The three of them were full. Marina was ready to go to the supermarket to buy food. Noemi showed her an imported supermarket nearby.
“Then let’s go.”
They didn’t know when Charlee would come back, so Noemi would stay at Marina’s for the time being, and Marin had to cook dinner.
“Noemi, what do you like to eat?”
Marina asked the little guy who looked like an adult.
“Everything. It’s not good to be picky about food. Nicole doesn’t like vegetables. That’s not a good habit.”
Noemi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, “Why don’t we buy some tomatoes? I sometimes eat tomatoes as fruits.”
The little guy came up with a good idea, and Nicole was not so resistant to tomatoes.
Marina thought that Noemi, as a son of the Best Actor, would want to eat expensive imported fruits, but he was down-to-earth.
Ordinary people would take tomatoes as fruits.
“I used to live in the countryside, and my father only brought me back to the city last year.”
When Noemi talked about his previous life, he felt that the countryside was funny as he had many playmates there.
Marina blinked and felt that something was wrong. She asked, “Where is your mother? Why didn’t she accompany you?”
“Mom?”
A trace of confusion flashed across Noemi’s face. He didn’t have a mother, maybe he did, but the woman didn’t like him.
Anyway, he had lived in the countryside since childhood. Last year, the police came to Noemi, and then he was brought here by a man who claimed to be his father.
Marina was stunned.
She didn’t see it on the news. Did she know a great secret?
From Noemi’s words, Marina could tell that Noemi might have been taken to the countryside. Then he was brought back by Felix.
As for where Noemi’s mother was and who took him away, Noemi was very young back then to know about that.
Charlee’s son was taken away. That must be explosive news!
Marina felt a little sympathy for the little guy. She found that Noemi was mature and independent, and felt relieved that the matter didn’t leave any emotional trauma for him.
The trauma one suffered since childhood was difficult to heal.
Marina held Noemi with her left hand and Nicole with her right hand. As soon as they walked to the supermarket, they immediately attracted many people’s attention.
A young and beautiful woman was with a pair of good-looking children.
Someone secretly took photos of them. Marina looked over and the man immediately pretended to take a selfie.
Then Marina’s phone rang.
It was a strange number.
Thinking for a while, she answered the phone.
“Hello?”
On the phone, a low and pleasant male voice sounded.
“Who’s that?”
Marina asked politely, waiting for the other to speak.
After a few seconds of silence, the man introduced himself. He was Felix, Noemi’s father.
He got Marina’s phone number from property management. He forgot to thank her because he left in a hurry.
“I have many scenes to film. Can you stay Noemi with you for a few more days?”
Felix knew that his request was unreasonable, so he was willing to pay Marina a generous reward.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was too busy with work, he would not have left his son alone.
Marina was speechless. Was his son not as important as his work? Felix should ask for a closer person to take care of Noemi.
But thinking for a while, it was not reliable to hire a nanny. After all, Felix was a public figure, and the nanny would reveal Noemi’s identity.
“OK, Noemi is very obedient. He’s doing it with my daughter. When you finish your work, come and pick him up.
Then Marina hung up the phone.
Felix was stunned.
He didn’t expect Marina to agree with that.
Knowing that his father didn’t come to pick him up, Noemi was fine. Anyway, it was not the first time.
The little guy didn’t look disappointed, which made Marina feel more soft-hearted.
The three of them bought food in the supermarket. Marina would not refuse the requests of the two children. She bought them snacks, toys, and the like.
In the end, she bought a lot of things and didn’t drive, so she had to wait for a taxi by the roadside with the two children.
“Marina!”
A red off-road vehicle stopped. Lola took off her sunglasses. She didn’t expect to meet Marina by the roadside.
‘How could Mrs. Langdon go out without a maid and a driver? And she is with two kids,’ thought Lola.
“Great! Could you send us home?”
It was rush hour, so it was not easy to take a taxi.
Just as Marina was worrying about how to go home, she met Lola.
“Return to the Langdon family?”
When Lola saw Noemi, she was puzzled and wondered, ‘When did Marina get such a cute guy?’
No. We live in the Maple Community. It’s nearby.”
It was good to have a car. Marina considered asking her brother to send her a car.
Mary liked sports cars, but they were eye-catching, so Marina dumped them. Now she needed a low-key car for daily use.
“What’s wrong with you? Have you been kicked out?”
Lola stared at Noemi with curiosity. She even thought that the kid might be Marina’s illegitimate son. The matter was discovered by the Langdon family, so Marina was kicked out.
“Don’t think too much.”
Marina was speechless. Lola was careless and low-witted. Such a personality would send Lola at a disadvantage when interacting with people.
Marina didn’t agree with Mary to be friends with Lola as Marina thought Lola was too high-profile, but after getting along with Lola, Marina found that Lola was quite easy-going and nice.
Lola would be willing to do anything for her friends and asked for nothing back. It was nice to make such a good friend.
On the contrary, Maeve was good at dealing with people, but she was scheming and would give Mary a hard time.
“Then tell me what happened.”
Back at the Maple Community, Lola learned that Marina had just moved out from the Langdon family. Then Lola immediately helped Marina with the housework. Lola was not from a wealthy family and she had to help with the housework back then.
“My father met Marina in the elevator and handed me over to her to take care of,” said Noemi.
Lola knew what was going on.
“So you met each other for the first time?”
Lola couldn’t believe it.
“Yes, I met Marina for the first time in the elevator.”
Noemi said that he liked Marina and Nicole. He would like to stay at Marina’s if it didn’t bother Marina.
Lola was dumbfounded and couldn’t help but say, “Your dad is irresponsible.”
As soon as she said so, Lola regretted it. She shouldn’t speak ill of his father in front of Noemi.
“That’s what he is.”
Noemi agreed with what Lola said. His father was irresponsible and often forgot him, so Noemi wanted to find a mother for himself. How nice it would be to have Marina be his mother.
