"Mommy, don't rush yourself if you're busy with work. I'm not in a hurry," Lawrie's childlike voice transmitted from the receiver to Vanessa's ear, which made her feel like crying. It was difficult for her to imagine that her little baby would no longer pester her and got along well with his new friends from kindergarten in just a few days.
"Today, Larry and I went to kindergarten together. We made a new friend and even got to know a new teacher. The teacher praised me for being so handsome. I was very happy after hearing the compliment. I also praised her for being so beautiful." From the other side of the phone, Lawrie's continued. It was the same voice, but his tone was sounded more delighted.
The Kyle family’s affection towards Lawrie played a huge role in getting rid of his trauma of being abandoned by his mother. Most importantly, Silvia's love and care had helped Lawrie receive familial love from someone else other than Vanessa. Hence, Lawrie was able to overcome this emotional hurdle.
Vanessa said with great relief, "My baby is so amazing! Mommy's proud of you."
Lawrie added, "Mommy, I will work hard to make you even prouder."
He was really such a sweet talker, much better than his father! Vanessa couldn't get the affection she wanted from Julien, so she asked Lawrie instead, "Baby, tell me, how much do you love me?"
Lawrie answered, "Very, very much, As much as the whole sky."
"Me too. Lawrie, I still have some work to do. I'm going to get busy now. I'll call you later when I get off work." Lawrie’s answer had been vague, but Vanessa understood what he meant. He was telling Vanessa that his love for her was as endless as the sky.
Lawrie said, "Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Vanessa once again devoted herself seriously to work and strived to complete her tasks sooner. Then, she could see Lawrie as soon as possible after work.
Joel returned to the Planning Department and told everyone what he had just asked Vanessa. The team stared at Joel at the same time. "Joel, if so, then there won’t be any need for us. This matter depends on Mr. Kyle. As long as he is willing to transfer his assets to her, then there shall be no concerns.
If Mr. Kyle doesn't agree..."
Before the planning director, Roger could finish speaking, Joel interrupted, "I am not worried that Mr. Kyle will disagree. Once he knows what Vanessa wants, he will definitely agree to her request regardless of any consequences. His only ask if for her to marry him."
The team then asked, "Will Vanessa agree to the President of the Rovio's offer?"
From Joel's point of view, they were only asking such a silly question because they had never seen how the mighty Mr. Kyle doted on Vanessa.
It was because Joel's wife, Belinda, had once brought food to the company, and Julien had overheard Vanessa complimenting its taste. Hence, Julien had spent a lot of money hiring Belinda to cook for Vanessa. In fact, Belinda had accepted Julien’s offer and cooked so often for Vanessa that Joel no longer had the chance to savor his wife's cooking!
Also, Vanessa had once been trapped in the company building in the summer because of a typhoon. At the risk of being blown away by the typhoon, Julien came to the office to save Vanessa by himself. However, when he found Vanessa, she was already unconscious. He then took Vanessa to the hospital and took care of her until she woke up.
Of course, Julien's care for Vanessa did not only stop there. If he wanted to disclose all these occasions, Joel would need a few days to complete his explanation.
