Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMonica nodded happily, "Eason, what a lovely name!" She had learned from Tristan that his brother had been seriously ill when he was younger, so the fact that he told her his nmeant he didn't dislike her. She thought that if she could get along well with Eason, her relationship with Tristan might improve as well. So, she decided to focus on winning Eason over first. She had to work hard for her happiness in Arkpool City without Daniel! "Can | ask, does Eason get a chance to go outside and play?" she inquired curiously.
It took Eason a while to understand her question. He shook his head, his lips pressed tightly together, not saying a word. Monica thought for a moment and asked, "So, does Eason spend all day in this room? Never even going outside?" The little boy nodded.
She couldn't help but think how boring that must be, with no childhood fun or anyone to play games with. "But | have classes; a teacher comes every day to teach me," Eason shared enthusiastically.
Monica nodded thoughtfully, "Has Eason learned math? Math can be a lot of fun!" "Yes, I've learned math. Math is about Arabic numerals, right?" "Yeah! How about Monica plays a number gwith you?" Monica didn't want the conversation to go cold, and she wanted to make sure the child didn't find her boring. She also didn't know how long Tristan would be talking with Uncle Ding, so she needed to keep Eason entertained.

Who wouldn't want to play games? Especially a special child like him who had been living in the hospital for a long time, almost isolated from the world, spending his days in monotony.
"Well, I'll teach you the rules first, so listen carefully!" The little boy nodded with interest and listened intently as she spoke.
"1+1=2, can you read it with me?" Her eyes were filled with encouragement. Eason tried to speak, "1+1=2." "Great, let's continue! 2+2=4." "2+2=4." "Well done, 4+4=8!" "4+4=8." "8+8=16." "64+64=128..." Under Monica's guidance, Eason not only spoke up but quickly grew to love this game. As they played, bursts of laughter and joy spread throughout the room. There was no denying that Monica would have made an excellent kindergarten teacher. "Eason, you're doing great! Let's do it again!" Hearing her praise, the little boy couldn't have been happier. "I don't know any more than this, can you teachmore?" "Of course," Monica nodded.
At that moment, Kevin called Tristan's cell phone, and they exchanged a few words. Tristan hung up and said goodbye to Zack Clarke, then walked out, "Monica, let's go. There's something at the company." The girl sitting in the chair looked at him, then let go of Eason's hand. "Eason, we have to go now. Bye-" Eason, still immersed in the fun, had a reluctant look in his beautiful black eyes. Knowing that Tristan, as the president of Clarke Group, had a very valuable time, Eason suddenly grabbed Monica's hand as she stood up. This action surprised everyone present, and they all looked at them. Eason was not good at socializing and had social anxiety.
"Monica," he stood up, looking up at her, addressing her for the first tlike this, "Can | see you again tomorrow?"
