Chapter 643
Erin Gooding smiled. nCake?’
She was not distant at all.
As Irene nodded, she continued, "James is too busy to accompany me, so it's boring being alone... May I visit you
sometime?"
Irene did not want to reject Erin, but she did not have the time-she wanted to stay home and take care of her
children while she did not have to work.
"How about work? Something you prefer, preferably... Just to kill time?"
’I wanted to, but James told me that he would pay for everything."
Erin had a look of bliss on her face as she said that, and Irene smiled unwittingly as she looked on.
Happy people tend to radiate a certain glow, and people who watch them could feel their warmth too.
"What is it?" Erin asked. "Did I misspoke?"
"Nope," Irene replied, taking a slip from her glass. "Congratulations. James is a good man."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yeah, but he's just so busy," Erin said, resting her chin on her hand." Sometimes it's two days before I get to see
him once, and he's never at home at night."
"He's busy with work, I guess," Irene said. "Oh!"
Erin seemed to have more to say, but Irene had stood up since her cake was ready. "I’ll get going now."
Erin nodded. "Okay. I'm going shopping later myself."
Irene was ready to leave with her cake, but stopped at the door, turning around to ask, "Would you like to visit my
home?"
"Of course!" Erin exclaimed excitedly, but soon hesitated as she asked,' Would Isaac Jefferson be upset if he sees
me?"
After all, they were not related, though she was his mother's adopted daughter.
"No," Irene said, and Erin became relieved enough to go with her.
She was quite clingy too and she linked arms with Irene intimately.
"What should I call you?"
"Just Irene," Irene replied.
"That won't do," Erin said. "How about sis?"
While Irene was left speechless, she explained, "Although I'm adopted and not related to Isaac by blood, we did
address the same woman as our mother... That makes me a tenth his sister!"
Irene smiled in amusement.
"You're really nice, aren't you?"
Just as they were about to reach the hilltop mansion, Irene said, "There's children at the mansion, if that's okay with
you..."
"It's fine," Erin smiled. "I love children."
Erin helped Irene unload everything from the car once the car stopped before Mrs. Watson took everything off their
hands in turn.
As Irene went to get Erin a drink, she told the latter, "Sit anywhere you like."
Erin looked around and commented, "The decor here is really well done."
As Irene brought Erin her drink, Tommy came running toward Irene." Mama, cake?"
"Over here!" Mrs. Watson called out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTommy turned and saw it, and he quickly left Irene hanging as he ran toward Mrs. Watson.
"I want cake, Mrs. Watson," he asked with his adorable little voice.
"Okay, here you go," Mrs. Watson cut a small slice from the modest cake, and brought two more to Irene and Erin.
Tommy started eating on the couch too, crossing his legs like a bigwig and looking very nonchalant.
Amused, Erin sat beside him and said, "I'll give you my cake if you answer my question, okay?"
"Okay!" Tommy agreed to it right away.
"What's your name?"
"Ike Jefferson, but everyone calls me Tommy," Tommy replied, blinking his large eyes. "Who are you? What are you
doing at my house?"
Erin grinned.
"You can call me Aunt Erin," she said, and turned to Irene. "Right?"
Irnee nodded-the only family she had was Sheryl and Ricky.
Since Isaac had lost his own parents, having more family was good.
That was when Sheryl suddenly hurried toward them, saying, "Irene, you have to check out the news."
