Scott and Stellan shook their heads. “Mommy, you’re the one who has it tough.”
Since young, the two were aware of how tough things were for their mommy as she juggled several jobs each day for their sake. Not only that, she refrained from treating herself by spending money on pretty clothes or branded make-up products. That was the reason why they were determined to study hard as they hoped to grow up quickly to lessen her burden.
Patricia glanced at the handsome faces of her two sons and saw the firm look in their eyes. At that moment, she could feel her emotions overwhelming her.
I will literally do anything for my two sensible sons! She walked over and hugged them tightly.
“Thanks for choosing me as your mom.”
She realized that she had her flaws and was not able to provide them with a good life or even a father. To that, she was utterly grateful to be chosen as their protector.
At that moment, Sylvie rushed over and joined their group hug.
“I’m here. I want a hug too!”
The two boys pulled Sylvie into the middle and all three of them hugged her tightly as she beamed widely. “Hahaha… We’re a happy family!”
After their touching moment, they finally got into the car.
Suddenly, Sylvie asked, “Tricia, last night, Mr. Handsome called me and asked to speak with Scott and Stellan. He told them that you had to travel for work last night, so you couldn’t get home on time. Where did you travel to? I want to go too!”
Mommy should bring me with her wherever she goes especially when Mommy’s with Mr. Handsome! Mommy should have brought us too. I enjoy seeing him because he looks similar to Scott and Stellan! We are like a family! Sylvie thought.
Patricia lifted her eyes slightly and thought, No wonder they didn’t ask for me! He informed them beforehand.
Not bad, Isaac. What a man of principles.
Last night, it completely crossed her mind that she would have to inform the two sons regarding her late check-in at home. Not to mention, she had a ‘curfew’ at 10.00PM; otherwise, the brothers would have pestered her to find out her location.
She had been so focused on locating Percy that she forgot about her three kids at home.
A warm fuzzy feeling welled up within her and undeniably, Isaac deserved all of his achievements and titles.
“I was on the outskirts of town and it was getting too late to return. Sylvie, I have to travel for work, so I can’t bring you along.”
Sylvie nodded. “Okay, then. Can we invite Mr. Handsome over for dinner soon, then? I miss him.” I haven’t seen him in ages and I miss him so much!!
Patricia glanced at Sylvie from the rearview mirror and noticed that there was a wistful look in the little girl’s sparkly eyes.
Since when did Sylvie become best buddies with Isaac?
Stellan also piped up, “Mommy, we think that Mr. Arnold is great. You should go out with him.”
The two boys had discussed the matter and came up with this decision. The man had a great personality even in a drunken state and he was good-looking as well. Besides, each time their mommy had to stay out for the night, he would inform them in advance, granting him extra points as her potential partner. In conclusion, they were very willing to have a man like Isaac to care for their mommy and love her the same way they did.
At that point, Patricia nearly mistook the brake for the accelerator. What did they just say?
Sylvie tumbled off from her seat and climbed up from the car mat.
“Patricia Aniston, could you not step on the brake so suddenly? It’s so painful.”
Scott and Stellan both reached out and placed their protective hands in front of Sylvie’s waist to prevent her from tumbling off her seat again.
Meanwhile, Patricia smiled sheepishly. “Alright, I’ll slow down. However, things between Mr. Arnold and I aren’t what you guys think. He’s my boss and I work at his company, so we see each other quite often. Still, there is nothing between the two of us and I would never date him.”
