Chapter 368 Might be away for a long time
When she said this, her eyes were filled with a complicated look.
She had just thought about it.
If she couldn't accompany this child to grow up afterwards, Jimmy could grow up healthy under the
shelter of Stefan.
After all, no one could guarantee that the fight over there would not get the child involved.
Jimmy heard this, his nervousness eased a lot, but he still asked uneasily.
"Then how did Mommy just say something like that?"
Martha's eyelids lowered and after thinking seriously, she said in a soft voice, "Mommy may need to go
for a business trip for a while, so ..."
Before she finished her sentence, Jimmy eagerly asked, "Where is Mommy going to go on a business
trip? How long will it take?"
Her long eyelashes fluttered lightly, and her eyes were filled with a bleak look.
"I don't know it yet, it may take a long time to come back."
When Jimmy heard this, he couldn't let go of his mommy and moved his little body and hugged her
waist.
"Can you take Jimmy on your business trip?"
Martha shook her head slightly and replied with a bitter smile, "I am going to work, not to play."
What's more, it was so dangerous there, how could she bear to let Jimmy go with her and take the risk.
As soon as her words came out of her lips, Jimmy's voice sounded, "I see. I will be good and stay in
the hotel."
The child's big eyes were filled with a imploring look, and Martha's heart softened as she watched.
She smiled, stroked Jimmy's head, and said softly, "I can't take you on a business trip, because I will
feel at ease only when you stay here."
Jimmy stiffened, and after a long hesitation, his voice of reluctance rang out in the room.
"Then don't worry about me. Mommy, just go ahead. I will take care of myself at home."
Although he didn't understand why Mommy couldn't take him along, he was a good boy and would do
as he was told and wait for Mommy to return.
Since Mommy said she would feel more at ease if he stayed at home, he would be a good boy and wait
for Mommy to come back.
Martha smiled gratefully and looked at the child in front of her with a lot of affection.
Jimmy had finally regained his health, but she didn't expect that she had to leave.
...
At night, Martha accompanied her father to play chess in the study.novelbin
Maxwell, who was old and inevitably presbyopic, looked at the pieces on the chessboard and moved
the piece indecisively.
"I'm old, my eyes are bad, and I play chess slowly."
"That's okay, Dad, I'll wait for you."
Martha smiled, playing chess was supposed to be fun with her father and she was patient.
Maxwell narrowed his eyes as memories of the past came to mind.
"You loved to play chess when you were little too, you always pestered me to keep you company at
that time, you didn't care if you lost, you just wanted me to play chess with you."
"Now you can win me, but I ... am too old."
Martha heard this and her eyes were moist as she responded with a smile, "Dad, you're not old, if you
didn't play weak on purpose, I wouldn't be able to win you now."
When Maxwell heard his daughter say that, he couldn't help but raise a smile, reach out and wave his
hand.
"I have to admit I am old."
Martha looked at her father in an adorable way and said softly, "Dad is always young in my mind."
The smile on Maxwell's lips deepened as he looked at Martha and saw her mother through her.
After a long time, he murmured, "Your nature is very much like your mother's. You don't admit defeat
when things go wrong, and you are very persistent."
"It is also because of that nature that she met me."
Martha smiled lightly and said, "Actually, I am more like you."
Maxwell heard this and let out a helpless sigh, with self-reproach in his eyes.
"If I hadn't become this way, you wouldn't have to bear so much yourself."
Martha smiled and shook her head, denying this self-blaming statement from her father.
"As your only daughter, these are the things I should do and the responsibilities I have to bear."
Likewise ...
'I, as my mother's daughter, have to take up her responsibilities for her.'
Martha had made up her mind about how she was going to face the future.
In fact ... it had always been clear to her that she would have to leave.
Only by leaving, Jimmy and his father and Bianca could really be safe.
It was because she could not let go that she hesitated to decide.
Now, she could no longer avoid the problem ...
