Chapter 284
Audrey was surprised when Jessica asked her this question. She paused for a moment before replying, "Mom, I don't have time to think about that right now." The company was in its infancy, and she was swamped with work daily. The only respite came on weekends, leaving her with no time to consider having a child. Jessica knew Audrey was independent, but she was still slightly disappointed to hear that.
Audrey was stunning, and Alistair was quite the looker as well. Any children they had would surely be adorable.
Plus, having kids earlier would help her recover better.
Keeping these thoughts in mind, Jessica didn't push Audrey. Instead, she offered understanding. "You young folks have your own perspectives. I won't meddle, but you'll want children one day. It's worth planning when you'll have them." Audrey was a little embarrassed and said softly, "I... I'll discuss it with Alistair."
Even though she said that, she was too shy to bring it up with Alistair, so it was really just a way to avoid the topic.
Audrey and Sunny spent the whole day at the Harper residence and didn't decide to leave until it was almost dark.
Before leaving, Jessica packed a lot of food for her. "These are ham and bacon. I know you won't do much cooking, so they're ready to cook and eat. Also, stop feeding Sunny fast food all the time. It's not healthy."
Audrey took the bag and explained, "Thanks, Mom. Don't worry. When Alistair left, he hired a cook for us, so we won't go hungry."
Seeing Alistair organize everything so well, Jessica felt happy and smiled, nodding in approval, "That's great. If he's attentive to you, I can rest easy."
After seeing Audrey and Sunny off to the car, Jessica finally turned back toward her home.
Once home, Audrey helped Sunny take off his jacket and asked with concern, "Sunny, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a bit?"
But Sunny simply stood there, expressionless, showing no response to her words.
Audrey immediately sensed something was wrong.
Sunny had been happy all day, but on the way back, something seemed to have upset him, and he reverted to his old withdrawn self.
If the issue wasn't resolved right now, the progress Sunny made could regress.
Audrey's expression became serious at the thought of this.
Holding Sunny's hand, she sat with him on the couch and patiently asked, "Sunny, do you not like visiting Grandmother's house?" Sunny hesitated for a moment, first nodding and then shaking his head.
Audrey understood what he meant and continued asking, "Did you hear Grandmother? Are you worried that with a new sibling, I might not want you anymore?" noveldrama
Sunny's eyes widened in shock at the words, and he quickly let go of her hand. Audrey finally understood what the problem was.
The little guy overheard her talking to Jessica and thought he would be abandoned, so he shut himself off again.
Seeing Sunny almost digging into his own fingers, Audrey felt sorry for him, and she quickly pulled him into her arms.
Caught off guard by the sudden embrace, Sunny blinked in mild surprise, a fleeting glimmer of panic darting through his eyes.
Audrey gently patted his back, her
voice soft and calming. "Sunny, don't be scared will never leave you.
Even if you have a little brother one
sister in the future, you'll always be the most important and special to me.
Sunny's eyes narrowed at the words, and his hands, which had been
hanging by his sides, instinc
rose to softly clutch her clothes.
"Don't belittle yourself or question my love based on what others might say, okay?" said Audrey.
After their recent time together, she had begun to regard Sunny as if he were her own child.
She wasn't pregnant right now. Even if she got pregnant, she wouldn't abandon him just because she had her own child.
Hearing this, Sunny just couldn't hold back anymore.
He reached up, hugged Audrey's neck tightly, and buried himself in her embrace. In a slightly choked voice, he called out, "Mom..." Hearing the word "Mom" from him, Audrey felt her heart practically melt.
It was the first time Sunny had called her "Mom" while fully conscious.
