Chapter 2039
Yanny possessed a striking combination of Clara and Wilson's best features. Despite his hearing impairment, he still attracted the attention of many girls at school, who would confess their feelings or even send him love letters.Lisa even remarked that when Yanny grew up, he would surely break many hearts.Just then, little Riley accidentally touched Yanny's cochlear implant, and she curiously tried to take it off to see what it was. Peter quickly intervened and said, "Riley, don't touch Yanny's cochlear implant!"The sudden shout from her father startled Riley, causing her body to tense up.But Yanny gently patted Riley and explained, "If I don't have this, I won't be able to hear anything, so you can't just take it off.""You can't hear anything?" Riley asked, puzzled. "If you don't have this, you won't be able to hear a thing?""That's right," Yanny replied.Suddenly, Riley's expression seemed even more concerned than Peter’s was earlier. "Then, Yanny, you must protect this

"Wow, looks like our little Yanny is really popular with girls, huh? Even a three-year-old girl has taken a liking to you," Lisa playfully remarked, teasing Yanny.Yanny's childish yet handsome face turned slightly red. He didn't know what to say, so he simply lowered his head and focused on eating.However, he couldn't help but think about Riley, who was the first person who had ever said they would protect his cochlear implant. He was looking forward to seeing her again and spending time with her.After finishing lunch, the group said their goodbyes and left the restaurant. Lisa got into the White family's car, while Serenity drove Clara and Yanny back to the convenience store.Meanwhile, in a coffee shop adjacent to the restaurant sat a woman whose eyes were fixated on Clara as she got into the car.Clara Wells... we meet again!Sandra Cooper silently muttered to herself. She blamed Clara for all her misfortunes – the downfall of the Cooper family and the five years she spent

"Serenity, don't worry about Peter. Even if you think he's a nice guy, don't worry about him..." he whispered softly."Jack, are you...jealous again?" she asked with raised eyebrows.He looked at her and spoke in a gentle voice, "If I say I am, what would you do?"What would she do? Serenity's face reddened slightly as she pondered his question.His captivating eyes locked onto hers, waiting for her response.Men, no matter their age, would sometimes act like children! Serenity thought to herself before leaning down to kiss Jackson...After properly comforting him, she spoke, "You know full well that you're the one I love the most, but you still get jealous. I'm just feeling sorry for Peter and his failed marriage, that's all. He's a genuinely good person, but his marriage is unhappy. He's now divorced and is taking care of his three-year-old daughter by himself."Serenity spoke while planting kisses on Jackson's face, "Your jealousy makes me feel like I haven't expressed my lov

However, upon finishing her purchase and loading the goods onto her tricycle, Clara discovered that one of the tricycle's tires had been removed. Two seemingly sincere young men approached her and said, "Oh no, your tricycle is missing a tire? You can't ride it like this. There's a repair shop nearby. Why don't we help you take your tricycle there to be repaired?"Clara immediately recalled that earlier in the market, some shopkeepers had mentioned that there had been a lot of incidents lately where tricycles and electric bikes outside the market had their tires deflated or removed completely, which led to increased business for the repair shop nearby. The people who visited the shop were then grossly overcharged.There were suspicions among the market-goers that the repair shop was behind these incidents. Unfortunately, the surveillance camera outside the market wasn't working. Every time it was repaired, it would break down again after a few days.Clara firmly replied, "No, thanks

"You'll get the hang of it after doing it a few more times. If you're still having trouble, I can teach you," Clara suggested."Sure, I'll be grateful for that," Peter replied with a smile. He added, "Those two people earlier probably removed the tire from your tricycle. I can't believe some of these shops. But don't worry, shops like that usually won't last long. Let me give you a ride back.""But what about my tricycle...""Give me the key. I'll have my coworker fix it for you. I'll deliver it back to your place once it's done," Peter offered. "I have a tire shop right here in the market.""That would be very kind of you," Clara said, handing over the electric tricycle key to Peter.Peter called over a coworker, gave him some instructions, and then helped Clara load all her goods onto his car. He then drove her back to her convenience store.Along the way, Clara learned that Peter used to have a business partnership with a friend, but they had since disbanded. He now rented a s

When the weekend arrived, Peter drove to the convenience store to pick Clara and Yanny up. The children sat in the backseat, while Clara joined Peter in front.During the drive, Yanny took care of Riley like he was an adult. Riley sat in a booster seat, chatting incessantly with Yanny about things like the cartoons she had been watching, her drawings, and how much she looked forward to attending kindergarten."Is kindergarten fun, Yanny?" the little girl inquired.Yanny's expression dimmed at the mention of kindergarten. He didn't have pleasant memories of it. At that time, his mother's case hadn't been overturned yet, so he faced a lot of mockery and insults from other children and their parents.Although he was young back then and didn't completely understand it, he now had a better idea of the conflicts among adults and the injustices prevalent in society. Even though his mother's case had been overturned, he was still subjected to various prejudices due to his disability.

Clara was slightly taken aback. She asked without thinking, "Your friend? Is he the business partner you mentioned before?""Yes, that's right. That's why I left to open my own shop. I couldn't face them anymore," Peter explained."He was never truly your friend then. A true friend would never have done that to you. Look at it this way – at least now, you've seen their true colors," Clara offered words of comfort."Yeah, you're right," Peter muttered. He then turned to Clara and asked, "What about you? How's it going between you and Yanny's father? Why are you running a small convenience store?"He knew that Yanny's father was Wilson Birch, the rich CEO of the Birch Group. He also knew that Wilson had donated his liver to Clara.Before this, he ran into Clara again, he had assumed that Clara must be living a life of luxury with Wilson Birch, but it appeared that she was relying on a small convenience store for her livelihood."We have nothing to do with each other. I'm able to su

"I can't hear without a cochlear implant like normal people can. That's why I'm deaf," Yanny explained calmly, and his indifference struck a chord in Clara's heart.It was as if her son had become numb to the discrimination he had to face since he was born, causing him to accept his identity as a deaf person with resignation."Then I'll be deaf too so I can be like Yanny!" the little girl exclaimed, her teary eyes filled with determination.Hearing that, Yanny's heart skipped a beat, as if something deep within him had been touched.She was only three years old. She probably didn't even fully understand what being deaf meant.If he removed his hearing aid, the whole world would go silent – a complete silence that could induce panic!It felt as if he was the only one left in the world!"No, you shouldn't be like me. People will look down on you too if you're like me," Yanny said."I'm not scared. If anyone tries to bully you, I'll fight them!" little Riley declared fiercely, des
