At the mention of Cedron, Anna fell silent.
Cedron, definitely won’t go.
But Amad was looking forward to it so much, Anna couldn’t bear to let her down.
Thinking about it, Anna changed her words, “You get well and mommy will prepare a surprise for you.”
After all, she is a child, Amad’s attention was immediately diverted, pestering Anna to ask what the surprise is.
But Anna kept on keeping her mouth shut, just refusing to say.
In the end, Amad had to give up, but also did not forget to urge Anna, “Then mommy, you must not forget ah, when the time comes, you must tell me, what is the surprise.”
“Okay, Mommy won’t forget.” Anna nodded her head in agreement.
When she hung up the phone, Anna let out a long breath with a sad face.
It was a quick promise, but where to prepare this surprise for Amad?
Alexis came up with an idea, “Miss Newman, why don’t I go buy a limited edition Barbie doll now, don’t little girls love that?”
Anna shook her head, “Amad is a very understanding child, she doesn’t like toys, and since she’ll be able to go out and play after her surgery, I’m afraid she’d prefer to go out and run.”
Wouldn’t that make it easier?
Alexis hammered her fist, “Then I’ll buy her the best sneakers, and then I’ll get her a little more kids, and we’ll all play together, what with the older siblings a la siblings a la siblings a la siblings a la siblings a la …”
“What did you just say?” Anna suddenly got a serious expression on her face.
Alexis was startled and shrunk her neck, not knowing where the problem was, “That is to say, buy a pair of sneakers for Amad, Miss Newman, I mean well, don’t get me wrong, is it that Amad needs to recuperate quietly after the surgery, I don’t know, or else I surely don’t say this.”
It was meant to be a good thing and it ended up being a bad thing, Alexis felt quite guilty.
Anna waved her hand, “There’s no such thing, I was trying to tell you that your words just now inspired me, and I know what kind of surprise to prepare for Amad.”
Huh?
Alexis was genuinely surprised that his words had such an effect.
He was very curious, “So what’s the surprise, do you need my help?”
“No,” Anna shook her head, “Why don’t you help me pack, I’m going out to make a phone call.”
–
In a flash, it was the next day.
Before Anna had to leave for the airport, she made it a point to get the doctor to check in again to make sure there were no problems and that she was okay to fly before she left.
And while that was happening, Alexis hurriedly slipped into the second floor study to see Cedron.
Seeing Cedron still sitting calmly at his desk reading a document while surrounded by the same things as before, he couldn’t help but be puzzled, “Mr. Navarro, where’s your stuff?”
Cedron wrinkled his nose, “What stuff?”
“The stuff for leaving the country, Mr. Navarro didn’t you pack it for yourself, well I’ll pack it for you now then, it shouldn’t be too late.” Alexis growled sharply.
The main thing is to pack a little bit of documents and a change of clothes, if other things are missing, then we can arrange it when we arrive abroad.
She was about to go to the next bedroom in a hurry, but she heard Cedron say quietly, “Didn’t I say that I won’t go?”
Really won’t go?
Alexis did not believe, “Mr. Navarro, you really do not go, or embarrassed ah, in fact, the reason I have thought of for you, it happens that there is a company over there can be acquired, you are just going over to investigate.”
Not to accompany Anna, but to investigate the acquisition of a small company, how reasonable ah!
Cedron is still sinking that face, categorically refusing, “I said, I’m not interested in going, and I won’t go.”
