CHAPTER 389
New Year’s Eve
Mia shook her head. “He suddenly told me today that he didn’t want to go home but wanted to spend more time with Andrew and Ada and asked me not to pick him up from school.”
A ring of smoke puffed out from his mouth, and Jensen said faintly, “I have a feeling that his real purpose is to get close to Kisa, to get Kisa to take him home.”
Mia was stunned. “Do you think he could already know that Kisa is his mother?”
“Who knows? The boy has always been keeping things to himself,” Jensen said.
Kisa opened the door and let the three children in. They were well– behaved, and upon entering, they all
spontaneously sat at the table and did their homework. Kisa left her handbag in the foyer, changed into slippers, and came over. She got a big headache as she looked at the three of them. It was tiring enough taking care of one child, but now she was taking care of three. Thinking about Mia, she took out her phone to call Jensen again, but she received a text message from him instead.
[I have just been in a meeting. I know about Blake. I’m going to be out of town on business for the next few days, and Mia has some th ings going on, so Blake may have to be in your care for a few days.]
Looking at the text message, Kisa did not know whether to cry or laugh. It looked like she really had to take care of the three children by herself. She replied with a message.

[Go get busy. I will take care of Blake for you. Don’t worry.
After putting away her phone, she took a deep breath and looked at the three children. Blake was teach ing Ada to tackle a question while Andrew was quietly doing his
homework. At a glance, it was hard to tell who was older and who was younger among them. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Kisa asked curiously, “Do you all know your birthdays?”
Andrew said, “Ada and I are twins, but I came out before Ada.”
Kisa nodded with a smile. “And do you know what day you were born?”
“Yes,” Ada said softly. “Daddy said that Andrew and I were born on New Year’s Eve 2015.”
‘New Year’s Eve 2015…‘ Kisa felt a pang of pain in her heart as New Year’s Eve of that year reminded her of the burning pain of the fire and the unspeakable despair that she had suffered. It was also that New Year’s Eve that her baby died. But on that night, Gilbert was blessed with a pair of twins, and she found that to be an ironic contrast.
None of the children noticed the change in her mood. Ada asked Blake, “What day were you born?”
Blake said, “Dad said I was also born on New Year’s Eve 2015.”
“Huh? What a coincidence !” Ada exclaimed in surprise and ran over to shake Kisa’s arm. “Ma’am, Blake was born on that day, too. It is amazing. So are we all the same age?”
Kisa smiled at Ada as she tried to shake away her bad mood. “Yes, it is amazing. I don’t know if he is the sister.”
“I will be the older brother. I can protect my sister,” Blake said at once, like a little adult.
Their kiddish words completely healed Kisa’s sad mood. She smiled at the three of them and asked, “W
Blake said nothing but just looked at Andrew and Ada inquiringly. Ada said, “We will eat whatever Ma’am makes. Everything Ma’am makes is delicious.”
Kisa’s heart melted as she heard her sweet talk. At night, she slept with Ada, while Blake and Andrew slept in the room where Gilbert had stayed before. She could have a good nigh
In the morning, she woke up to a sound coming from the kitchen.
