Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 250

Hayden was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hands to pick up the child.

Hayden carried Jeremy to bed, squatted down, and took off his shoes.

"It shouldn't be too long." Hayden finally said.

Jeremy looked at his father, slightly confused.

Hayden thought for a while and said, "I think Becky likes me."

Hearing this, Jeremy's eyes lit up immediately. "Really?"

Hayden nodded with a smile. "Yes, and this is thanks to you," Hayden looked at Jeremy and said sincerely.

Jeremy's pupils dilated.

Hayden smiled and took off his coat. Then, he lay on the bed and said, "Don't worry. I will try my best. If nothing goes wrong, I plan to propose to Becky next year. If she agrees, we can prepare for the wedding soon. After we get married, you can officially call her Mommy."

"It's a promise!" Jeremy said in a hurried tone.

Hayden chuckled. "It's a promise, all right."

Jeremy's grievance and sadness were swept away, and his heart was brimming with happiness.

Hayden lay down and pulled Jeremy to lie down, saying, "Take a nap."

When Jeremy was at Isabella's house, he didn't sleep well. Hayden could tell that, but the child was also obedient and did not make any noise until now.

"Daddy, when are you going to propose to Ms. Becky?" Jeremy turned his head and asked expectantly.

Hayden's mind went blank for a moment, and then he thought about it seriously. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet, but if everything goes smoothly, I will propose next year."

"Okay!" Jeremy nodded eagerly.

Hayden smiled, looked at Jeremy, and said, "So you have to practice speaking and learn more words. In case when I officially get married to Becky, you won't be able to call her Mommy if you're still stuttering."

"No way!" Jeremy hurriedly retorted.

"We'll see," Hayden deliberately said.

"Humph, I'm sure I can do it. I'm able to call her Mommy now!" Jeremy said angrily.

Hayden thought as he listened to Jeremy talk, 'Although he speaks rather freely now, there's still something off about his... pronunciation.'

"There are seven or eight words in your sentence that are not pronounced correctly." Hayden smiled and pointed out Jeremy's mistakes.

Jeremy's words suddenly stopped. He glared at his father angrily, and his face turned beet red.

Hayden looked at Jeremy and couldn't help but chuckle.

Jeremy stared at his father. After a while, he was so angry that he got up. He pinched his father's mouth, and said fiercely, "Don't laugh!"

Jeremy didn't have much strength, but Hayden played along and acted as if Jeremy had pinched him hard. He looked at Jeremy with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Jeremy looked at his father and snorted. "I will definitely learn it."

Hayden controlled his expression and stopped laughing.

He moved, motioning for Jeremy to let him go.

Jeremy hesitated for a while before letting go of him.

"Go to sleep. I'll teach you how to speak properly when you wake up." Hayden chuckled.

Jeremy went silent.

Hayden left in a hurry. Downstairs, Stacey happened to get up not long ago. Seeing that Hayden was holding Jeremy nervously, she asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"Jeremy is sick. I'll take him to the hospital," Hayden said nervously.

Hearing this, Stacey was also anxious. She hurriedly put down the things in her hands and said, "I'll go with you."

Charlie was also in the living room. Seeing this, he was very worried and kept up with both of them.

Charlie was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly nodded. "Okay."

Stacey followed Hayden out and hurriedly called the driver of the Carter family to drive to the hospital.

When Stacey and Hayden were on their way, Charlie immediately called the hospital through the Carter family's connections.

In the hospital, the director received a call from Charlie and quickly promised to go downstairs immediately. As soon as Jeremy arrived, he would be treated immediately.

Hayden didn't know the director, but he could tell from his white coat that he was a doctor.

The director gave the child a simple examination and checked his pulse. After a while, he was relieved and explained, "It's just a common cold, not a big problem."

Stacey and Hayden were relieved when they heard this.

Hayden said, "Jeremy had surgery to repair his vocal cords a month ago. Does that have anything to do with it?"

What worried him most was that the operation a month ago would go wrong and affect his health.

The director was also stunned when he heard this, and then said seriously, "I'll have to check on it with an instrument."
