It was late afternoon when Martha returned to the Doyle Manor.
When she came back, Bianca came out of the kitchen and was stunned for a moment when she saw her, and then she smiled and said, "You're back."
"Bianca, where's Jimmy?"
Martha's mouth was curled in a light smile, and her eyebrows were tinged with a bit of sadness that was hard to conceal.
She was sad at the thought that it was possible to leave here and never come back.
For the rest of the time, she wanted to spend with these family members.
Bianca smiled gently and softly responded, "He is in his room."
"I'll go check on him, then."
Martha answered softly and walked quickly upstairs, afraid that if she stayed a moment longer, Bianca would see something different.
She arrived at the door of Jimmy's room, hesitated, and raised her hand and knocked gently on the door.
Soon, Jimmy's soft voice came from the room.
"Come in."
Martha pushed open the door and saw Jimmy sitting at the door of the balcony, holding a long paintbrush in his little hand, obviously looking like he was drawing.
When Jimmy saw his mommy coming, his eyes lit up and he called out loudly, "Mommy you're back."
"Mmm."
Martha answered softly, her anxious mood was relieved for a moment, and a light smile played on the corners of her mouth, "What is Jimmy drawing here?"
"I'm drawing the garden downstairs."
Jimmy happily responded, and reached out to point to the garden downstairs.
Martha walked over and gently rubbed Jimmy's head, and at a glance saw the painting on the easel.
Jimmy was young. His painting was full of childishness, but the flowers were colorful and very beautiful.
She looked at Jimmy with a soft look in her eyes and sat on the chair next to the easel, "Jimmy's drawing is good."
When Jimmy heard this, his eyes lit up and his face was full of happiness.
He knew that his mommy was a painter. When his mommy painted, he would paint beside her.
Now he was very happy to get compliments from his mommy for the painting he drew.
Martha, however, was not as carefree as Jimmy. After a few words between them, she asked the question that troubled her.
"What does Jimmy want to do in the future?"
Jimmy took a look at the painting he drew, cocked his head and thought seriously before giving his answer.
"I want to open a big company in the future and become a big shot."
Just like daddy did.
In Jimmy's mind, his daddy was great, and yet his daddy didn't know how to take care of his mommy.
When Martha heard this, the smile on her lips widened and she asked with a light smile.
"Jimmy is grown up now. If mommy is gone in the future, you can take care of yourself very well, right?"
Jimmy nodded seriously, patting his chest and answering proudly, "That's for sure."
At this moment, Jimmy didn't even realize that Mommy would leave him one day, he just took it as a casual question from Mommy.
Martha's heart was a little sore, but the smile at the corner of her mouth didn't disappear, as she did not want Jimmy to notice anything wrong at all.
Jimmy didn't think much about it, but his eyes were twirling and his mind was constantly thinking about how to create more opportunities for his daddy and mommy.
After a long time, he said smartly, "Mommy, my teacher said that learning to write a diary can help me know a lot of words."
"So Jimmy is going to start writing a diary?"
Martha's eyes became softer and softer as she looked at the child, and her voice was unconsciously softer.
