that.”

As Georgia said that, Elsie waved it off.

“Never mind. I was just joking. I don’t have the interest to learn this sort of thing. Just let Annie and Wesley study it. They’re young and their minds are developing. Learning more things is always helpful.”

Wesley tugged at Georgia’s hand, eager.

“Auntie Georgia, can you write out those tips? I want to see how to do it.”

Annie spoke at the side too.

“Mommy, I don’t need to be able to play with the four-by-four like Wesley. If I can play with the three-by- three and be the fastest to solve it when playing with the other girls, that’s ok.”

Children liked to show off, after all. Knowing things other kids didn’t and being faster or more accurate then the other kids brought them joy.

Naturally, Georgia wasn’t going to kill that joy.

She took out her pen and write out those few formulaic tips in words the two kids understood.

This was something she’d had fun with alongside her classmates back when she was in school. She didn’t think she could use it to please children one day.

After she wrote it out, the kids played around with the cubes according to her method.

At the moment they succeeded, their eyes were starry as they looked at her.

“Mommy, you’re incredible.”

“Yeah, Auntie Georgia, you’re incredible.”

That gave Georgia an incomparable feeling of contentment.

Being good at studying and games was a weapon one could use to advance their own charm.

As the kids levied joyous praise, the door hadn’t even opened yet when Georgia saw Robert and Ivan walk in.

“What’s Mommy incredible at, Annie, Wesley? What are you playing?”
