Beauty and the Beast (Book 2)

EPILOGUE

JENNIE POV

6 Years Later.

"What happens with you, sweety?" I asked when I saw Leo, our son came home crying.

"My Prince, what happened?" Lisa rushed to Leo, knelt in front of him, and grabbed his shoulder.

I stood next to him and rubbed his head, and because Leo didn't speak, I looked at Mr Yang who since Leo was born 4 years ago, has served as his personal bodyguard along with several other bodyguards.

Mr Yang just returned my questioning gaze by shaking his head with a smile.

"Sweety," Lisa said softly and cupped Leo's wet little cheeks, then gently lifted his face to look at Lisa. His tears didn't stop, and he just sobbed. My heart is very sad to see our beloved son cry like this. I looked at Lisa and saw he feel the same as me. Lisa's face looks very tortured.

"Sweety. Please tell daddy what happened? Why are you crying?" Lisa asked softly, wiping our son's tears.

Leo sobbed again when his eyes met Lisa's, but then he started to speak in his small voice amidst his sobs. "Ju-Jun"

"Jun? Your friend?" Lisa asked when Leo didn't continue. Leo currently has started pre-school playgroups since he was 3 years old because of his own will, and Jun is one of his group friends.

Leo nodded his head.

"What's wrong with Jun?" Lisa asked again softly.

"He-he-he said I-I-shouldn't play with them," he said while sobbing.

"Why can't you play with them?" Lisa asked more while continuing to wipe his tears.

"Be-because I-I played with Jimin," he said again in his adorable voice.

"Jimin? So what if you play with Jimin?" Lisa asked.

"Be-because they said Jimin is poor. His clothes are so ugly. His father only sells tteokbokki and-and he doesn't have mom," he sobbed.

Lisa lifted his face and looked at me, then took a deep breath before looking back at our son.

"Shh... Don't cry, sweety" Lisa hugged our son and carried him. Leo immediately hid his face against Lisa's neck and sobbed. Lisa stroked his back to calm him down while I stroked his hair.

I leaned over, and Lisa, who saw it, helped me by leaning Leo's body towards me so I could easily kiss his head. With a big round stomach because of my second pregnancy, of course, I couldn't move freely. I am currently 8 months pregnant, and we are looking forward to our second child.

After I kissed Leo's head, Lisa kissed my temple, and we walked onto the couch. Lisa sat Leo on the couch and helped me to sit next to him. After making sure I sat comfortably, Lisa kissed my head and took his place on the other side of Leo. I grabbed my son's body and hugged him.
