President's Substitute Wife

“I...” I opened my mouth and hesitated for a long time.

I knew why he dare not look up. He was afraid that I would turn him down. He was afraid that I would see him at a loss.

In the end, my heart softened. I said, “I will marry you.”

My mood did not improve at all. I was more nervous.

But since I said it, I would do it.

The next day, I went back to Sceaux.

Lester and Murray came to pick me up.

As soon as Lester saw me, he came running quickly. He hugged my neck and said, “Mom, I thought you abandoned me.”

“Why? Mom had to deal with something before.” I could’t help kissing his chubby little face.

After I got back to the studio, Lester followed me wherever I went.

He seemed afraid that I would leave again.

Usually he went to bed at nine, but today he didn’t want to go to bed.

I told him three stories but he didn’t sleep. Several times his eyes were closed. As soon as I put the book down, he immediately opened his eyes and said, “Mom, I’m not asleep!”

“Do you want to go to kindergarten tomorrow?” I touched his little head. “Why are you so energetic today?”

Lester put his arm around me and blinked. He looked at me and didn’t talk for a long time.

“What’s the matter?” I asked.

Lester pouted. “I’m afraid you’ll be gone when I wake up tomorrow morning after I fall asleep.”

His words made my heart ache.

The reason was it.

I patted his body and said softly, “how could it be? I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be with you as before, OK?”
