Backstage.

Staff members were walking back and forth, with all sorts of noisy sounds buzzing around; makeup artists were busy putting makeup on each contestant, overwhelmed with work.

The scene in the contestants’ area was completely different from the mentors’ dressing room next door.

However, inside the mentors’ dressing room, almost everyone sneakily glanced in one direction every few seconds, wishing they could stick their eyes there.

The little one was round and chubby, with eyes like grapes, darting around, looking at this and that. His soft little hands reached up and tugged on the man’s tie, calling in a sweet voice: "Daddy, down."

After speaking, he pointed to the ground and then in Mia Sutton’s direction, indicating he wanted to go to his mommy.

Seeing this, Jensen Sterling looked down at the little one and then put him down.

The little guy immediately spread his arms and happily ran towards Mia Sutton like a little bird released from a cage: "Mommy, hug."

The moment his sweet voice came out, everyone in the dressing room felt their hearts melt, desperately wanting to ruffle his chubby little cheeks.

The little guy moved his short legs energetically, and just when he was about to reach his mommy’s legs, ready to be picked up, he was suddenly lifted off the ground.

Little Julian: "..." His big, shiny black eyes blinked rapidly, still unsure how he had suddenly been lifted up, an expression of confusion on his little face.

But probably sensing no danger, his eyes curved again, reaching his hand out and shouting to Mia Sutton: "Mommy, hug～"

Mia Sutton smiled faintly at this, just about to scoop him over when Jensen Sterling pulled him back a step.

Mia Sutton: "..."

Little Julian: "." Why does mommy seem further away?

Staff members: "..." Mr. Sterling, can you act more human?

...

Mia Sutton continued with her makeup, while our little Julian was being lectured by Jensen.

"Doesn’t daddy always say that mommy belongs to daddy?"

Though Little Julian didn’t quite understand why mommy belonged to daddy, daddy always said so, so it must be right.

Then he seriously nodded his little head.

Jensen Sterling: "Only daddy can hug mommy, right?"

Little Julian nodded again: "Yes～" His voice was soft and tender.

"Mommy is working, we shouldn’t disturb mommy, should we?"

Little Julian Sterling was stunned by the reasoning, always obediently nodding, being exceptionally well-behaved.

"Then go find other little girls to play with, no more asking mommy for hugs, okay?"

Little Julian nodded his little head vigorously, as if to show daddy he was a good, understanding child who wouldn’t disturb mommy.

"Mommy is busy, daddy is watching mommy work, I’ll go play."

Jensen Sterling patted his shiny little head with satisfaction: "Go play then."

Little Julian was thrilled, giggling as daddy patted his head; daddy always does that when he praises him. Daddy’s praising him now.

The little guy rubbed his head against Jensen’s hand, his soft little hand tugging on one of Jensen’s fingers, trying hard to bring it up to his head.

"Daddy, pat～"

After Jensen Sterling patted his head a few more times, Little Julian was finally satisfied, having been praised by daddy several times today.

Daddy told him to go find the girls to play, so he went to find them～

Backstage staff looked at each other: "..." Mr. Sterling is indeed Mr. Sterling, his jealousy is getting stronger, and now he won’t even spare his son.

Is it really okay to trick your son like this?

Seeing this, Mia Sutton shook her head with amusement, having witnessed this scene countless times before. Her little one always ended up stunned by the reasoning.

Meanwhile, Little Julian Sterling had now become the darling of the group, surrounded by people, playing and teasing him.

When teased too much, he would seriousness set his little face, pout his lips, and puff with anger, showing he was upset, looking quite like a little adult, bearing a slight resemblance to Jensen Sterling.

No one doubted that Little Julian was imitating Jensen’s angry expression, albeit too soft, making him lovable even when he’s mad.

By the time he returned, his little hands had managed to grab a handful of candies, with his little paw even trying to stuff them into his small pockets.

"This is for mommy, this is for daddy, this is for Dottie." Little Julian’s nickname was Dottie.

The little guy divided them with care.

...

Several years passed, and almost every movie and TV show Mia Sutton appeared in became a hit, with her stage shows selling out every year.

This time, she was invited to be a mentor on a talent show, selecting members for a boy band.

When learning this talent show was for a boy band, Jensen Sterling asked calmly: "Can I go with you for the first episode?"

