Chapter 23
“I know, Mommy. Come back early. Don’t be too tired!” The two kids agreed in a sweet voice.
I hung up the phone with a smile.
With Fiona taking care of the two children, I feel at ease. Holding Lundy in my arms, I slowly relaxed my nerves and only felt a sense of fatigue slowly rising.
Although I tried my best to keep awake, I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already in the morning. Lundy and I were sleeping on the bed in the guest room on the second floor. Presumably, it was Penn who carried us upstairs. Thinking of this, I felt a little upset.
The sound in my arms brought me back to reality. It turned out that Lundy had woken up.
As soon as I lowered my head, I saw Lundy’s bright eyes. I couldn’t help smiling. “Good morning. Do you feel better?”
He shook his head.
“That’s good. It’s time to get up,”
Then I sat up from the bed.
Cheryl knocked on the door and came in with some clothes for Lundy. I helped her change.
After I washed and had breakfast with the two of them, I rushed home.
Before going to work, I have to go home to change my clothes. And I’m a little worried about the two children at home, so I want to go back and have a look.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
As soon as i entered the house, the two kids pounced on me. “Mommy, why do you come back so late? What happened last night?”
Fiona looked at us with a smile and explained, “the two kids are worried about you. They woke up early this morning.”
I nodded. After hesitating for a while, I told the two babies that I took care of Lundy yesterday.
Hearing that Lundy was sick, the two kids asked worriedly, “how is my brother? Is he seriously ill? Can we go to see him?”
“It’s just a fever. I feel much better after a sleep. You will see me in the kindergarten.”
The two kids didn’t insist and nodded obediently.
Penn’s POV
After work, I went to pick up Lundy. As soon as we entered the door, our parents sitting on the sofa with a serious look. Obviously, they had something to say.
“Dad, mom, why didn’t you tell me that you were here? What’s up?” I asked in confusion.
My mother nodded with a straight face. “I have something to talk to you.”
Seeing my mother’s serious face, I frowned slightly. I turned around and handed Lundy to Cheryl, asking her to take the little guy upstairs first.
Cheryl agreed. Lundy greeted grandpa and grandma obediently and followed Cheryl upstairs.
I sat down on the armchair next to my parents. “What brings you here so late?”
“Is Aimee back?” My mother came straight to the point.
Hearing this, my eyes darkened and I admitted frankly, “yes, we have met.”
My mother snorted and continued to ask, “why didn’t you tell us? Don’t tell me that you still want to be with her!”
I didn’t answer immediately.
“No matter what you think, I won’t allow that woman to marry into our family. Back then, she left without saying a word and even didn’t want to have a child. Now she wants to come back, I won’t allow it! If she really comes back, what if such a thing happens again? Can you accept it? Lundy has grown up now. Can he bear it?”
Seeing that I kept silent, my mother was even angrier. “Think about it carefully. How did Lundy live these years? The child has been weak since childhood. Why do you think so? If that woman takes good care of him after giving birth to him and then send him back, I won’t say anything. But she just threw Lundy away, which made Lundy in poor health all the time..
As a result, Lundy has an autistic personality. he was scolded as a wild child without a mother outside. It was all because of that woman! If you insist on letting her come back, I will bring Lundy to our side! Anyway, I will never hand Lundy over to her! ”
My father also echoed earnestly, “your mother is right. I won’t care about anything else, but I’m worried about letting that woman come back to take care of Lundy. Think it over.”
Hearing my father’s words, I looked up at them.
My mother snorted, “in the past few years, thanks to Bonnie’s company and the help to take care of Lundy, she has done her best to us, just like our own daughter. It seems that Bonnie is better than Aimee. A girl’s youth is limited. You can’t just let her wait like this.”
I kept silent.
It was not until the two of them finished talking that I said calmly, “you think too much. I have no intention of letting Aimee come back.”
At least not now.
When my parents were talking just now, I had been thinking about my recent contact with Aimee. I came to the conclusion that the reason why we were involved in this period was mostly because of Lundy.
Thinking of this, I feel somewhat ironic.
According to the attitude of Aimee when we first met, if it weren’t for Lundy, that woman would have avoided me.
What my parents were worried about wouldn’t happen.
Hearing what I said, my mother’s face softened a little. “That’s good. When are you going to settle down with Bonnie? You can settle down earlier, and she will take care of Lundy.”
I frowned and refused, “compared with Aimee, I’m more worried about letting Bonnie take care of Lundy. Lundy has always been rejecting her, so I have to think about marrying her again.”
My mother didn’t take it seriously. “Lundy rejected her because you didn’t want to accept her. If you marry Bonnie earlier and let her stay with Lundy for a longer time, Lundy will like her. Moreover, Bonnie has been very kind to Lundy all these years, and we all see that.”
Hearing this, I frowned slightly impatiently. “Let’s talk about it later. I’m tired.”
Over the years, although Bonnie has always been harmless to us and treats Lundy well.
But I don’t think Lundy will reject her for no reason. Besides, I don’t have any feelings for Bonnie.
Now my mother mentioned that person again and again, which only annoyed me.
Mother sighed, “we won’t force you. Anyway, you should think it over. Before that, we will take care of Lundy.”
Then she asked Cheryl to take Lundy downstairs and reached out her hand to Lundy with a smile.
Lundy didn’t know what had happened, so he got into his grandmother’s arms obediently.
“Lundy, be good and stay at Grandpa and grandma’s house for two days, okay?” mother lovingly pinched Lundy’s chubby face.
Lundy blinked blankly and looked at me.
