Love And

Chapter 175

There was a buzz in Stacey’s head. She was stunned. Realizing something, she hurriedly wheeled around and hung her head low to give Kevin a hug while cooing. “Hush, Kev. I also love you the same.”

She was so used to appeasing crybabies that she almost neglected Kevin. Never would she expect Kevin to be envious of Lillian and Jeremy simply because they were coased when they cried. Stacey suddenly felt sorry for Kevin.

Kevin’s eyes widened as he eyed his mother in astonishment.

Stacey kissed Kevin again and uttered with a smile, “Be good and get some sleep, will you?”

The boy’s eyes shone with elation upon receiving a kiss from his inother, hence agreeing, “Aright!”

Beaming, Stacey gently tucked Kevin in and cooed, “Night–night

“Night–night. Mommy.” Kevin was pleased.

“Sweet dreams. Kev, Stacey added sweetly. After putting all of them to bed, she turned off the lights once more.

At the other end of the bed. Jeremy turned over and looked at Kevin enviously, thinking, ‘If only I’m also her kid.

As the night deepened. Kevin and Jeremy fell into slumber. Stacey listened to the children’s light breathing and slowly fell asleep, too.

The next day, Stacey was all ready to go to work. Jeremy wished to follow her to work, for he used to follow his father to work back home. Unless he were to be at the kindergarten, his father would send him there first before departing for work.

Gazing at the little boy, Stacey fell silent for a moment. In that split moment, she recalled how Jeremy had sobbed in his dream the night before, so she took the initiative to help him into the car.

It was not a big deal for Stacey, for Jeremy was always well–behaved in the office; he had never made a fuss, so she reckoned, that his presence would not affect her work.

Never in her wildest dream would she expect Lillian and Kevin to follow suit the second they saw Jeremy hop into the car. It was as though a door to a new world had been opened for them.

Gwen and Marie panicked, darting over to hold the two munchkins back.

That sight made Patrick smile as he told Gwen and Marie, “It’s okay. Get Lily and Kev their things and some toys. Let them visit the company today.”

Stacey was helpless to see how her father spoiled the children.

Patrick then asked the driver to wait until Gwen and Marie packed up some stuff for Lillian and Kevin.

With that, Stacey helped Lillian and Kevin into the car. Still, she squatted down and set some rules with them upon thinking about her work later. “Lily, Kev, if you wanna go with me to work you have to promise me three things, okay?”

That got Lillian curious. “What kind of promises?”

Stacey held out a finger and pronounced seriously, “First, when Im working, there’ll be no noise and no asking me to play with you. You must play by yourselves”

Lillian was stumped, for that proved to He challenging.

Kevin, though, was confused. “Why can’t we ask you to play with us?”

That threw Stacey into a dilemma. She enunciated solemnly, “Because I have work to do.

Lily hurriedly chimed in, “Then, you shouldn’t be working anymore!”

Stacey’s mouth twitched slightly. She was speechless.

Patrick, in turn, chuckled, pretending to be mad. “So, Lily, you don’t wanna play with me! Hmph! I’m so mad now that I know I’m not your favorite.”

Hearing that, Lillian widened her eyes in shock. She quickly tugged at her grandfather and explained, “I’ll come play with

you!

Kevin fixed his gaze on his mother firmly. “I wanna play with you, Mommy!”

Kevin’s eyes were sparkling as he looked at Stacey delightfully. He still remembered what she told him the night before. Even though he did not shed tears, Stacey would still love him the same.

Jeremy watched Lillian and Kevin. Although he was only three, he grew up spending plenty of time with his father at work, so he knew that when adults were working, children should never make noise, otherwise they could not perform well at work

Quick as a wink, Jeremy fished out his writing tablet and wrote four words before hitting the read key of the system.

Out of the blue, the Al of the writing tablet spoke at Jeremy’s behest. Tll play with you!”

Gwen and Marie came to the car with the kids‘ toys, clothes, diapers, and baby bottles. The driver then revved up the engine and set off for the company.

In the car, Jeremy continued to write and then communicated with Lillian and Kevin using the reading function of the tablet. “When your mommy’s working, you can’t ask her to play with you. It’d disturb her work.”

Lillian and Kevin did not get what Jeremy meant, but they found it amusing that his writing tablet could actually speak. The tablet attracted their attention like a magnet. They continued to stare at the tablet curiously,

“Jeremy, it can talk!” Lillian said in surprise.

She had seen electronic products talking, but that was her first time seeing Jeremy’s writing tablet speaking. Previously, she only saw Jeremy write words she could not read on it, yet that was the first time she heard the sound it made. It was all too magical for her.

“So cool!” Kevin looked all curious as well.

Jeremy stole glances between Lillian and Kevin, continued to write, and then activated the reading function. Then came the electronic voice from the tablet. This is my voice.”

“Wow!” Lillian was surprised, her mouth agape.

Out of curiosity, Kevin reached out for the writing tablet Jeremy noticed that, thus generously let the boy touch it. Lillian, too, was curious and wanted to lay her hand on the tablet just the same.

Beholding the kids, Stacey could not help reminding. “Be carefu, Lily and Kev. Don’t mess with it or drop it. That tablet is super important to Jeremy. Make sure not to break it”

Hearing that, Jeremy immediately raised his eyes to look at Becky. He smiled, appearing happy that Lillian and Kevin adored his belongings.

Brooding over something. Stacey turned to Gwen and Marie and reminded them, “Keep an eye on them, Gwen and Marie. Don’t let Lily and Kev break Jeremy’s tablet.”

Since Jeremy could not speak, the writing tablet was his only mins of communication. It was paramount for him.

Gwen and Marie acknowledged that at once.

At that thought, Stacey unwittingly focused on the brand of Jeremy’s writing tablet. She had an urge to get more of it and keep them at home just in case.

Moreover, should Lillian and Kevin truly fancy playing with the tablet, it would not hurt to get each of them one. In her book, Lillian and Kevin might even learn to read and write alongside Jeremy.
