Chapter 29 Mommy Needs My Care
Hardly had Patricia finished her breakfast than Benjamin handed her purse to her. "Mommy, I have put your sketches and the necessary tools into your purse, as well as a first-aid kit."
Patricia opened her purse blankly. Seeing that everything was inside, she was dumbfounded. Even she herself might not get everything so ready like this.
Looking at Benjamin, who had already carried his schoolbag next to her, Patricia opened and closed her mouth, unable to say a word.
"Mommy, stop staring blankly at me. Our bus will arrive in five minutes. That bus heads straight to Sidney Kindergarten. You have to transfer to Bus 220 there, and will arrive at Crawford Group in five minutes, which means, you will arrive at the company at 7.50 am."
Benjamin held Patricia's hand and walked downstairs evenly.
Patricia failed to close her mouth. Had she given birth to a baby, or an electronic program?
"Benjamin, how did you know the route to your kindergarten? And how did you know which bus to transfer to my company? I planned to take a taxi there..."
Benjamin answered with a calm face, "Yesterday when we were in Karina's car, I figured out the routine to the kindergarten. After that, when I searched Crawford Group on Baidu, I took a look at Crawford Group's address in passing and then I deduced the routine from Sidney Kindergarten to Crawford Group."
Patricia was totally shocked. She couldn't help but tighten the grip on Benjamin's hand. "So you figured out everything after you took a look at the road? Then you deduced the routine via the geographical locations?"
"Yeah. Is that so complicated?" Benjamin tilted his head in confusion.
Patricia put her palms together devoutly and kept muttering, "Buddha, please have mercy on me."
So this was how it felt to live with a genius!
Patricia shook her head and quickened her steps. "Benjamin, didn't you say that the bus would arrive in five minutes? Then we have to hurry up!" Benjamin pulled Patricia's hand with a cool face. "Mom, no hurry."
Patricia and Benjamin walked to the bus station slowly. The moment they stood still, the bus came towards them and stopped in front of them.
Patricia, now sitting on the bus, was still in a daze. Seemingly, taking Benjamin outside equaled taking an amazing buff with her!
There were more and more people in the bus as it moved forward, among whom there were the elderly and the children. Many young people were in the bus too, but no one chose to offer his seat. Watching the old man standing aside holding the handrail, Benjamin stood up without hesitation, his little hand pulling the old man's hand. "Granny, please take a seat."
The old man stared at Benjamin, stunned, but refused to sit on the seat. "No, no. Little boy, you are still so young, and it's crowded on the bus. What if you get hurt?"
"Granny, I'm not a baby anymore. I'm already a grownup, so please take this seat, granny!" Benjamin looked determined.
Seeing the old granny reluctant to take the seat, Patricia felt warm inside.
Patricia stood up and smiled at the granny. "Please take this seat. My son can sit on my laps."
Hearing Patricia's words, the old granny sat down. She stared at Patricia with a smile. "Girl, you have a good boy!"
Chuckling, Patricia pulled Benjamin up to her laps, but Benjamin wouldn't sit on them.
Both his tiny hands held tight to the handrail, as he insisted on standing.
"Mom, I told you. I'm a grownup. Don't always treat me like a kid."
Patricia smiled and shook her head slightly, poking Benjamin's head gently with her fingers.
"Alright, alright, Benjamin is a grownup. How about I stand with you?"
Benjamin shook his head without thinking. "No! Mom is a lady. I need to take good care of you! Mom, take your seat!"
Seeing Benjamin, a three-year-old baby, offering his seat, the other young people on the bus were embarrassed to sit on their seats. They stood up one by one to offer their seats to the needed. A sweet scene was going on in the bus. The elderly and the children were all sitting, while the young people standing.
The only discordant detail was that Benjamin, a little boy, was standing among the adults. He looked so tiny and lovely.
Patricia stood up from her seat slowly, and then held Benjamin's little hand gently. "But I want to be with you." Benjamin watched Patricia and his bright eyes widened, but then he squinted with a smile on his face. "Well, there's nothing I can do with you."
Patricia stood up, and there was an empty seat on the bus at once, but no one stepped up to sit on it. When Patricia and Benjamin got off the bus, there was still no one taking that seat.
Once they arrived at the entrance of Sidney Kindergarten, Miss Erin had long been waiting there.
"Benjamin, you are very punctual." Squinting her eyes, Miss Erin smiled at Benjamin.
Benjamin lowered his head slightly. "One needs to be honest and punctual."
Miss Erin nodded her head with satisfaction and then looked at Patricia, "Benjamin's mommy, if you live far away from the kindergarten, you may entrust Benjamin to the care of the kindergarten, so that it will save you a lot of trouble. Of course, you may come to see your baby at any time."
Hardly had Miss Erin finished her words than Benjamin burst out anxiously.
"No! I don't want to be entrusted to the kindergarten! I want to be with my mommy."
Seeing Benjamin reacting strongly, Miss Erin couldn't help but smile, "Benjamin, it is just a suggestion to your mom."
Benjamin shook his head earnestly. "You don't have to suggest anything to my mom. I have to be with my mom. I have to take care of her!"
Hearing Benjamin's words, Miss Erin smiled awkwardly. At this moment, of course it was impossible for her to believe that Benjamin could take care of Patricia. However, Patricia started to blush upon hearing Benjamin's words.
It seemed that she had indeed been taken care of by his son.
Smiling, Patricia turned down Miss Erin's suggestion. "It's alright, Miss Erin. It's better to keep him beside me."
Standing at the entrance of the kindergarten, Benjamin saw Patricia leaving slowly and frowned, looking worried.
He couldn't help but step forward. "Mom, when you are off work, wait for me downstairs of your office building. I'll pick you up!"
Hearing Benjamin's words, Patricia stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
She replied in embarrassment, "Alright, Benjamin. Just go inside. I am going to the company."
Watching the worried Benjamin, Miss Erin was stunned. Was she mistaken about the identities of Benjamin and Patricia?
