Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 747 – The Family Portrait
When several parents next to Phillip saw him, there was disgust on their faces. They had planned to make good relations.
with Lucia through the parent-child activity. But when they saw Phillip beside Lucia, they were reluctant to lean forward.
Whispers came into Lucia’s ears from time to time. “Roy, you can’t play with that boy when you’re at school. He doesn’t look like a normal
child.” “We are not as rich and powerful as the Adams family. If something happens to you after getting close to that kid, it would be a tragedy to Mom.”
“There were two children in the Adams family. Even if one of them has an accident, there is another child to raise. We are different from them, Mom has only one baby boy, you.” Lucia frowned as she looked at Phillip with distress.
At this moment she was suddenly glad that Phillip had a communication disorder. At least he wouldn’t be hurt by the gossip.
The teachers quickly organized the parents to stand in the center of the field.
The last parent-child activity for a family was to finish a painting on a huge white paper together. The drawings would be displayed on the school’s display board for a month. When the parents got the news, they did their best to make their work look as good as possible.
Families who trained their children to draw would set aside a space for their children to play. But children’s drawings must match the parents’ drawings. Other families almost did not let their children do it, and it was done by the parents.
There was no childish trace in these paintings. Although these paintings looked perfect, they lacked childishness and playfulness. Lucia held Phillip in her arms and put the brushes into his hands, guiding him to draw while Timothy and Janet came up to him and kept chattering.
“Let’s draw a family portrait, okay?”
“Silly, what about Phillip?” Timothy gave his sister a disgusted look.
Janet defiantly said, “This is a parent-child activity. Phillip is with us now, of
course, we have to draw a family portrait
with him.”
Timothy thought for a moment and immediately agreed with her idea. He nodded,
and looked at Phillip, saying, “Now you are also a member of our family. You and
we draw Mom and Dad together, okay?”
Janet added, “Mommy and Daddy, please draw the three of us.”
Timothy and Janet quickly drew the outline of their mom and dad and the clothes
they were wearing today. Finally, only
their facial features remained to be drawn.
Janet thought for a while, reached out her little hand to hold Phillip’s hand and
said gently, “Little brother, I’ll help you.
Let’s draw Mommy and Daddy’s faces, okay?”
Phillip seemed to understand what she said, nodded slowly, holding the brush
tightly in his hand. Under the guidance of Timothy and Janet, he looked serious
in depicting the appearance of “Mom and Dad”.
Lucia stopped moving and looked at Phillip. She felt happy and warm as she
suddenly found that his pupils began to focus gradually. In the end, there was
only Phillip was not in the painting. She sketched Phillip’s face, smiling and
asking him if it looked like him or not. Phillip’s arms were tightly around her neck
as if he was afraid that she would leave. After a long time, Lucia stopped
drawing. The huge paper was painted with blue sky, green grass, a pair of young
parents with smiling faces and two cute children standing beside them. Besides,
the mother’s arms were holding a little boy. The
whole picture looked happy and harmonious.
Phillip looked at the five people in the painting and he smiled. His little hand
covered the painting, touching the face of the woman in the painting. His eyes
grew brighter and brighter.
Lucia was surprised and hurriedly took him into her arms tightly.
She softly
reassured, “In fact, everyone likes Phillip
okay?” very much. Phillip is a wonderful little boy. Timothy and Janet will be with
you from now on,
Chap
Phillip did not respond to her words. Watching the work in front of him being
taken away by the teacher, the same
dumbfounded expression he had at the beginning appeared on his face again.
Janet hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Mom. Timothy and I will stay with Phillip at
school.”
All the works were hung on the exhibition board and the parent-child activity was
coming to an end.
The teacher took the trumpet and shouted, “Babies, you have a great time with
Mom and Dad today, right? Now let’s all thank them for taking the time to be with
us and also for their hard work.”
There was a happy moment on the playground. Timothy and Janet went to Lucia
and left wet kisses on her both cheeks. Phillip’s little hands rubbed the hem of his
shirt tightly. He stared blankly into her expectant eyes. He finally moved slowly up
to the side of her face and touched her cheek lightly with his mouth.
He then
looked blankly to her side again, his eyes as unfocused as ever. When August
saw this scene, his eyes lit up. He squatted down to level with Phillip as well,
trying to get Phillip to give him a light kiss on his cheek.
After the parent-child activity, the teacher hastily came to Phillip while bowing
deeply to Lucia. She thanked Lucia, “Mrs.
Adams, thank you so much for today. It’s the first time I’ve seen Phillip acting like this.”
“You have worked hard to take care of Phillip. Thank you. If his father is unable to take
care of him in the future, you can
contact me.”
Lucia smiled gently and looked at Phillip, who was like a puppet. She felt a little sad. So,
she couldn’t help but touch his
later.” head, saying, “Phillip, I am taking Timothy and Janet home.
Your daddy will come to
pick you up Phillip suddenly knocked her hand away and looked blankly to the side. Her
hand fell into mid-air and a helpless
expression was on her face. The teacher hurriedly intervened, thanking Lucia repeatedly
while walking her out of the
schoolyard.
Lucia looked back at him from time to time and finally couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
“Mom!” A childish voice with a crying tone suddenly sounded behind her.
Lucia stiffened and looked back in dismay at the source of the voice. Phillip was standing
in place with red eyes. His
bright eyes were filled with tears. At this moment he was looking at her deeply and
shouted, “Mom! Mom!”
The teacher was also visibly stunned, hurriedly took him in her arms and soothed him
softly. She looked to Lucia and
urged, “Mrs. Adams, Phillip can’t get too emotional. We’ll leave now. Bye.”
Phillip’s little hands were still in mid-air, clutching at the air in Lucia’s direction.
Heartbreaking cries echoed through the
playground. On the way home, Lucia was still frowning.
She seemed to be still immersed
in the scene just now and could
not come back. A big and warm palm slowly wrapped her small hand in it. Feeling the
warmth, she forced a smile. “You have no way to replace the role of his mother.” August’s
low voice rang out slowly.
Lucia took a deep breath at the sound and forced herself to forget what had just
happened. She regained her composure
and asked, “Can this parent-child activity really resolve the company’s crisis?”
He responded in a calm voice, “It could before, but not now. Phillip will most likely be
known as your illegitimate child.”
