Book:Daddy, Mommy Escapes Again! Published:2024-5-31

“Xiao Yi, wait a moment. I’ll call your father to see if he can come back early.”
As she made a call, Florence Li reached her hand out and touched Si Yi’s head, then she comforted her.
In an instant, Sis Yi’s drooping little head was lifted again, and there was hope in her eyes.
The more she faced Shi Yi, the more bitter Florence Li felt. At this moment, as a mother, she wanted to give her son the whole world, hoping that he would be happy forever.
“Sorry, I’ll go to the bathroom.”
Brian Si and Lin Miaomiao chatted, but because this matter was more troublesome, the two of them chatted and Lin Miaomiao suggested to continue in her room.
Brian Si also wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible, so he had no objections. He just stood up and said that he was going to the bathroom.
Lin Miaomiao smiled and nodded at Brian Si, indicating for a moment.
“Ting bell, ding bell.”
Just that not long after Brian Si left, Lin Miaomiao heard the phone ring.
She subconsciously looked at her phone and realized that her phone screen was black. Lin Miaomiao stood up and walked to Brian Si’s seat.
Raising her head, she glanced at Brian Si who had yet to come back. She quickly picked up the phone on the table and saw that Florence Li was calling.
In an instant, Lin Miaomiao’s expression turned gloomy. She stared at Florence Li’s flashing number on the phone, as if she wanted to throw the phone out.
“Okay, Florence Li, he only stayed on my side for a while and you called to find him.”
As the number flashed on the phone, Lin Miaomiao’s heart became more and more resentful. Finally, she muttered to herself and hung up.
As her lips pursed lightly, Lin Miaomiao felt that she was not satisfied. She pressed the unlock button on the top and unlocked the phone that was already familiar with her heart. After she unlocked the phone with a malicious smile on her face, she gently deleted Florence Li’s number.
“What did you just say?”
Brian Si didn’t know anything about this. He came back from the bathroom, picked up the tissue on the table and wiped his hands, then looked at Lin Miaomiao and asked.
The moment he raised his head, he realized that the smile on Lin Miaomiao’s face seemed to be happier.
“Mommy, didn’t Papa pick up?”
Shi Yi had been waiting for him all the time. Seeing as his mother called his father, he thought he could see Brian Si back.
She didn’t expect her mother to put her phone down again after waiting for a while.
He raised his little face and grinned. He only pouted and asked this question.
“Xiao Yi, Papa might be really busy today. I called him just now and he didn’t have time to pick up. But don’t worry, when your father comes back, I’ll tell him you miss him.”
Florence Li felt a little bitter, especially when she saw the unconcealable disappointment on her son’s face.
She didn’t know how to comfort Shi Yi, so she reached her hand out to hold Shi Yi’s little face in her hand and comforted her son.
“Alright, since Papa is too busy today, it’s fine. Mommy, let’s play the puzzle for a while.”
Shi Yi was also a smart child. Of course, he could see the pain on his mother’s face.
He immediately made a happy expression and pulled Florence Li’s hand out the puzzle he had bought before. It looked like he was full of interest.
Originally, Florence Li didn’t have much time to play with the puzzle, but she didn’t want to disappoint Si Yi. She could only put together a small square with him.
The two of them played for several hours, until Shi Yi was tired and fell asleep. Florence Li carried her back into the room.
“Son, Mommy knows that you care about your father. Don’t worry, I will take good care of you with your father.”
Facing her son, who was sleeping in bed, Florence Li didn’t know why she was more determined.
She felt that she had experienced enough things with Brian Si. Now that she had finally gotten together, plus her son’s feelings of loss and gain, she couldn’t bear to hurt her son again.
She felt that she should have a good talk with Brian Si and make time to accompany Si Yi.
“Luo Ming, why don’t we have a glass of red wine? I looked at these tangled words and almost fell asleep.”
Lin Miaomiao found Brian Si with great difficulty. Of course, she didn’t want him to leave so easily. She had been chatting with Brian Si in the name of work.
When it was almost time, she saw that Brian Si was about to be sleepy and made the suggestion.
At this moment, Brian Si was full of thoughts about getting rid of his work, so he didn’t think much about it. He just nodded and agreed to Lin Miaomiao’s proposal.
“Alright, then watch me drink first.”
Lin Miaomiao waited for Brian Si to nod. When she saw that Brian Si agreed, she stood up without hesitation and went to drink.
As she poured wine, she occasionally checked if Brian Si was paying attention to her side.
When the wine was poured and when she saw that Brian Si was not paying attention, Lin Miaomiao quickly took out something she had prepared from her handbag and poured it into the glass of red wine she prepared for Brian Si.
“Luo Ming, then.”
After everything was ready, Lin Miaomiao picked up her glass and walked towards Brian Si with a sweet smile.
He handed the wine to Brian Si in the tone of a friend. He didn’t look at the other person and took a sip of the glass of red wine in his hand.
On the other hand, Brian Si had been focusing on the plan in his hands, but he did not pay attention to Lin Miaomiao’s expression and her extra little actions.
He took the red wine and drank it without raising his head. After he finished drinking, he casually placed the glass on the coffee table.
“Luo Ming, red wine is used to relieve the sleepiness. Why did you drink it in one gulp?”
Lin Miaomiao saw that Brian Si drank the red wine in one gulp and she was happy to jump.
However, she didn’t want Brian Si to find out about her problem, so she said in a tone that was thinking for Brian Si.
“It’s alright, it’s just a glass of red wine. Let’s quickly resolve the issue of work. I can go back early too. Before I left, I promised Xiao Yi to go back and play with him.”
As he said this, Brian Si looked down at the plan softly.
Lin Miaomiao gritted her teeth when she heard Brian Si mention his son and then saw the look on Brian Si’s face.
