Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 555

The next day, Martha woke up to find Jimmy staring at her by the bedside.
Jimmy was propping his chin on his hands, blinking his eyes.
When he saw her wake up, he smiled and said, "Mommy, you're awake!"
Martha smiled and gently stroked Jimmy's head.
"Mommy, can I not go to kindergarten today?" The little boy tilted his head with an unhappy expression.
"Why not?"
"Because I want to spend more time with Mommy. If I go to kindergarten again, I won't see you."
Martha got up and Jimmy followed her like a little tail wherever she went for fear of losing sight of her again.
"How about this? Mommy will take you to kindergarten today and pick you up after class. Is that okay?"
After hearing this proposal from his mother, his eyes lit up immediately as he nodded obediently. "Okay!"
Just as they were about to have breakfast together at home, the doorbell rang.
Bianca was going to answer it but Martha asked her to sit down instead. "I'll get it."
Outside the door stood Stefan leaning slightly against the frame looking somewhat unruly but not in a way that would make people feel frivolous.
When Martha saw him, she brightened up immediately. "What brings you here?"
Stefan raised an eyebrow slightly and held out a bag of Schlotzsky's sandwiches, saying jokingly, "Your favorite."
Martha didn't immediately take it from him but instead stepped aside slightly allowing him into the house.
"Oh! It's Dad! And there are sandwiches!"
Jimmy was thrilled; Dad always knew what he liked best!
The little guy bounced over carrying the sandwiches towards the dining table, then opened the bag, saying, "Grandpa and Granny, you eat."
Maxwell looked at Bianca who understood right away what needed doing.
"Jimmy should eat first; your grandpa and I are full," she said promptly.
Maxwell cleared his throat lightly, then suggested they go for a walk in the garden before leaving together, so only a family of three remained in the dining room now - just one happy family enjoying their meal together.
"Jimmy, come on, open your mouth!" Martha handed him one sandwich which Jimmy bit into eagerly while smacking his lips contentedly and saying, "Mommy is so good!"
Stefan's gaze flickered slightly as he stared at that sandwich, then back at Martha, without making any move or sound.
She asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Jimmy giggled, "I know! Daddy's jealous because Mommy only feeds me and not him!"
Martha looked at Stefan in surprise, but he just shrugged nonchalantly without saying a word.
She couldn't help but laugh and handed him a sandwich. "Here you go, Mr. CEO."
Stefan held her wrist and took a bite of sandwich.
"How does it taste?" Martha asked.
"Delicious."
After breakfast, Stefan suggested taking Jimmy to kindergarten.
"Aren't you busy with work?" Martha asked.
"Even if I am busy, I still have time to spend with you and Jimmy," Stefan replied as they headed out together to drop off their son at kindergarten.
As soon as they arrived at the kindergarten gate, little Jimmy insisted on walking between them while holding both of their hands.
"This is great! Both my dad and mom are sending me to kindergarten together. Other kids only have one parent send them," he exclaimed excitedly.
Just then another little girl approached with her parents by her side.
"Oh? It's Jimmy!" she said happily as she shook his hand in greeting.
"Good morning, Linda!" Jimmy smiled back proudly before introducing his parents, "This is my dad and mom."
"Hello, Uncle, Auntie!" Linda greeted them politely.
Jimmy then whispered something into Linda's ear, "Are my parents good-looking?"
Linda nodded, saying, "Jimmy's mother is like an angel!"
Martha couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the compliment.
Yet what Linda said next stunned everyone else.
"Uncle, you're so handsome! Can I marry you once I grow up?"
Stefan's face changed slightly, as he didn't know how to respond.
"Linda, don't say such things," Linda's mother apologized, "Sorry, she's too little to know anything."
"It's no biggie."
Martha reassured the embarrassed mother before winking playfully at Stefan as they walked towards the classroom, holding hands with their son.
Jimmy was especially excited today; introducing his parents proudly to all of his classmates who looked on enviously as he beamed with pride.
"Bye-bye, Mommy, Daddy! Don't forget to pick me up!"
Exiting the kindergarten, Martha couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Stefan lifted his gaze and asked in a deep voice, "What's so funny?"
"Well, you truly are something else, even a little girl is charmed by your beauty."
Stefan coughed uneasily and then said seriously, "I don't care about anyone else's opinion of me except yours."
His gaze was so intense that Martha quickly looked away and changed the subject.
"Well, I want to go to the Doyle Group. It's been such a long time since I left and I have no idea what the situation is like now."
"I'll go with you."
