When she said this, her eyes were filled with a complicated look.
She had just thought about it.
If she couldn't accompany this child to grow up afterwards, Jimmy could grow up healthy under the shelter of Stefan.
After all, no one could guarantee that the fight over there would not get the child involved.
Jimmy heard this, his nervousness eased a lot, but he still asked uneasily.
"Then how did Mommy just say something like that?"
Martha's eyelids lowered and after thinking seriously, she said in a soft voice, "Mommy may need to go for a business trip for a while, so ..."
Before she finished her sentence, Jimmy eagerly asked, "Where is Mommy going to go on a business trip? How long will it take?"
Her long eyelashes fluttered lightly, and her eyes were filled with a bleak look.
"I don't know it yet, it may take a long time to come back."
When Jimmy heard this, he couldn't let go of his mommy and moved his little body and hugged her waist.
"Can you take Jimmy on your business trip?"
Martha shook her head slightly and replied with a bitter smile, "I am going to work, not to play."
What's more, it was so dangerous there, how could she bear to let Jimmy go with her and take the risk.
As soon as her words came out of her lips, Jimmy's voice sounded, "I see. I will be good and stay in the hotel."
The child's big eyes were filled with a imploring look, and Martha's heart softened as she watched.
She smiled, stroked Jimmy's head, and said softly, "I can't take you on a business trip, because I will feel at ease only when you stay here."
Jimmy stiffened, and after a long hesitation, his voice of reluctance rang out in the room.
"Then don't worry about me. Mommy, just go ahead. I will take care of myself at home."
Although he didn't understand why Mommy couldn't take him along, he was a good boy and would do as he was told and wait for Mommy to return.
Since Mommy said she would feel more at ease if he stayed at home, he would be a good boy and wait for Mommy to come back.
Martha smiled gratefully and looked at the child in front of her with a lot of affection.
Jimmy had finally regained his health, but she didn't expect that she had to leave.
...
At night, Martha accompanied her father to play chess in the study.
