Chapter 28 Little Adult and Big Baby


    Benjamin took a closer look at the name card in his hand for a while before moving his thin lips,


    "Matthew Crawford, from Crawford Group?"


    His hand, which was about to close theptop, moved to the right, and then his little hands started to


    type swiftly. Before long, the information of Crawford Group and Matthew Crawford appeared on the


    Benjamin nced over the contents on theptop screen, looking serious. It seemed that this was the


    ce where his mom was going to work. This was a nicepany though, hardly any skeleton in the


    closet. Besides, thispany’s main business was fashion design, whose demand matched mom’s


    major.


    Benjamin nodded with satisfaction. He didn’t even notice that Patricia was approaching him slowly from


    behind.


    "Howe I failed to get such detailed information on Crawford Group and Matthew Crawford on the


    search engine?" Patricia tilted her head, her gaze fixing on theptop screen.


    Benjamin was stunned, and then he turned off theptop at once.


    Seeing that theptop screen went ck, Patricia couldn’t help but feel stunned. "Why did you turn it


    off? I haven’t finished reading yet."


    "Mom, I’ve checked it for you. That’s a greatpany. You may go and have a try."


    Patricia lowered her head slightly. "Crawford Group has a good reputation in Midfort all the years."


    She started tough as she spoke, then shook her head and said, "Why am I talking about it with a


    baby like you?"


    Patricia held Benjamin up and walked straight into the room. "We have to go to bed early tonight. You


    need to go to school tomorrow, while I need to go to work."


    Everyone was sleeping at midnight.


    A figure was tossing and turning on bed in a luxurious room, finding it hard to fall asleep. Lydia sat up


    on the bed, a lit cigarette between her fingers. Smoke rings were blown out, making her eyes hazy.


    The scenes that she had seen today were ying automatically in her mind, keeping her awake. When


    Lydia closed her eyes, all she had in mind was Patricia and Benjamin’s figures!


    In her dream, Patricia kicked her away and got together with Archibald. The family of four was living


    happily together. Their smile stung her eyes, making her sleepless.


    Lydia picked up her phone and made a call.


    A sleepy female voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello? Is that Lydia? It’s sote. Why are


    you still awake? Something happened?"


    Lydia squinted her eyes, looking sinister, but her voice sounded wronged and worried.


    "Mom! Patricia is back! She is back!"


    The sleepy voice on the other end of the line cried out, and then none drowsiness could be heard.


    "What?! Patricia is back?! How can it be? She’s been away for just three years! Lydia, are you


    mistaken?"


    Lydia pursed her lips uncontrobly. "Mom! It’s real! I saw her today with my own eyes. At first, I didn’t


    believe it either, but it was real. Patricia is back for real!"


    Miranda paused and then let out a sigh slowly. "Now that she’s back, she may not leave so easily,


    right?"


    Lydia couldn’t help but grit her teeth, looking indignant. "But mom, Lydia shouldn’t appear in Midfort! If


    she was discovered by Archibald in Midfort, we Coleman family would be doomed! Three years ago,


    Archibald investigated Patricia. If it weren’t for the fact that Patricia had already left at that time, we


    would have been exposed then!"


    Miranda heard Lydia’s words, and her heart almost jumped to her throat immediately. "Lydia, how about


    the rtionship between Archibald and you? Haven’t you slept together?"


    Lydia looked back at the huge and empty room behind her, a cold smile hanging on her face. "Mom,


    Archibald and I haven’t slept together yet. We sleep in separate rooms. How can I have his baby?"

    "Lydia, don’t rush. Take it easy. You’re Archibald’s wife, undoubtedly. Sooner orter, you’ll get


    pregnant!" Mirandaforted Lydia.


    Lydia threw the cigarette in her hand to the ground and stepped on it. Then she ground it, as if the


    cigarette was Patricia.


    "Mom, I know that! But now Patricia is back, and I’m not even sure whether I’ll be Archibald’s wife in the


    future! Although I don’t want to rush, my fate is intertwined with the Coleman family. Mom, do you get


    it?"


    After a moment of silence, Miranda dropped her head slightly. "Lydia, don’t worry. As to Patricia, I’ll sort


    it out. If the worstes, let’s make her leave again!"


    Lydia heard Miranda’s words, and her restless heart sank back to her stomach.


    "Mom, for the sake of me, for the sake of the Coleman family, don’t ever, ever soften…"


    "Don’t worry, Lydia. I know that…"


    Lydia hung up and heaved a long sigh. As long as Patricia was away for another few years, she would


    definitely have Archibald’s baby!


    Three years had passed, and Archibald had never touched her. Lydia didn’t believe that she couldn’t


    warm that cold-hearted Archibald, with the power of time!


    Next morning, the moment the rm clock went off, Patricia sat up instantly.


    "Benjamin, Benjamin! Hurry up! Get up. It’s time to go to school!"


    Patricia shook Benjamin beside her immediately, but it was empty next to her and Benjamin was


    nowhere to be seen.


    When she got out of the room, Patricia was attracted by some tantalizing smell. Then she saw the


    warm milk and toast on the table.


    Meanwhile, Benjamin passed the cup of water and a toothbrush with toothpaste to Patricia. "Mom,


    wash up now."


    When she finished washing herself up, Patricia was still in a daze. Was she being taken care of by her


    own son? Why did Patricia feel that she was like a baby who needed a lot of care while Benjamin was


    like a little adult?


    Benjamin spread the strawberry jam on a piece of toast and then put it in Patricia’s hand. The next


    second, he carried a little stool and put it behind Patricia.


    Benjamin stepped on the little stool with a woodenb in his hand.


    "Mom, if you continue sitting here in a trance, both of us may bete."


    Patricia was stunned, and then she started to gulp the toast.


    Benjamin smiled, as the woodenb in his hand was sliding down Patricia’s smooth hair.


    When he finishedbing Patricia’s hair, Benjamin took up the hair band aside and ited her hair


    into ady hairstyle.


    Benjamin jumped off the stool, ran to Patricia’s front, and then nodded with satisfaction. "Hmm, it looks


    good."


    This morning, Benjamin had deliberately searched some hairstyle photos on the inte. Although it


    was the first time he had ever done this, Benjamin was even better than professionals!
