Chapter 953
I opened my eyes and gazed into his passionate eyes." I love you.”
It was a love that was impossible to describe...
The next morning, Theo was still lying beside me when I woke up.
He was already awake, looking full of energy.
When I saw him staring straight at me like that, I was amused. "What are you looking at? I don’t
look good right now."
Theo kissed my cheek. "You’re the prettiest in my eyes."
I cast my eyes down, trying to ignore the paining from my heart. I grabbed my phone that was
on the bedside table and looked at the time. "You should get u p. You''re runningte.”
Theo smirked. "Give me a kiss."
He was like a kid right now. I looked helplessly at him. "You''d better keep your word and get up after
I kiss you."
Theo nodded. "I promise."
I settled it at one go and kissed him straight on the lips.
The man was pleased and got up as promised.
After having breakfast, Theo went to work.
It was Saturday, so Munchkin did not have to go to the kindergarten. I sought Caroline''s help to take
care of him and got ready to go to Susan''s ce.
I had not visited her for so long and wondered how she was doingtely.
When I passed by a shopping mall, I got out of the car and went into a jewelry shop to buy two
silver bracelets and a ne for the baby.
When I arrived at Susan''s ce, she was coaxing the baby.
Seeing how hard the baby was crying, I was a little surprised and asked, "What''s wrong with the
baby?"
Susan handed the baby to the nanny and sighed gently, saying, "He''ll cry every day at this hour.
He''ll be fine after he gets tired from crying.”
"Did you get him checked at the hospital?” I walked up to the nanny and looked at the extremely
adorable baby. "Is he feeling unwell?"
Susan sighed. "We''ve checked with the doctor but he said that the baby''s fine."
Susan looked at the baby and said bitterly, "How can a baby boy love crying so much? I''m really
worried that he''ll be much more spoiled than a girl when he grows up."
Having said that, she poked the baby’s cheek with her finger and smiled in delight.
Looking at the blissful look on her face, I could not help but feel a little envious. "He''s still a baby,
after all. He’ll be fine after he grows up."
Susan nodded and looked at me,ining, "Why didn''t you tell me beforeing here? I
could''ve gone and picked you up."
I smiled slightly. “You don’t have to pick me up. I''m just here to visit the baby. I still have things to do
later. I''ll be leaving in a while."
When Susan saw me staring at the baby, she asked, "D o you want to hold him?"
I was stunned for a moment, then I shook my head." He''ll cry even more if an unfamiliar person
carries him."
Susan and I had a simple exchange after that. Then, I nned to take my leave.
Before leaving, I gave her the baby''s ne and bracelets. Susan did not refuse and epted
them readily.
After leaving her house, I nned to drive to Quinn’s.
There were baked sweet potatoes on a roadside stall. I pulled over.
"What would you like, Miss?" The vendor was an olddy with a gentle smile and a friendly
disposition.
I smiled and replied, "I''d like a baked sweet potato, please."
"I''ll pack it for you right away."
She even chose thergest one for me.
When I was about to pay for it, I took out my purse only to realize that I had no cash after opening it.
I forgot that I had not used cash for a very long time.
The olddy saw how chagrined I was and said with a smile, "It''s alright if you don’t have small
change. I''m here every day. You can pay me when you pass by another day."
I lowered my head to look at the bag with the baked sweet potato. Although it did not cost much, I
did not feel good taking it without paying for it. Hence, I put it on the table and said a little
apologetically, "I’m really sorry for the trouble."
"Just take it." The olddy looked at me with a helpless expression. "It doesn''t cost much anyway.
Just take it as a treat from me. You can juste and visit me often after this."
It was always hard to reject other people’s kind intentions.
I grabbed the bag and thanked her.
After getting into the car, I found a parking spot and parked my car. I opened up the bag of baked
sweet potato and started eating slowly.
I reminisced about my childhood as I ate. Every winter, Mother would buy a bag of sweet potatoes
for Tyler and me. However, Tyler would not eat it, so they became a snack for Cecilia and me.
When Mother had no time to bake them for us, Cecilia and I would bake them in the oven
ourselves.
Happiness was so simple at the time. Baking sweet potatoes with my best friend was the happiest
thing w e could do. We would sit down together to eat them, making us even happier.
Good memories were worth being constantly yed back throughout one''s life. It would make one
sigh. How great would it be if time could be rewound?
After having the baked sweet potato, Theo gave me a call.
I answered the call and the man''s tender voice came into my ears. "Want to have lunch together?"
I wound down my car window, and the sunlight that streamed through was a little blinding. I lifted my
hand to cover my eyes and felt the warmth of the sun o n my body. I said ndly, "I’m going to visit
Quinn. You''ll have to have lunch by yourself."
Theo hummed softly. "Drive safe, then."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, I drove to Quinn''s ce.
She sold off the cafe some time ago and bought a flower shop. There was a huge yard behind the
shop, which she liked very much. She said that the flower shop was simply an oasis in the middle of
a busy city.
When I arrived, Quinn was making lunch on the second floor.
Hearing the wind chime, she came out of the kitchen and was surprised when she saw that it was
me." What a rare guest."
After a pause, she continued, "I''m almost done cooking. Why don''t you have lunch at my ce?"
I nodded and said with a smile, "Thanks, Quinn."
When lunch was done, Quinn told me to serve the dishes.
We brought the dishes to the dining table in the yard and sat on the bench to admire the flowers
around us.
I praised, "They’re so beautiful."
"They''re alright." Quinn was a picky person. "These flower vines were all nted by the previous
tenants. They’re not particrly good seedlings. I n to rece them in a couple of days."
I nodded. “It''s good to have much better ones."
We did not say much after that. She said she wanted t o go for a walk after lunch, so I apanied
her.
Next to the flower shop was a tea store, and the owner was a youngdy. She happened to be
carrying her child outside to get some sun and ran into us.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
