Chapter 396

Renee felt her exhaustion vanish the moment she saw her daughter. She felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

“How are you today, Mommy? Abby missed you so much.”

Abby was a sweet girl. Her eyes were like grapes, big and round.

She was holding a homemade phone in her hand. She aimed one end of the phone at the screen and placed the other end at her ear. ’’Mommy, if you have any secrets, you can tell Abby. Margaret won’t hear it.”

Her innocence and cuteness made Renee smile. Renee played along and whispered, “Did you behave today? Did you wet your pants?”

Abby’s face, which was as red as an apple, turned even redder as she blushed. “You’re so bad, Mommy. I don’t wet my pants anymore. Only big bro does now!”

“Hahaha, that’s right. Mommy forgot. You don’t wet your pants anymore. You just like to dawdle in bed.”

“Mommy, come home. If you come home, I won’t dawdle in bed anymore. Both big bro and I miss you so much.”

Abby’s puppy eyes drooped as she said pitifully.

“Don’t worry. Everything’s going well over here. Mommy will be back soon.”

Renee promised her daughter.

They kept chatting for a while longer, but Renee still did not see Adie, so she asked Abby, “Where’s your brother? Doesn’t he miss Mommy? Why hasn’t he come over to talk to Mommy?”

“Well…”

Abby blinked and said, Big bro is still upset with you. He said he won’t talk to you until you come home!”

“It’s that serious? Can you ask him to come over, please?”

“No!”

Abby shook her head. She still remembered her promise to Adie. “Big bro said he’s doing an experiment like you. He said he’s gonna make something big to show you, so we can’t disturb him… He made this phone for me. He’s amazing!”

“Ugh!”

Renee shook her head helplessly.

In this aspect, Adie was just like her.

He’s good at various things and liked to experiment with this and that.

Moreover, whenever he went into his laboratory, he would stay there for several days. He had the potential to be a good researcher. She naturally found it hard to stop him from doing his things.

“Never mind, then. Can you tell him later that Mommy misses him very much and ask him to stop being angry at Mommy?”

“Okay, Mommy. Don’t worry, I’ll persuade him.”

They soon ended the call.

Renee fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning.

Renee got up early. Her plan today was to inspect the Everheart Residence and sign a contract with a design company to begin the rebuild of the Everheart Residence.

Leia refused to let her go alone, so she went with her.

They took the big red Ferrari.

Leia bought some nice-looking pastries. She took a bite herself, then fed Renee a bite. The two of them naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Leia had been holding onto a certain question the whole night. She finally could not hold it in anymore and asked Renee, ‘ Renee, were you serious when you said you’ll marry my brother?”

“Of course. You can’t joke about these things.”
