Chapter 216
The memory of Calvin tying her shoelaces the day before flashed in her mind. So… Was Jonathan jealous?
Was Jonathan actually jealous? Rosalie had never thought about it before. However, the mere thought of it did bring a tinge of sweetness to her heart.
The sun?
Amelia looked at the sky outside the window. It was cloudy today, and the sun was covered by the clouds.
“By the way, Aiden will be undergoing surgery soon. My mother and I will be at the hospital for a few days to take care of him, so I’ll be taking a few days off from the diner. But don’t worry, I’ll still pay you your wages. I will send you a message about your schedule.” said Amelia.
“Okay,” Rosalie replied. “Let me know when Aiden’s surgery is finished. I also want to hear the good news if the surgery goes well.”
“Okay,” Amelia said with a smile. Although closing the diner for a few days would affect business, her son’s hearing was the most important thing for her now.
After Aiden’s cochlear implant was installed, there would be many other things to deal with too. For example, they had to think about translating the sounds he heard into language, ensuring not just comprehension but also enabling him to speak.
However, she was ready to face those difficulties.
No matter how tough the journey, she was determined to ensure that Aiden, as much as possible, would be able to hear and speak like
any
normal child. This would ensure a less challenging life for him in the future.
In the afternoon, when the diner had fewer customers, Amelia went to the room behind the diner, where she saw Aiden had fallen asleep in Matilda’s arms.
Matilda was cautiously putting Aiden on the bed.
“Why did you come in?” Matilda asked.
“I want to see Aiden while I’m free,” Amelia said.
“You, watching him all day isn’t enough? Tomorrow, with Aiden getting admitted to the hospital, you’ll practically be watching over him the whole day. That should be enough.” Matilda smiled. Obviously, she was also looking forward to her grandson’s surgery the next day.
With affectionate eyes, Amelia gazed at her son. “I was the one who let him down. If I hadn’t mistakenly taken that medication back then, perhaps he wouldn’t have been deaf.”
“How can you blame yourself? It was all because of that wicked woman!” Matilda exclaimed with palpable anger.
“I was naive and couldn’t discern people’s motives,” Amelia said sadly. “Aiden… He was destined to be an amazing boy, but he is like this now all because of having me as his mother.”
Matilda looked at his daughter with sympathy, “What nonsense are you spouting? For Aiden to have you as a mother is his blessing. Now, let’s not dwell on these disheartening thoughts. Tomorrow is the day of Aiden’s surgery. After it’s done, there’s a lot we’ll have to do!”
“Okay, no more disheartening talk!” Amelia lowered her head again and kissed his son’s tender face before returning to the diner at the front.
However, when she went back to the diner, she was taken aback when she saw an unexpected person sitting there.
Calvin… He came to the diner again!

However, when she went back to the diner, she was taken aback when she saw an unexpected person sitting there.
Calvin… He came to the diner again!
Amelia never thought that Calvin would appear in her diner again.
And this time, why was he here again?
Subconsciously, Amelia thought of the video she saw yesterday. She thought of Calvin’s attitude toward Rosalie, and the way he was looking at Rosalie….
So, did Calvin come here because of Rosalie?
As these thoughts raced through Amelia’s mind, Calvin’s subsequent question confirmed her suspicions.
“Where is Rosalie? Is she not in the diner?” Calvin asked.
“Rosalie… She’s out making a delivery. She’ll be back in a while,” Amelia replied.
Calvin didn’t ask anything more. He just ordered a cup of coffee in the diner, sat on the chair, and started drinking it slowly.
Calvin’s prominence was unquestionable as the eyes naturally gravitated towards him. It was not bustling in the diner, and not many people recognized this gentleman as the scion of the entertainment industry.
Yet, his demeanor, appearance, and palpable sense of aloofness unexpectedly drew many glances
Several customers couldn’t help but repeatedly glance at him.
Amelia herself was also struck by the sight. With Calvin sipping the diner’s coffee while sitting elegantly, the scene looked like an advertisement playing in front of her.
Even she herself felt that the coffee seemed even more premium with him drinking it.
Amelia was silently pondering when Rosalie would be back when she noticed a luxury car parked in the parking space in front of her diner again.
