Chapter 1289
Alexander grinned and gave Stella a gentle pat on the back. "You know, when people get too high up, they start misjudging everything and everyone around them. It's only when they hit rock bottom that they can really tell what's good and what's bad."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "That Mrs. Durham, now that she's hit rock bottom, she realizes how awesome you are. That's probably why she's so anxious."
"Really?" Stella smiled sweetly, "No one praises me like you do. I'm not that great."
"You are, you're the best!"
They shared a moment of deep affection.
Just then, Chicago, who had just come out of Charlotte's room, saw them.
Seeing Alexander and Stella so in love, Chicago felt a pang of sadness.
When Darwin was home, he followed Fiona everywhere, sometimes even more clingy than she was.
But now, Fiona was alone and must be feeling very sad.
Chicago sighed as she walked, then bit her lip and decided to sleep with Fiona tonight!
So, when Fiona came out of the shower, she found Chicago, already in her pajamas, sitting obediently on her bed.
"Whose little cutie is this? How did you end up on my bed?" Fiona teased Chicago as she approached.
Chicago nodded obediently, "Mom, it's cold, and I can't sleep warmly. Can I sleep with you tonight?"
"But I have to get up very early tomorrow."
"That's okay. Once I'm asleep, not even thunder can wake me!"
"Alright then!"
Fiona lifted the blanket, got into bed, and hugged Chicago. "It's been a long time since we slept together. Let me give you lots of kisses!"
Chicago giggled happily as Fiona's kisses tickled her.
"Chicago," after Fiona had kissed her fill, she patted Chicago's back. "Are you worried about me?"
By now, Chicago was quite independent and had a strong sense of territory.
For example, no adults were allowed in her room without her permission, and her drawers were absolutely off-limits.
So, for her to suddenly come upstairs wanting to sleep with her, there must be a reason.
"Mom, do you miss Daddy too?" Chicago asked softly.
"Of course I do," Fiona answered gently.
Chicago, imitating Fiona, patted her back. "Mom, when we video-called last time, Daddy promised me he would eat well and sleep well, so he would get better quickly. It won't be long before we can all be together again."
"Alright." Fiona kissed Chicago's forehead. "Let's sleep now. Sweet dreams, Chicago."
"Goodnight, Mom."
The bedside lamp cast a soft glow.
Chicago soon fell into a deep sleep in Fiona's arms.
Fiona's mind, however, gradually became clearer.
After a light sleep, the alarm clock rang, and she quickly got up, got ready, and headed straight to the garage.
At the airport, Fiona went directly to the first-class lounge.
She had a hamburger in the lounge.
