Chapter 376 Daddy, Why Are You So Slow
Chapter 376 Daddy, why are you so slow
Time passed quickly, and in a flash, two days had passed.
In the past three days, the news search had been all about Stefan and Martha.
The day Stefan confessed his love, many media reporters were present, so they heard that Martha
would forgive Stefan if the latter could catch fireflies within three days.
Although now was late autumn, and about to winter.
But they believed Stefan, the city's most famous tycoon, could create a miracle.
So many people, waiting for further news, looked forward to the final result.
On the morning of the third day, Martha still saw a lot of news speculating about the final result.
She did not care about the news, in her opinion, this task was simply impossible to finish.
She had expected to leave for her mother's family three days ago, but she had to stay here for another
three days because of her promise to Stefan.
In the afternoon of that day, she was in her room, dealing with some matters of the Doyle Group.
When she thought of the task she assigned, she unconsciously raised her hand and glanced at her
wrist watch.
The time shown on the watch was 3:57 p. m. When she saw this, there was a weird look in her eyes.
After twelve o'clock tonight, this matter would be over.
Once the three days were up, Stefan would have no chance even if he really found that firefly.
She did not intend to forgive him, and did not want to have any more entanglement with him.
After this incident, he should be able to give up completely.
Martha's eyelids were lowered, and when she thought of this, her heart was filled with mixed feelings,
and she couldn't tell what she really felt.
After a long time, Eden's words suddenly came to her mind...
Stefan had been out of contact for 24 hours.
In the next second, the corners of her mouth were slightly curled into a self-mocking smile, and her
indifferent voice rang out in the room.
"Even if he's really missing, there are people who will go looking for him."
Martha forced down the strange feeling, the hand on the desk unconsciously tightened.
Tomorrow she would leave here, so now she needed to spend more time with Jimmy.
She really wanted to return after her responsibilities on her mother's family were completed.
But even Louis could not promise her that she could make it ...
She sighed helplessly and got up to walk downstairs.
When Martha came downstairs, Jimmy was lying on the sofa with his big eyes staring at the clock not
far away.
Jimmy was also waiting for Stefan to return, but the latter was late.
While watching the clock, he was silently chanting.
'Daddy, why are you so slow?
Why does catching fireflies take you so long?
If Daddy can't show up today, and Mommy has to go on a business trip tomorrow, they will miss each
other!'
Martha saw her son's look and knew what he was thinking.
She smiled helplessly, pretended not to know what he was thinking, and asked softly: "Does Jimmy
have something he wants to do this afternoon? Mommy can do it with you."
Jimmy tilted his head to look at his mommy, and after a long time, he gently shook his head and
refused.
"Let's stay home this afternoon, in case ..."
Daddy will be here soon?
If they go out, won't they miss Daddy?
Although Jimmy did not finish his words, Martha understood what he meant.
Jimmy obviously wanted her to get back together with Stefan, so she hoped the latter would show up in
the afternoon at the specified time.
It was just that ... she was trying to get Stefan to back off by giving Stefan this difficult task.
Martha helplessly went over and compassionately stroked the child's head, and for a while didn't know
whether to tell Jimmy that Stefan was not going to show up today.
After a long time, she finally said in a soft voice, "Jimmy, do you have anything you want to do at
home?"
Jimmy lying on the sofa heard this and blinked, looking at his mommy with a thoughtful look.
Martha was in no hurry, just smiling and looking at him, quietly waiting for him to speak.
Jimmy then raised his little face and looked at the woman standing in front of him with a look of
anticipation.
"Mommy, why don't we make dessert at home!"
Martha saw Jimmy so excited, dotingly stroked his head and nodded with a smile.
After the two decided, they soon started to act.
The kitchen had the usual utensils that Bianca used to make dessert, and Martha found them all after
asking Bianca where they were.
After discussing with Jimmy, she decided that the two of them would work together to make a cake.
Since Martha had learned how to make cakes before, so when she did it again, she didn't panic much.
She methodically put the cake embryo into the oven and taught Jimmy how to make the cream.
Jimmy accidentally got it on his little face when he was making the cream.
Martha smiled wickedly and dipped her hand into the cream and dabbed it on the little guy's nose.
"Jimmy really looks like a little cat."
"Then Mommy is a cat, too."
Jimmy replied with a smile, his big eyes filled with a sly look.
Martha gave a slight pause and laughed hopelessly.
"Jimmy is so smart."
"Yes."
Jimmy raised his head nonchalantly, and his little face was filled with a look of triumph.
After the two prepared everything for the cake, they took out the long-baked cake embryo and started
making the cake.
Jimmy saw the cake embryo and asked a question, somewhat bemused and puzzled.
"Mommy, how do I put the cream on it to make it look good?"
"Jimmy has never learned how to, but Mommy does."
After Martha said this, she smiled and placed the cake embryo on the shelf.
She skillfully used the tools and smeared the cream on top of the cake embryo, then turned the cake
stand.
Jimmy unconsciously made a shocked sound as he watched the cream, which was applied casually,
become flat under Mommy's operation.
"Wow, Mommy, you are so good."
"Jimmy can do it too, wanna try?"
Martha smiled and looked at Jimmy standing on the chair, her eyes smiling.
Jimmy looked at his mommy excitedly, and after a long time, righteously refused.
"No, Jimmy has not learned how, I will only make the cake ugly."
Martha looked at Jimmy dotingly, but felt that Jimmy should get involved.
After thinking about it, she said, "Then Mommy will be responsible for putting lace on the cake, and
Jimmy will draw on it, okay?"
"Yes, I will definitely draw it properly."
Jimmy immediately nodded happily, with a look of eagerness to try.
He felt he could draw well.
It didn't take long for Martha to finish the lace for the cake and prepare the buttercream and tools for
Jimmy to use for the painting.
After her instruction, Jimmy soon knew how to use the tools to paint the cake.
Martha smiled as she watched the little guy seriously standing in front of the cake, painting it, and
dotingly stroked his head.novelbin
This child has inherited her talent for drawing, and had a very good aesthetic and conceptual approach
to painting.
Half an hour later, Jimmy looked sideways at his mommy standing beside him and asked with a smile,
"Mommy, did I draw well?"
When Martha saw the painting, her eyes dimmed, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a faint
bitter smile, but she didn't let the child notice it.
The painting on the cake was a family portrait, a family of three holding hands and laughing happily...
