Chapter 1413
Lawrie enjoyed the chicken wings not only because they were delicious, but more so because they
were personally cooked by his mother. He loved anything she made!
At the dining table, Vanessa kept reminding him, "Baby, slow down. Don''t choke yourself."
Lawrie wiped his mouth and said sweetly, "Mommy, it''s so delicious."
Vanessa took a tissue and wiped his mouth. "You can''t eat too much even if you like it. You''ll get an
indigestion."
"Okay." Lawrie nodded his head, but he still couldn''t stop eating.
As they were munching on the chicken wings, Lawrie''s kindergarten teacher, Winnie Zir had
arrived. Vanessa greeted her warmly. "Miss Zir, have you eaten yet? You can join us if you
haven''t."
"I''ve already eaten." Seeing that Lawrie was enjoying the food so much, Winnie could not help but
shake her head and sigh. "Vanessa, it''s really better for a child to stay with his mother." "Yeah I
know, Miss Zir." Vanessa wanted to
take Lawrie with her and take care of him, but the situation did not allow her to do so. Hence, she
had no choice but to entrust Lawrie with someone else.
Winnie stroked Lawrie''s head and said, "You see. He''s eating much more than he usually does with
you around."

While Vanessa was looking at Lawrie heartbrokenly, Lawrie raised his head and said, "Mommy''s
chicken wings are the best."
Vanessa said, "Okay. I''ll make sure to make it for you more often, okay?"
Winnie asked again, "What are your ns, Vanessa? Lawrie misses you so much that he doesn''t
even have the appetite to eat and even falls sick. It won''t be good if things go on like this."
Vanessa said, "I will find a house and hire a nanny once I''m back in Chatterton Town. Once
everything is settled, I will bring Lawrie back with me to Chatterton Town. It would be much more
convenient to take care of him like this."
Winnie more or less understood the situation Vanessa was in, so she asked worriedly, "Will it really
work?"
Vanessa said, "Well, I''ll try my best to make it happen."
Not only did Lawrie miss Vanessa a lot, Vanessa missed him too. It was especially the case during
the quiet night, when she was all by herself. She would miss Lawrie so much that she couldn''t fall
asleep.
It was only when Julien Glover Kyle was around that she would miss Lawrie a little lesser. That was
because Julien was always thinking of ways to torture her while she would be thinking of ways to
please him. Therefore, she did not have the time to think about Lawrie.
Winnie looked at Lawrie and said, "It would be the best if that can happen. But if things really don''t
go as you nned, you can still leave Lawrie to me. Although I''m not as good as you in taking care
of Lawrie, I will do whatever I can to take good care of him."
Upon hearing Winnie''s words, Lawrie suddenly raised his head and with tears in his eyes, he said
pitifully, "Lawrie wants to stay with Mommy forever. I don''t want to stay here alone."
Vanessa quicklyforted him. "Don''t cry, Lawrie. Mommy is here, I won''t leave you here alone
anymore."
Lawrie was scared. He immediately threw himself into Vanessa''s arms and grabbed onto her
clothes tightly as he said, "Mommy, Mommy..."
He kept on calling his mother in a pitiful voice, unwilling to let go.
Winnie witnessed how much Lawrie missed his mother. Looking at Vanessa and Lawrie holding
each other, she was so touched that she almost shed tears. "Vanessa, if there is anything you need
help with, just let me know, okay?"
Vanessa smiled and said, "Miss Zir, you''ve already helped me a lot by taking care of Lawrie for
me. I really can''t thank you enough!"
Winnie said, "Don''t mention it. You paid me to take care of Lawrie. You really don''t have to thank me
for it."
Vanessa added, "If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t have been able to leave Lawrie here every week.
Anyways, I still want to thank you for your help!"
Winnie said, "No worries. By the way, I''m here just to check on you guys, since you two are all good
here, I''ll leave you two alone. Enjoy these two days with Lawrie, okay?"
Vanessa held Lawrie and saw Winnie out. "See youter, Miss Zir."
Lawrie also waved his hand. "See youter, Miss Zir!"
In fact, Lawrie hoped that he would never have to see Winnie again. That way, he could be with his
mother forever.
That afternoon, Vanessa yed games with Lawrie. Then, she took a bath with Lawrie and went to
sleep with Lawrie.
"Mommy..." Lawrie was so happy that he could sleep with his mother. After taking a shower, he
rolled on the bed, refusing to sleep. However, Vanessa did not stop him, and just let him do what he
wanted.
When he was finally tired, Vanessa pulled the quilt over him and said, "Goto bed now, Baby. If you
don''t go to sleep you''ll be tired tomorrow."
"Mommy, you sleep too." Lawrie rolled over and climbed onto Vanessa''s body. He wrapped his arms
around Vanessa''s neck and fell asleep almost instantly.
"You little cheeky boy." Although Lawrie was already three years old, he still couldn''t change the
habit he had developed when he was a baby. Whenever he went to sleep, he would have to lie on
Vanessa''s body. Vanessa patted his back gently and hummed a luby, "Go to sleep, my baby, go
to sleep quickly."
In his dream, Lawrie mumbled, "Mommy..."
Vanessa, "Baby, go to sleep."
Lawrie said, "I want Mommy. Don''t leave me, Mommy."
Listening to Lawrie''s sleep talking, Vanessa burst out into tears. She held Lawrie tightly, "Baby, give
me some more time, okay? I''ll find a way to make you stay by my side."
Time passed by quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was already Sunday afternoon. Vanessa would
usually return to Chatterton Town at this hour, but she was reluctant to leave that day.
Lawrie was taking an afternoon nap. Vanessa knew if he were to wake up and see that his mother
was gone, he would definitely be sad. Vanessa really couldn''t bear to let Lawrie feel sad anymore
so she waited for him to wake up. She would only leave after exining to him why she had to
leave.
Lawrie slept until 3 in the afternoon. After helping Lawrie change his clothes, Vanessa said, "Lawrie,
Mommy is leaving now. Please wait for me for another week. I''lle take you home with me next
week, okay?"
"No, Mommy!" The moment Lawrie heard that Vanessa was leaving, he immediately threw himself
into Vanessa''s arms and grabbed Vanessa''s clothes with his tiny hands. He was not willing to let go
no matter what.
However, Vanessa had to go. If she did not go to work, she would not have any source of ie.
More importantly, if she were to provoke Julien, Lawrie''s existence might end up getting exposed.
Julien was such a proud man. If he knew that the woman he kept had a child... Vanessa did not
dare think about the consequences. Before she was fully ready, she must not take Lawrie back to
Chatterton Town with her.
"Mommy... I don''t want Mommy to go, I want Mommy..."
"Listen to me, Lawrie. As long as you listen to Miss Zir, eat well and don''t get sick, I''lle pick
you up on the next weekend." Vanessa made a solemn promise, but no matter what she said,
Lawrie wouldn''t listen and only cry uncontrobly.
No matter how sensible Lawrie usually was, he was just a three-year-old child. In this world, his
mother was the most important person to him. She was his everything.
