Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 158

“Jeremy, Stacey called out happily as she looked at Jeremy on the video call.

Jeremy hurriedly took his writing tablet and wrote: [I miss you so much!]

As expected. Stacey gazed at the writing tablet with a soft expression as she mused, Jeremy is so cute. With a smile, she responded, “I miss you, too.”

The next moment, Hayden took back the phone. Jeremy’s little body disappeared from the screen, and Hayden appeared, stating in a deep voice, Tm sorry. Jeremy seems to like you a lot I wonder if it caused you any trouble:”

Stacey quickly shook her head and explained, “Of course not. Jeremy is cute. He’s a well–behaved, thoughtful child. I really like him too.”

Meanwhile, in Hoggard Villa, Hayden forced Jeremy out of the camera, but he stood next to Hayden and could still hear their video call. When Hayden made negative remarks about him to Becky, his countenance grew unhappy. He glared at Hayden as he thought, ‘How could Daddy say that to Becky?‘ However, his expression soon brightened, and he turned delighted when he heard her compliment and liked him. Her remarks made him forget his anger from a while ago.

“Really?” Hayden asked with a smile. He saw Becky’s liking and acceptance of Jeremy as a positive development for him. Tve heard that you have two kids too. Can I meet them next time if there is a chance?” Hayden asked again.

Stacey mused, “My kids?” Her mood improved as she thought of Lillian and Kevin. She grinned and said with a nod, “Sure.”

Meanwhile, Lillian dashed over and leaped into Stacey’s arms like a small cannonball, shouting joyously, “Mom!” Stacey,” noticing her, hurriedly hugged her to prevent her from falling

On the other side, Jeremy also heard Lillian’s voice and wondered if it was hers. He couldn’t take it any longer, so he leaned closer to the camera and looked at her through the video call with Hayden.

Lillian wasn’t afraid because Stacey was holding her. She stretched out her head, wanting to peek at Stacey’s phone, and even reached for it with her short hands. She detected Stacey was on a video call and wanted to know who she was talking to at the moment. The children’s curiosity was never–ending, and she eventually snatched the phone, leaving Stacey feeling helpless.

After getting the phone, Lillian held it up happily and glanced at the two individuals on the video call. However, she was taken aback to see unfamiliar faces on it. “Who are you?” Lillian inquired, confused.

When Jeremy heard Lillian’s voice, he responded quickly and proceeded to write his name on the writing tablet, wanting to give her his name.

Looking at the little face in the video that resembled Becky, Hayden was likewise in a pleasant mood and introduced. himself. Tm Hayden, your mom’s friend.”

“What is a friend?” Lillian asked doubtfully.

Howard was at a loss for words.

Stacey hurriedly took back her phone, looked at Hayden in the video call, and explained, “Lily can be a little naughty at times. Please forgive her

“Same as Jeremy Hayden stated calmly, selling Jeremy out.

Jeremy had already finished writing his game. He was ready to show Lillian his writing tablet when he heard Hayden badmouthing him to Becky again, which disturbed him. He scolded inwardly, I’m not a naughty boy! I’m not! Bad Daddy!” He hurriedly erased his name from the writing tablet and wrote other words: [I’m a good boy!] When he was done, he pushed Hayden away, held up the writing tablet, and anxiously displayed it to Becky.

y saw the words on Jeremy’s writing tablet. She nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, you’re a good boy. Not naughty at

Stacey all.”

Upon hearing that, Jeremy nodded vigorously. He took the writing tablet and resumed writing, looking serious and frowning.

Stacey waited patiently until Jeremy completed writing before lifting it again, and it wrote: [Daddy is talking nonsense!] The words made her smile again. She couldn’t help but think Jeremy was so adorable.

After a lengthy and enjoyable talk, Hayden finally took the phon back. He looked at Becky in the video call and said with a smile, “You just got home, right? Jeremy and I should stop disturbing you now. Have a good rest.”

“Okay. Take care of yourselves, too, Stacey responded. After saying that, her mind went blank again. She thought something was wrong with her words. However, this was only a fleeting thought. She instantly dismissed the bizarre delusion in her heart.

The video call was ultimately ended, and both sides were made quiet.

Meanwhile, Patrick and Debra both turned to gaze at Stacey, Debra smiled, asking, “Did that kid from the Hoggard family call just now?”

Stacey nodded, replying, “Yes.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Patrick glanced at Debra, then Stacey, and smiled, stating, “Hay is quite good. He cares about you.”

Stacey reflected for a while and concluded that the Hoggard family was fairly good. Whether she went to Hoggard Manor to visit Jason and Sharon or to Strico to meet Hayden and Jeremy, she could tell they were all friendly. Perhaps it was because of their family values that people felt comfortable with them. “Hmm,” she said, nodding.

Then, Debra smiled and reminded Stacey, “You returned from Strico early this morning. Are you tired now? Why don’t you go back to your room and sleep for a while? As women, we should get adequate sleep so that we can preserve our beauty

forever.”

Stacey replied, “Okay.” She was indeed a little exhausted. She had a good time with Jeremy the previous night, but putting him to bed was tiring, which caused her to fall asleep very late at night. Moreover, she had to wake up early the next morning to catch a flight back to Hivalis.

Stacey then headed upstairs. Kevin remained mute and attempted to follow her up but was carried down by Debra.

Debra softened her voice and smile at Kevin, saying, “Let your mommy rest. She has worked for a long time and is very tired.

Blinking his eyes, Kevin looked at Debra in confusion.

“Why will she get very tired after working for so long?” Lillian asked. Although her pronunciation was considerably clearer, sometimes her words were sporadic, and she still spoke with a babyish accent

Debra didn’t know how to explain.

Patrick sat on the couch. Upon hearing the noise, he smiled and replied, “Because work needs energy, and using too much energy is exhausting”

Then, Mommy should stop working.” Kevin said. As a child, he didn’t think much and simply didn’t want Stacey to be exhausted and suffer.
