Can't Get Away With You

Joey turned to look at Lois. Lois didn't say anything BUT walked past him to Maggie.

She walked quietly to the bedside, squatted down and touched the little fellow's eyes whose brows that were similar to hers.

Seeing that Lois was about to cry, Joey couldn't help but turn his head away. "She just fell asleep. Don't disturb her."

Hearing that, Lois's fingers trembled. She looked up at Joey and said in a low voice, "I want to wait for her to wake up."

Looking at her pleading face, Joey turned to look at other places and said softly, "it's good that you don't wake her up."

Looking at Maggie who had just fallen asleep, Lois felt sad but happy. The sweet and bitter feeling spread in her heart. She smiled happily and looked at Joey. "Can I help her tidy up the room?"

Joey remembered that Maggie had never allowed anyone to touch the decorations in her room. Thinking of the tacit understanding and little secrets between Lois and Maggie, he nodded.

Lois was overjoyed. She stood up and put the previous dolls and little toys in their original positions, and then put the toys into the drawer beside the child ladder

Looking at the room which looked eight percent like it was before, Lois was a little disappointed. She looked at Joey and asked, "can you put back the change jars and cartoon characters?"

Joey frowned and said, "we'd better wait for her to grow up. It's not good that those may hurt her hands and feet if those things are broken."

Lois was not reconciled, but she felt relieved when she thought that Maggie was about to leave.

She folded the clothes thrown anywhere by the little girl and the clothes washed by the servants and put them in the closet. Looking at the little girl's room restored bit by bit, Lois smiled with satisfaction.

She looked at the clock on the wall. It was already half past five. She looked at Joey, and he was also looking at her. His starry eyes were like a black hole, almost devouring her.

Hearing that, Lois's breath trembled and she lowered her head. "I want to cook something for her."
