I was pressed against the wall. In front of me was a handsome face of Penn. He squinted dangerously and approached me.
When we were about to kiss, I suddenly woke up and broke out in a cold sweat.
Because of that dream, I almost didn't sleep all night.
The second morning, with eyebags, I sat at the table and had breakfast with the two kids.
"Mommy, didn't you sleep well last night?" Aviva asked in a sweet voice.
I was a little stunned, and then I thought of the dream again. After a few seconds, I smiled as if nothing had happened. "Well, I accidentally read the files too late yesterday."
The two kids have always been sensitive. I was afraid that they would ask me more. After saying that, I pretended to eat and lowered my head.
The two kids didn't ask any more questions. They just said, "Mommy, don't be too tired. Take good care of yourself!"
I nodded with a smile.
After breakfast, I'll take the two kids to Daphne to get the car.
"Pick whatever you like. " Daphne took us to the garage, with a bunch of car keys in her hand.
The two kids were young, but they knew a lot of famous cars. When they saw the cars in the garage, they clapped their hands and said, "godmother, you are so generous!"
I went inside and found a Mercedes Benz worth about one million at a medium price.
Daphne gave me the key without hesitation.
I'll drive the two kids to school after I get the car.
"Bye, Mommy! Don't be too tired!"
After getting off the car, the two kids said goodbye obediently.
I touched their heads and said, "you too. Be good at school. Mommy will pick you up tonight."
The two kids nodded and entered the school side by side.
Seeing their backs disappear from my sight, I turned around and got in the car. Then I started the car and slowly left the school gate.
Penn's pov
The car stopped at the gate of the kindergarten.
I sat in the back seat and watched Bill get out of the car. He opened the back door and carefully carried Lundy out of the car.
Lundy stood on the ground, turned around and waved at me.
" go inside." I touched his head and said gently.
Lundy nodded and walked into the kindergarten.
Looking at Lundy's back, I felt a little suspicious.
Lundy looked much happier than usual today.
Perhaps it was because he had spent more time with other kis in the kindergarten that he was more relax.
It seemed that what the psychologist said was right. If the little boy had more contact with his pals, his autism would be slowly relieved.
Seeing that Lundy was picked up by the teacher, I withdrew my sight and said to Bill, "let's go."
When I arrived at the company, I attended the high-level meeting immediately.
More than an hour had passed when the meeting was over.
I went straight back to my office.
"Penn, you're back."
As soon as I entered, I heard Bonnie's voice.
Hearing this, I frowned slightly.
Bonnie in a black suit standing in front of my desk with a smile. It seemed that she had been waiting for a while.
"When did you come here?"
I strode to the desk and glanced at the documents on it. Finally, my eyes fell on Bonnie's face.
Bonnie also sat down and smiled gently. "I just arrived. I heard from Bill that you were in a meeting."
Then she looked at the corner of my mouth and asked, "is your mouth... Hurt?"
When I thought of what happened yesterday, there was a touch of displeasure in my eyes, and my tone was cold. "It's just that I accidentally bit it. There's no need to make a fuss."
"What's the matter?" I asked coldly.
Bonnie smiled and said, "yes, I do have some business to deal with. The project we cooperated before is about to be signed, so I come to confirm with you if there are any other conditions. Besides, my parents want to invite you to dinner tonight. Uncle and aunt are also here. I wonder if you have time."
I glanced at her, frowned slightly, and said in a very cold tone, "please tell Uncle and aunt that I have a social engagement tonight, and I don't have time to attend the banquet."
She looked at me with an aggrieved face and said, "Penn, I've been waiting for you for six years. How can a woman have so many six years? Of course I'm willing to wait for you. But if we are destined to be together, why are you still unwilling to get married? At the very beginning, you should let the elders at home rest assured, right? We have planned the marriage from the beginning, why..."
"I did promise to give you an engagement."
I interrupted her question coldly, "but you should be very clear about where this promise comes from. In my opinion, the Carter family has made enough compensation to the Hunter family in all aspects over the years, and even far exceeded the value of this engagement. No one will say anything about this engagement, even if we don't fufill it."
After saying that, I ignored Bonnie's reaction.
At that time, the reason why I decided to marry Bonnie was to repay her grandfather for saving my life.
Because of this, I have a close relationship with the Hunter family. Therefore, when the elders proposed to let me marry my Bonnie, I accepted it noncommittally.
I even felt that Bonnie was the goddess in my heart.
It was not until six years ago that I realized that my love for Bonnie was not the love I imagined.
After that, the elders of the two families urged me many times to complete the marriage as soon as possible, but I found an excuse to put it off.
In the past six years, I have tried my best to provide convenience to the Hunter family and agreed to all their business requests, just to repay the favor of saving my life in the past.
Now, in my opinion, the debt of gratitude is enough.
At least, there was no need to fulfill this marriage.
"Penn……"
I pressed between my eyebrows and interrupted her calmly, "put down the documents. I'll read them later. I have work to do. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."
Aimee's POV
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
I will go to the place appointed with the material supplier with Dexter from the Research Institute.
On the way, it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't had the chance to know the situation of the cooperative partner yet, so I asked Dexter, "what's the specific situation of the supplier we signed?"
As the director of the Research Institute, if I know nothing about the suppliers, they may think that our attitude is not good enough when we sign the contract later, which will inevitably affect the cooperation.
Dexter introduced the materials to me in detail, "this supplier is very large-scale in the River City. The family runs the production of incense materials. On the other hand, the price of this supplier is relatively fair. In addition, our research institute has a great influence overseas. They know that they want to make friends with us, and their attitude is also good. You can rest assured."
Hearing this, I nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "I know several big suppliers of River City. According to you, the one who signed the contract with us today should be one of them. Which one is it?"
Dexter said, "the Hunter family."
I was stunned.
The Hunter family?
As far as I know, there is only one medical business in the River City whose surname is Hunter.
And I happened to have a grudge against.
Thinking of this, I frowned slightly. I just hope that I won't be so unlucky to meet the person I don't want to see the most.
After a while, we arrived at the coffee shop.
The suppliers hadn't arrived yet.
Dexter and I sat down first and ordered two cups of coffee, waiting for the other party.
About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door.
"Here you are."
Dexter cheered up and said to me.
I nodded, stood up and said, "come in, please."
After a while, the door was pushed open and a man's voice came in. "Sorry, we are late."
I raised my eyes and looked forward. As a result, I met Bonnie.
Bonnie widened his eyes in astonishment. His voice was a little shrill because of excitement. "You... Aimee? Why are you here?"
