Rony looked around and noticed that people were still glaring at Cersei with disapproving eyes, and then an idea popped into his head.
"How adorable!"
"Honey, let’s have a child like that too."
"That would be wonderful..."
Hearing these comments, Cersei felt embarrassed, her face flushing with a deep red.
Rony calmly said, "Mom, they’re looking at you like that because they’re jealous of you."
"Why?"
"Because they can’t have a child as smart and filial as I am," Rony replied confidently.
Cersei, "..."
Sweetheart, could you be any more self-satisfied?
Was I complimenting you just now?
Outside the airport.
The WPL International company had sent a car to pick them up.
A Ferrari SUV.
The person who came to greet them was the general manager of WPL, a very beautiful woman who was also a designer.
"Miss Martell, it’s so good to see you again. Hello." The general manager greeted warmly and introduced everyone.
This was Mina Otis, the sales department manager, and the designer, Yuna Richart.
WPL is a world-renowned design company, and Cersei is both a designer and a structural engineer.
This year, she is 25 years old, a top graduate of Princeton University, and she earned her PhD in engineering at 22.
At 24, she designed the world-famous Opera House, making a name for herself overnight and becoming WPL's star designer.
This year, she was assigned to White Fur Pack.
Everyone noticed that while Cersei was quite relaxed, her little boy was carrying a lot of luggage, and they couldn’t help but feel a bit displeased.
"Oh, the child is so adorable! Why does Miss Martell let him carry so much luggage?"
"Yes, he’s so small. How can he carry all of it?"
Rony smiled gracefully, like a little gentleman, refined and polite.
"I can handle it. As long as my mom is with me, she is the queen."
A queen who doesn’t need to lift a finger.
"Oh, you’re just too cute," Mina almost wanted to hug Rony.
The group laughed and chatted as they got into the SUV.
Tony, who liked to talk, and Yuna, who was confident and talkative, weren’t bad people; they mainly discussed work.
"Can you start working on Monday? Adjusting to the new job shouldn’t be too difficult, right?"
Cersei assured them that there were no problems.
Tony asked kindly, "Do you need some extra time to get used to White Fur Pack?"
Cersei replied, "No need, I’m also from White Fur Pack."
"Really?" Yuna said in surprise. "I heard you studied and worked in Blood Moon Pack. I thought you were originally from Blood Moon Pack."
"I lived in Blood Moon Pack, but I was born here."
Very few people knew that Cersei had a child out of wedlock. Seeing how old the child was, one might not have guessed that her records still showed she was unmarried.
No one ever mentioned who the child's father was either.
The car took them to a seaside apartment in White Fur Pack.
Surrounding it were rows of tall buildings, standalone villas, and seaside apartments.
A long river divided White Fur Pack into east and west, with the villas facing the sea.
Cersei was fortunate to receive such a benefit; it was indeed very good.
Housing was provided by the company; otherwise, with how expensive seaside apartments were, she would have hesitated to rent one.
They stayed on the fifteenth floor in a 120-square-meter apartment with two bedrooms, a study, a storage room, two bathrooms, a large living room, and a big kitchen.
It was more than enough for the two of them.
The living room had a balcony facing the river, where they could enjoy the view of the sea at night.
Cersei thanked everyone for their help, and after staying for a while, they all left one by one.
Downstairs, Yuna commented, "Miss Martell is really young; people who don’t know would think she’s only eighteen."
"Yes, it’s hard to believe. She has such a pure face."
"You wouldn’t think she’s the mother of a seven-year-old."
...
Tony said, "Miss Martell had a child out of wedlock, so don't talk about it in the company, understood?"
"Got it, got it."
...
Upstairs.
Cersei threw herself onto the soft sofa, while Rony started organizing and tidying up the apartment.
As Rony said, with him around, Cersei was the queen who didn’t need to do anything.
"Mom, I’ve hung up your clothes. If you need anything washed, just call for someone to pick it up."
"Your underwear is in the second and third drawers of the wardrobe."
"Socks are in the first drawer of the wardrobe, accessories are in the first side compartment."
"All the jewelry is on the dressing table."
"I’ve also sorted your makeup by category, so don’t use the wrong one."
As Rony organized, he kept informing Cersei of where everything was. Cersei was a little overwhelmed, but by the time she finished listening, her son had already completed the tidying.
She suddenly felt how wonderful it was to have a son.
"Rony, I don’t know what I’d do without you..."
I probably wouldn’t be able to get anything done right.
Rony calmly patted Cersei’s head, like an elder comforting a younger one, "Don’t worry, Mom. You’re my biological mother, so serving you is my blessing."
"So you’re saying I can relax and take full advantage of you?"
"Mom, you’re beautiful, which is your darling’s honor." Rony’s demeanor was like that of an elegant gentleman, as refined as could be.
Cersei suddenly felt a loss for words.
Due to the time zone difference, Cersei felt a bit tired and unmotivated.
Rony took an iPad and started searching for a shopping center.
Although Cersei was confident in letting Rony handle everything, he was still so young, and she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
So, she decided to accompany Rony on the shopping trip.
"Mom, you should rest. I can go by myself. Are you worried that I’ll be tricked?"
"I’m worried you’ll trick others," Cersei calmly replied.
"Mom, you’re overthinking it. With a face as kind as mine, how could I trick others?"
Cersei, "..."
Kind?
More like a little fox?
She was a genius, a fairly ordinary genius, but she had given birth to an extraordinarily gifted child.
She wasn’t worried about others deceiving her darling.
However, she needed to get familiar with the environment as well.
A little stroll wouldn’t hurt.
The supermarket was about ten minutes away, and wherever the mother and son duo went, they caused a stir, lifting Cersei’s spirits considerably.
At the supermarket, Cersei pushed the cart while Rony did the shopping.
Soon, the cart was full.
Cersei placed the cart in the storage area and got another one. Rony had a list in his mind and shopped according to it.
He was very orderly.
Before long, the second cart was also full.
Cersei set it aside and got a third cart.
"Darling, I need to go to the restroom."
"Okay, is there anything else you need?"
"Sanitary pads."
"Got it." Rony replied naturally and calmly, "Mom, I’m a bit disappointed in you."
Cersei was used to her son’s teasing and didn’t mind.
He finished everything on the list and was about to push the cart to the sanitary pad section when he accidentally bumped into a man coming his way.
"Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry..." Rony apologized quickly and sincerely, "Please forgive me, I wasn’t paying attention."
The man and the child stared at each other for a moment, both taken aback.
Silence...
Silence.
The supermarket manager hurried over to pick up the items that had fallen to the floor.
