Chapter 1273
“Mr. Johnson, why don’t you wait at the gazebo for now.”
The servant led Remy to the gazebo and apologized profusely for the inconvenience caused.
Remy was a very understanding man, “It’s okay, why don’t you get back to your work.”
He sat down at a stone–carved table under the gazebo and placed the snacks he brought for Elisa
on the table.
He did not inquire what was going on inside the house.
Ever since he bought the villa next to the Stones, it gave him an excuse to regularly come over and pay a visit to
the Stones. At this point, most of the housemaids in the family recognized and treated him very politely. They would
respectfully invite him into the house every time he came around.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis time was the sole outlier where they did not invite him into the house immediately. He figured some sort of
emergency must have happened and decided to not be too probing, especially since he was an outsider.
If they would not tell him, he would not ask either.
After all, he was nothing more than a neighbor.
“Mr. Johnson, let me get you a glass of water.”
Although they were not letting him into the house yet, they still made sure to make him feel welcome.
Remy thanked the maid with a bright smile.
The servant stepped out of the gazebo and quickly marched into the house.
Inside the house, Clive’s parents were huddled together on the couch. Mr. Stone was doing what he could to
comfort his wife’s restlessness. “Clive is only doing this out of love for Alice, please don’t hold it against him. The
boy is not in a rational state of mind right now.”
Serenity poured a glass of water for Mrs. Stone.
Liberty and Elisa made Alice sit with them on the couch and remained on guard so Clive could not take her away.
Clive was ruffling his hair irritably.
Did he not want the child?
Of course he did. He wanted nothing more than to have a child with Alice, but her difficult pregnancy and her
severe condition were driving him insane. She would throw up everything she ate and had lost pienty of weight
since the start of the pregnancy. It was a very stressful experience for him as well.
The way he saw it, his wife’s well–being held priority over the unborn child.
Sonny approached Clive and stared curiously at his uncle. Something flickered in the little man’s eves like stars in
the night sky.
“Uncle!” Sonny greeted Clive warmly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClive looked at Sonny.
Sonny was a very healthy boy. His skin glowed with a bright red tint underneath and despite his young age, it
already seemed like he would grow into a handsome boy. He was adorable and looked like a human–sized doll that
stepped out of the storybooks.
Whenever people met him, they were filled with an urge to hug him tightly and shower him with affection.
Clive was not immune to Sonny’s charms either.
He carried Sonny in his arms.
“Uncle, are you feeling sad? Is everything ok?”
Sonny was very sensitive and felt Clive’s restless mood boiling inside him. He wrapped his arms. around Clive’s neck
and planted a gentle smooch on his cheeks to comfort him and said innocently, “Mom kisses me whenever I’m
feeling sad. It makes me feel better.
“Do you feel better now?”
Clive was completely enamored by Sonny’s innocent display of affection and smiled. He rubbed his cheek against
Sonny’s and said lovingly, “Uncle feels better for now.”
