President's Substitute Wife

Chapter 497 Go ahead

Sean and I didn’t pick up Lester after we went back. Sean was very busy because of his work.

He worked overtime almost every day until early morning.

At first, I waited for him to get off work at night.

But he got off work too late every day. Sometimes he just lived in the office.

I waited for a few days and finally gave up.

But I was still worried about his legs. Because the doctor said he would have to do rehabilitation training when he came back, but Sean was too busy to go home.

A week after Sean returned home, I couldn’t bear it.

I went straight to Sean’s office after work in the afternoon.

The receptionist didn’t stop me this time. I made it to the top floor.

As soon as I entered Sean’s office, I saw a small rehabilitation device.

I couldn’t help but froze.

Sean looked at me. “Why are you here?”

“Are you not going home because you are doing rehabilitation training?” I couldn’t help being angry.

I began to think about whether he was afraid that I would laugh at him so he would not do rehabilitation training in front of me.

But I quickly denied this idea. After all, when we were abroad, I watched him do rehabilitation training.

He put down the document and closed his eyes. He rubbed his temples and said, “no, I’ve been too busy lately and I don’t have time for rehabilitation. I asked Eric to buy me a set of equipment and put it in the office. So that I can use my spare time.”

I was sorry.

I thought too much. He had been abroad for a long time and must have a lot of documents to deal with. It was normal that he didn’t have time.

I put down my bag and walked behind him. I put my arm around his neck and put my face to his ear and murmured, “you don’t have to work too hard.”

“OK.” He clapped my hand. “My work is almost over. I’ll have time for you later.”

“It’s OK.” I shook my head and looked at the scattered papers on his desk.

Sean’s comments could be seen in the margins of those files.

It seemed that he was really focused on his work these days.

I put my head on his head and I said, “don’t be too busy. I’m not a child. I don’t need your company all the time. Just adjust your working time. Don’t stay up late, or you will die suddenly.”

“I see.” He laughed.

“So did you have dinner today?”

It was just time for dinner. I didn’t think he had supper yet.

In this way, I could eat with him.

But Sean looked up at the meal in the corner and shook his head.

I looked at the meal in the corner and realized something. I said, “didn’t you have lunch?”

“Yes, I did.”

Sean replied quickly.

But I was sure he didn’t have lunch.

I was helpless. I held his hand. “Eat with me.”

“OK.”

His voice was gentle and he didn’t contradict me.

It seemed that he listened to me whatever I said.

My heart was warm.

Before I got up, the office door opened again.

I was lying on Sean’s back.

We both looked up and saw Jack coming in.

Jack blinked and looked at us and said, “go ahead.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Then he went out.

Although he went out, I saw that the door was not closed tightly.

There seemed to be something moving in the crack of the door.

Then Sean said, “come in.”

The door opened again. Jack stood at the door and said awkwardly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t really mean to disturb you.”

“No.”

I immediately backed away and wanted to stay away, but Sean grabbed my hand and pulled me to his side.

I stand beside him. Jack looked at us and took two things out of his pocket and put them on the table. “Daisy and I are waiting for you to attend our wedding. You’re back, so I send the invitation right away.”

Sean reached out and looked at the invitation that Jack had placed on the table.

I saw the date was next weekend and said, “it’s almost time!”

“Daisy is three months pregnant. She said she would not marry me without a wedding. I even want to have a wedding tomorrow!”

Jack was worried, but he looked happy.

He seemed to really love Daisy.

Sean put the invitation on the table and asked, “are you ready? Do you need my help?”

Sean was Jack’s good friend. He must help him.

Jack listened to him and immediately smiled and waved. “No, my mother is very happy to know that I am going to get married. She had everything ready early.”

“I think your parents would like to have a wedding for you as soon as possible.” Sean said.

Jack nodded. “Yes, my mother was tired of me living at home. Later I moved and only went back on weekends, but she was still tired of me. She told me to get married and have a baby soon. She said she was tired of boys now.”

Jack was a chatterbox. He couldn’t stop talking.

Especially when he was complaining about his mother.

Sean listened and was impatient, “I see. We will take part.”

“Well, then you have to speak on the stage!”

Sean certainly wouldn’t refuse, but Sean agreed in person and Jack looked happy.

Sean’s eyes drooped and he was silent for a moment and didn’t immediately agree.

I knew why he hesitated.

It was difficult for him to stand on stage now. He may need a crutch.

I wanted to say no for him, but Sean said, “OK, no problem.”

“Then I will leave. I won’t disturb you!”

Jack left.

After he left, I said worriedly, “Jack is our friend. If you have any difficulty, you can tell him directly.”

“I know.” Sean looked up at the rehabilitation equipment and said, “but we’ve already said that. I can’t let him down.”

Yes, Jack had always admired Sean.

They must have made an appointment.

While Sean and I were talking, there was another knock.
