Chapter 129 Chapter 129: Are You Sure?
“No, you’ll stay here and live with me from now on. Uncle James is busy with his work. We’ve given him too much trouble. But don’t worry. If you can’t get used to living here, I’ll work hard and take you back to Ameris.”
Hearing this, Yohan nodded and snuggled up to her, saying, “As long as I can be with you, I can get used to living anywhere. Mom, you won’t leave me anymore, will you?”
Estelle wanted to say something but then hesitated and bit her tongue, not knowing how to answer Yohan.
“Mom?”
“I’m here.”
“Did Dad come with you?”
“Well, your dad is... very busy,” Estelle said awkwardly and then changed the topic. “Yohan, I’ll spend more time with you and your sister. Look, this is your sister. Her name is Yvonne.” As she spoke, she motioned him to look at the baby in her arms.
Yohan had paid all his attention to Estelle just now, and it was not until then that he noticed Yvonne.
He leaned over carefully and gazed at Yvonne with his eyes full of happiness. “Uncle James told me before that I have a sister. Mom, Yvonne is so cute! She is smiling at me!” he said, smiling at Yvonne.
Both the two children had sweet personalities that they inherited from Estelle.
Seeing their cute faces, Estelle sighed with emotion and felt warm in her heart.
‘Although God always tests me, he is kind enough to let me have two lovely children.’
“Estelle,” James said and helped her up. “Let’s go inside first.”
“Okay.”
After entering the room, Yohan became more excited. He poured water for Estelle, put a back cushion behind her back, and even said he wanted to feed Yvonne.
Seeing his behavior, James said with a smile, “Yohan is always so sweet and considerate. He will definitely be a good man when he grows up.”
When Yohan was about to fetch something again, Estelle grabbed his arm to stop him and asked him to sit beside her.
“Yohan, sit here and have a rest, okay?” She urged her son.
Yohan nodded, sat down beside her, and said confidently, “Mom, don’t worry. Although Dad is not with us, I can protect you and my sister.”
Hearing his words, Estelle couldn’t help chuckling. Then she gently caressed his hair and said, “I see. You are our little hero.”
“Mom, may I hug Yvonne?” Yohan asked expectantly.
Thinking that he was still young and might not know how to hold a baby, she took him to the bedroom and put Yvonne on the bed.
After that, she motioned him to come over and said, “Yohan, you can hold her now.”
Yohan nodded repeatedly with his eyes shining with happiness and then immediately took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed.
Lying beside Yvonne and cupping his face in his hands, he looked affectionately at Yvonne and said, “She looks so small.”
“Yes, she is just one month old.”
“Mom, was I as small as her when I was one month old?” Yohan asked curiously.
Estelle licked her lips and said with an embarrassed look, “When you were one month old, I wasn’t in Ameris, so I don’t know what you looked like at that time. But the one-month-old babies should be all this big. You are a boy and might be a little bigger.”
Yohan nodded thoughtfully, “I know that you were not in Ameris then. Uncle James told me that after I was born, you came back here because you had something important to explain to Dad.”
“Yes,” Estelle nodded as she ran her fingers to Yohan’s smooth hair.
“Have you reconciled with Dad now?” Yohan asked, blinking his big eyes.
“Well, the relationship between your Dad and I is a little complicated. But it doesn’t matter. Whether we are reconciled or not, you will have a chance to see him,” Estelle said with a gentle smile.
Yohan nodded. “Mom, is Dad also a good person?”
“Yes,” Estelle answered and forced a smile.
“Hey, hey. I knew it,” Yohan chuckled and said. “You are a good person. And the person you love must also be nice.”
“Yes.”
In the corridor, Cristofer was stunned when hearing their conversation.
‘Am I a good person?’ he thought and smiled bitterly.
If it was six years ago, he could say without hesitation that he was a good person and no others treated Estelle better than he did in this world.
But now, thinking about what he had done to Estelle, he had a guilty conscience and thought that he was a cold-hearted man.
Just now, Cristofer was worried that James would do something to Estelle, so he followed them secretly and stood in the corridor. The bedroom had a window which was next to the corridor, and he happened to hear such a heartwarming conversation.
Cristofer knew that Estelle hated him very much. And he didn’t expect that in front of their child, she didn’t speak ill of him but helped him maintain his image of a good father.
Leaning against the wall, he felt heartache as if a big palm had crushed his heart.
“Mom, will Dad come to see me and Yvonne?”
“I don’t know, but... I think he will. You seem to want to see him very much.”
“Not so much. I know Dad is very busy. I can’t disturb him. Let’s go to see him after he finishes his work, shall we?”
“Okay.”
Yohan didn’t sleep last night due to nervousness and soon fell asleep. Yvonne also fell asleep after Estelle fed her.
Seeing the two little guys sleep soundly together, Estelle couldn’t help smiling. Then she walked out of the bedroom and gently closed the door.
At this time, James was talking on the phone on the balcony.
He seemed to have something difficult to deal with, and his face darkened.
After he hung up the phone and came back to the living room, Estelle asked, “Is there any problem at your work?”
“I’m sorry, Estelle. I have to go back to Ameris today. Something urgent has come up, and my client asked me to go back now,” James said apologetically.
Hearing this, Estelle nodded and said, “It’s okay. Go back as soon as possible. Don’t delay your work.”
“Then what about you and the children?”
“Don’t worry. I can take care of them.”
“Are you sure?” James asked worriedly.
“Yes. The very important friend that I just mentioned will help me. I can handle everything as long as he is with me.”
