My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1422

Winnie raised her voice and shouted, "Lawrie, your Mommy is here."

Lawrie still did not move. He was curled up into a ball, looking very lonely.

Vanessa said, "Miss Ziglar, sorry to have troubled you with Lawrie lately. I will bring him to Chatterton Town today and take care of him during the weekends. You can deal with your own matters first. Once you come to Chatterton Town, contact me."

Winnie nodded and said, "Have a good chat with Lawrie. He has been behaving that way for the past few days. He doesn't play with his friends nor talk to anyone. He just hides alone in the corner. It's really heart-wrenching to see him like this."

"Okay," Vanessa came to Lawrie's side and squatted down. She tenderly took Lawrie into her arms and asked, "Lawrie, what's wrong? Why didn't you say anything when you saw me? Are you angry with me?"

In the past, as long as Vanessa hugged him, he would definitely bury himself in her arms. His excitement would be reflected in his actions. However, he now seemed different. Even when Vanessa held him in her arms, he did not respond much.

"Lawrie..." Vanessa held Lawrie and looked at him to check if he was hurt. She coaxed him to talk to her, "Lawrie, if you are not feeling well, please tell me. What's wrong?"

"Mommy, you don't want me anymore, so I don't want you either," Finally, Lawrie said this with reddened eyes. His voice was its usual child- like tone, but it was drenched with a kind of panic and sadness that should not be experienced by a child his age.

"My silly son, you are my sweetheart. You're everything to me. How could I not want you?" Vanessa hugged Lawrie tighter and said, "I will take you to Chatterton Town to live with me."

"Mommy, you're lying. I don't believe you," Adults often said things casually and forget about it. They would think that children would not remember when in truth, children could recall all the promises these adults had broken. This was the case for Lawrie.

Vanessa would occasionally forget what she had promised Lawrie. However, the little boy actually remembered everything. When she did not fulfill her promise, he would think that she was deceiving him.

"Then... What can I do to make you believe me?" Vanessa asked patiently.

"Hmm..." Lawrie tilted his head and thought for a while, "If you give me a kiss, I'll believe you."

After all, Lawrie was a three-year-old child. As long as his mother was by his side, giving him kisses, he would happily forget all his troubles and fall into her arms.

Vanessa held Lawrie and ruffled his hair. She gave him a kiss on the cheek which finally made him happy. Then, she said, "Lawrie, come on. Let's pack up and go to Chatterton Town together."

"Okay," Finally, he could be with his Mommy. Lawrie was so happy that he wanted to bring all the toys with him, but in the end, he did not bring anything.

In his opinion, it was good enough with his Mommy by his side. What if he brought too many toys and annoyed his mother? Then, she would abandon him again!

In order not to make her abandon him, he was determined to be an obedient and sensible good boy. It didn't matter if he had the toys with him... The most important thing was to have his Mommy around.

As she wanted Lawrie to get used to Chatterton Town as soon as possible, Vanessa brought him back to Chatterton Town that night itself.

She had time to take care of Lawrie during the weekends, so she gave Winnie two days off. Vanessa had also asked Winnie to come to take care of Lawrie on Sunday night.

They got off the high-speed train and hailed a cab to get home. Throughout the journey, Lawrie was observing everything around him very carefully, but it was different from the excitement of other children in a new place.
