Unwanted Marriage: Honey, No More Divorce!

Chapter 325: How Could He Give Up These Two Lovely And Understanding Children

"I can’t, really," Wendy shook her head as she remembered how scared she felt earlier.

"Leah." Jake turned his head to look at Leah, winked, and said, "Mummy’s not looking, so let’s cry together."

When Wendy heard this, she froze for a moment. What in the world did Jake mean by crying together?

As soon as Jake’s words left his mouth, Jake and Leah cried out loudly. This cry was clearly tinged with laughter. Wendy couldn’t stop laughing.

"I will look, okay?" Wendy took a deep breath and gripped the side railing tightly with her hands as she looked down with a serious and determined gaze.

Her legs went weak, and she was scared as ever.

The two children behind her were trying to cheer her on by saying, "Mummy, don’t be afraid!"

Wendy took a deep breath again. She controlled her fear and did not retract her gaze at the first moment.

When she got a second look, Wendy found that the scenery below was really different from what she usually saw.

"Mummy, isn’t it beautiful?" Jake and Leah stood on both sides of Wendy with their little hands taking her hands and looking out with her.

Wendy’s gaze softened as the beauty in front of her made her temporarily forget her fear of heights.

"It’s really quite beautiful," Wendy said with a smile. "I’ve been on the Ferris wheel several times, but it’s the first time I’ve seen this kind of view, and it’s completely different from what I usually see."

"Of course, it’s different. We’re used to looking at it from a horizontal perspective, but here we have a bird’s eye view of the entire ground," Jake chuckled.

Wendy reached out and stroked Jake’s little head.

The Ferris wheel was already slowly descending.

"Timothy, do you want to see it too?" Wendy turned her head, looked at Timothy who was still afraid to look, and urged him, "It’s really quite beautiful."

"Grandpa, go take a look, or the Ferris wheel will soon be lowered. On the Ferris wheel, the higher you go, the better the view," Jake said.

"I, I, I... " Timothy was so scared he started to stutter.

"Timothy, I’m afraid of heights too, but you see, I’m not as scared as I used to be." Wendy turned her head and reached out to pull Timothy along as she said, "There really is a different view."

Timothy was forced to stand with Wendy with his eyes closed and was a little afraid.

But thinking about how Wendy, afraid of heights, was brave enough to take this first step, he opened his tightly closed eyes, just a little slit, and looked off into the distance from the corner of his eye.

"Timothy, just don’t stare right at the bottom of your feet," Todd said. "The Ferris wheel isn’t really that high, so you’ll be fine at this height."

Timothy saw some of the views from the corner of his eye, but he couldn’t really see everything clearly.

Slowly, the Ferris wheel had descended halfway, and the height was not so high.

Slowly, Timothy also opened all his eyes.

"It’s really beautiful," Timothy didn’t think he would ever, one day, be able to take this step.

Behind them, there was applause from Todd and the others, who complimented, "Timothy is awesome."

"Grandpa, bravo."

The Ferris wheel slowly went down, and they left.

Timothy, who had taken the first brave step, was much happier after getting off the Ferris wheel.

He said with a big smile, "High places are not so scary after all, hahahahahaha."

Looking at Timothy’s smug look, Todd couldn’t even rain on his parade.

When he looked, the Ferris wheel was already coming down.

However, it was good for him to take the first step.

...

After they left the Ferris wheel, they also played some other things.

When they were tired of playing and it was evening, Timothy took them to dinner.

Timothy had already booked a restaurant. It was not a fancy five-star hotel, but a barbecue stand that they all liked.

In Rheinsville City, it was hard to find such a good and authentic barbecue stand.

Jake and Leah were both born and raised in Rheinsville City, but neither one of them liked the food in Rheinsville City, and both liked Lake City’s cuisine.

Growing up, Timothy and Todd often took them to find delicious places to eat.

Over the past few years, Leah and Jake’s favorite place has been this barbecue stand.

In the past, Wendy did not often bring the children to eat, because she was too busy, and the second reason was that eating barbecue excessively was not healthy, not to mention that they were children.

Today, of course, she did not stop them.

After Wendy and Leah had a frank talk about Michael, she was also happy.

At this moment, she ran to the barbecue stand and shouted sweetly with joy, "We want to order barbecue ..."

