Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 89

"Five." Ellis was depressed. "I don't know many words, and Benjamin wouldn't teach me, so I can't do anything about it."

I reached out to rub his head and said softly, "Aunty will find some time to teach you, and Uncle Bob will teach you as well."

"Yes, but Uncle Bob doesn't allow me to call him uncle."

"Then what are you supposed to call him?" I asked curiously.

"Brother Bob, Bob, Glover," Ellis said as he frowned, "Anything except uncle."

I was speechless. Then I looked up at Benjamin and asked, "Why don't you teach him reading?" There was a hint of blame in my tone.

After a moment of silence, Benjamin sat by Sean's side.

When Sean saw that the situation was about to go south, she immediately found an excuse to leave. In the following time, I silently cut steak for Ellis.

After dinner, Benjamin sent me home. After he left, I realized that he didn't say a word today.

Was he angry with me?

As soon as I thought about it, I found it funny!

What right did he have to pull a long face to me?

After returning to the apartment, I felt empty in my heart. In the vast City B, I felt extraordinarily lonely in my heart.

It was quite late when I turned on Twitter and wanted to check Benjamin's posts.

I thought he would still block me from his posts.

Benjamin posted a photo!

There were words above the photo, "Kis's five."

It was a picture of Ellis.

There were a lot of comments below.

"Happy birthday from Teresa."

"Happy birthday from Victoria."

"Happy birthday from Sean."

"Happy birthday from Connor."

The comments were very consistent, but I choked with sobs that I could not speak!

Benjamin, Sean, and not even Ellis himself told me that it was his birthday.

I remembered that I had a child, but I couldn't remember when I gave birth to him, and I even ignored him again and again!

I suddenly felt very guilty. This kind of guilt was like a tide that was overwhelming, making me feel endless sorrow in my heart.

I immediately put on my clothes and took a taxi to the apartment of Benjamin, but the door was closed. I thought they might be at the Dunn family.

But I didn't know where the Dunn family was!

I still knew nothing about Benjamin's real life.

I called Sean, but no one answered. At this time, I was a little anxious and decided to Benjamin.

But still no one answered!

They seemed to be doing this to me on purpose!

I had no choice but to call Zack. When he picked it up, I asked for the Dunn family's address. He was stunned and then answered, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone for a minute, I received a text message from Zack. I hurried downstairs to stop a taxi and went to the mall according to this address.

I picked up a high-end smartwatch and asked the salesclerk to pack it up. Then I rushed to the Duan's house.

"The Dunn family was having a birthday party.

I couldn't wait to go in, but I knew I might not even have the right to get into the house.

I was so anxious waiting in the taxi. Time passed by, and it was almost 12 o'clock when the Dunn family set off fireworks!

I got out of the car and wanted to go in, but the tightly closed door stopped my footsteps. And if I went in like this, I would definitely be thrown out!

I returned to the car and waited. Then I saw Victoria walking out while holding Teresa's hand. They were laughing and talking as they left.

I was stunned, and my heart was full of sorrow.

It was ten to twelve. I looked down at the present in my hand and realized that I might've bought it for nothing.

How sad and pathetic a mother I was, not even able to wish my son happy birthday or give him the present I bought him.

At this time, my phone rang, and I turned my head to look at the Dunn family's door. Sean called me.

I opened the door, got out of the car, and stood in front of him.

Sean asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Why didn't you answer my call?" I asked.

Sean explained, "We were just partying, so I didn't notice."

From the looks of him, he did not know that I was Ellis's mother.

I handed the gift to him and said, "There are still eight minutes before the end of Ellis's birthday. Can you give it to him for me?"

Sean hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it. "The Dunn family's elders are all here. I'll take it in for you. You..."

Perhaps he wanted to say that since the elders of the Dunn family were there, it was not suitable for me to enter. In the end, Sean was just hoping that I wouldn't embarrass myself.

Sean took the gift and went in. I took a taxi back to the apartment and lay down on the bed, tears welling up in my eyes.

I was weak after all. I completely broke down on my own son's birthday, after knowing that no one would care to tell me that it was his birthday.

I knew it. Benjamin wanted to punish me.

He was trying to make me feel bad!

Everything he said was fake, he wouldn't pursue me or give me romantic love.

He was full of lies, but I just took all of his lies seriously.

I curled up into a ball and buried myself under the blanket. The ringtones on my phone rang out over and over again, but I ignored them!

When I woke up the next morning, my throat was a little hoarse. After coughing a few times, I realized that I caught a cold in the summer.

I put on my thick coat and went to the police station. The crime squad was also having a morning meeting, discussing sending three people to Glestin for a business trip.

I knew the so-called business trip was just a cover for the investigation into the smuggling case back in that year.

Laurelie said, "We are twins, he's also twenty."

I couldn't believe it. Why did a 20-year-old man look so mature? His momentum was no inferior to that of Benjamin or Zack.

The matureness of Lawrence came from the temperament!

I suddenly felt that Weier family's genes were particularly good.

When I was thinking about how old I was, Bob handed me the water and medicine in his hand and said, "I forgot. Zack told me that you had a cold, so he asked me to remind you to take medicine!"

I only met Zack once today when we were having the meeting. He was as careful as ever. I peeked at Laurelie, who was laughing as she looked at her brother scrolling down on his cell phone.

I took the medicine and swallowed it. Then I heard a question from Laurelie. "Who's this guy sending you kissing emoji?"

Lawrence said lightly, "A nine-year-old kid. Her brother is my comrade-in-arms, I don't really know her."

Laurelie smiled but didn't say anything else, but I felt that there was a gossip storm in her eyes, as if she was secretly happy.

It was already night when they arrived in Glestin.

Lawrence left us and drove to the army compound. The three of us found a hotel to stay in and would go for the investigation the next day.

I went to the hotel and turned on my phone. I saw a lot of missed calls, all of which were made by Benjamin in the middle of the night before.

I blocked his number, but his calls could still get through.

Was there something wrong with my phone?

I went to a cell phone store with doubts. The clerk said, "There is no problem, but it's time to get a new phone."

I bought this phone while I was on a pretty tight budget and it was a quite cheap one. Hearing the clerk's words, I decided to buy a new one.

The new phone cost me a month's salary.

I put the SIM card in and uploaded the contact book. When I returned to the hotel, I saw Bob and Laurelie drinking coffee in the hall.

"Do you guys even sleep?" I asked.

Laurelie said, "I'm thinking about something."

"What, Lau... Officer Weier?"

I almost called her Laurelie.

"Zack called me just now, which confused me a lot."

When I saw Bob's pale face, I asked, "What are you confused about?"

"He asked me, what do I like about him?"

"And then?"

Laurelie didn't say anything else.

I asked Bob, "What happened then?"

"How do I know? She won't tell me!" Bob said angrily.

"He sincerely asked what I liked about him and said that he'd be more than willing to change whatever that is."

I burst into laughter.
