Chapter 17
Lundy shook his head and wrote on the notebook, “I don’t want to go out today. I want to practice calligraphy at home.”
My father took him to sit on the sofa and said, “come here. Let me teach you what you want to practice today.”
They asked the servant to take the pen and ink and began to practice calligraphy on the dining table.
Seeing my father taking care of Lundy, I greeted them and went to the study.
Aimee’s POV
It was almost ten o’clock when I took the two kids to the research institute because of Lundy’s sudden visit.
After settling the two kids in my own office, I began to work immediately.
The group of data suggested by Dexter hadn’t been processed yet. Knowing that I was here, he came straight to my door.
We are almost devoted to our work.
We didn’t come to a conclusion until we got off work in the evening.
When I stretched myself, I saw two kids were also studying something on the computer. “Aviva, Cyrus, you can go home now.”
Hearing this, the two kids looked up from the back of the computer, nodded obediently, put down the computer and got down from the sofa.
Dexter looked at his watch and suggested with a smile, “it’s time for dinner. You helped me a lot today. Let me invite you to dinner with the children?”
I was stunned and turned to look at the two kids to ask for their opinions.
“Thank you, uncle. But my mommy has an appointment tonight, so I’d better not.” Aviva refused politely.
Dexter looked at me in confusion.
I glanced at the two kids. Although I didn’t know why they lied, I still followed their words. “I have an appointment with my best friend tonight. Let’s have dinner another day.”
Dexter smiled gently, “I’m so busy. I forgot to ask if you have any arrangement later. In that case, I won’t disturb you.”
After saying that, he said goodbye to the two kids and turned around to leave.
After coming out of the lab, I frowned slightly and looked at the two kids in confusion. “Why did you lie just now? Don’t you like the uncle?”
The two kids shook their heads seriously. “We are helping Mommy block the man you dislike!”
Seeing that they seemed to be telling the truth, I was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. “No matter what the reason is, you can’t lie casually in the future.”
The two kids nodded obediently.
Cyrus giggled and came close to me. “We think that uncle is really a good man, but Mommy can choose another one. Don’t worry. Anyway, sister and I are not so eager to have daddy.”
I couldn’t help laughing, “pick one more? Do you think it’s picking cabbages?”
I’m not familiar with the restaurants nearby, so I specially asked Daphne to recommend one and took the two kids there.
At dinner time, Clayton sent a message. “Aimee, do you need treatment tonight?”
It suddenly occurred to me that I hadn’t told him the treatment process clearly, so I replied, “old master is still a little weak, and the treatment can’t be too frequent. He has been treated for two consecutive days before. Let old master rest for one day. I’ll go there tomorrow. I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you at any time.” Clayton replied quickly.
The two kids asked curiously, “Mommy, what’s up?”
I picked up some food for the two kids with a smile. “Nothing. The patient asked me if I should go there.”
Hearing this, the kids nodded their heads and picked up some food. “Mommy, thank you for your hard work. You should eat more.”
Seeing the two kids so considerate, my heart softened.
After dinner, I’ll pay the bill with the two kids.
When I walked to the counter, i saw two people walking towards her.
Bonnie and Erica walked into the restaurant arm in arm, talking and laughing.
I couldn’t help slowing down my pace and glanced around. I wanted to walk into the crowd to avoid the two people.
After all, these two people have always been hostile to me.
Bonnie has been against me for a long time. He even joined hands with many suppliers of River City to resist my research institute.
However, Erica didn’t like my medical skills and incense making skills, so she mocked me again and again
But the two of them seemed to be on good terms.
I have no doubt that Erica will work with Bonnie.
Normally, I would ignore them and walk past them.
But now I have two kids with me. I don’t want to argue with them in front of the children.
When I was about to take the two kids to make a detour, I heard Erica’s voice in the distance.
“Oh, Aimee, what a coincidence! You are having dinner here too?”
I frowned and didn’t want to talk to her.
The two kids tugged at my sleeves and said, “Mommy, someone called you.”
