It was already past six o'clock when Yvonne woke up again. It was a little dark in the room. She got up from the bed. The slight pain in her waist made her gasp. She recalled what happened earlier, and her face instantly flushed. However, this time, she was the one who was willing to do this. How could she be tempted by him again? She thought.
When she was still blushing, there was a knock on the door again. She said in a hoarse voice, "Coming." She almost lost her balance when she stood up, but she endured the discomfort of her body and put on her clothes. Since the person who knocked on the door didn't come in directly, it should not be Noel, so she had to dress neatly.
When she went out, she saw a soldier she didn't know. Larry Zhao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm the guard of the first squad. You can call me Larry." As he spoke, he came in and put the dinner on the table. "Captain and Jacob are having dinner in the office. They asked me to bring it to you."
Yvonne thought, 'Did they eat in the office? And Noel takes Jacob with him?' After expressing her thanks, she watched the guard leave. Did Noel want everyone to know that she was the mother of his child? At the beginning, when the guard called her "sister-in-law", she would blush. But now she didn't feel anything. She closed the door. Did she actually accept her new identity?
She went back to look at the food on the table, thinking that she was a little tired taking care of her son all by herself in the past few years. Maybe she should find someone to rely on, and maybe Noel was the one.
She sat down to have dinner. She wanted to give him a chance, and also give herself a chance. What she wanted was a home that could shelter her and her son from the wind and rain.
After having a simple dinner, Jacob climbed to his father's side to check his documents. He lay directly on his father and asked, "Daddy, when will we go back?"
"Are you sleepy?" He looked down at his son and touched his cute face with his big hand.
Jacob shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that mommy will forget to eat." He had slept in Charles's house at noon, so he was not sleepy at the moment. He was just worried about his mother, otherwise, he would be willing to stay in the office with his father.
Thinking of that woman, Noel was really worried. But seeing that he hadn't finished the military selection plan yet, he knew he couldn't come home yet. Timothy hadn't come back to the base, he had to do the part for Timothy.
"Daddy will ask Uncle Larry to walk you home. I have something to do and have to go back later." It might be good to have a son to accompany her. He didn't know how she was doing. She had begged him several times to stop in the afternoon, but he didn't. Maybe he wore her out.
Jacob wanted to stay with his father, but he was worried about his mother. He nodded and got down from his father. "I'll go back by myself." He had a strong sense of direction and could remember the road after walking here once, so he could go back by himself.
"Good boy, go ahead." He kissed him on the cheek and let him go. He had a good son, and because of this, he had to be grateful to Yvonne.
After returning home, Jacob checked the kitchen first. It was very good. At least, his mother had finished the food. Looking at his mother who was watching TV, he smiled and fell into his mother's arms. "Mommy, Mommy."
Looking at her son, Yvonne held him and watched TV together. "Jacob, do you have a good time here? Are you happy?"
Jacob nodded. "Mommy, I like it here. There are many interesting things here, and daddy knows a lot." Now, in Jacob's eyes, Noel was almost like a God.
Yvonne held her son and patted him slowly. For the sake of her son, she could give it a try. "Then let's live here from now on, okay?"
"Really?" Hearing his mother's words, Jacob's eyes lit up. He slid down from his mother's body and jumped up and down in the room excitedly. Looking at her son, all the things that worried her suddenly disappeared.
When Noel finished his work and came back, it was already midnight. But when he looked up, he saw that the light in his house was still on. He smiled slightly. In this world, there was finally a light that was lit for him, only for himself.
He closed his eyes and opened again. The light was still on. He guessed that the silly woman hadn't gone to bed yet. He suddenly wanted to see her, so he ran up to her without thinking.
When he opened the door, he saw the mother and son playing happily in the living room, and they also saw him standing at the door. Feeling a little embarrassed, Yvonne stood up, but Jacob rushed over and said, "Daddy, Daddy."
Noel held him up and asked, "Why don't you go to bed?"
Putting his arms around his father's neck, Jacob said with a smile, "Dad, Mommy said she would stay here with me."
As soon as he finished his words, Noel suddenly raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him who was lowering her head in embarrassment. He grinned from ear to ear. Did she finally agree to stay?
Noel looked down at Jacob and said, "Jacob, let me take you to bed." When his son fell asleep, he came out to look for Yvonne.
