Chapter 20
If this issue isn't resolved and Kathie used Randy's wife's name to secure a spot for her child at Elite Tots Academny, Shirley's son won't have a chance to attend.
Shirley had already boasted that if her son couldn't go to Elite Tots Academy,they would be the laughingstock of everyone.
Melissa was also troubled. "How did Kathie become like this? We used to control her easily, but now we can't do anything about her."
"Whatever it takes, we have to stop her!" Shirley couldn't bear to be a joke.
She had spent the last four years under the scrutiny of others. She pretended not to care, but it bothered her deeply.
Who liked being laughed at? She also wanted to become Randy's wife in a grand manner and have her son recognized as Randy's legitimate child.
"I'm coming," Randy's voice came from the entrance.
Shirley quickly ran out and grabbed his hand at the doorway. "Randy,something's happened."
Randy asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
"It's that witch Kathie. She got upset today and said she won't divorce you.She wants to use the name Mrs. Berkeley to enroll her illegitimate children at Elite Tots Academy, making our son look like a bastard."
Hearing these harsh words, Randy frowned.
Shirley might be a socialite, but she had no manners. She only knew how to scream and curse when things went wrong.
"Kathie is still your sister. Even though we don't know who the father of her children is, you're still their aunt. It's not right to talk like this," he said.
Shirley,hearing him defend Kathie, looked displeased. "Are you feeling sorry for her? She's not my biological sister, so she has nothing to do with me. As for her illegitimate kids, they don't deserve to call me aunt if they're trying to take my son's spot."
Randy's face darkened. How foolish had he been to fall for such an unrefined woman?
"Enough. All you do is curse. You're a mother too. How would you feel if someone called your son a bastard?" he said coldly.
Shirley started to cry. "You know how hurtful it is to be called a bastard,yet for four years, you haven't given us any status. Now you're defending them. What are you thinking? If you don't want to be with us, let's just break up'and go our separate ways."
Randy was infuriated, but Melissa quickly intervened. "Randy, don't be mad. Bob is your son, and Shirley is just looking out for his future. Don't forget, in the Berkeley Famíly, it's our support that has helped you."
Thanks to the Cavendish Family's support, Randy had a place in the Berkeley Family. He had chosen Shirley because of her family's wealth and influence.
But now. Shirley's behavior disgusted him.
"Melissa, I understand. I'll handle it," he replied.
Shirley rolled her eyes, clearly not believing him.
Randy's eyes darkened. He needed to think this through carefully.
At the Eldoria household, the lights were bright. The three kids were overjoyed to see their mom return.
Kyle ran up first. "Mommy's finally back."
Eileen hugged her leg. "I missed you, Mommy."
"Me too, I missed you too," Zachary said, hugging her other leg.
Kathie kneIt down and embraced her three kids. "Mommy missed you too.
I brought a surprise for you. Look who's behind me."
The three kids curiously looked towwards the car. When they saw Melinda getting out, they screamed with joy.
"It's Aunt Melinda!"
"Aunt Melinda's here!"
"We missed you, Aunt Melinda!"
The three kids ran to her, and Melinda opened her arms to hug them all. ”My darlings, I missed you too. I brought lots of gifts for you.Come and get them."
Inside, Jonathan heard there were guests and put on a mask. He couldn't reveal his identity yet.
The kids were thrilled, carrying their gifts inside.
Melinda noticed Jonathan in a wheelchair, wearing a mask and looking weak.
"Kathie, aren't you worried about having a strange man in your house?"Melinda asked.
Before Kathie could respond, Eileen said, "Seven is a good person. He helps us. He even made us eggs today and cooked dinner." Kathie was surprised. "He can cook? Was it edible?"
Jonathan remained silent.
Not only did she not praise him, but she also doubted him. Kathie really had no taste.
Zachary thought for a moment. "The food wasn't fully cooked, and the dishes were bad. but the eggs were good. I ate three."
Kyle agreed. "We feel safe with him around."
Eileen brought out sbme eggs from the kitchen. "Mommy, he saved two eggs for you in case you were hungry."
Kathie felt a warmth in her heart. She hadn't expected him to be so helpful.
Yesterday, he had helped her with a dangerous situation at home,and today he took care of the kids.
Melinda,feeling the warm atmosphere, couldn't help but say, "The kids like him so much. Why don't you two get together?"
Jonathan coughed, making Kathie unhappy.
"What, you think I'm not good enough for you? And why are you wearing a mask at home?" she asked.
Jonathan chuckled. "It's not that. I got a burn on my face while cooking.so I put some ointment on."
Realizing he was taking care of the kids, Kathie showed concern. "I'll check it for you later."
Melinda, seeing the kids were fine, felt relieved. "It's getting late. I should go. I'll visit again. Kathie, take care of yourself and call me if you need anything." Kathie walked her to the door. The day's events had left them little time to catch up, so they planned for another time.
The kids were busy opening gifts in the living room. Kathie went to Jonathan's room, where he had already taken out his pajamas.
"Dr. Cavendish, could you help me with a bath?" Jonathan asked.
"Your hair is greasy too. I'll wash it for you," Kathie replied.
Kathie noticed he was a mess, unlike his clean appearance in the morning.Taking care of kids was indeed messy, even for men.
Kathie prepared the hot water and undressed him, leaving only his underwear.
Jonathan suggested, "Why don't you help me take off my underwear too?It's uncomfortable to bathe with it on."
Kathie blushed. "You have hands. You can do it yourself.Why ask me?"
Jonathan, seeing her blush, teased, "I've been busy all day, and my hands aren't steady. Are you shy? Didn't you say it's normal to have contact with patients?"
Kathie shot him a glare. "I'll do it."
Kathie couldn't let him think less of her. She reached to pull down his underwear,turning her head away.
Jonathan suddenly asked gently, "Did you handle everything today?"
Kathie instinctively turned back, just as she pulled down his underwear,and saw his penis.
Kathie,shocked,pushed Jonathan into the bathtub. She thought. 'Oh my God, what did I just see? It is so embarrassing!
Jonathan choked on water. "Are you trying to kill me?"
Kathie,flustered,tried to stay calm. "What are you talking about?"
Jonathan argued, "You peeked at my penis and pushed me into the water
when I caught you. Isn't that trying to kill me?"
