When Sansa Ran came out in the afternoon, Sansa Ran wanted to take Jeffrey with her, but he refused to go out with her and had to play at a friend’s house. So, Sansa Ran didn’t force him.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Dean Lan’s cell phone rang while he was looking at the contract in his office, and Dean Lan frowned slightly.
He didn’t like to be disturbed while he was working, so he just turned off his phone.
However, it didn’t take long for the phone to ring again, and Dean Lan impatiently had to pick it up and answer it.
“Dad, it’s Jeffrey, why didn’t you answer my call?” The first time I saw him, I was bored at his friend’s house, so I thought I’d call Dean Lan.
When Dean Lan heard that it was Jeffrey, his frown just now lifted, because he had just met Jeffrey not long ago, so he didn’t have Jeffrey’s phone number.
“Jeffrey ah! Dad was at work just now and didn’t know it was you, so he didn’t answer the phone.” Dean Lan said somewhat apologetically.
“Oh, so!” Jeffrey said in a mature adult tone, making Dean Lan, who was listening on the other end of the phone, laugh, thinking:This kid is so cute, I wonder if Justin, who is competing abroad, is the same as him.
“Jeffrey, what did you want to see me about, you didn’t hang out with your mom?” Dean Lan had some questions about Jeffrey calling for himself and the fact that Sansa Ran had gone out without Jeffrey, which made his mind grumble a bit about her.
“Well, my mom went to a friend’s house to see me and to take me out. I thought if I took my mom I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on playing, so I didn’t go.” Jeffrey was heartbroken for Sansa Ran and knew how tired and hard Sansa Ran had worked these past few years to take care of him and Justin.
“By the way, Dad. How are you and Mom doing after I go out for lunch?” Jeffrey called Dean Lan secretly while his mom was not at home, he went out at noon just to create an opportunity for the two of them on purpose.
“How can it be! Just a little better than before.” Dean Lan had a headache about the problem between himself and Sansa Ran, but he could not help but smile whenever he thought of Sansa Ran.
“Dad, come on! Be sure to stay with mom. Mom has suffered a lot for Justin and me these past few years, but has endured it all alone. However, I believe you can take care of her and us.”
Jeffrey’s face, which was usually full of joy when he thought of Sansa Ran’s hardships, also slowly creased and his eyes filled with tears.
When Dean Lan heard Jeffrey’s words, his heart suddenly ached for Sansa Ran, a woman, and he secretly resolved to give her happiness.
Dean Lan was worried that Jeffrey would be bored at home, so he asked him, “Jeffrey, do you want to go out with me?”
“You have to work, don’t you? Forget it, I’m fine at home by myself.” Jeffrey was happy to hear that Dean Lan wanted to take him out to play, but he refused when he thought he had to work.
“It’s okay, I’m in charge of the company. You wait for me at home, I’ll pick you up later.” Dean Lan listened to Jeffrey’s voice that was somewhat expectant but afraid of disturbing his work and refused, thinking that Jeffrey was really too understanding.
After the phone call hung up, Dean Lan quickly finished reading the information in his hand, and after signing several documents that his secretary had sent while he was on the phone, he told his secretary: “Cancel all my trips this afternoon and arrange another time, I have something very important to do now.”
“Mr. Lan, this …” the secretary was very surprised, Dean Lan rarely postpone his schedule, but today’s afternoon meetings are very important.
“Don’t be this… that, I’ll take the blame for any cancellation.” Dean Lan was in a hurry to pick up Jeffrey, so his voice was a little louder.
The secretary had to promise Dean Lan, but also told him that the two meetings in the afternoon were very important, and that he could only work overtime in the evening and could not push it to tomorrow.
Dean Lan agreed and left the company.
Half an hour later, Jeffrey was watching TV at home when Dean Lan’s voice rang at the door.
“Daddy, you’re here, come on in!” Jeffrey’s two short legs went quickly to the door and opened the door and said happily.
“Jeffrey, what are you doing in the house?” Dean LanJeffrey picked up and asked.
“Watching TV while waiting for you to pick me up!”
Jeffrey and Dean Lan took a break at home and left together, Jeffrey was excited and happy in the afternoon.
Dean Lan accompanied Jeffrey to the ice cream store to eat ice cream with Jeffrey and bought him two handsome outfits at the clothing store. When he was leaving at the end, he remembered that he forgot to buy something and took Jeffrey to look for it.
After the shopping, Dean Lan bought Jeffrey a lot of delicious food, because he had to go back to the office for a meeting, and thought that Sansa Ran should also go home soon after dark, so he sent Jeffrey home.
But, “Jeffrey, mommy hasn’t come back yet, you must be safe at home alone, don’t run out, wait for mommy to come back!” Sansa Ran hadn’t come home yet, so Dean Lan was uneasy and explained to Jeffrey again and again.
“Don’t worry dad, I’ll be good, mom has said these things many times.” In the past, when only Sansa Ran, JeffreyJustin lived together, Sansa Ran went out to work and would always explain.
“Well, then I’ll go first.” Dean Lan was then somewhat relieved to go back to the office.
In addition, Sansa Ran, who was shopping with Charmaine Qiu at the mall, looked at the late hour and thought about Jeffrey at home.
“Charmaine, it’s getting late, Jeffrey is still waiting for me at home, I should go home too.” The two of them had agreed to go to dinner together before going home, but now they had to go home early.
“All right then! Then next time you have to take Jeffrey out with you, I’m looking forward to seeing Jeffrey, oh and Justin too,” Charmaine Qiu said with a little pout and a little pity, but was understanding of Sansa Ran.
“Uh-huh, definitely.” Sansa Ran nodded her head vigorously.
“Well, where is your home? I’ll take you back.” Charmaine Qiu asked.
Sansa Ran gave Charmaine Qiu her home address, so Charmaine Qiu drove her home. When they arrived at Sansa Ran’s house, they said goodbye to each other and went home.
“Jeffrey, mommy is back.” Sansa Ran was excited to see her son after not seeing him for almost a day, and called out loudly to him the moment she entered the door.
But Jeffrey walked up to Sansa Ran with a disgusted look on his face and said in a disgusted tone, “Mom, your voice is disturbing the neighbors.”
However, Sansa Ran did not listen to Jeffrey and picked him up in his arms. With a quick sweep of her eyes she saw one more thing on the dining table.
“Jeffrey, what’s with this rice cooker?” Sansa Ran asked Jeffrey as she walked to the table in confusion and took a look.
“Dad came to take me out this afternoon, and then he said the rice cooker at home was too small to cook for four people, so he went to Appliance City to buy a new one.”
Jeffrey told Sansa Ran what Dean Lan had bought with him this afternoon, especially the reason for buying a rice cooker.
Sansa Ran listened to it, the corners of his mouth tinged with a smile, his heart was so annoying and warm for this move of Dean Lan.
