Chapter 69
Bonnie greeted us nervously. “What are you doing here?” I asked coldly.
She trembled slightly and explained cautiously, “I saw Lundy here, so I came to talk to him.” Then, she looked at the child with a fake smile and asked, “Right, Lundy?”
The child looked at her and remained silent, then turned around and ran back to me, holding onto my pants tightly. Seeing the child’s reaction, my expression darkened, and I looked at Bonnie. “I will take Lundy down later, you can go down first.”
I said coldly. Bonnie opened her mouth, but then turned around and left without saying anything. The room was quiet with only Lundy and me left. “What did you guys talk about just now?” Penn frowned and looked at his child.
The child had shown obvious fear when he had approached earlier. Lundy shook his head and looked resistant to communicating, showing a similar expression to when he was non-verbal in the past.
Seeing this, I felt a bit uneasy and didn’t pursue the matter further. I just silently comforted the child by patting his head.
After breakfast downstairs, I took Lundy out.
On the way to the company, I saw Lundy in the rearview mirror and frowned.
“Daddy will drive you there.” I said in a low voice.
I was going to ask Bill to send the little guy there later, but seeing the little guy’s current state, if I ask Bill to send him there, I’m afraid that Bill won’t be able to deal with it.
Then I called Bill.
The person on the other end of the line answered the phone quickly. “Sir, when will you arrive?”
I frowned and said, “postpone the morning meeting for a while.”
“Put it off for about an hour,” I added. “I’ll drive Lundy home.”
After hanging up the phone, I turned around and drove towards Aimee’s home.
Soon, we arrived at Aimee’s house.
I got out of the car with Lundy and rang the doorbell.
Maybe it’s because I called her in advance. Soon, the door was opened from inside.
Aimee’s POV
“Why are you here? Didn’t you ask Bill to send Lundy here?”
When I saw the man standing at the door, I was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
He nodded and said, “I think I’d better send him here myself.”
I was a little suspicious. I looked down at the little guy and then realized something unusual.
In the past, every time he saw me, he would take the initiative to greet me. But this time, he just looked at me without saying a word.
It looked like he had been autistic before.
“Lundy?”.
The little guy finally came to his senses. He blinked his eyes and came to me. “Aunt…”
I breathed a sigh of relief. I raised my hand to touch the little guy’s head and looked up at the man in front of me. “What’s wrong with Lundy?”
Penn frowned and kept silent for a few seconds. Then he said, “he should tell you later.”
Hearing this, I was even more confused.
But the man didn’t seem to want to say anything more, so I didn’t ask much. I could only nod and agree.
“I have a meeting later, so I won’t stay here any longer,” said Penn in a low voice, handing the little guy to me. “I’ll leave Lundy to you. I’ll pick her up tonight.”
I raised my eyes and agreed.
After Penn left, I stayed at home with the three kids.
Lundy had been depressed since he entered the room. No matter how I talked with the two kids, he was a little depressed.
“Lundy, why are you unhappy? Can you tell me?” I stopped the game with the kids and took Lundy’s hand to sit on the carpet.
Aviva and Cyrus followed us worriedly.
Lundy pursed lips and hesitated.
I noticed that the little guy seemed to have some misgivings. He frowned worriedly and said, “you can tell me everything. I will definitely be on your side.”
The two little guys beside echoed, “and us! We will help you! Don’t be unhappy!”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“If you don’t tell us, mommy and we will be very worried.” Aviva looked into Lundy’s eyes seriously and said in a serious tone.
Upon hearing this, Lundy furrowed his brows slightly and looked at me anxiously. I put on a sad expression to match his. “Auntie…” Lundy looked worried. Seeing that he was hesitating, I made a tough decision and stood up from the carpet, sounding disappointed.
“If Lundy doesn’t want to talk about it, then Auntie won’t ask. Auntie will go prepare lunch for you guys.” I said, intending to leave. Just as I turned around, my pants were grabbed by the child. “Auntie, don’t go. Lundy will tell you.”
The child pleaded pitifully. Hearing this, I raised an eyebrow behind my back and smiled at Aviva and Cyrus at an angle that the child couldn’t see. Seeing that I sat back down next to him, the child looked cautious.
“Auntie, you have to promise me that you won’t be mad at Dad.” Lundy stared at me. Meeting his gaze, I softened my expression and nodded helplessly. “Okay, Auntie won’t be mad at Dad.” Upon hearing my words, the child spoke in a soft and childish voice, “Bad Auntie lives in my house.” I was confused, not knowing who the child was referring to. “It’s Bonnie!” Cyrus said angrily. Hearing this, I furrowed my brow.
Although I have promised him not to be angry, I still feel something strange in my heart.
I don’t know what Penn is thinking. He said he wanted to pursue me, but at the same time he let Bonnie live in his house.
Besides, Penn also knew that Bonnie hit Lundy. The little guy’s resistance to Bonnie was almost written on his face. With her around, the little guy would inevitably be in a low mood.
The little guy’s autism has just been getting better. I’m afraid that because of the existence of Bonnie, his condition will return to its original state.
We can’t even guarantee that Bonnie will take this opportunity to attack the little guy again.
The thought that my little fellow was bullied by Bonnie made my heart ache.
“Auntie.” Lundy pulled the hem of my clothes carefully.
I came to my senses and looked down at the little guy. “What’s wrong?”
“Are you angry?” the little boy frowned and looked worried. “You promised me not to be angry with Daddy.”
Seeing that the little guy was still talking for Penn, I couldn’t help feeling sad. “No, I will do what I promised you.”
The little guy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
“Is Lundy in a bad mood just because Aunt Bonnie lives at home?” I looked at the little guy gently.
The little boy said in a low voice, “the bad aunt didn’t treat Lundy well. Lundy hates her.”
Then he looked at me innocently, “Auntie, can you live in Lundy’s house? And brother and sister!”
When I looked into the eyes of the little guys, my eyes were full of excitement, but the reality did not allow me to do so.
“I’m sorry.” I held the little guy into my arms and asked him in a soft voice, “does Lundy dislike Aunt Bonnie very much?”
Seeing the obvious resistance on the little boy’s face, I felt a little helpless. “Aunt, brother and sister may not be able to live in your house, but I will help you to talk to your father. Don’t worry.”
Although Justin looked disappointed, he nodded obediently.
Penn’s POV
When I came to pick up Lundy, I had a big quarrel with Aimee because of Bonnie. She didn’t listen to my explanation at all. In the end, we broke up in discord.
I frowned and drove the car. Through the rearview mirror, I saw the little guy in the back seat staring at me all the time.
“What’s wrong?” I asked in a low voice.
Lundy tilted her head and asked in a sweet voice, “did dad quarrel with aunt just now?”
