Chapter 254 Going Home Together (Part One)
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Outside the CEO''s office of GM Universing Studios, Mary took a deep breath before gently knocking
on the door.
"Come in," Barry said while he was reading the files on his table.
"Mr. Gu." Mary entered the office and stepped forward.
Hearing her voice, Barry immediately stopped reading. "It''s you!" he said, without even raising his
head.
"Yes, Mr. Gu. It''s me." Mary nodded.
"What''s the matter?"
"Well," Mary bit her lips and answered, "I want to ask for a few days off."
Barry looked up at her and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to go back to my hometown," answered Mary. "I want to ask my father about Aisha and me.
Besides, the anniversary of my mother''s death ising, so I want to worship her on the way."
"Okay. I understand." With no expression on his usually gentle face, Barry nodded. "How many
days will you stay there?"
"Five days."
"Will Alick and Elissa go with you?"
"No, I don''t think so. It''s a long journey. We might not be able to take care of them well," Mary
exined. "I''m going to send them to—"
"Let me take care of them," Barry said suddenly before she could even finish her words. "I haven''t
seen them for a long time. I want to take care of them for a few days."
"Really? Are you sure?" Mary was a little stunned by his sudden offer.
"What''s wrong?" Barry raised his head and asked, "Can''t I miss them? Are you worried that I can''t
take good care of them? Or they don''t miss me? Do you want them to stay away from me forever?"
"No. Of course not." Mary waved her hand quickly and said, "The two kids miss you very much.
They must be very happy that you can take care of them, but... won''t it affect your work?"
"I was much busier with my job a few years ago but I was able to take care of them. I think I can
manage this time," Barry replied with a hint of exasperation in his voice. "I''m..." Noticing his
expressions, Mary frowned uneasily. "I''m sorry!"
"Don''t involve the children in the adults'' business. I will always be their Daddy Barry, Mary. There''s
no need for you to apologize. They are also my children and I am partly responsible for them."
"Thanks, Barry." Mary noddedcently and continued, "I''ll leaveter this afternoon. As for
your work, you can ask Cooper for help. Don''t do it all by yourself. Don''t be so hard-working. Rest if
you must."
"Yes, I know. Thank you." Barry nodded. In the past four years, he had been ustomed to such
subtle but heart-warming words from Mary. Now, hearing one more word from her was a luxury.
"Then I''m leaving." Mary bade her farewell. "I''ll send the two kids to your vi."
"Alright."
Mary nodded and turned around to leave. After taking two steps towards the door, she abruptly
stopped. She suddenly remembered something so she turned to Barry again. While biting her lips,
she asked, "How''s it going between you and Sh? Is everything fine?"
"Pretty well." When Barry answered, his face turned dark and gloomy. She could not read his
expressions clearly. It was unclear to her because his words did not match his expressions.
Mary did not understand what he meant by "pretty well". Did he mean that he and Sh had
already fallen in love with each other?
"If you really like her, I won''t interfere." Mary took a deep breath and continued, "But don''t be too
willful. She has a child after all. I hope you can figure it out."
With a click, the door of the office was closed again.
Seeing that Mary had left, Barry rubbed his eyebrows and did not do anything else for a while.
In his vi.
It was alreadyte at night when Sh came home. She was so tired it seemed like she was
dragging her body behind her.
Since Barry had made that request to her in the hospitalst time, she moved her stuff here. She
lived here ever since.
She came home almost every night. If not, she would call Barry to report her whereabouts.
However, Barry, the master of the vi, came back less often than she did.
The servants had been used to her existence. Although they were curious as to why Mary had left,
they did not dare ask about it. "Alick,e and chase me!"
As soon as Sh opened the door, she saw a little girl wearing bright pink dress with a ponytail
running towards her while giggling.
"Watch out!" Seeing that the little girl was about to bump into her, Sh quickly bent down and held
the little girl.
"Ah!" Elissa bumped into Sh and cried out in pain.
"Are you okay?" Sh asked worriedly.
"I''m okay." Elissa looked at Sh and asked in a sweet voice, "Who are you?"
Looking at the cute girl,
Shughed and answered, "I live here! What about you?"
"You live here? I came here with my brother to stay with Daddy Barry," answered Elissa in a sweet
tone. "Has Daddy Barrye back?"
"I don''t know. I haven''t seen him." Sh shook her head.
"Elissa!" Alick chased Elissa and stopped in surprise when he saw Sh.
"Oh, I remember you!" Sh patted her forehead and asked, "Your mother is Manager Lu, right?"
"Our mommy''s name is not Manager Lu. Her name is Mary Lu." Alick also came to greet Sh.
''''Hello.''1
"Ha ha!" Sh could not help butugh. She pinched the faces of the two kids lovingly and said,
"Good fellows. Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. We are waiting for Daddy Barry so we can eat together!" Elissa raised her head as she
spoke.
"Will hee back?" Sh asked in a daze.
"Yes. Mommy told us he will."
"But Alick, I''m so hungry. When will Daddy Barrye back?" Elissa wrinkled her nose and asked
her brother while stroking her stomach.
"Are you hungry?" Looking at Elissa, Sh could not hide her maternal affection. She said in a soft
voice, "I... will cook for you. Is that okay?"
"Wow! That''s awesome!" Elissa followed Sh to the kitchen, jumping up and down on the way.
"Handsome boy," Sh said as she turned around and smiled at Alick. "Would you like to join us?"
"Me? Yes!"
Barry had juste home from thepany. As he opened the door, he witnessed such a warm
scene.
Sh, while wearing a cute apron, walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles in her hands.
Elissa followed her from the kitchen while Alick sat on the carpet. Elissa sniffed the bowl of noodles
and eximed, "It smells so good!"
"What smells so good?" Barry stepped into the vi and asked in a low voice.
"Daddy Barry!"
"Daddy Barry!"
When the two kids heard his voice, they rushed over for a hug, making the living room lively and
vibrant.
"My dearest babies!" With a wide smile, Barry picked them up and walked towards Sh. "We
haven''t seen each other for a long time. Did you miss Daddy Barry?"
"Yes, I do!"
"I miss you so much!"
"Daddy Barry misses you too!" Barry kissed them and put the two kids on the sofa.
"You," Sh said to Barry as she stood aside shyly, "you''re back."
"Yes." Barry nodded, looked at the bowl of noodles on the table, and asked, "Did you cook dinner?"
"They said they were hungry, so I... I made some noodles," she answered while biting her lips.
"Mr. Gu, you are back!" Hester came out and asked, "Shall I prepare dinner?"
"No, thanks." Barry shook his head and responded, "I''ll have the noodles cooked by the famous star
tonight."
As soon as Barry finished his words, Sh''s face blushed.
"The noodles cooked by this big sister smell so good!" Elissa spoke highly of Sh''s noodles.
"Big sister?" Barry raised his eyebrows and looked at Sh. With short hair, she looked like a
college student who was simple and pure.
Sh lowered her head awkwardly.
"Call her Auntie or Aunt Sh in the future, alright?" Barry poked on Elissa''s little nose.
"Why?"
"Because," Barry pursed his lips and said, "Because she has a baby, and her baby is older than
Elissa!"
"Really?" Alick looked at Sh with wide-eyes. Apparently, he could not believe that someone so
young and youthful had already had a child.
"Yes." Sh nodded.
"Aunt Sh, where is your baby?" Elissa tilted her head and asked curiously, "Is it a baby boy or a
baby girl? What''s your baby''s name?"
"It''s a boy." Sh smiled and answered longingly, "His name is Ray."
"Ray... Where is he now? Why is Ray not with his mommy?" Elissa asked questions one after
another.
