Upon hearing this, Shane quickly came to his senses and looked at his watch. "He finishes school at three o’clock.”
"Three o’clock?" Yvonne lowered her head and glanced at her watch. "It's half-past two now. I'll go
first."
"I’ll go with you. It's not convenient for you to carry your luggage and take care of Theo at the same time," Shane said while pointing at her suitcase.
After thinking about it, Yvonne didn't refuse but she smiled and agreed, "Okay, thank you."
"Don’t worry about it. I'm Theo's godfather anyway.” Shane took out his car key from the drawer and shook it.
Yvonne got up from the chair. "Let’s go then."
As she spoke, she was going to put the suitcase in the corner.
When Shane saw this, he quickly pulled the luggage over. "Let me do it."
Yvonne hummed and left the office first.
On the way, Yvonne asked about Theo in the past half month.
Shane answered her questions one by one.
Half a month ago when Yvonne decided to return to Canada, she first sent Theo back to Shane so that he could take care of him for a period of time. She only had the time to come back after she handed all her work abroad.
As for how she met Shane, it all started five years ago. 1
Her health deteriorated rapidly five years ago, after Theo’s full moon. In order to save her, the Smith family immediately arranged for a kidney replacement operation. The doctor who did the operation was Shane’s professor and Shane happened to come to his mentor for medical advice at that time. When he saw her information by chance, he immediately recognized her as the daughter of the Smith family, Shannon Smith.
After her surgery, he approached her and asked her what was going on. He asked about how she survived and why she didn't tell him that she was alive.
She didn’t answer all of his questions, except for the question on how she survived.
Although he was disappointed, he didn’t force her. Since then, he often went abroad to find her with the Smith family. He even participated in her skin grafting surgery along with Dr. Peter.
So she really appreciated him in these five years!
Shane didn’t know what Yvonne was thinking. He glanced at her through the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "Theo will be very happy to know that
you're back."
Yvonne gathered her thoughts and came back to reality, but she wasn’t happy. On the contrary, she was worried. "Maybe, but he can’t show it even if he’s happy..."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Shane’s face slowly disappeared and was replaced with a heavy
expression. "It's going to be alright. Theo is still young, so he’ll be fine. Don't worry and give him some time."
Yvonne forced a smile. "I know."
Soon, they arrived at Sunshine Hills.
When Yvonne got out of the car, she heard the school bell ringing.
Right when she was about to go to the entrance and wait for her child to come out like other parents, the mobile phone in her bag rang.
She frowned, then she took out her mobile phone and took a look. Her expression became sullen.
Upon seeing this, Shane asked, "What's the matter?"
Yvonne pursed her lips and explained, "A client who didn’t agree with our terms is calling. He’s probably going to ask for a rebate."
Shane raised his chin. "Is it urgent?"
"Yes. It's related to the sales target this year. If I don't solve it in time, I won't be able to hand over the work overseas.”
"Then you should go back to the car and answer the phone. It’s quiet there. I'll pick Theo up." Shane handed her the car key.
Yvonne glanced at him. After seeing the understanding in his eyes, she nodded. "Okay, I'm sorry about troubling you."
"It's alright." He waved his hand.
