Chapter 1182: We will leave our boy to you.
“Haaaa!”
Pei Ge, who had just climbed in bed and was preparing to sleep, did not expect someone to come knocking at her door in the middle of the night!
After taking off her eye mask, she climbed out of her bed in annoyance.
Looking dark, she walked to the front door.
Click!
When she opened the door with a pissed expression, what she saw was...
“Aye? Aren’t you... the Ji family’s chauffeur?”
She paused when she saw the middle-aged man standing outside her door.
Isn’t this the driver who brought me and Ji Ziming out of his family’s villa the other day?
Why is he outside my door this late at night?
“Good evening, ma’am. I was the driver who sent you to your company last time.”
“I know; I know.” She quickly nodded before looking at the man with puzzlement.
“Why are you here so late at night, though? Is something the matter?”
“It’s like this...”
An anxious look appeared on her face once she heard his words.
“Are you telling the truth? Your little master has been crying even now?”
“Yes, ma’am. Little master has been crying non-stop even now. If not for my master and madam not having any other choice, they wouldn’t ask me to come over. They really have no other choice...”
The driver had a helpless and worried look. Without hesitation, she went to get her things in her room to go with the driver to the Ji family’s house.
“Wait a moment here; I’ll leave after changing clothes!”
“Yes, ma’am! Thank you very much!”
At her confirmation, the driver quickly whipped out his phone and called his master and madam to inform them.
Soon, Pei Ge exited her room with new clothes and followed the driver in the car. They then quickly moved toward the Ji family’s villa.
As it was night, there were few cars on the road. Hence, with the driver speeding, they quickly reached their destination.
This time, the place she had come was not the villa earlier.
Instead, it was the family’s main villa, which she had visited many times in the past.
Under the moonlight, she gazed at this familiar yet foreign villa.
She did not know why, but she thought of that night before they got married.
That night’s moon was as round as today’s...
“Ma’am, we are here.”
The driver’s voice pulled her back from her distant and sorrowful memories.
Pei Ge, all those things are in the past.
It’s been five years. Forget about it.
“Mhm.”
Her lips turned up a little as she cast all her nonsensical thoughts aside and followed the driver inside.
She followed the servants, as though it were her first time here, to the child’s room.
After walking some distance, she reached the child’s room.
She had yet to enter the room, but she could already hear him crying in a hoarse voice.
“Waaahhh...”
The hoarse wailing made her heart feel as it was hanging on a string.
Don’t tell me... he’s been crying since we ended our talk on the walkie-talkie earlier?
From that time up to now... it’s been several hours!
Thinking of this, she quickly walked into his bedroom.
“Boy!” she called out in a fluster.
“Miss Regina, you’re finally here!”
The moment she spoke, the child, who had his face buried under the blankets and was crying, shook. He then slowly peeked his head out in disbelief.
After confirming that she was really present, he quickly turned his head to face the other way in an obvious manner.
She felt pained and amused at the sight of the child throwing a tantrum.
“No matter how much we comforted him, this little rascal just wouldn’t stop crying, so we could only be thick-skinned and seek your help.”
Mister Ji, who had never spoken this humbly, looked at her imploringly, looking slightly embarrassed.
Noticing their anxiety, she nodded slightly. “It’s fine. If I knew that he’s been crying nonstop, I’d come over myself without needing an invitation.”
She reassured them before walking to the child’s side fast.
“Boy! My dear boy, auntie is here...”
She sat by the child’s side and softly coaxed the boy, whose head was turned away.
“I don’t wanna see you...”
Hearing her coaxing, the child finally stopped crying as his muffled voice came from under the blankets.
Both his grandparents sighed in relief when he finally stopped crying.
Their eyes met as they then directed their eyes at Pei Ge with a smile.
“We’ll leave our baby boy to you. It’s already very late tonight, so you should just stay here for the night. You can directly let the housekeepers know if you need anything.”
“Yes. We’ll have to trouble you for today. We’re leaving now; do inform us if you need anything.”
She slightly nodded at them, replying in an equally soft voice, “Please go ahead and take a rest. You can leave him to me.”
No matter what, he’s cried for so long because of me, so I should take responsibility at least.
Hence, after her nod, everyone exited the bedroom.
Only she and the little child were left in this huge bedroom.
She eyed the boy who had his head turned away, refusing to look at her, and then remained seated next to him on the bed. Lifting her hand, she rubbed his head.
“Alright. Don’t be angry with me anymore.”
She gently consoled him while rubbing his soft hair.
“Hmph!”
The boy lightly snorted. Still, his snort had gotten softer—an indication that his indignance had lightened.
“Sigh! I’m really heartbroken here; my baby is actually ignoring me.”
She blinked in amusement and muttered, pretending to be heartbroken, when she saw the child’s head move and seem to be about to turn her way.
“...”
The little fella’s head moved slightly again, but he still did not turn around.
Her lips split into an amused smile when she saw how stubborn at holding a grudge against her the boy was.
“Fine, fine, fine. Since our precious baby doesn’t wanna see me, I can only go home with a broken heart and sleep!”
