Jay France is a talented kid and his father Captain James Richmond was an amazing pilot. The Captain always brings his little boy to a private plane charter whom he knows the owner from his line of work. He would take his son flying a lightweight aircraft.
He would sit behind his father and while Jay's dad give him some flying lessons on what to do when to go up, glide and down, while they are in the air captain Richmond always tell his son "when you're in the age you can fly a small plane like this! I'll let you be the captain and I will be your passenger". James Richmond looked at his son for a moment and smiled at him.
Jay loves to play with his dad and likes flying with him. On the Captain days off Jay always try to get his dad to go fly a small plane. He likes the win, the sky and seeing the ground below. He believed he will become a great pilot like his dad someday.
Now Jay France's parents are divorced and he carries his mom's new last name. She married a wealthy businessman and actually in a much better place and because Jay was only 4 when his parents split his mother and father decided to put him in his stepfather's family registration adopting him as his son and letting him used his family name France.
His stepfather is a good man and he saw how he loves his mother and Shaun France do take care of them himself. Shaun treats Jay as his real son. Though Shaun and Jay France are not blood-related It's a bit amusing to see these two together. Their hairs are both blonde, their eyes have the same rare blue eyes and their skin color is very much alike.
No one would say Jay is not a France even his classmates won't ask him because he have so many similar features with his stepfather. So unless he tells them they will not think that Shaun France is not his father. But Jay does still feel reluctant to call him dad so he calls him father instead which was too formal.
Jay also has a stepsister but she is living far away her mom was Chinese and now living with her long-time boyfriend and also the reason she divorced Shaun France.
One day Jay came home from school his already in Primary 4 and because he's a smart kid he started early school at the age of 6 his already in Primary 2. As he walked the foyer passing towards the living room he found a small child, an Asian looking girl in the living room. She was pretty, probably around 6 years old and she's sleeping on the couch holding a teddy bear. She seems to have cried a lot.
Karen France notice his son from the kitchen and waved to him making a sign while putting her finger in the middle of her lips and used her hand gesturing to quietly come to her. Though reluctant to go his eyes keep on looking back to see if the little girl is still sleeping.
Karen smiles at his son. "She's pretty isn't she?" Trying to get his son's attention.
"Who is she?". Jay France whispering to his mom. Though he had a guest on who's the little girl is.
"Your baby sister!" Karen also whispered back.
She saw her son's questioning look "She's Shaun's daughter!". He wasn't surprised but
He quickly responded to her. "Then Mom I don't want to be her brother".
Karen was a little stunned on his son's remarks. So she responded by posting his blonde hair.
That night the little girl once again cried till her eyes red and swollen. Her mom said that her dad wants to spend some time with her and wanted to introduce his new wife and son to her.
Zhou Mei understands that her mother has separated from her dad but she accepts his new son and wife cause she is her dad's only child and someday her mommy and daddy will be together again soon.
Xiao Mei doesn't like her mom's boyfriend she thinks he's a bad person because he took her and her mom away from her dad. Saw the book Jay was reading and the last name was "France" how can he become a France she was France and she is Shaun France little girl.
Now she is a Zhou like her mother. In her little mind, her dad doesn't want to be with them anymore. He has a new wife and son now and her mother change her name after his boyfriend suggested that it will be best for them to change her name because his family doesn't like foreigners name because he is from an old clan it will be hard for them to get married.
That day was the toughest day for the new France family! Not because they don't like Xiao Mei but it was the opposite of it. For the following weeks, the family begun to bond and Zhou Mei was happily accepted by Karen. For Jay, he wasn't sure but he can't accept her yet. Though he civilized played with her also take care of her, he felt something is off with him it doesn't seem a bad thing but he tries not to be too close to her like his mom.
