Unexpected Marriage: She is the Sugar Mommy!-Chapter 357: Heart-to-Heart Conversation

Especially Pomelo, although lacking the company of adults, she can feel the warmth of the family atmosphere and isn’t as prone to sadness as before.

"Brother, do you think Aunt Seraphina will still like me after she gets a husband?" Pomelo tugged on Jude’s sleeve, a touch of worry appearing in her eyes.

"She will." Jude, like a little grown-up, rubbed Pomelo’s head.

"Really?" Pomelo still seemed a bit anxious. From the moment she returned with Seraphina, she felt the happiness in front of her was only temporary, and ultimately, she was just an outsider.

If one day Seraphina thinks she’s not cute anymore, finds her annoying, would she send her away?

Even though Jude understood in his heart that Seraphina wasn’t that kind of person, Pomelo’s mysterious background makes her inherently lack a sense of security, rendering her particularly sensitive.

Having enjoyed the beautiful days ahead, she certainly doesn’t want to go back to those lonely times. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Jude could only comfort her, asking her to ease her mind.

The next evening, when Seraphina and Desmond returned home, Jude stood at the door and quietly said to the two of them, "Dad, Mom, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Why aren’t you with Pomelo?" Jude usually accompanies Pomelo at this time, why is he alone today?

"Pomelo just ate something and said she was sleepy, she’s already asleep." Jude glanced at Pomelo’s room on the second floor, a hint of warmth in his eyes.

Seraphina nodded slightly and kissed Jude’s forehead: "Alright, let’s talk after dinner."

Regarding Jude, Desmond and Seraphina have never truly treated him as a child. His mind is much more mature than many adults. Since he has something to discuss, as parents, they naturally have to listen.

After dinner, the three of them sat in Seraphina’s room, all with serious expressions.

Jude thought for a moment and then spoke to Seraphina and Desmond: "Dad, Mom, I want to give Pomelo a status."

"What? Are you thinking of a child bride?" Seraphina almost jumped up in excitement at those words, "That’s not okay, son, our family doesn’t have this feudal mindset, don’t you..."

"Mom, what are you thinking? I hope our family can adopt Pomelo and give her a real home." Jude was amused by his mom’s thought process, how did she come up with a child bride.

Seraphina originally thought Jude and Pomelo had a great relationship, with Jude being so mature, he might have such thoughts, but it seems she really over-thought it.

However, upon hearing Jude’s suggestion, Seraphina and Desmond exchanged a smile without responding.

Jude thought the two of them didn’t want to agree, ordinarily calm, but he was somewhat anxious: "Dad, Mom, I believe you know Pomelo’s background better than me. No matter why she appeared here, whether it’s because of some plots or schemes, she’s just a child, she understands nothing. Even if we raise one more child in our family, it doesn’t cost much. At worst, I can use my savings over the years to raise her, though not much, it’s already over ten million, more than enough to support Pomelo."

Seraphina was very shocked by the ten million figure, not expecting this little kid who was only a few years old to have secretly saved so much money.

He didn’t notice Seraphina’s shocked gaze and continued: "If you don’t want to adopt Pomelo, I’ll adopt her myself, I’ll raise her."

Desmond listened quietly without speaking. As a father, he remembered the last time Jude spoke so lengthily, it was when he was threatening him not to hurt Seraphina.

It seems he is really attentive to Pomelo.

So hearing Jude incessantly talking about these things, Desmond couldn’t help but be a bit emotional. Initially thinking this kid was rather cold, now it seems he just hadn’t encountered peers who could make him talk more.

Seraphina was also thinking about this matter, so neither of the couple spoke but focused on Jude’s changes these few days.

To Jude, their silence seemed like they were unwilling to adopt Pomelo.

"I’ve said so much, are you still unwilling to adopt Pomelo?" Jude frowned tightly, his little face dark.

Seraphina shook her head in response: "No, Mom didn’t say that, just feels Jude suddenly grew up, has his thoughts and opinions."

"So, about adopting Pomelo?" Jude looked expectantly at his parents.

"Mom has long been prepared to adopt Pomelo, and Dad has been working hard on this matter all this time, just didn’t know how the result is now." Seraphina hugged Jude, full of tenderness and affection.

Jude looked at Desmond in disbelief: "Is this true?"

"That’s right, I’ve obtained the orphan certificate, and next, once we’ve processed the adoption procedures through the government, Pomelo will be a member of our family." Desmond succinctly explained the ongoing adoption process for Pomelo, and before his words finished, he heard Jude’s excited voice.

"Dad, is what you said true?"

"Of course, your mom has always been most concerned about Pomelo, what you said just now hurt your mom’s feelings." Desmond patted Jude’s head, softly teaching.

Jude also realized he misunderstood Seraphina, immediately apologized obediently: "Sorry Mom, I was just too anxious, so I misunderstood you."

"Silly son, Mom wouldn’t hold it against you. Pomelo will also be a part of our family from now on, we should give Pomelo a proper name, shouldn’t we?"

Seraphina suddenly remembered, to adopt Pomelo, the household registration must be transferred, a proper name is necessary.

Though Pomelo as a name is indeed cute, it won’t do without a proper name.

Once Pomelo is cured, she’ll need a name for school and other things.

Jude thought seriously and replied to Seraphina and Desmond: "Dad, Mom, I think Pomelo’s name should also be discussed with her, take her own thoughts into account."

After all, Pomelo isn’t a newborn baby, she’s already five and has her own thinking ability, she has the right to participate in this naming matter.

Desmond nodded in agreement: "Jude is right, it’s Pomelo’s own name, we should ask her opinion."

In their family, it’s never that adults decide everything, regardless of how small the matter, they always discuss it with the children, respecting their decisions.

Open education is better than traditional family education, children have independent thinking abilities, they aren’t subordinate to anyone, nor should good children live for them.

They are just themselves, independent individuals.

From the moment Seraphina gave birth to Jude, she thought this child was the best gift heaven could give her, and now her gift, at only six years old, already knows how to care for others and has his own insights and thoughts, she’s beyond happy.
