Chapter 768 A Small Card Each Day
“There are no more,” Joaquin answered seriously with a tense expression on his face.
Selena studied the card and found a date labeled on it. “That’s impossible. Daddy won’t just give you one card. Jojo, be a good boy and show Mommy, please?”
Selena hugged her son pleadingly while he stood firm. “There really are no more.”
“Jojo, look how much Mommy misses Daddy. Please show me; I worked so hard to take care of you three.” Selena didn’t believe for a second that Pierre would leave only one card behind.
Joaquin looked at Selena’s pitiful expression. “There is more, actually.”
“I knew it! Come, show me! Please, please!” Selena gave Joaquin an even more pitiful look.
“But I can only give you one every day.” Joaquin was an impartial boy, so he wouldn’t break the rules. Before Daddy left, he said one card per day, and only one.
“Oh? There’s one every day?” Selena was elated. Pierre honestly put in the effort this time.
Joaquin nodded. “Only one card per day. I can only give you tomorrow’s card tomorrow.”
“All right! Go to sleep then!” Selena hugged Joaquin and showered him with kisses. Joaquin thought his face was going to warp from all the smooching. He had reason to believe that the kisses were directed at his daddy instead of him.
He gave Selena a look before returning to his room.
Selena’s mood received an instant lift. Pierre’s cards were like a daily emotional boost to her.
Pierre made an interesting choice too, for he waited until the tenth day to start giving her the cards. It was actually pretty accurate, for Selena only started to feel sentimental on the tenth day.
Since then, Selena had found a new ray of hope for each day. Every day before going to bed, Joaquin would act as a messenger and dutifully deliver a small card to Selena.
