No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1778: Daily Life After Marriage (6)

"I’m not playing."

Evelyn Winter was almost in tears. "You’re bullying a kid!"

"You’re a kid?" Hannah said, "Have you ever seen a kid who’s hundreds of years old?"

Evelyn let out a loud wail, ready to burst into tears.

Hannah said calmly, "If you start crying, I’ll send you back on the streets to wander right now."

Evelyn’s lips quivered in grievance, but he swallowed his tears, meekly accusing, "You have zero compassion. No empathy for the weak. What’s the harm in coaxing me a little?"

How did he end up with this kind of caretaker?

He’d rarely won the lottery to transform into a human, and this was the treatment he got.

"If I had known, I wouldn’t have become human."

Hannah, irritated by his whining, grabbed a handful of candy and shoved it into his arms. "Fine, I’ll pamper you. Eat some sweets."

"You’re so insincere." Despite saying that, Evelyn very honestly shoved the fruit candies into his mouth.

The sweet and tangy fruit flavor spread in his mouth, mixed with a faint fruity fragrance.

Once Evelyn started eating, he couldn’t stop, his eyes sparkling. "This is delicious!"

The two of them sat on the carpet, playing everything from aeroplane chess to animal chess, and finally to checkers.

Evelyn didn’t win a single game.

On the second day of being human, little Evelyn had new worries.

One was why he couldn’t beat Hannah at any board game. The other was—why did he have to go to kindergarten?

On the day he was sent to kindergarten, Evelyn was the picture of "despair."

Especially with the waves of crying around him, it sounded like an alarm going off, one child setting off another, the cries spreading from inside the kindergarten all the way outside.

It was the first day for new students, so it was natural for kids to feel sad leaving their parents for the first time.

Evelyn was also a new student, but he didn’t cry.

Even the teachers were praising him. "I’ve been a kindergarten teacher for years, and it’s rare to see such a well-behaved child—not crying or fussing."

Evelyn: "..." Can I start crying now?

That day, Hannah and Arnold Simmons brought him together.

Evelyn had no idea how his caretaker had explained his existence to the villain, but somehow, everything just fell into place naturally.

Even sending him to kindergarten felt oddly straightforward and logical. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Standing behind the kindergarten fence, watching Hannah wave at him outside, Evelyn felt tears welling up again.

He could throw a tantrum or act spoiled with Hannah, but he wouldn’t dare show any attitude around the villain. His eyes were just turning red when the villain cut in with a single line: "A real man bleeds but doesn’t cry." Evelyn instantly pulled himself together.

The kindergarten bell had already rung. All the crying kids who didn’t want to go were being carried into the classrooms by teachers.

Kids like Evelyn were also led in by hand.

Before he went in, he cast one last reluctant look at Hannah.

Hannah was still smiling and waving at him, showing no sign of sharing his sadness.

Evelyn couldn’t hold it in anymore and started bawling. "I don’t want to be human anymore!"

The teacher holding his hand just assumed he was a child who’d watched too many cartoons and didn’t give it much thought. She comforted him gently, "Once school ends, you’ll get to go home."

But Evelyn didn’t want to go home right now. He just wanted to run away from home.

The first minute in kindergarten—he missed Hannah.

The second minute in kindergarten—he still missed Hannah.

The third minute—hmm, the kindergarten cookies actually tasted kind of good.

...

Once Evelyn, the third wheel, was sent away, Arnold Simmons finally got his wish of enjoying some alone time with Hannah.

After a heavy rain, the weather turned pleasantly cool,
