Isaac entered the bathroom to find a sink and shower in the small space. Is it me or is there no bathtub here?!
Placed on the sink were Patricia’s light green toothbrush, cup, towel, and some cosmetics, clean and immaculate. There weren’t even droplets of water on the counter. He approved of her lifestyle because she at least tidied up the house to create a wholesome atmosphere.
Although there were no luxuries in the old house, the simple ornaments and minimalistic furniture definitely made it a homey place to stay, unlike his house, which came with a black and white theme. It exerted an aloof air without a smidgen of a lively atmosphere.
At that moment, Patricia handed him a new toothbrush, cup, and towel. “If you wanna shower, there’s warm water.”
She reckoned that a guy like him would feel uncomfortable without a shower every day. He looked at the toothbrush and cup, which were blue in color, before taking them.
“I’ll be waiting for you downstairs. You can come down for breakfast after your shower.” She then turned around, causing her hair to flutter, releasing a subtle sweet fragrance in the air.
It smelled familiar to him for some reason, but he could not recall where he encountered the exact same scent. Taking a deep breath, he realized that the whole bathroom was rife with her engaging scent.
Patricia went downstairs, where the three kids were waiting for her by the staircase before going to school. They were donned in navy school uniforms while carrying their bags.
Sylvie giggled. “Tricia, have you just got up? What about him?”
Patricia’s face tinged with red, but she remained calm. “He’s up. Scott, Stellan, come here. I need to tell you guys something.”
Sylvie looked at her brothers in contemplation. “Don’t bully Mr. Handsome in the future, got it?”
Scott caressed her head. “Hmm.”
It was not until then did she let out a sweet smile. “I’ll wait for you guys outside. Hurry up, or we’ll be late for school.”
Patricia held the boys’ hands while walking toward the couch. She took a seat before staring at the two good-looking boys. Not only did they have well-defined features, but they were also smart.
It was probably because they took after their father, who should not be that bad.
“You shouldn’t treat guests like that, okay?”
Especially toward Isaac. He’s too clever, and I got it from him too. I’d rather suffer a little than lose more by going against him. Otherwise, you guys will end up worse than I do.
“Okay.” They nodded obediently, acting the same as always whenever they were given a lecture.
“Okay. You should head off for school now.” She added, “Mrs. Zimmers, could you send them to school?”
Josephine came out of the kitchen. “Sure, Tricia. The porridge is on the table, and so are the side dishes.” After informing her, she left alongside the children.
Patricia poured herself a cup of lukewarm water. While drinking, she thought she should find herself a job as soon as possible. Right then, she received a call from Darcie.
She picked up the phone. “Darcie.”
“Tricia, good news from the hospital—there’s a compatible donor! It’s said that he’s currently serving in the army. We’re waiting for them to contact us at the moment.”
It was definitely a piece of rejoicing news. Money did make the world go round, for they had found a compatible donor after yesterday’s payment.
