Chapter 31
When I was about to say something, the little guy beside me let go of my legs, ran to Aimee and grabbed her skirt hem.
Seeing this, Aimee and I were both stunned.
Lundy stared at me pitifully, as if he would continue to cry if I took him away.
I didn’t intend to take him away. I just said, “Lundy’s condition is not stable yet. I have to trouble you these days. If it’s not convenient, you can ask Cheryl to take him back at any time.”
Aimee’s POV
When I gave the treatment to Felton on Sunday, I was mocked by Erica. Fortunately, I don’t have to deal with her anymore.
Recently, the research and development of new products have reached a critical moment, and I am extremely busy in the Research Institute.
I was so busy today that I even forgot to pick up the three kids. At last, Penn picked them up and took them out for dinner.
I didn’t come back until eight o’clock in the evening.
The three kids looked at me strangely and didn’t come over as usual.
Seeing this, I can’t help but feel a little strange. The little guys seem to be in a bad mood.
Seeing that Penn was still there, I went over and asked, “what happened to them? Were they bullied at school?”
He frowned slightly and felt a little guilty. “I mentioned their father’s matter at dinner, and then they turned out to be like this. Sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
When I heard this, I was stunned. When I came to my senses, my face turned a little pale. “Why do you ask them this question?”
I suppressed the panic in the bottom of my heart and warned coldly, “they have no fathers since childhood, and they don’t like others to mention this matter. Please Mr. Carter don’t ask them any questions about their fathers in the future.”
With an apologetic look in his eyes, Penn promised, “I didn’t know it before. Now I know. Don’t worry. I won’t mention it in front of them again.”
I took a look at the three kids who were playing Lego in silence. Then I remembered that just now, when Penn mentioned father to the kids, I was very scared. I didn’t have anything to say to Penn, so I directly asked him to leave. “It’s getting late. Mr. Carter, you’d better go back first. Thanks for picking up the children for me today.”
After Penn left, I walked to the kids and played with them for a while. Then I let them go upstairs to sleep.
After coaxing Lundy to sleep, I hesitated for a while and finally knocked on the door of the two kids’ room.
Aviva and Cyrus were still awake.
“Mommy, what’s up?” Aviva opened the door and saw me. She frowned and asked.
I touched his head and said, “Mommy wants to have a talk with you. Let’s go inside.”
Aviva nodded obediently, turned around and walked back to the bed. The little boy was wearing a cow Nightgown, with soft hair and a few strands of disobedient hair. His back looked very soft and cute.
My heart softened. I closed the door, sat on the edge of the two kids’ bed, and asked softly, “did Uncle ask about your daddy tonight?”
The two kids nodded.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Aviva added in a sweet voice, “we say we don’t have daddy and we don’t like him.”
Hearing this, my heart shrank and felt a little stuffy and painful.
“Do you… Do you think you are different from other children? Do you want a daddy?” I asked hesitantly.
The two kids shook their heads. “No.”
They all held one of my arms and said seriously, “although we don’t have a daddy, we have Mommy! You’re the best mommy in the world! No one can compare with you! Others will envy us!”
After saying that, as if to prove something, Cyrus looked at me innocently. “Lundy has a daddy. Doesn’tshe like mommy more? Mommy is the best! We don’t need Daddy!”
My heart was soft and distressed. I held the two kids in my arms and couldn’t speak for a long time
Penn didn’t show up again in the next few days. He only sent messages to ask about Lundy’s recent situation.
I was more vigilant about him because of that incident. Seeing that he didn’t come, I was secretly relieved.
When I received his message and saw that it had nothing to do with Aviva or Cyrus, I also replied.
However, Penn sent messages very frequently, which showed that he cared about Lundy very much.
Since he cared about Lundy so much, he hadn’t seen him for a few days. Why did he leave him at my home? I don’t know what Penn is thinking about. Why does he trust me so much?
I’m confused.
Fortunately, Lundy was very good. The little boy was cute and delicate, and he was also very obedient and sticky.
Every time he acted like a spoiled child to me, I couldn’t help but think of my lost little son. If that little boy could grow up safely, he would be about the same age as Lundy now.
Thinking of this, I subconsciously regarded the little guy as my family. I always feel that being good to Lundy is also a way to make up for my little son who died.
Aviva and Cyrus were getting along with Lundy day and night. They treated the little guy as their own brother and protected Lundy very well both at home and in the kindergarten.
During these days at home, Lundy smiled almost every day.
I’m glad to see him live a happy life, but I also feel a little reluctant to part with him.
If things went on like this, the little guy’s situation should be stabilized soon, which meant that he would be home soon.
Thinking of this, I feel a little reluctant to leave.
I’m going to take the kids to somewhere on weekend.
Lundy has lived here for a long time. I have never taken him to have a good time.
“Mommy!” Aviva and Cyrus came over excitedly. “Let’s take my brother to Ocean Park!”
Upon hearing this, I turned to Lundy and asked for his opinion.
Lundy nodded obediently.
Seeing that Lundy agreed, I agreed. Then I took the kids to pack up and rushed to the Ocean Park.
As soon as the three kids entered the hall, they were attracted by various kinds of fish on both sides. They stopped to interact with the fish from time to time.
I’m waiting for them patiently. I’ll take pictures of them and introduce some fish I know to them.
The three kids were having fun.
I took them to play the children’s project and wait by myself.
Suddenly, my phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, I frowned slightly.
Penn? He has been texting me these days. Is there anything wrong today?
“Where are you?” As soon as the phone was connected, the voice of Penn rang.
I was stunned. “What’s up?”
He said in a low voice, “I’m here to bring something to Lundy. Cheryl said you have gone out. Where are you? I’ll go to see you.”
Seeing that it’s about Lundy, I hesitated and said, “we’re in Ocean Park.”
“I’ll be right there,” said Penn
After hanging up the phone, I looked at the three kids who were playing happily and felt a little nervous.
Because of what happened last time, I was afraid that Penn would mention the background of Aviva and Cyrus again.
I didn’t want Penn to see Lundy’s condition and decided to take him back.
After a while, Penn called again. “Here I am. Which program are you working on now?”
The three kids were going to watch the show.
I replied, “we’ll wait for you in the whale hall.”
After hanging up the phone, I took three kids to the front seat. Soon, Penn came in and sat beside us.
At the sight of Penn, Lundy greeted him with a smile, and then immediately paid attention to the performance of the whale.
Aviva and Cyrus nodded at him without saying anything.
I just greeted him briefly and watched the show with the kids.
Under the stage, the crew sometimes directed the white whale to jump out of the water, and sometimes directed the whale to circle. The cooperation of several white whales was flawless, and they looked very cute.
The three kids’ eyes lit up.
“Who would like to play a game with our whale?” The staff turned around and looked at the grandstand.
Hearing this, the three kids jumped up and raised their hands high.
“I… i…” Cyrus yelled as she stretched out her arms
The staff’s eyes also fell on them as they expected. “The three children over there, since you like the white whale so much, let’s play games with them together!”
Hearing this, the three kids were excited, but they didn’t forget to ask for my permission later.
I was worried about their safety, but when I saw the expectations in their eyes, I nodded.
I took the three kids to the pool.
First, they played games with the whale according to the instructions of the staff.
Soon it was time for rest. They were still at the edge of the pool.
The three little guys were very pleasing, and the staff even took them to interact with the whale in person.
I’ll just stand aside and watch.
