Chapter 34 The Son Picks Up His Mommy
Matthew sighed slightly, wondering how he got along with a weirdo like Archibald for over ten years.
Archibald cared and valued his son very much; he had never let his son exposed on the Internet or in newspapers. He wanted to protect his son.
And his wife Lydia Coleman, who also did not appear on the Internet or in the news, outsiders speculated he wanted to protect his wife. But Matthew understood that Archibald simply didn't want Lydia appearing on the Internet, and that he would have nothing to do with her.
Matthew tilted his head and couldn't understand why. Archibald said before that he slept with a woman, and he was very concerned about that woman.
He made a splash in finding that woman. But when the woman appeared was Lydia, he showed no interest in her at all. On the contrary, he felt she was disgusted. He would rather suppress his need than have sex with her.
Matthew shook his head, and got a headache thinking of Archibald.
It was time to get off work. Patricia settled her things briefly, and walked out after the crowd in the company gradually dispersed.
Turning on her phone as she walked out, she intended to call Benjamin. Before the call was made, she received a voice message on WeChat.
She stopped at the entrance of the company, and then clicked on his voice message.
"I see my beautiful mommy!"
Patricia paused, and before she realize what was going on, a soft and cute, crisp childish voice rang.
"Mommy!"
Patricia was caught off-guard, looked up and saw Benjamin smiling at her. He stood in front of her with a small schoolbag on his back.
Patricia felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. Not like other children, her son actually took care of her.
Suddenly she thought of what Benjamin said at the door of Sidney Kindergarten today. "Mummy, wait for me to pick you up at the company." She didn't take it seriously, and he actually ran over to pick her up.
Patricia gradually squatted down, waiting for Benjamin to run over, and they hugged each other tightly.
Benjamin's little hands gently touched Patricia's head, a caring smile on his face, "Mommy, on the first day at work, no one bullied you, right?" Patricia chuckled and shook her head, and then raised Benjamin's little hand, "Baby, you don't have to pick me up in the future, you know." Listening to Patricia's words, Benjamin frowned, "Why? You don't want me to pick you up?"
"I am very touched, but I care more about your safety. You are so little, and it is not safe for you to be alone. You are so cute. If you are abducted, I will be lonely." Patricia curled her lips as if she was very sad. Benjamin gently rubbed her head, and said seriously, "Don't worry, mommy! No one can abduct me. He must be very capable to abduct me."
Patricia squeezed Benjamin's hand seriously, "No, absolutely not. I can't put you in danger."
"Don't worry, mommy, it won't happen." Benjamin's voice softened, and his expression was full of seriousness. Patricia opened her lips, as if she wanted to say something else, but at this moment, her mobile phone rang.
She answered the phone unhurriedly, "Karina Sparks? What's wrong?"
"Patricia, your mother found me and said she want to meet you." Karina said indifferently.
Thinking of what happened in the coffee shop three years ago, Patricia frowned, and said coldly, "I won't see her."
Karina said somewhat embarrassedly, "Your mother is at my home right now. She said she won't leave until she sees you. Now Coleman Family and Randolph Family are relatives by marriage, and it is inappropriate for our family to ask her to leave."
Patricia's eyes narrowed gradually, "I will come over now."
Looking at Patricia, whose brows were tightly frowned, Benjamin reached out his little hand slowly and gently smoothed her eyebrows with both hands.
Seeing Benjamin's behaviour, Patricia felt heart-warming. She put away the phone, and then took Benjamin into her arms, "Baby, let's go to the Sparks family."
Benjamin didn't ask anything, and just nodded quietly, "Yeah."
Patricia and Benjamin stopped a taxi and rushed to the Sparks family. They saw the familiar yet strange back as soon as they arrived.
She stopped, holding Benjamin's hand tightly before moving on.
Karina hurriedly walked to Patricia, and looked apologetically, "I'm sorry, Patricia, I can't do anything about it."
Patricia shook her head, "No, I caused you trouble. I should apologize to you."
Seeing Karina standing next to Patricia, Dustin Sparks looked at Patricia with disgust, and he dragged Karina aside.
"How many times have I told you, don't get involved with this kind of woman! Why don't you listen to me?"
Karina stomped her feet anxiously, "What are you talking about? I told you Patricia is not a bad girl."
Karina's parents looked unhappy, pulled Karina into the house, and then quickly closed the door. Patricia had no response, as if she was used to it.
Benjamin frowned unhappily. How can these people look down upon his mother?
Miranda looked at Patricia, who was with good temperament. She paused and then looked at Benjamin beside.
Her eyes widened instantly, and she was full of surprise. OMG! They looked so alike!
Patricia's baby and Lydia's baby were so alike! No wonder Lydia was so anxious. It was too dangerous for Patricia to stay in Midfort with this baby. The danger to Lydia was too great. Patricia must not threaten Lydia.
At first, Miranda felt guilty for Patricia, but now, she felt that she should take it for granted, and didn't even bother to pretend.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
