Chapter 6 Are You a Home Wrecker?1
Ethan said to Joel standing aside, “Joel, wait for me here.”
Joel knew that Ethan had to give first aid to Kaylyn, so he obediently nodded. Not long after Ethan left, there was a whisper at the nearby table.
“Ryder, look there. That child seems a few
years younger than you, his mother and drive away the home wrecker.
but he already knew to protect
“Later, if you see that bad woman, you should learn from him and never be afraid. Got it?”
Joel overheard their conversation and turned his head to look.
He saw a woman around 30, with a seven or eight–year–old boy, having dinner at the next table.
The boy called Ryder nodded knowingly.
Seeing Joel look at them, Ryder Conway jumped off the chair and walked up to Joel.
“Hello, you are so amazing! Can you teach me how to get rid of a home wrecker?”
Joel was a little stunned.“Home wrecker?”
Ryder assumed Joel didn’t know what a “home wrecker” was.
So, he explained with a serious expression, “Home wrecker‘ destroys the relationship between Mom and Dad, resulting in their divorce, and makes Mom sad.
“This kind of woman is too bad!” Ryder’s face showed an angry expression.“Lately, a bad woman keeps pestering my dad, but…”
Ryder paused, with a disappointed expression.
“But I didn’t know to protect my mom by driving away the home wrecker.”
He looked up at Joel, revealing an admiring look.
“You did so well just now. With just a few words, you managed to drive away that home wrecker, bringing your mom and dad back together. Would you please teach me how you did it?”
Joel still didn’t get it.“What do you mean by my mom and dad got back together?”
He wondered, “Huh? Didn’t mom leave first?”
Ryder looked at him in confusion, asking, “Didn’t you tick off that home wrecker and send her away with a few words? And didn’t your father carry your mother in his arms and leave?” Joel finally figured it out.
It turned out that Ryder mistook Kaylyn for his mother.
Ryder’s mother came over at that moment.
She touched Joel’s hair and praised, “Good boy. You stand by your mother without hesitation unlike Ryder. Just because of a candy given to him by that bad woman, He said she was nice.”

Ryder scratched his head and whispered apologetically, “Sorry, Mom, but you always don’t let me eat candy. I couldn’t help myself.”

“I don’t let you eat candy because I am afraid your teeth would decay. When you grow up, you can eat as much candy as you want, and I won’t stop you.”
Ryder held the woman’s arm, pouting.“Mom, it’s all my fault. Now I fully understand you’re doing it for my own good. Please don’t be mad at me anymore.”
“I am glad you finally realize it now.”
Ryder tittered and said, “It’s not too late.”
Although the woman gave lip service to complain, her eyes were filled with love and tenderness.
Half an hour later, Ethan and Kaylyn returned to the restaurant.
Kaylyn forced a smile.“Ethan, I am really fine. It was just a little low blood sugar… It’s not necessary to go to the hospital.”
Ethan’s face turned serious. “These days, you have been fainting more frequently than before. You’d better go to the hospital for a check–up, lest the condition worsen.”
Kaylyn’s expression stiffened imperceptibly.
Recently, she did call Ethan more times than before, just to teach Stella a lesson.
Kaylyn said, “I’m fine. It’s getting late, and Joel hasn’t eaten anything. Let’s have dinner now. I’ll to the hospital tomorrow.”
They walked while chatting, and soon they got to Joel’s side.
Joel sat alone at a dining table, staring blankly out of the window, with a bewildered expression he had never had before.
Ethan, however, did not notice Joel’s strangeness and walked up to him.
“Kaylyn is not feeling well. I’ll take her to the hospital for a checkup. After the checkup, we will have dinner.”
Ethan’s voice was calm, but every word he said carried an undeniable authority.
Ethan appeared aloof, but deep down, he was very dominant.
Any decision he made was always hard to change.
If it were in normal times, Joel would agree without hesitation.
But today, he didn’t know why Stella’s figure appeared in his mind.
Before today, Stella always prepared meals for him on time every day.
He had a weak stomach and had to eat on time every day.
Sometimes, they went out with Kaylyn. When it was time to eat, Stella would give him some snacks to put in his stomach.
Because of his unique constitution, Stella made those snacks for him particularly.

Stella was good at pastry. However, Joel would get tired of eating those things often.
The food outside was so abundant that it dazzled him.

Gradually, he stopped liking the snacks Stella made.
Just then, Kaylyn’s gentle voice interrupted Joel’s thoughts.
“Ethan, Joel is not in good health. Let him grab a bite first.”
Ethan’s voice was chilly.“Your health is more important than Joel’s.” Kaylyn’s cheeks blushed at it.
She did not refuse anymore but lowered her gaze to Joel.
“Joel, shall we get a piece of strawberry cake for you to eat on the way?”
Strawberry cake was Joel’s favorite.
If it were usual, Joel would jump up happily.
But today, he merely nodded lightly.“Okay.”
Kaylyn noticed that Joel seemed a bit strange today, but she didn’t think much of it.
After she had the waiter pack a piece of strawberry cake, she took Joel’s hand and walked out of the restaurant.
On the way to the hospital, Kaylyn sat in the passenger seat and kept turning back, reminding Joel to be careful when eating the cake.
She sighed, “If it weren’t for my motion sickness, I would have taken the back seat with Joel to tak care of him.”
Even with Stella there, Kaylyn would still take the passenger seat.
The reason was that she got carsick; sitting in the front would make her feel better.
Staring at the cake in his hand, Joel suddenly remembered what Ryder’s mother said about the candy and that bad woman.
Joel suddenly asked, “Ms. Greer, are you a home wrecker?”
Kaylyn was stunned, thinking that she had misheard.
“What are you saying?”
Joel raised his head and repeated seriously, “Ms. Greer, are you a home wrecker?”
Kaylyn never expected that Joel would suddenly ask such a question.
The term “home wrecker” was too harsh for any woman.
Her expression froze, and she couldn’t recover from the shock for a long time.
“Joel!” Ethan snapped, his voice filled with displeasure, “Do you know what you’re saying? Wh has your usual manners gone?”
Just then, Kaylyn snapped out of her daze.

She hurriedly said “Ethan, it’s not Joel’s fault. Joel is just a kid. How could he know so much?”
At this point, she paused, her voice tinged with some sorrow.
I know Ms. Sutton has never liked me. However, no matter how she dislikes me, she shouldn’t have said this to Joel. What adults do should not get the kid involved. After all, Joel is innocent and so young-
