I smiled at Sean. “No.”
At this time, Linda and Daisy left quietly.
Before going out, Linda said, “President Jessop, Becky worked overtime and our design was finished ahead of time, so she can take the next ten days off. If it’s not enough, she can take 20 or 30 days off...
“Let’s go.”
Daisy grabbed Linda and stopped her from planning to give me a permanent holiday.
In the ward, only Sean and I were left.
Sean sat on the bed and took my hand and said discontentedly, “You don’t let me disturb you, and I didn’t, but only if you can’t get sick.”
“I’m sorry. I just...”
“You just want to immerse yourself in work and avoid the Internet?”
Sean asked me.
I nodded. I thought about it and asked, “what’s up on the Internet now? Is it better?”
“Well, you’d better use less Internet these days. Read more books.” Sean rubbed my hair. “Do you want to go to the island? Linda said you have a holiday these days. I’ll take you to the island. You can bring your friends and Lester.”
“Really?”
I remembered that Daisy had told me before that she wanted to go.
“Yes, but Cindy and I were married there before. If you mind, I can book another island in the maldives...”
“No, I don’t mind. It’s fine.”
And it would cost a lot of money to book another island.
Sean’s island was great.
Sean nodded. “Well, when you’re better, we’ll go.”
“All right.”
I looked at my phone and reached for it.
But Sean reached out and stopped me. He put my cell phone in his pocket and said, “you need a good rest. I’ll buy you some books later. Don’t look at your cell phone these days.”
“But...”
“Aren’t you on holiday? You don’t need a cell phone. I’ll take your call. If Lester contacts you, I’ll tell him.”
Sean’s tone was very determined. He didn’t seem to want me to touch that cell phone at all.
I understood that things on the Internet had not stopped.
I wanted to say something, but Sean went to the door and opened it and asked, “do you have any plans for your holiday?”
I guessed Daisy and Linda were outside.
But after he asked, it was quiet outside and no one answered.
A few seconds later, I heard Linda ask, “President Jessop, what do you mean?”
“When Becky gets well, I’m going to take her to my private island. If you are free...”
“I’m free!”
Before Sean finished, Daisy said excitedly.
At this time, they went into the ward. Linda gave me a look. I advised her, “go ahead, you can take your family. I will take Lester with me.”
Linda just said, “can I bring my husband and daughter?”
Sean nodded naturally. “Of course. Each of you has your own room. If there are a lot of people, I can arrange a suite.”
“Thank you, President Jessop.”
Linda said.
