Chapter 741

Natalie looked at him in shock. “How did you get that right?”

Connor chuckled. “I’m a smart boy. I’m now in the eleventh grade!”

“That’s my son!” Natalie grinned and pinched his nose.

Suddenly, Sharon remembered something important. “Mommy, am I going to become an older sister
soon?”

“Yes. Are you happy?” Natalie lowered her head and looked at the little girl.

Sharon nodded repeatedly. “Yes! I’m going to be a big sister soon! Yay!” She started jumping with joy.

Natalie instantly asked Connor to stop Sharon from jumping as she was afraid she would trip and fall.

“All right, all right. Calm down. Let’s keep this a secret between us, okay? You can’t tell anyone else
about it,” Natalie reminded the children.

Connor nodded and did not ask why.

But Sharon sucked her thumb and asked, “Why can’t we tell people about it? Not even Daddy?”

“Yes. We can’t tell Daddy about it too.” Natalie looked at her seriously.

“Okay, Mommy. I’ll not tell Daddy,” Sharon promised.

Natalie was pleased with the responses. She then held their hands and said, “All right! Let’s go home!”

The twins nodded in unison.

All of a sudden, Connor made a noise. He seemed to have noticed something in front.



“What’s wrong?” Natalie asked.

Connor pointed at the front and said, “That’s Joe. Look at those bullies! They’re following him again.”

Natalie turned and saw a few bullies tailing Joe. They were the exact few children who had beaten him
up the other day.

Natalie creased her brows.

I’m sure those naughty boys are trying to bully him again.

Natalie decided to step in as she could not turn a blind eye to it.

“Bring him here, Connor.” Natalie let go of his hand.

Connor nodded and ran toward Joe.

Soon, Connor brought Joe over. Joe, who had a pair of rosy cheeks, greeted Natalie in a soft voice,
“Hello, Ms. Smith.”

“Hello.” Natalie rubbed his head and told the three children to get into the car.

Before leaving, Natalie gave the bullies a sullen glare. Disappointment was written all over their faces
as they did not get to bully Joe.

These kids… sigh…

Natalie shook her head and started her car.

Soon, they arrived at Joe’s residence.

Joe’s eyes brightened when he saw a middle-aged woman, who was sitting on a wheelchair. “Mom!”



The woman smiled and took out a piece of tissue from her pocket to wipe off the sweat on his face.

Joe pointed at Natalie and told the woman about what happened earlier.

The middle-aged woman was shocked at first. She then slowly wheeled over to Natalie.

Upon seeing the woman coming in her direction, Natalie, who was about to leave, got down from her
car.

“Thank you so much for looking after Joe.” Despite sitting on the wheelchair, she bowed gracefully to
express her gratitude.

Natalie was surprised to see how graceful the middle-aged woman was. The way the woman carried
herself was so elegant. It was as if she did not belong to this low-income neighborhood.

What a weird feeling!

“You’re welcome. I can’t allow anyone to bully a child.” Natalie looked at Joe and smiled.

Joe blushed once again and lowered his head.

Ms. Smith is so pretty…

“If it weren’t for you, Joe would have come home with injuries all over his body again. I’m such a
useless mother.” She looked at her legs and sighed.

Natalie took a deep breath and asked, “Have you thought of transferring Joe to another school?”

The middle-aged woman nodded but shook her head almost immediately. “I’ve thought of it, but I don’t
have the money to pay for a better kindergarten.”
