“Not at all. I used to be like you long ago, but now I know that there are vast grasslands, azure oceans, towering snow mountains, bustling cities, and all kinds of delicious food out there. There’s also intrigue between people, but you don’t know all these. We don’t have any topics in common, and I can’t be talking about cartoons and toys with you all the time. I want you to learn so that you’re aware of more things. That way, we’ll have more topics to talk about and you can help me when someone bullies me. We can also enjoy the view of the sea, go horse riding, and ski together.”
Cate looked into his eyes seriously. “I love you, and that’s why I hope you’ll grow up. I’m making you learn and hired teachers to teach you so that you can be on an equal footing with me as soon as possible. Because… to me, you’re different from Suzie and Lucas.”
Deep down, Shaun was shocked. He might not have been to those places, but he could not resist the intense longing he felt to visit those places with her.
“But… How am I different from Suzie and Lucas?”
“Didn’t you realize that Suzie and Lucas are a lot shorter than you? Shaunny, they’re actually three years old. You say you’re two years old, but why are you a lot taller than them and even taller than me?”
Cate sighed and told him the truth, “The reason why I didn’t ask you to attend preschool is that the place doesn’t suit you. School isn’t a place where you should go either. In truth, you’re 33 years old. You’re six to seven years older than me. “
Shaun was stunned, looking completely lost.
“Because something happened to you…” Cate pointed at her head. “Something’s wrong here, so you think that you’re only two years old. I’ll show you what a two-year-old kid actually looks like next time.”
Shaun, who had been under the impression that he was two years old, felt speechless.
No, he did not want to know as he refused to accept the fact.
“Cate, am I really… that old?” A look of dejection washed over his face.
“No, you’re not.” Cate caressed his distinct features. “You’re good-looking. You’re at the age where men are most charming. If you study more and learn how to make money, you’ll be even more charming.”
At first, Shaun was quite shocked and disappointed. However, now that Cate was praising him for being charming, he was inwardly delighted. “Mm. I must study hard and learn to make money. I want to look after you and support you.”
“Mm. When the teacher comes in the afternoon, are you going to throw a tantrum again?” Cate asked in a soft tone.
Shaun shook his head obediently. “I’ll listen to you.”
“Good. Let’s go downstairs and have lunch.” A gentle smile spread across Cate’s face.
After they came downstairs, Lea and Brennan were astonished to see how obedient Shaun suddenly was.
“Cate, you seem to be the only one who can control him.” When Shaun went to drink some water, Lea took the opportunity to grab Cate.
“Aunty Lea, I’ve let Shaun know about his actual age,” Cate said frankly.
Lea was taken aback. “Did he accept it? Was he triggered?”
“We can’t possibly keep hiding it from him. What’s more, he’s not exactly a fool. As time passes, he’ll notice that he’s different too. ” Cate shrugged weakly. “In fact, his mental state is much better than we initially imagined. We can’t treat him like how we treat Suzie and Lucas.”
“You’re really something. I’m not a good mother. I’m inexperienced in handling this kind of situation.” Lea was thoroughly embarrassed.
Lea had never taken care of Shaun back then as she always left him to the sitter. Hence, she was really unsure of his thoughts.
Cate was speechless. Despite having given birth to two children, Lea still lacked experience in this area. Shaun’s biological parents… She took pity on Shaun and Liam, who grew up relying on their In the afternoon, the English teacher came.
Shaun did not kick up a fuss. He sat in the study and paid attention to the lesson.
At the sight of this scene, everyone was gratified.
When the English teacher went downstairs after teaching for two hours, she said to Cate, “He has excellent memory. Perhaps he still has some English knowledge in his head. He could grasp the meaning instantly after I read out a text to him just once. It’s unbelievable! I’m done teaching him high school-level English, so he can learn college-level English tomorrow.”
Cate was at a loss for words. How impressive!
After dinner, she got a university professor who taught financial management to come over.
When the professor left, he said contentedly, “With his pace, I can probably teach him everything in a week.”
“That’s wonderful. Thank you, professor.” Cate saw the professor off.
When she returned to the room, she heard Shaun showing off to Suzie and Lucas. “Those things are too easy. Both of you are… too childish. I mastered addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in two minutes… Please don’t tell others that you both know me. You both bring shame to me.”
It did not really matter to Suzie since she had thick skin.
Unlike Suzie, Lucas pulled a long face. Cate wondered if he was going to throw the textbook to Shaun’s face the next minute.
“Enough. How can you mock Lucas and Suzie?” Cate rolled her eyes at Shaun. “You already learned those things back then. The lessons just brought back your memories, which explains why you’re learning faster than other people.”
“Exactly. There’s nothing to brag about.” Suzie rolled her eyes. “What a shameless old man. You actually feel proud when comparing yourself to us three-year-olds. I wonder who addressed us as ¡® Elder Sister’ and ¡®Brother’ yesterday. Shame on you.”
“You…” Shaun’s face was flushed with anger. ” I’m not a shameless old man.”
“You’re a shameless old man.” Suzie grimaced. Infuriated, Shaun nearly burst into tears. However, he fought back his tears at the thought of his actual age.
At the sight of the scene, Lucas curved his lips.
“You guys are going too far. The three of you are banding up to bully me.” Shaun puffed out his cheeks. He appeared aggrieved while trying to contain his feelings.
“Ugh. Fine, fine. I’m not going to argue with you anymore. ” Suzie became soft-hearted. She turned around to read a picture book.
When Suzie and Lucas were asleep at night, Shaun secretly approached Cate and whispered in her ear with a throaty voice, “I love you.”
His voice was pleasant to hear. However, since it was in the middle of the night, Cate felt her heart skipping a beat.
She looked back and caught sight of his exquisite face, moonlight reflecting in his dark eyes. There seemed to be a glint in his gaze that she could not resist.
” I learned this today, ” Shaun said to her bashfully. “Thanks. I love it.”
Cate turned around and buried her face into his arms.
He might not know the real meaning of the phrase, but she found it rather sweet anyway.
Whether he would fall for someone else later, that would be in the future.
At this point, she did not want to overthink things.
In addition, given that she had made him fall for her the first time, she believed that she would be able to do it again considering her great charisma.
The next day.
After Shaun woke up, Cate made him change into a black suit.
After he put it on, Cate looked him up and down.
His physique and aura were still the same. Nevertheless, his childlike eyes…
In the end, she chose a pair of black-rimmed glasses for him.
The minute he put on the glasses, Cate was mesmerized by his handsome and elegant appearance.
She had seen a lot of men who looked old- fashioned and dull in black-rimmed glasses. However, Shaun was worlds apart from them. With the black-rimmed glasses on his handsome face, he looked so elegant and respectable that it was as though he had transformed into a different person. He was just like those handsome young gentlemen one would find in comic books.
He was too… f*cking handsome.
He was so handsome that one would be tempted to throw themselves at him.
“Cate, why are you staring at me this way?” Her stare made Shaun uneasy. “From your gaze… you look like a cat that has caught a fish.”
Cate was speechless. Was it that obvious?
She had indeed thought of eating him up, though.
“No. I just think that you look very handsome in this attire, ” Cate put on a front and replied solemnly.
“Really?” Shaun scratched the back of his head bashfully and chuckled. “Is it because you were dazzled by my handsome looks just now?”
Cate was sullen that Shaun had seen through her. His IQ had improved so much within a day.
Sure enough, taking lessons could make a difference. He had become so different after gaining knowledge from the lessons.
“Not really. I’ve met many other handsome men. My heart doesn’t melt so easily.” A casual look washed over Cate’s face.
