Chapter 3633

Dr. Carden wanted Titus to copy some books, but she shouldn’t make him do too much so it doesn’t interfere with his rest and playtime.

Children should be happy during the holidays. As they grow older, their carefree time gets shorter, their schoolwork becomes heavier, and they have less time to play.

Titus asked worriedly, “Mom, will the master listen to you? My master isn’t home, and the senior master usually follows what she says.”

Jane reassured him, “Dr. Carden’s master will listen. After all, you’re still my son. No matter how strict Dr. Carden’s master is, he still has to consider the parents’ opinions. Now, go to bed.

Tomorrow, after breakfast, copy the book for an hour, then you can play with Sonny. In the afternoon, after your lunch break, copy for another hour, and you’ll have the rest of the day to play.

Copy for one more hour in the evening. That way, you’ll copy for three hours a day but spread out the time. Don’t play all day and then try to copy at night; otherwise, you’ll be up past midnight.”

Titus said, “Master only asked me to copy today. Maybe she doesn’t want me playing too much with my friends since the other masters have gone home and she has no one to spend time with.”

Jane laughed and said, “Your master asked you to copy the book to keep you focused, not just to stop you from playing. She wants you to balance work and rest. After the New Year, when you’re back in school, you’ll be able to concentrate better.”

“Don’t think badly of your master’s father. They’re like parents to you. If they weren’t there to protect you, neither Mommy Jane nor your Uncle Ben could protect you either.”

Titus quickly admitted, “Mom, I was wrong. I won’t think badly of my master’s father again.”

Jane gently touched his head, “Go to sleep.”

Titus went to the bathroom, then came out and said to Jane and Serenity, “Good night, Mommy.

Good night, Aunt Seren.”

“Good night,” they both replied.

Titus was really tired. He’d had fun playing with Sonny all day, and copying the book made him even more exhausted. He got into bed and fell asleep in less than two minutes.

Jane walked over, tucked him in, and turned off the bedroom light, leaving only the bathroom light on. The dim light helped create a soothing atmosphere, making the room just bright enough so the children wouldn’t be scared if they woke up during the night.

Jane and Serenity quietly left the children’s room together.

Jane asked with concern, “Are you having trouble adjusting to staying at my house? You’ve been staying up late since you got here and waking up early.”

Serenity softly replied, “No, it’s just that I don’t do much during the day. I take long naps, so I’m not that sleepy at night. Sonny wanted to wait for my sister’s video call, so I stayed up with him, and it got late.

My sister is busy during the day and doesn’t have time until late at night. I didn’t reach her tonight, so I just talked to my husband.

I wake up early because the baby in my belly is so active. It kicks me at dawn. I think when he’s born, he’ll be an early riser.”

Jane smiled, “When the baby is too young, it’s better to let a nanny help. If you do it all yourself, it will really wear you out and affect your sleep. My husband and I often take care of our kids ourselves, and it’s exhausting. Especially when Ben has to work during the day, sometimes we just let the nanny take over for a few nights.”
