Chapter 2
“Mom!” Little Willie rushed into her arms and handed her the flowers in his hands. “What were you talking about with the delivery
man. Uncle?
After Camila glanced at the deliveryman who disappeared at the door, she murmured, “It’s nothing.”
Richard also followed, planting a gentle kiss on her cheek and then handing her the flowers, with a hint of apology in his words.
“Sorry, Camila, I was a bit late coming back today because something came up. Please don’t be mad at me, okay?”
What could happen? Isn’t it just taking my son to the seaside villa to accompany Nataly?
Well, this father and son have two homes, so of course they couldn’t keep up with everything
She chuckled self–deprecatingly, lowered her gaze to the flowers in her hand for a while, and then said lightly, “Work is important, T have nothing to be angry about, so go ahead.”
As soon as they entered the door, the father and son were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The entire villa became empty and devoid, and the few things left seemed to be all the ones Richard and Willie had given her.
Richard’s handsome face suddenly flashed a trace of panic, “Camila, how come we can’t find the things we gave you?”
Willie, who was beside him, was also startled and tugged at her clothes, “Yeah, Mom, did you lose everything?”
I just had the delivery person send them away, giving them to
Camila let go of the child’s hand and sat on the sofa, saying lightly, “No, I the people who needed them.”
Since she had a child, her heart has become softer and she would donate some things from her home to the orphanage every year.
Upon hearing this, Richard didn’t think much of it and simply assumed that she had donated something to the orphanage again. He breathed a sigh of relief and brought his son over to sit on both sides of her, datingly looking at her. “It’s good to send it away, I have a perfect reason to buy you a new one.”
Willie also jumped into her arms with a childish voice and said, “Mom, you are really good, you are the kindest mother in the world!”
Kindness?
Maybe, after all, she had been kind enough to let her husband and children go
When the hour hand of the wall clock pointed to six o’clock, Richard walked out of the kitchen with the last dish he had prepared and placed it on the dining table.
Although there were many servants in the house, Richard always personally took care of everything for her, including cooking Willie pulled Camila’s hand and walked to the side of the dining table, pulled out a chair for her, and served the food and vegetables Richard also sat down on the other side and picked up some food with her. “Camila, eat more of this. It’s good for your stomach. Willie also nodded, “Yeah, Mom, eat more of this. Your body needs it to be healthy. Let me tell you, we had a kid in kindergarten wha was a picky eater.”
The child also opened up and started talking about the interesting things that happened in kindergarten.
But Camila only felt that the food in her bowl was tasteless. She looked up at Richard across from her, who was attentively listening to their son’s interesting stories and occasionally adding a few words.
She suddenly felt a bit ironic.
These scenes, these stories, must have already been presented in front of Nataly before they returned.
Is it necessary to replay it with myself again?
Late at night, only a small night light was lit in the bedroom.
Three people snuggled tightly in bed, Richard embraced Camila in his arms, and Willie also followed his father’s lead by holding onto
her arm.
Both the father and the son insisted on sleeping with her.
“Dad, how old are you? Why are you still sleeping with Mom?” Richard said, pretending to be an adult.
“How come Camila, who is my wife, can’t sleep with me, but you, who are already four years old, still want to sleep with mom?
The father and son were at a stalemate and wanted to seek Camila’s opinion, but they found out that she had already fallen asleep at
some point.
Just then, Richard’s phone, which he had set aside, suddenly vibrated and a video call popped up
After seeing Nataly’s name, his face stiffened. He turned and looked at Camila, who had no reaction. Then he picked up his phone and left the room. At the same time, Willie, who also saw it, slid off the bed and followed him out.
Just one door away, Richard turned the volume down to the minimum before pressing the answer button.
The next second, Nataly’s voice came from over there.
“Richard, Willie, what should we do? I started missing you guys just a while after you left. It’s so lonely living alone in this big mansion. Can you come over and keep me company?”
Richard glanced at the door behind him and patiently coaxed the little woman on the other end of the phone.
“Don’t make a fuss, it’s too late today. We’ll accompany you tomorrow.”
How could Nataly be willing? Her eyes welled up with tears. “I know that Mrs. Middleton will always be the most important person ins your hearts, and I have never asked for mach. I just hope that you can occasionally spend some time with me and give me a tenth of your love. Is that too much to ask?
Willie, who was standing beside, quickly tugged on his father’s sleeve upon hearing, Nataly’s choked voice.
“Dad, go, go! I want to see Nataly, go, Dad!”
“Is it okay, Dad__”
Under the continuous teasing from the two of them, Richard’s heart also began to hesitate.
After a while, he bent down and raised his hand to make a “shh” gesture,
“Then we went secretly, without waking up your n
mother.”
Just a door away, Camila opened her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks and onto the pillow. But she didn’t wipe then away or mal
a sound, she just silently listened as the footsteps of the two people grew further and further away.
