Chapter 225 He was really nice to her
Chapter 225 He was really nice to her
Joey had gotten a phone call from her son every day after work in the past three years. The little boy
had been too young to talk in the first two years and could only babble on the phone. But now he was
three years old, and he was a clever and naughty boy. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Joey had been touched by the call every single time, because it was always heart-warming to know
that there was someone waiting for her at home in this strange country, especially her son Sammy. She
knew she wouldn’t have been able to go through these past four years with him.
Philip had been really nice to her and her gratitude was beyond words. She had to admit that Philip
was a perfect young man, and he had loved her as much as she had loved Allen.
Her heart ached at the thought of Allen. She had missed her every day for over a thousand days since
she left him, especially when she was pregnant with Sammy. During those days, tortured by mood
swings and recurring bouts of depression, she had longed to go back to him. However, she had
hesitated when she recalled how she had lost her first baby. She knew she should carry on no matter
what. It would be best for her to stay far away from him for her baby, if not for herself. She couldn’t
allow herself to be selfish and stupid enough to give anyone the opportunity to hurt her second baby.
Philip had taken very good care of her back then. He was gentle, generous and wonderful.
She knew what Philip really wanted, but she couldn’t give it to him. So the better Philip had treated her,
the more ashamed she had become. But she couldn’t live without him, because a woman alone with
her three-year-old son wouldn’t be able to survive in a foreign country.
She went home by subway.
She took out the key at the door, but it was instantly opened by a little boy.
“Wow, Mommy is back. I knew it was Mommy. I could hear your footsteps.”
The boy cheered as he climbed up Joey like a little monkey in a tree. He gave her a big kiss on the left
cheek. With his delicate features, he was even prettier than a girl.
It was easy to see that his large, fluttering eyes were exactly like Joey’s.
“Sammy, my sweet boy, give Mommy one more kiss.”
With her beloved son in her arms, all the weariness of the day’s work was gone.
Just then, Philip came out of the kitchen with his apron on. He was handsome as four years ago, but
his temperament had changed a lot. He was a more collected, charismatic and mature man now.
He looked at her with a happy smile, as if she were his wife who had just returned home from work,
“Hey, where is the light soy sauce Sammy had just told you to buy on your way home?”
Joey realized that she had forgotten to buy it.
Before Philip said anything, the boy, who was wrapping his arms around Joey’s neck, frowned,
“Mommy forgot it again, didn’t she? Well, it seems Daddy isn’t the only silly person in our family.
Mommy, you’re silly, too.”
Joey patted the boy on the head and pretended to be angry, “Children should always be respectful to
their elders, remember?”
The boy was so young that he really thought his mother with a sullen face was angry with him. He
immediately nodded his head, “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again.”
“That’s a good boy!” Joey touched her son’s head with satisfaction. Fortunately, despite moving around
all these years and never staying in the same place for more than three months, Sammy had been
raised well. He was naughty, but reasonable and clever, which was very comforting for her.
“Never mind, I’ll make salted chicken.”
Watching Joey holding Sammy in her arms with a genuine smile on her face, Philip was very happy,
too.
Sammy was the only one who could make her laugh these years.
Joey put the boy down, “Let me help you.”
“No, thanks. Why don’t you go watch cartoons with Sammy in the living room? Dinner is ready in a
minute.”
Philip wanted her to take a break, because he knew how hard she had been working outside.
Modeling seemed glamorous, but it was actually very hard. Her feet were now sour and painful after a
day of walking around in high heels and changing clothes for several fashion shows.
