“Artic, is there something on your mind? You can talk to me about it!” Emily sat beside him and hugged his arm as she looked at him with doe eyes.
“No.” Arthur shook his head.
Then, she pursed her lips and asked, “Are you thinking about Sophia?”
Hearing this, he raised his beautiful eyebrows and answered again, “No.”
How could he possibly miss her? Anyway, she couldn’t escape until she returned his family heirloom.
At 9:30 PM, Anastasia accompanied her son into the room and helped him take a bath before changing into his adorable cartoon pajamas.
Jared’s wet hair was combed to the side,
revealing his handsome and delicate little face, making him look like a young prince.
“Jared, it’s your birthday soon. Think about what you want as your present!” she said.
“Will you give me anything I want?” the little guy asked slyly.
“Yes, I will!” She would, of course, do anything for him.
Then, Jared smiled and requested, “Okay, then. I’ll tell you what I want for my birthday. I want a brother and sister for my birthday present.”
When Anastasia heard this, she kept quiet for a few seconds before bursting into laughter. “I can’t give you that by your birthday!”
“I’m not in a rush for it, Mommy. You can give them to me for my birthday present next year!”
This made her sigh softly; she knew that her son was a little lonely. She gently stroked his little head and said, “Choose another gift. Let Mommy think about this one for a bit.”
The little guy immediately asked for another set of Legos, and she pulled him into a hug and kissed his head. “Okay, I’ll get that for you.”
After tucking Jared to bed, Anastasia returned to her room, picked up a briefcase from the couch, and looked through the documents. Elliot had a social gathering tonight, so she had to wait for him to return.
At about 11:00 PM, she heard the sound of a car, and soon, a handsome figure stepped through the door. The black suit and pants gave him a stylish yet domineering look. He looked like he had just stepped out of a magazine.
