Chapter 210: Chapter 210

My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 210 I Miss You Keller and Desmond had just had a bath. They were very cute. Their little arms were fleshy.

Even though they were twins, they didn’t look alike. Keller looked like Cynthia, and Desmond looked like Alston. Even their personalities were quite different.

As soon as they were put into the big cot, Keller waved her little arms, and her little chubby legs kicked. She crawled, while Desmond lay there, watching Keller, who was screaming.

At nine o’clock, Alston gave Cynthia a video call on time.

“Cynthia,” his calm and magnetic voice came.

Cynthia noticed that he was in his office, and frowned. “It’s already nine o’clock. Why are you still in the company? Didn’t I tell you to take some rest before?”

Alston touched his nose. “I... I forgot something in the company, so I came to take it.”

Cynthia snorted in disbelief and thought, “The papers were still open on the table, and he was dressed only in a white shirt. The coat must still be on the hanger at the door. He must be working overtime this time.”

“Lier!”

Her voice was angry, which made Alston thrill. He looked down and smiled. His handsome features were very good–looking under the light. “Let’s not talk about this now. Let me take a good look at you. I haven’t seen you for three days.”

Alston’s breathing seemed to be right next to her ears. Cynthia’s ears turned red. She tucked her hair in a panic and pointed the camera at herself.

Alston saw Cynthia all at once. She had lost a lot of weight. Her chin was thin, and she was a little pale. She gained weight before but lost all of it after losing her mother and having a serious illness. Her small face appeared more delicate. Her eyes were bigger. She looked beautiful and distressing.

Seeing that he was wandering, Cynthia touched her cheek. “I’ve become a little plain during this time!”

“You’ve lost weight!” Alston sighed. His eyes filled with distress. “It’s only been a few days, and you have lost weight. It took me a lot of effort to make you gain weight before.”

Cynthia was stunned for a moment. Seeing his distressed and regretful look, she couldn’t hold back her laugh. “Isn’t it good to be thin? Girls want to be a little thinner. I don’t know how many girls will be envious of me.”

“I think you look better if you gain more weight. I just like your chubby look. You look healthier in that way.”

Cynthia was amused by his words, but at the same time, she felt warm.

Alston was not happy for several days, and after he saw Cynthia, he felt a lot better and talked a lot, “Tomorrow, I have to ask Lorenz why you became thinner.”

Cynthia had a fever a few days ago, but she didn’t tell Alston, because she was afraid that he would be ‘worried. She felt uncomfortable hearing him talk about it, so she concealed it. “Maybe I’m not used to the food here. I miss the food at home, and Mrs. Lewis’s soup...”

Alston fell silent. He remembered her words.

They were talking when there was a sound. Cynthia turned her head to look and saw Keller. She was tired of crawling, nestling beside her brother, patting the cushion next to her, and yelling at her brother. She wanted Desmond to lie beside her. Desmond looked at her and didn’t move, causing Keller to yell non–stop.

“What’s wrong?” Alston asked.

Cynthia laughed and turned the camera around. “Look at your daughter. She is so domineering. Keller is crawling all the time.

Desmond doesn’t even bother turning over.”

Cynthia had been worried that something was wrong with Desmond’s body, but after a check–up, he was perfectly healthy. He turned over, crawled, and lay down again. It left her dumbfounded.

“It’s nothing wrong for our girl to be like this. If she is domineering, she won’t be bullied.” Alston looked at them and was satisfied.

The two chatted for a while and saw that the two children were so sleepy that they fell asleep in an instant. So they were about to hang up the video call.

“Cynthia,” Alston called her. His voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of ambiguity. “I miss you.”

Cynthia’s ears turned red all of a sudden, and her fair earlobes were dyed a bright red, which made Alston thrilled.

“... I miss you too.” She looked down, not daring to look into Alston’s burning gaze. Her voice was small.

Alston was stunned for a moment, smiled, and pampered her while saying, “Babe, say it again.”

Cynthia became even shyer. “You are too bad.”

When she looked up, she saw two little babies leaning against each other. They looked at her in curiosity with flushed cheeks.

“Okay, I gotta go. I have to put them to sleep, and you should go home early. Don’t stay up too late at work.

You can’t bear it,” she said with a soft coquetry in her voice, “I asked Lloyd to take care of you before. I haven’t been at home these days. You must always stay up late before going back. Lloyd is so unreliable!”

At the door of the office, Lloyd stared at the unclosed door, holding a stack of documents, listening to her words, with a resentful expression.

He thought, “I wanted to take care of Alston, but I don’t dare. I dare not change the decision Mr. Smith has made. Did she not see that there was nobody in the company now? But I had to work overtime with Mr. Smith. It’s torture.”

After Cynthia hung up the video, Alston sat on the chair, remembered her words, laughed to himself for a long time, and then continued to work.

Lloyd came in and put the document on Alston’s desk. “Mr. Smith, this is the report of each department for the past six months.”

“Leave it here. I’ll read it later.” Alston looked at the document.

Lloyd hesitated for a mornent, thinking about what Cynthia said just now, and said, “Mr. Smith, it’s getting late. Why don’t you read it tomorrow...”

Alston said, “It’s okay. I’ll finish it tonight. If you have something to do, go back first. You don’t need to be here.”

Lloyd looked helpless and thought, “Mrs. Smith, I wanted him to take a rest. But I can’t persuade him.”

“In this world, there is only Mr. Smith who can make Mr. Smith put down his work and go home on time.”

It was already late at night, Alston finished reading a stack of reports, took a deep breath, and stood in front of the floor–to–

ceiling windows with a strong coffee in hand.

He thought, “It’s just a few days. I would miss Cynthia so much. I had to deal with the company’s affairs as soon as possible, and go to Coast City to take her home.”

Cynthia put the child to sleep. She was about to go back to her room when she saw Lorenz waiting for her at the door.

She asked, “What’s the matter?”

Lorenz smiled, and his features were strongly marked. “I brought you medicine. Although you don’t have any cold symptoms, you still have to take it. Remember to take it before going to bed.”

Cynthia agreed, and Lorenz continued, “You have been in Coast City for so long. You haven’t gone out for fun. I’ll take you out tomorrow to buy some clothes, bags, and jewelry.”

“No need. I don’t lack these.” After knowing she was coming, her grandma had already prepared a lot of clothes, jewelry, and bags for her. So she didn’t lack them. Even if she changed to a new dress every day, she could wear a different one every day for decades.

Lorenz rubbed her smooth long hair. “I know you are not lacking those, so we can go out shopping just for fun. Otherwise, it would be too dull to stay at home all the time. Go to bed, and we will go out after breakfast tomorrow.”

Cynthia had no choice but to agree.

Shopping was women’s nature, and Coast City was also known as a shopping paradise. Cynthia was a little excited before going to bed.

The next day she got up early, and after breakfast, her uncle and aunt went out. Her grandpa would not go shopping, and her grandma shook her head at her. “I’m getting old. It’s getting difficult for me to walk, so I won’t go. You can go shopping with Lorenz. Maybe take the babies, and let them see the scenery of Coast City.”

Seeing her saying that, Cynthia didn’t insist. Keller was very happy to go out, but Desmond was reluctant to move. When she tried to carry him out, he frowned like Alston.

Lorenz and Cynthia had no choice but to go out with Keller in their arms.

As soon as they were gone, her grandfather put down his paper and stood up, and the smile faded from her grandmother’s face.

“They have gone out. Let’s go and see her.”