Leah’s feet only reached the barbecue cart, and her little hands reached and reached but could not reach it.

Wendy walked up and knowing what she liked to eat, she took some of everything.

When the owner saw them, he smiled and greeted them warmly as he said, "It’s been a while since you’ve been here, have you been busy lately?"

The owner was familiar with them.

Their appearance was too beautiful.

He had always thought that Wendy and Todd and the others were a family of five.

Once, after chatting for a few minutes, they realized they were not. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"I’ve been busy lately." Wendy answered politely.

The owner, not a very talkative person, nodded with a smile and went to prepare the barbecue for them.

Soon, the barbecues were brought up one after another.

Todd ordered a few cans of beer.

Jake’s eyes lit up when he saw the beer.

Wendy turned to him and said, "Don’t think about it."

Jake was going to ask him if he could have a sip.

Before he could say anything, Wendy stopped him.

Jake was a young boy, but he liked to drink. Wendy remembered that last year, he dragged Leah to drink and got her so drunk that she suffered for days.

Wendy was afraid to put alcohol in her house, for fear that Jake would secretly get drunk at some point.

Jake’s eyes darkened all of a sudden and said, "Fine ..."

Jake’s tone of voice carried some complaint as well as helplessness.

Leah happily ate the barbecue, while Jake occasionally eyed them drinking.

The beer cans collided together and made loud noises.

In the beginning, they were eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

In the latter part, Timothy drank some alcohol and the topic began to change.

"Corrine, I know everything about what happened in Lake City. Do you have any plans for your return this time?" Timothy’s face was a little flushed. Although he wasn’t drunk, the alcohol had some effect, so he was talkative at the moment and couldn’t stop.

Wendy was afraid that someone would talk to her about this matter.

With her head bowed, Wendy said, "I don’t have any plans. I’ll just take one step at a time."

"Then come back to HG. I have been waiting for you to come back. I have two disciples in my life, and one has already set up his own business, why don’t you consider coming back to help me." Timothy said happily, "You can continue to lead the new project. You promised me that you would continue to lead the project anyway, and now that you are back at HG, it’s a good time and I feel at ease with you."

Todd saw that Wendy’s expression was not so good, so he reached over and grabbed the beer can from Timothy’s hand and said, "You’re good at everything, but you talk a little too much when you drink. Let’s not talk about that today. Let’s talk about how we’re going to celebrate Leah and Jake’s birthday."

Timothy wasn’t drunk and knew what Todd meant, and knew it wasn’t really the right time to force Wendy to come back.

He laughed and said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, what do you guys want to do for your birthday?"

Jake, not really big on birthdays, shook his head and said, "Anything is fine."

Leah smiled and showed her teeth as she said, "I want to spend it with daddy. Is that okay?"

When Timothy heard this, he turned his head to look at Wendy with some awkwardness.

With her current relationship with Michael, they were celebrating their birthday together?

Just when Timothy didn’t know how to answer, Wendy said, "As long as daddy is free, he will spend it with Leah."

No matter how bitter and bloody the relationship between Wendy and Michael was, she didn’t want to expose it to her children.

If she could, Wendy would still want to give Leah a good childhood.

"Then can I call Daddy and ask him then?" Leah asked with anticipation.

Wendy nodded her head.

Leah was even happier when she got Wendy’s answer and reached out to pick up a barbecue and handed it to Wendy and said, "Mommy, eat this. This is delicious ..."

After a long day of playing, Leah and Jake were both tired of playing.

After they went home from the barbecue, they took a shower and went to bed.

Wendy was also very tired and went back inside and fell asleep.

This was the best sleep Wendy had had in a long time.

Wendy sent Jake and Leah back to their old kindergarten.

It made little difference where Jake went to kindergarten; with his intelligence, he was already well ahead of his peers.

Leah, however, was not as happy as she had been in Lake City.

Several times, Leah was disappointed that she didn’t have her daddy to pick her up after school.

Time passed by day by day. Wendy would go to work at HG from time to time, but instead of getting up early and working hard like before, she would only go when she had something to do and stay home to draw designs when she didn’t.

Soon, it was three days before Leah and Jake’s birthday.

