Chapter 96 Memories
A little boy sat on the sofa while going through his book. The TV in the living room was on, but he wasn't focused on it; instead, his gaze was fixed on the science book in front of him.
Suddenly, a man walked down the stairs. He was on a call while holding a document, he seems to be going to the office.
A little Jarek immediately stood up once he saw Mr. Hart coming down the stairs. He quickly took the award that was on the books that were placed close to him.
"Dad. I won another music award. My teacher said I'm a music genius." Jarek said. He stretches his award to Mr. Hart happily with the aim of receiving praise.
Mr. Hart suddenly paused in his steps. He glanced at Jarek briefly before throwing an ATM card at him. "Here, buy whatever present you want." He said and began to make his way outside.
"But my teacher says, she'll love to see you for the music..."
"Who cares about music? Listen, I want you to quit whatever music class you're attending. My son is not going to be a useless music writer or whatever sort of that. You'll only take my path and that is to become a businessman." Mr. Hart said harshly which made the smile on Jarek's face wipe off.
Annalise immediately came down the stairs unhappy. "You, how can you say that to your son?" She uttered unhappily. "Can't you congratulate him?" She glared at him angrily.
"If you weren't the one teaching and making him learn nonsense, how can my son be doing music? My son can't be useless, and he won't do any useless career like music." Mr. Hart yelled back angrily.
The award on Jarek's hand immediately fell, and his face was clouded with sadness.
"You dared to say so? I'm teaching him the best I can. Have you ever stayed with your son and performed your father's responsibility? Well, he's not the fake chicks you carry about that always demand your attention." She mocked.
"Annalise." Mr. Hart glared at her before he stormed out of the house angrily.
Jarek quietly picked up all his books and awards before he returned to his room. Annalise sighed as she watched him trot downheartedly to his room.
Jarek's eyes were filled with sadness, but he knew not to cry. His father said men who cry are weak.
Instead, he focused his attention on the business book his father had given him back then after he won the first music award. He had read everything but still, his Father never paid attention to see what he knew about it.
The little boy fell asleep while holding the business book close to him.
Jarek woke up due to a maid knocking on his door for him to have lunch. He hadn't eaten breakfast due to the issues and when he fell asleep he directly skipped his breakfast. Hearing the growling of his stomach, he quickly stood up and walked out of his room.
"Mom, are you leaving? Mom, take me along." He cried out with tears streaming down his eyes. This time, he didn't mind if he was a weak man to everyone. He was pleading and begging Annalise to stay with him or take him along.
Annalise's face turned cold, and she cruelly pushed him away from her. "I'm tired of you and your useless father." She entered her car without sparing him a glance, and she began to drive her car.
The young Jarek immediately stood up and began to run after the car while crying, "Mom, don't leave. Mom, take me with you." He cried out while running after the car, but the car didn't stop and instead drove faster until his little legs couldn't catch up.

"Mom." Jarek was shivering with fever, curled up in the bed. He had a runny nose, and he was trembling due to the cold. "Mom." He kept on whispering.
Suddenly, the door was barged open, and Mr Hart came in with a lady and two little children. "This is your new mother." Mr. Hart dropped and left immediately while the young girl ran to him with a smile on her face, "Brother." She said and took hold of his hand.
Her expression soon changed into fear. "Mom, brother is hot." She cried out and the new Mrs. Hart quickly rushed toward him with anxiousness.
"Bring my phone, Walker. Rylee, quickly call your dad."
