Ethan in Abby’s arms imitated the behave of an adult, sighed deeply and said solemnly, “when I was in the toilet just now, I met a very handsome sir. He said I was a little boy and said that I couldn’t stand up to pee. I was very angry!”
Although the child said it casually, Abby felt that she owed him in many aspects. For example, in teaching him to live in the daily life, she felt that she hadn’t paid sufficiently. But what could she do? She was used to be so busy and ignored this point because she had to make money for the growth of Ethan.
Fortunately, she got a very high scholarship, and attained the professional interpreter certificate. The reason why she decided to come back was that she hoped to give Ethan a better life.
She thought and asked, “Ethan, in fact, what sir taught you is correct.”
“… I know.” The little guy’s answer was a little grudging.
“Did you say ‘thank you’ to the sir?” Abby’s voice was very gentle, without a bit of blame.
“…” Ethan was silent.
Ok! Exactly, so angry he got just now. He thought that the handsome sir was very annoying. Now his mommy said that, he felt he was like a rude child.
“Well. That sir must know that Ethan is a sensible child. Ethan just forgot to say that, right?” She couldn’t bear to see her son’s self-reproach look, so she hugged her son and comforted him.
“Yes.” Ethan nodded heavily. He reached out of Abby’s arms and assured, “Mommy, if I meet that sir again, I will make up for it.”
Smiling, Abby gently scraped the tip of Ethan’s nose with her finger.
At this moment, the radio of the taxi was broadcasting the news of the financial channel. The dispirited little boy suddenly brightened his eyes and leaned out of Abby’s arms. He was engrossed in the broadcast.
Abby was speechless and rubbed her eyebrows.
Ethan had been accompanied her for five years. The boy not only comforted her, but also worried her a little. Ethan wasn’t like the children of the same age, who like toys, watching cartoons and snacks. On the contrary, he liked watching news, especially financial events and military affairs. He was especially interested in things like airplanes, artillery, armored aircraft and so on.
When Abby was busy with her work, she had to leave him at home alone. As long as she bought him a brand-new model airplane, he would never cry.
Sometimes she could have a free time and she wanted to accompany Ethan at home to watch cartoon, Ethan often showed no interest in it.
She just didn’t know what to do with him.
Unknowingly, the car had arrived at the gate of a high-grade community. When they got off the taxi, they saw Elaine Tomas waiting at the door.
“Abby!”
“Elaine!”
After a few years of separation, the two best friends couldn’t help embracing each other. Elaine pouted and said, “Honey, I haven’t seen you for so many years. You are still pretty like a young girl. It’s beauty that heaven has endowed with you.”
Abby’s face blushed. Before she could speak, her little boy had interrupted her.
“Auntie Elaine, how beautiful you are! Your skin is whiter than my mom, and your eyes are more beautiful than mine… ”
Elaine noticed that Abby was surrounded by a sensible, well-dressed and good-looking, boy. Her eyes turned to consult Abby, who nodded with a happy smile.
“Oh my God! You are Ethan! Wow, you’re the most handsome boy I’ve ever seen.” Elaine reached out to rub the little guy’s hair. She liked him very much.
The little guy’s small mouth pouted. And he said discontentedly, “Auntie, I am not a little boy. I am a man who stands up to pee.”
His speech made Elaine laugh aloud. And Abby was brightened in an instant.
Elaine took Abby’s suitcase and took Abby and Ethan into her community. “These days Nelson has gone on a business trip. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to settle you.”
Abby apologized with smile, “Elaine, I’m really sorry. In fact, I don’t want to disturb you. It’s just that I don’t believe the rental information published on the Internet. I can’t decide whether to rent houses until I see them.”
Elaine gently patted her on the shoulder. “What are you talking about? You are not disturbing me. I am happy to see you come back. How can I feel troublesome? It may take about a month for Nelson to go abroad for an investigation. During this period of time, you can live in peace of mind and you don’t have to move out hurriedly.
“Thank you, Auntie. You are such a beautiful aunt with great kindness.”
Ethan’s words were as sweet as honey, which made Elaine delighted again. She decided to treat them with a dinner at a choice hotel in the evening, which was regarded as a welcome for them.
Palace Hotel.
The surroundings were filled with the festive sound of glasses clinking and people laughing.
The young and beautiful waiters were conscientious about serving customers. Gradually, Brian felt bored. It was not because the food on the table did not fit his taste, but because he was tired of all kinds of social activities in his life.
Today, he was in a high position, with hundreds of billions of assets, but he was not as intoxicated and arrogant as other successful people were. He knew better that opportunity was not a blessing from heaven. Therefore, he would still attend some necessary social activities.
On the contrary, Luna, the chief executive officer of Davies, Brian’ sister and the only girl in their family, had a good time in all walks of life in G city by virtue of the status of her position in her family and depending on her CEO Brother. Ivan, the handsome and gentle man beside her, was the son-in-law of Davies, who was Luna’s beloved man.
They were always in a good relationship. They should get engaged sooner or later.
In another box of Palace Hotel, Elaine and Abby took Ethan to their seats.
When Elaine ordered, Abby got up and went to restroom. She saw Ethan a little worriedly and found that the little guy was leaning beside Elaine. They were whispering something, maybe talking about what to order for dinner.
So she smiled and stopped trying to take him.
Abby’s chin was slightly lowering in the corridor with bright lights. She suddenly looked up and saw a familiar figure break into her sight.
