Jesslyn kept shaking her head as Oscar persuaded her to go home. The girl seemed to be in a severe shock after the recent barrage of women continued to interfere with her life and Oscar.
"Go back!" Get Jesslyn to Oscar. The girl hugged the couch cushion in Miss Rivera's house and buried her head there.
"Let him here first" Miss Rivera said, finally understanding Oscar.
"Rivera's right, Osh! Let Jess dusini down until she's comfortable. We don't mind at all" Paul said, convincing Oscar.
"You want us to move house?" Oscar's next bid to Jesslyn who now looks back at him.
"You have money?" Jesslyn replied hesitatingly at once.
"I'll work later!"
"Said Miss Rivera there is a vacancy of school bus drivers," said Oscar who immediately explained the type of work he would do before Jesslyn again misunderstood.
"I still want to be here" Jesslyn replied, scowling.
"Until when? Tell me!"
Jesslyn did not answer and just shook her head.
"Not forced, Osh!" Rivera said back to mediate. The woman then guides Jesslyn to get up from the sofa and bring her into the room.
"I really don't want to bother, Paul!" Oscar said to Paul, who laughed a little.
"We're not at all troubled. Rivera's gonna persuade Jess to come home soon."
"He's just still in shock, that's all" Paul said, patting Oscar on the back.
"All right!"
"Hopefully Jess will return home as soon as possible" Oscar said expectantly, before the man returned home from Oliver's residence.

"She's twitching" jesslyn chirped after the girl placed her head on Rivera's stomach.
"Yep! He's very active" Rivera commented in response.
"He can hear me if I ask him to talk?" Jesslyn asked again as she rubbed Rivera's stomach.
"of course! You can have her talk, talk, or sing a song for her" Rivera replied, leading Jesslyn to look at her in disbelief.
"really?"
"You try it! Sing a song for her" Rivera said next.
"My voice is less sweet but." Jesslyn giggled and cleared her throat a few times before she started singing.
^^Twinkle, twinkle, little star^^^
^^How I wonder what you are^^
^^^Up above the world so high
^^^Like a diamond in the sky^^
Jesslyn sings while rubbing Rivera's stomach, and the girl senses Rivera's faint movements and returns to singing.
^^Twinkle, twinkle, little star^^^
^^How I wonder what you are^^
When the blazing sun is gone^^^
^^^When he nothing shines upon
^^Twinkle, twinkle, all the night^^
^^Twinkle, twinkle, little star^^^
^^How I wonder what you are^^
"Good night, baby" Jesslyn said as she peeked into Rivera's stomach.
"She's asleep" whispered Jesslyn to Rivera who just smiled and nodded.
"Can I carry it when it's born?" Jesslyn asked again in a whisper.
"of course! She could be your sister after birth" Rivera replied, which immediately made Jesslyn nod.
"I'm a big brother!" Jesslyn cheered in a soft voice.
"When will he be born, Miss Rivera?" Ask Jesslyn next.
"A few more weeks like that" Rivera replied. Jesslyn hugged Rivera's stomach once again.
"You want to keep him here until he's born?" Rivera asked next while rubbing Jesslyn's head.
"Nobody will take care of Oscar if I stay here all the time" Jesslyn replied slightly frowning.
"I think Oscar's been taking care of you all this time?" Rivera frowned incomprehensibly and Jesslyn immediately shook her head.
"He can never take care of himself. He always does stupid things whenever there's a problem or feeling frustrated." Jesslyn's Story.
"Foolish thing? Can you tell me?"
"He likes to drink!" Jesslyn answered quickly.
"And smoke! Isn't that bad for health?" Jesslyn told Rivera again.
"You don't like Oscar drinking and smoking?" Rivera asked directly to make Jesslyn shake her head.
"Mom died of a tumor. Then I read the article that one of the causes of pain is an unhealthy lifestyle, one of which is drinking and smoking as Oscar did."
"I don't want to if Oscar...." Jesslyn did not continue her sentence and the girl quickly wiped the clear grain in the corner of her eye.
"You care so much about Oscar." Rivera helps wipe Jesslyn's tears and the woman is moved by Jesslyn's concern for Oscar.
"She's the only one I have in this world" Jesslyn said.
"You can go home from tomorrow means, so you can take care of Oscar again" Rivera suggested in a soft tone.
"Do you think Oscar would listen to a boy like me?" Jesslyn asked Rivera for her opinion.
"Of course Oscar would listen. Or you can make your request as a condition that you go home. Oscar probably won't mind" Rivera said.
"After all, Oscar has started work tomorrow and you know for yourself, school bus drivers are forbidden to drink and smoke during work" Rivera said.
The ten-year-old girl nodded and immediately hugged Rivera.
"I'll take care of my sister tonight then!" Jesslyn said before she and Rivera laughed together.
