President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 285

“I...” I opened my mouth and hesitated for a long time.

I knew why he dare not look up. He was afraid that I would turn him down. He was afraid that I would see him at a loss.

In the end, my heart softened. I said, “I will marry you.”

My mood did not improve at all. I was more nervous.

But since I said it, I would do it.

-

The next day, I went back to Sceaux.

Lester and Murray came to pick me up.

As soon as Lester saw me, he came running quickly. He hugged my neck and said, “Mom, I thought you abandoned me.”

“Why? Mom had to deal with something before.” I could’t help kissing his chubby little face.

After I got back to the studio, Lester followed me wherever I went.

He seemed afraid that I would leave again.

Usually he went to bed at nine, but today he didn’t want to go to bed.

I told him three stories but he didn’t sleep. Several times his eyes were closed. As soon as I put the book down, he immediately opened his eyes and said, “Mom, I’m not asleep!”

“Do you want to go to kindergarten tomorrow?” I touched his little head. “Why are you so energetic today?”

Lester put his arm around me and blinked. He looked at me and didn’t talk for a long time.

“What’s the matter?” I asked.

Lester pouted. “I’m afraid you’ll be gone when I wake up tomorrow morning after I fall asleep.”

His words made my heart ache.

The reason was it.

I patted his body and said softly, “how could it be? I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be with you as before, OK?”

Lester looked at me and his eyes were full of doubt.

He hesitated for a moment and put his hand out of the quilt. He clenched his fist and held out a little thumb and said to me, “promise me!”

“OK.” I also held out my little thumb and caught his finger. I said, “I promise!”

“A liar will become a dog!” Lester added.

“OK.”

I nodded seriously.

Lester was already sleepy.

He closed his eyes as soon as I promised. He fell asleep in a minute.

After I confirmed that he was asleep, I put the book down. I came out of his room gently.

When I passed Murray’s lounge, I saw the light was still on.

I didn’t plan to go in, but it suddenly occurred to me that Murray had told me that he had a sister who looked like me.

Suddenly I had an almost impossible idea in my mind!

I went over without hesitation and knocked at the door. I didn’t push the door until Murray let me in.

He was watching TV. I went straight over and asked, “master, can you tell me more about your sister? What’s her name? Where is she now? When did she leave?”

I didn’t really care.

But now I thought if his sister was pregnant when she left and the time was right, she was probably my mother!

Murray was shocked by my questions.

He looked at me suspiciously. “Why are you interested in her?”

“I...” I thought about it and told Murray what happened in York these days.

Murray was more shocked than I was.