"Mommy, can you call Daddy and ask him if he’s free to come to Rheinsville City?" Leah kept this on her mind.

"Sure." Wendy nodded and handed the phone to Leah. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Thanks, Mommy." Leah happily took the phone and dialed the familiar number.

The call was quickly answered.

Michael looked at the familiar caller ID and frowned.

Wendy had called him?

This really surprised him.

He thought that Wendy would not call him voluntarily anymore.

"Daddy ...."

When Michael heard it was Leah’s voice, he was both happy and disappointed.

Michael said, "Leah, are you still awake?" Michael thought about how it was already ninety o’clock at night on Leah’s end.

"No." Even through the phone, Leah’s breezy, childish voice conveyed joy as she said, "Daddy, are you free in three days? Can you come to Rheinsville City to celebrate Leah and Jake’s birthday? I haven’t seen you in a long time."

Michael said, "Is that what Mommy wants?" Michael didn’t know if the call was something Wendy had agreed to make, or if Leah had called secretly.

"Yes, it was Mommy’s idea." Leah immediately answered crisply.

When he heard that, Michael frowned.

He had done so much to keep Wendy away from Lake City.

If Wendy had agreed for him to go to Rheinsville City to celebrate the children’s birthday, then it meant that Wendy didn’t hate him that much.

Once their relationship warmed up and Christian found out about it, Wendy would be in danger.

Christian was capable of doing anything.

Wendy was not far from Leah and could hear what Michael said on the other side of the phone. Coupled with Leah’s answer, Wendy sulked and reached out to bring the phone over.

"Michael, you should know very well that according to my character, I am not likely to initiate another phone call to you in my life. But ..." Wendy sighed somewhat helplessly as she said, "The child is innocent, and I don’t want Leah to be moping all the time."

Hearing this from Wendy, Michael sighed with relief.

It seemed she was still angry.

"I was going to go to Rheinsville City in a couple of days for their birthdays too, and I, as a father, haven’t spent any birthdays with my children." Michael said, "But I didn’t dare to tell you because I was afraid you would be angry and not let me see the kids. I thought I would go secretly, and even if you found out and didn’t allow me to see them, I would at least see them. Now that you’ve agreed for me to accompany the children on their birthdays, I’m sure I’ll come."

Michael did think so.

However, what he wanted was for no one to know that he had come to Lake City, including Christian.

Now that Wendy had taken the initiative to let him come, it would seem problematic for Michael not to come instead.

"That’s it." After saying that, Wendy hung up the phone.

Leah tilted her head to look at Wendy’s unhappy expression, and the smile on her face slowly faded away.

"Mommy, do you not want daddy to come?" Although Leah was young, she was still able to detect Wendy’s mood change.

Wendy remembered that just now, she didn’t pay attention to her control of emotions. She squatted down and felt a bit chagrined.

Reaching out to hug Leah, Wendy said in as gentle a tone as possible, "As long as Leah is happy, Mommy will be happy."

"But Leah can feel that you’re not happy, Mommy." Leah pouted.

"Didn’t Mommy tell Leah? Daddy and Mommy aren’t as happy together as they used to be, but Leah is happy with Daddy. So Mommy won’t take away Leah’s happiness, and Leah shouldn’t force Mommy and Daddy to be happy together when they are together, okay?"

Leah blinked her big eyes as if she understood her words, and as if she didn’t.

In the end, she nodded in a semi-confused manner.

Reaching out to hug Wendy’s neck, Leah asked again, "Mommy, are you going to be mad when Daddy comes?"

"If you’re going to be mad, then Leah will just ..." Leah said with some difficulty, "I’m not going to let daddy come."

"With that statement, Mommy won’t get mad." Wendy kissed Leah’s cheeks, then carried her to bed and said gently, "It’s late. Mommy will tell you a bedtime story, okay?"

"Okay ..." Leah picked up a book of bedtime stories from the bed, turned to one of the pages, handed it to Wendy and said, "Mommy will tell you this story. In the past, daddy used to tell me this story. "

When she heard this, Wendy’s hand, which was holding the book of bedtime stories, stiffened for a moment.

Wendy smiled and shook her head.

Everything was obviously happy and rosy, and even if Michael gave up on Wendy, how could he give up these two lovely and understanding children?
