President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 486

Sorry.

He apologized to me before, but at this moment, I was relieved.

I raised my hand and gently hugged him and replied, “it’s all over.”

It was all over.

I hoped everything would be OK in the future.

Three days after that day, Lester was all right and discharged safely.

Because he was going to primary school in September, I sent him to preschool.

He had to study a few months before going to primary school.

Lester was obedient.

On my third day in preschool, when I went to pick him up, the teacher told me, “Lester is very smart. Although many things are learned for the first time, he has mastered them faster than other students.”

I just smiled and said, “he’s like his father.”

Yes, he was like his father.

But I didn’t know where Lester’s father Sean was now.

He had been missing for months.

I couldn’t help but despair.

Was Sean really going to hide from me for the rest of his life?

I had no news of him. Every morning I had hope when I opened my eyes, but I despaired when I went to bed at night.

I didn’t know how long I would be like this.

Soon Lester went to primary school.

On the first day of school, when I sent Lester to the gate of primary school, other children were sent by their parents.

Lester looked around. Although he didn’t say it, I knew that he must be missing Sean.

I squatted down and said, “Lester, Dad will be back soon after he’s cured."

Lester shook his head. “It’s OK, mom. I’m a primary school student now. I can protect you.”

I knew he didn’t think Sean would come back.

In fact, sometimes, I thought so.

But I insisted, “Dad will be back soon.”

“OK.”

Lester nodded.

But I could see that there was some confusion and distrust in his eyes.

I didn’t believe it. How could I expect a child to believe it?

I went to work in the company.

I just made a cup of coffee and sat for less than five minutes, and Chloe ran in and said, “Becky, someone’s coming to see you.”

“Let him in.”

I didn’t care and thought it was a customer.

Chloe shook her head. “She’s in the conference room. You’d better go there.”

When she said that, I felt something was wrong.

I looked up at Chloe, who was holding the door, and asked her, “who is it?”

“You’d better go there.” Chloe finished and ran.

Was that Sean?

When I thought about it, I felt like I was really crazy. When a client came to me, I thought of him.

Besides, how could he be here?

We redecorated the previous house. Now Linda and I were working upstairs, and everyone else was downstairs.
