Chapter 469
"Mom, I want to eat fried chicken, I want to eat French fries, I want to eat anything you make!" Owen whined, hanging on Haley's arm.
Hearing this, Ivan's face turned dark. He coldly said, "Tonight, your mom can't cook."
The child looked up in confusion and asked, "Why?"
"No reason." Ivan's voice was cold. Either eat the food cooked by the chef obediently, or I will make it for you."
Dad was being too much and too overbearing. He no longer liked Dad!
But Dad's aura was too intimidating. If he insisted on eating Mom's food, would Dad throw him out in anger?
After a fierce internal struggle, the child pitifully said, "Then I will eat the food cooked by the chef..."
Haley bent down and tousled Owen's hair, smiling as she said, "Mommy has been in meetings all day today and is a bit tired. After I rest tomorrow, I'll make you something delicious, all right?"
"Mommy, you're tired?" Owen widened his eyes, pulling Haley toward the house. "Then you should sit down quickly. I'll give you a massage."
The child stood behind her and massaged her forcefully.
Todd silently poured a glass of warm water.
Keith whispered, "Mommy, how about I call the family doctor to come and check on you?"
Haley gently smiled and shook her head. "There's no need. I'm not sick. Why call a doctor? I'm already feeling much better now."
"Sorry, Mom..." Owen said with great guilt, "I shouldn't have let you hold me, shouldn't have let you cook. I was so thoughtless."
Todd glanced at him indifferently. "You finally realize that you were thoughtless."
Keith looked at him with reproach. "Don't keep bothering Mom for hugs anymore. You're too old for that."
Owen's eyes welled up with grievances.
Was he really that thoughtless?
Haley reached out and pulled Owen into her arms, softly saying, "I'm your mom. I should be holding you and cooking for you. These past four years, I've let you and Keith down. I should be the one apologizing to both of you. Owen, sweetheart, you will always be Mommy's baby..."
After being comforted for a few words, the child immediately smiled.
Ivan, who was standing by, felt a certain void in his heart finally being filled.
These were his children, and this was the woman he cared about. The six of them should be a family...
The chef prepared over a dozen dishes, all the children's favorite foods, filling the long dining table. Ivan had already finished his meal before the children had even finished eating. He stood up and said calmly, "Haley, after we finish eating, accompany me to the hospital."
Haley knew what he meant.
This man had always been concerned about her health. In fact, she was feeling much better now, and there was no need to go to the hospital.
Before she could speak, the children became worried. "Mom, are you sick?"
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
"Mom, let me go with you to the hospital?"
Ivan glanced at the children. "Your mom is fine. I have a slight fever and need to get checked at the hospital."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw all four children let out a sigh at the same time.