"Sit in the audience."

And now we have this scene, where Mia Sutton, seated as a mentor, is performing for the trainees.

Jensen Sterling, on the other hand, is seated in a specially arranged spot by the director’s team. It isn’t very conspicuous, but it’s not out of the way, and he can clearly see the performance on stage.

The little munchkin fidgets in his seat, adjusting himself until he’s finally sitting properly.

Then he leans over and says, "Daddy, praise~"

Seeing this, Jensen Sterling smiles slightly and reaches out to pat his head.

The little guy is so happy and obediently sits upright.

This talent show is also being broadcast live. Mia Sutton’s performances have never been disappointing, and this time was no exception.

After the performance, she made a heart gesture towards the audience.

The trainees and audience below the stage went wild.

"Wifey, I love you!!!"

"Mia, Mia, you’re so beautiful, I’m going to compete with Jensen for you!"

"Idol, idol, look at me!"

One after another, and the director’s team, loving the buzz, switched the camera to Jensen Sterling sitting in the audience in the next second.

The man slowly looked up at the camera, a smile playing on his lips, and mouthed subtly.

His lip-sync clearly said, "Hands off, she’s mine."

Meanwhile, Jamie Sterling didn’t understand and, seeing mom making a heart gesture for them, began waving his little hand and pulled on Jensen Sterling next to him: "Daddy, mommy made a heart for us~"

Though the camera didn’t stay on them for long, the entire scene and live broadcast room exploded, boiling like hot water.

The netizens: Shocked!

How did they not know that the actor Jensen Sterling came to this show, and he brought his little munchkin with him!

[This man is anxious, he is anxious, everyone.]

[The munchkin is so cute, why don’t we change the "steal Mia" army to the "steal Mia and the munchkin" army?]

[That’s an excellent idea.]

Netizens are dancing madly on Jensen Sterling’s bottom line.

Netizens are having the time of their lives watching the talent show and playing with jokes.

Jensen Sterling gazed at Mia Sutton on the mentor panel, his brows and eyes involuntarily softened. His little girl is now standing on her own, glowing wherever she goes.

During the break in the middle of the recording, Jensen Sterling took the little one back to the production room.

The main reason he came was to declare his claim, and having accomplished that, he didn’t need to stay on site anymore.

And perhaps the little one got tired from playing, as his small head rested against Jensen Sterling’s chest, falling asleep so softly.

The staff next to them, holding their phones, were itching to take a picture —so cute, so soft, they wanted to capture it.

Jensen Sterling glanced at them, saying, "You can take a picture, just don’t spread it around."

The staff instantly nodded frantically; after years of marriage, Jensen has indeed become much easier to talk to than a few years ago.

Just as Mia Sutton returned to the production room to find them, the little guy was waking up, rubbing his eyes when he saw his mommy came in.

Not sleepy anymore, he dashed over, hugging his mother’s leg and acting cute, then handed his candy to Mia Sutton: "Here’s a reward for mommy, it’s pretty~"

The people nearby were utterly charmed, thinking, we’ll also have an adorable little munchkin like this this year.

...

After the first episode of the show aired, the part in the dressing room was released as a bonus clip.

For a time, the online world was buzzing, with netizens teasing Jensen Sterling’s jealous antics, even being jealous of his own son and fooling the kid.

Jamie Sterling doesn’t understand yet that his beloved dad tricked him, waking up dizzy from the little bed in the morning.

Why is he on this bed again? Wasn’t he sleeping with mom last night?

It must have been dad who moved him here, bad dad, not allowing him to sleep with mom!

He sat up in bed, gathered his own blanket, and laboriously got down from the little bed.

Hugging his tiny pillow, slipping into his small slippers, with little short legs, he pitter-pattered to the main bedroom door.

Started knocking, bang bang bang, "Mommy, mommy, Dottie wants to sleep with you."

"Daddy, open the door for Dottie."

"Daddy, open up!"

Inside the room, Mia Sutton was groggy, "Is Dottie calling me?"

Jensen Sterling’s voice was lazy and mellow: "No, you’re hearing things, just go back to sleep gently." As he spoke, he reached out and patted his wife’s back.

The little one outside the door couldn’t wake anyone, so he sat there with his pillow, pitifully drawing little circles on the ground with his finger, mumbling under his breath.

(The End)
