Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 

“It’s almost noon. Have you had lunch? Hayden asked. 

Stacey shook her head and replied, “Not yet, but I’m on break now and can join you” Her spirits were high, so she offered. “Mr. Hoggard, let me treat you to a meal. Mr. Lane, would you like to join us?” she asked with a smile, turning to Adam Lane, who was accompanying Hayden. 

When Adam heard that, he glanced at Hayden and quickly shook his head, politely declining, “No need. I promised my wife I’d be home for lunch today. If I don’t get back, she’ll be upset.” 

Everyone laughed when they heard that. 

Hayden smiled and commented, “You seem to have a good relationship with your wife.” 

The next moment, Adam, the head of Southern TV, nodded. He smiled and responded, “Since that’s the case, let’s all go and 

Everyone went out smiling. Meanwhile, Adam got into his car and drove home. Stacey and Charlie walked Hayden and Jeremy to their car. They were accompanied by Lynn and Charlie’s manager, Cassie Colt. Stacey had known Hayden and Jeremy were visiting, so she had researched the famous restaurants in South City and picked out several good places. She could now take Hayden and Jeremy to try them out together. 

Jeremy remained by Becky’s side the whole time, preferring not to wander too far from her. Upon reaching the restaurant, Stacey guided Jeremy into the establishment and carefully lifted him, personally settling him on the couch. Jeremy rarely died out in his childhood. At that moment, he glanced around, absorbing everything with sharp interest. 

The waiter handed out menus, one for each person. Stacey invited Hayden to order his favorite dishes first, then took the menu and began picking out options with Jeremy. Jeremy flipped through the menu and pointed out several dishes with vibrant colors. Stacey ordered all the dishes Jeremy had selected then turned and handed the menu back to the waiter. 

Hayden kept an eye on Jeremy as he picked out the food. Hayden knew that his son had already picked out enough food, so he decided not to order anything else. Charlie snorted and randomly picked two dishes while Lynn ordered one for herself. Cassie also chose a dish.. 

The waiter put away all the menus before leaving the room. 

After the waiter left, Stacey looked at Hayden and tried to find a subject, “Hasn’t your company been busy lately?” she asked. Stacey felt awkward and thought, ‘We can’t just sit there in silence. 

“Well, we have a few days off, Hayden replied briefly. 

“Wow!” Stacey replied. Her eyes lit up as she deliberately praised, “I am so jealous of you. You should get a good rest.” 

Hayden smiled and said, “You can take a vacation too.” 

Stacey thought about it and shook her head. She couldn’t afford to rest. “I need to make a lot of money. I have to support Lily and Kev,” she replied and smiled. Stacey’s parents were very kind to her, and the Carter family was wealthy. However, Lillian and Kevin were her children, and she felt it was her responsibility to raise ther on her own. She couldn’t let her parents take on that role for her. 

“That’s good,” Hayden replied and nodded. 

I can raise Lily and Kev] Jeremy wrote on his writing tablet and then held it up to Becky. Every Christmas, his grandparents and many relatives gave him money. Now, he had plenty of savings to help support his younger siblings. 

Stacey laughed when she saw Jeremy’s words.

Charlie also read what Jeremy wrote. He was alarmed when he saw it. “You don’t have to raise them. They are my nephews, and I can raise them! Charlie said to Jeremy on purpose. 

When Jeremy heard that, he became anxious and hurriedly wrote again, I can raise them.] 

“No, thanks,” Charlie refused. 

Jeremy grew anxious. He clutched his writing tablet, looking back and forth between Charlie and Becky, unsure of what to do. 

Stacey looked at Charlie and said helplessly, “Charlie, don’t pick on Jeremy. Then, she turned to Jeremy and smiled, saying, “Don’t worry. I can afford to raise Lily and Kev. You don’t have to it.” 

Jeremy continued to write. I have a lot of money. I can support my Lily and Kev!) 

Stacey didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Jeremy’s words. She hurriedly said, “Yes, I know you’re a good boy and really want to help. I’m very grateful, but we’re not short of money now 

Jeremy looked slightly dejected. 

“You can still do it, Hayden suddenly interrupted. Jeremy turned to his father, and Hayden looked back at his son, earnestly explained, “If you like Lily and Kev, you can use your pocket money to buy them things, such as food, drinks, clothes, toys, school supplies… or anything” 

Stacey was dumbfounded. 

Jeremy’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly wrote, [Can I?] 

Hayden nodded and said, “Of course. You can buy something and give it to Lily and Kev if they are willing to accept what you give them.”
