At 6:30 in the morning, Laura Quincy woke up with her biological clock. She simply got up to wash up, then went to the kitchen to cook so wheat porridge and stead a few creamy buns and eggs that she bought at the supermarket yesterday.
At exactly seven o’clock, she served two bowls of porridge on the dining table, then arranged the stead buns and eggs on plates, and also prepared so pickles to go with the porridge.
After finishing these, she went to the room to wake up the sleeping Justin Hawthorne, "Twinkle, it’s ti to get up and eat."
Justin rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Good morning, sister!"
Laura’s mood instantly brightened; what a sensible and well-behaved child! Even when awakened, he didn’t make a fuss and adorably wished her "good morning."
In that instant, her heart almost lted because of him...
"Good morning! Sister also knows waking you up at this ti is a bit cruel, but I agreed with your dad yesterday, so we have to keep our word, right?"
Laura tried to reason with him.
Justin sat up from the bed, rubbing his eyes, and obediently nodded, "Yeah."
When Justin finished washing up and ca out of the bathroom, Laura had already started drinking porridge. She glanced at the simple breakfast on the table, "I can’t make a fancy breakfast, so just make do."
Justin climbed onto the chair that’s almost half his height, smiling and saying, "Everything sister makes is delicious!"
Laura nearly choked on her wheat porridge, not expecting this little kid to be so sweet-talking! But flattering her was useless; she would still stand firm!
After breakfast, they went downstairs, Laura looked at her watch, 7:32.
She wondered if Mr. Hawthorne had arrived yet. As she thought about it, she held Justin’s hand and led him out of the elevator. As soon as she pushed open the security door below, she saw a tall and upright man standing with his back to her by the flower bed.
For so reason, her heart suddenly skipped a beat...
Perhaps hearing the movent, the man turned around. Seeing them, he extinguished the cigarette between his fingers and threw it into the trash can nearby.
"Miss Quincy, did Twinkle give you any trouble last night?"
Jason Hawthorne’s tone was polite and courteous, even referring to her as "Miss Quincy," which was his way of pursuing Laura anew.
Since she had forgotten everything between them, it was ti to start over. If she didn’t like being called "Laura" now, he would use another na.
As Asher Thorne said, since they were starting over, he needed to make a good impression on her.
His politeness was appreciated by Laura, who secretly wondered: how did the uncle seem to change so much after not seeing him for a few days?
"No, Twinkle was very good and didn’t bother ."
After saying that, Laura added, "But I think, Mr. Hawthorne, you should spend more ti with the child aside from work. After all, earning money is also for providing the child with a better life, but if there’s a gap between you and Twinkle, father-son affection can’t be bought with any amount of money."
Jason Hawthorne smiled, "Miss Quincy is right, I will make sure to spend more ti with Twinkle from now on."
Laura then realized what she had said and felt a bit regretful: Why had she ddled in other people’s family affairs?
"Oh! I was just saying it casually. I’ll leave Twinkle to you then, I have to go now!"
"Miss Quincy."
After taking two steps, Laura heard Jason Hawthorne call her, so she turned around to look at him, "Is there sothing else?"
Jason maintained his usual courtesy, "I don’t know where Miss Quincy is heading for an interview? I can give you a ride as a small thanks for taking care of Twinkle last night."
His tone was gentle and the intention was also to "thank" her.
Laura paused and was about to refuse when she heard Justin’s soft voice, "Sister, please let daddy give you a ride!"
Two seconds later, "Well, then I’ll trouble Mr. Hawthorne."
Laura thought: since it was a thank you for taking care of his son, accepting a ride wasn’t exactly taking advantage, plus this way they’d be even.
Nice!
You do this, and that’s it.
They both formally addressed each other as "Miss Quincy" and "Mr. Hawthorne," which even Justin nearby could barely stand, but to support his dad in pursuing mommy again, he had to endure...
On the way, the two remained silent, and the atmosphere in the car plunged into a freezing point of awkwardness.
Laura sowhat regretted getting into the car; it was too uncomfortable! The whole ride she was tense and couldn’t relax...
