Chapter 245


    Chapter 245


    His birthday is some time after Christmas. I have to finish the sweater before that.


    Silence fell for a moment. And then he said, "I don''t celebrate my birthdays."


    That caught Patricia by surprise. He doesn''t celebrate his birthdays? Shouldn''t his parties be asvish


    as possible? But he didn''t sound happy when he brought his birthday up. "I''ll finish it before Christmas,"


    she promised.


    He grunted.


    Oh, Darcie''se back out. She said quickly, "I have to go now. Don''t forget to have dinner." She hung


    up and approached Darcie. "I''ll go to the hospital for you if you don''t feel well." She knew the doctors


    well as she had gone to the hospital a lot over thest two years.


    Darcie looked sickly. Even her lips were white. "It''s alright. I wanna see Poppy."


    Worried, Patricia took her to the hospital. There were twodies taking care of Poppy. They said Percy


    had hired them.


    Darcie said nothing. He''s trying to make up for his departure. Either way, it made Darcie''s life easier.


    One of the servants was feeding Poppy. When Poppy saw Patricia, she smiled. "Where''s Sylvie, Miss


    Patricia? I miss her and the boys."


    Patricia sat down on the edge of the bed and took the te over from the servant to feed Poppy


    herself. "I''m busytely, so I didn''t bring them along. Next time."


    Her kids'' holiday would start this week. Today was theirst day in school for a while, but she never


    talked about school whenever Poppy was around.


    She has been out of school for two years. I bet she really wants to attend a school like the other kids.


    Patricia was worried that the mention of school would sadden her. Poppy was frail and thinner than she


    wasst time. Patricia''s heart went out to her.


    "Mommy said I''m going to undergo the surgery next week, and then I can go around like the other kids.


    I can go to school with Sylvie." Poppy''s eyes shone when she talked about that. Her happiness was


    almost palpable.


    Patricia teared up. If Percy saw this, he might never have run away.


    …


    Three dayster, Patricia and Isaac came back from a work survey. The moment they came back to the


    office, they saw Rose on the couch waving at them. "Hi, Patricia. Wanna grab lunch together?"


    Patricia looked at Isaac and forced a smile. "Sure."


    Isaac took his coat off. Patricia took it and hung it on the hanger.


    Rose was now sitting before Isaac, who was buried in work. She rested her chin on her hand and


    stared fixedly at him. "We''re getting lunch together, Isaac. Come with us." She came just to see Isaac.


    It''s been six months. He got hotter.


    Isaac noticed her staring at him, so he shot back with an icy look. "You graduated college?"


    Rose nodded. "Earlier than I nned, so I have nothing to do butze at home. Do you need more


    secretaries? I can work for you."


    She would work for him if it meant seeing him every day. When she saw Patricia''s desk earlier, only


    god knew how jealous she felt.


    Patricia took her seat. She felt a little uneasy seeing Rose staring at Isaac like she wanted to gobble


    him up, so she got up from her seat and approached her. "Ms. Ortega, why don''t you wait for me at the


    restaurant? I''lle over at lunchtime." There''s like an hour before lunchtime.


    Rose''s attention was still on Isaac''s beautiful face. A smile curled her lips. "It''s alright. I can wait right


    here with you." Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
