Chapter 35
The tree planting site selected by the kindergarten is a botanical garden in the suburbs. It is located on the hillside, surrounded by lush trees, and looks very lively.
It is only in a remote place and there is only one hotel nearby.
Joyce hurried to see Penn next to me and said, “Mr. Carter, the hotel room is also full. You may be wronged to share a room with other parents.”
Penn frowned and nodded.
Joyce called the parents together and asked them who could squeeze a room with Penn. Many people who wanted to flatter Penn crowded in with their children, pushing us to the periphery in an instant.
Lundy broke away from Penn’s hand and ran out, bumped into my arms and looked up at me.
“What’s wrong with Lundy?” I couldn’t help feeling worried when I saw the little guy’s face.
He grabbed my skirt, his eyes were full of persistence, “live with aunt!”
Hearing this, I was shocked.
If only Lundy, I would not refuse.
But if I accept that Lundy lives with us, it means that Penn will also live under the same roof with me.
I really don’t know how to face such a scene.
Soon, Penn also came over, nodded slightly to the crowd, and said in a deep voice, “I don’t know if Miss Miller is convenient to take me and Lundy?”
Hearing the man’s voice, I looked up in amazement.
I think Penn should have the same idea as me
I didn’t expect that this man would take the initiative to make this request to me.
For a while, I couldn’t answer.
Lundy seemed to see that I didn’t want to accept them. His eyes slowly turned red and he bowed his head in grievance. I didn’t know what to do for a moment.
At this time, the parents who had just been rejected by Penn followed Penn and criticized me in succession.
“Lundy likes you so much, does Miss Miller have the heart to make children so sad?”
“If Miss Miller doesn’t want to, please tell us, we welcome Mr. Carter and Lundy!”
One after another, someone said that I was not.
My face is a little ugly.
Penn looked at me and said, “Lundy’s situation is quite special. He can’t accept living with strangers. It’s rare that he likes Miss Miller so much. Please take us in for the sake of children.”
Lundy has been so normal in front of me during this period that I almost forgot the little guy’s illness.
Now Penn mentioned it and thought of Lundy’s apparent shock just now. I just felt a heartache.
Joyce also followed me and looked at me in embarrassment, “Miss Miller, it’s really troublesome for you. if you can, I’ll assign that big double bed room to you, which is more convenient.”
I looked at the little guy’s pitiful appearance and sighed in my heart, “Thank you then.”
We arranged the accommodation. It was evening. Joyce took us parents to the restaurant prepared by the botanical garden.
I took two little guys to fight for dinner.
There are many staff of the botanical garden in the restaurant, far more than when I got off the just now. Lundy doesn’t like it very much and follows me step by step along the way.
I noticed the sight of the little guy, looked back, and saw the timid face of the little guy again I simply let Aviva and Cyrus hold hands, and I take a hand to hold the little guy.
Lundy stretched out his hand and took my hand. His eyebrows were with laughter, and the timidity on his face disappeared.
During the meal, I have to take the share of four people, which is not easy to take.
Just thinking of putting it back and coming back to line up, a big hand came from behind.
“Let me do it,” Penn said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment. I looked at the little guys and thought that they must be hungry too, so I didn’t refuse. I handed Penn the plate and continued to got the food. Finally, I got Penn’s share together.
Lundy sat next to me at dinner.
I took three little guys to a table, and Penn was sitting next to Lundy. Everyone ate dinner in silence.
Aimee’s pov
After dinner, I wanted to go back directly, but after coming out of the restaurant, the three little guys saw the scenery outside, and they were unable to walk.
I looked up.
Because it is on the mountain, the installation of the botanical garden is much simpler than that in the city, and there is not much lighting equipment.
There is only a full moon hanging in the sky. The moonlight shines on us through the trees, which is very soft. The plants in the botanical garden also look very beautiful.
Many parents are taking the kids for a walk in the garden.
“Mommy, let’s go shopping too!” Cyrus tugged my hand.
It’s rare to have such a leisurely time, coupled with the beautiful scenery, I also want to go shopping, so I turned back to Penn and said, “I will take the children to go shopping, Mr. Carter will take Lundy back first.”
With that, he released Lundy’s hand and asked him to find Penn.
Lundy held my hand.
However, I had to take the little guy with me.
After strolling to a sparsely populated place, Cyrus looked at the tall trees around him and proposed, “Mommy, let’s play hide-and-seek!”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
I smiled and agreed, “OK, but don’t go too far. It’s not safe.”
The little guy agreed.
I wanted to take Lundy with me to find them, but the little guy was also eager to try.
I told the two little guys to take care of Lundy, so they closed their eyes and let them hide.
“Are you ready? I’m going to start looking!” After counting enough seconds, I raised my voice and asked.
As soon as the voice fell, Lundy’s voice came from behind a tree, “OK!”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help laughing.
Although Lundy’s voice revealed the direction of the boys’ hiding, he still pretended not to know and pretended to be looking for people everywhere.
“Is this… Miss Miller?” A female voice rang in my ear.
I looked up and saw a tall woman in front of me, holding a little girl in her hand, smiling at me.
When I realized that this man was not coming well, I was alert and looked at the person in front of me calmly, “Is it me, are you?”
She gave me a disdainful glance and said, “It doesn’t matter who I am. I just want to remind Miss Miller of one thing. I hope Miss Miller can keep it in mind.”
Hearing the words, my eyebrows frowned.
“Lundy is Mr. Carter’s apple of eye. It’s your honor to make friends with your two children and be close to you..”
Speaking of this, the woman said coldly, “However, Miss Miller had better be self-respecting. Don’t think that if Mr. Carter comes close to you, you will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. You know, Mr. Carter is just because of a child. It has nothing to do with you. ”
Hearing this woman’s words, I couldn’t help feeling a headache.
I knew that if I met Penn here, I would inevitably be criticized, but I didn’t expect so soon.
“I think you may have misunderstood something…” I said calmly.
The other side interrupted me with disdain, “Misunderstanding? How close you are to Mr. Carter today, we all see. Miss Miller had better recognize your position. You know, Mr. Carter’s fiancee is Miss Hunter. Miss Miller should not humiliate yourself!”
I lowered my eyes slightly. I replied lightly, “Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention to it.”
” How can you be worthy of Mr. Carter in your identity?”
“Auntie, don’t bully aunty!” Lundy rushed out from behind the tree, holding my leg, like a kitten, staring at the woman with fierce milk.
The woman was stunned at the sudden appearance of the little guy. Then she quickly put on a smiling face, squatted down, and reached out to touch Lundy’s head. “Isn’t this the young master of the Carter family? He is so cute.”
Lundy waved her hand away and looked at her warily.
The smile on the woman’s face stiffened, but she still wanted to ingratiate herself with the little guy. “Don’t be afraid, young master. Aunt has no malice, just because you are cute.”
With that, he extended his hand to Lundy again.
Lundy was a little flustered, hugged my thigh and hid behind me.
I stopped between the little guy and the woman. “Children are afraid of strangers. If this young lady really likes Lundy, she’d better keep some distance from him.”
The woman stood up with a wry face and said, “I have some friendship with Miss Hunter. Later, Lundy will be Miss Hunter’s son. What’s the relationship between me and Lundy?”