I had no choice but to stop and turn around to look into Erica’s eyes. “It’s indeed a coincidence, but I’ve finished eating. I won’t disturb you. I’m leaving now.”
After saying that, she was about to pay the bill with two kids.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Bonnie asked, “do you know each other?”
Erica said in a disdainful tone, “don’t say that. I’m not qualified. Aimee’s medical skills are so excellent. Except for the famous incense refiner, many people are helpless about my grandfather’s condition. After Aimee made a few incense, my grandfather woke up. Now Aimee is a distinguished guest in my brother’s eyes, and her status is much higher than mine.”
“What did you say? Why did you ask her to treat your grandfather?”
Erica looked at me sarcastically and said, “it’s not us who invited him. She came to us by herself. As for the reason, I think he must have taken a fancy to the medicinal materials of our family. After all, my grandfather just woke up, and my brother has signed a contract with him.”
After saying that, she glared at me unhappily. “Look at yourself. My brother just mentioned it, and she agreed. Now the contract has been signed. If anything happens to my grandfather later, she will suffer!”
“Didn’t I arrange a medical team to treat Mr. Sharp? It didn’t work? Why did you ask her to take over Mr. Sharp’s condition?” Bonnie said in a sharp voice.
“Not really. The medical team you hired must have worked. But this woman came to my brother and persuaded him. After her treatment, Grandpa did get better, so my brother made the decision and she would be in charge of the rest.””
Bonnie looked at me and said in a voice with sarcasm, “I can’t see that Miss Miller is capable of doing that. Even the professional medical team can’t compare with her.”
I swiped the screen of the mobile phone and replied indifferently, “there are still a lot of things that you can’t figure out. How do you know that I signed the contract with the Sharp family? What else is Miss Hunter going to do?”
As soon as I finished speaking, Bonnie’s eyes darkened sharply,. “What do you mean? You have cured Mr. Sharp, and I can’t thank you enough. How can I play tricks on you?”
I didn’t want to play with her and said bluntly, “I think you know what I mean very well. Besides, if you want to play any tricks, I don’t care.”
Erica cautiously interjected, “Bonnie, do you… Do you know each other?”
Bonnie sneered, “not only do we know each other, we are even destined to be together.”
Then she turned to look at me and said provocatively, “do you think so, Miss Miller?”
As soon as I paid the bill, I said, “I don’t agree with you, Miss Hunter. I’m not that familiar with you. Please don’t say that again, Miss Hunter. I’ll be very troubled. It’s getting late. You’d better go in and have dinner. I won’t disturb you two.”
I nodded to them indifferently, walked past them with two kids and walked out of the restaurant without looking back.
When we came out of the restaurant, I got on the car with two kids and drove home.
“Mommy, who were the two men just now?” Aviva asked with a straight face.
“One is the family of Mommy’s patient, and the other, probably… Is Lundy’s mother.”
Aviva came close to me and asked, “Mommy, what did you say about that aunt? Did she bully you?”
I don’t want the two kids to be involved, so I indifferently denied, “nothing. It’s just a business matter. It’s settled.”
As soon as i finished speaking, I heard Aviva’s determined voice.
“Then there is!” Aviva pulled a long face and frowned. “Mommy, tell us what happened!”
Cyrus also asked, “Mommy, haven’t we made a deal? We three can’t have secrets between each other. You can’t lie to a child!”
I frowned helplessly.
I almost forgot that my two kids are different from other kids. They are so intelligent.
Under the interrogation of the two little guys, I finally told them that Bonnie and the River City suppliers had joined hands to resist our research institute.
The two kids were so angry that they clenched their fists. “That woman is so bad!”
“It’s all right now. You two don’t mess around.”
The two kids nodded obediently
Early in the morning, when I was about to send the two kids to school, I saw Cyrus come out of the room with his belly in his arms.
“What’s wrong?” I walked up to check it with concern.
Cyrus covered his belly and frowned. “Mommy, my belly hurts. Can I not go to the kindergarten today?”
