Hearing his voice only after a few days, Xia Ning’s heart was filled with complicated emotions.

It seemed that she had fallen into some kind of paranoia, which was why she had contacted him so late.

The person on the other end of the phone waited for a long time, but there was no response. He asked tentatively,””Xia Ning?”

Xia Ning returned to her senses and responded,”yes, it’s me.”

“Where are you?” The person on the other end of the phone asked anxiously.

Xia Ning knew that he was worried about her, so she quickly said,””Don’t worry, I’m at the SU family’s old mansion. I’m fine. ”

Then, there was no sound from the other end of the phone.

Xia Ning’s heart suddenly felt empty. She said softly,”Qiao Yu, are you listening?”

“I’m listening,”

“How’s Enoch?”Xia Ning asked.

“I’m fine. I’m playing on the sofa. ”

Upon hearing this, Xia Ning immediately said,””I want to talk to him, can I?”

“Wait, I’ll pass the phone to him.”

Xia Ning heard the buzzing sound of electromagnetic waves being disrupted. Soon, a soft and sweet voice could be heard from the other end.”Mother, is that you?”

“It’s me, baby!” Hearing her son’s voice, Xia Ning’s voice seemed to have a hint of a smile.

“Mom, I missed you so much. Why did you only call me now?” Enoch’s voice was full of grievance.

“I’ve been busy for the past few days, that’s why I’m calling you so late. I’ll call you every day from now on, okay?” Xia Ning comforted him.

“Then, mom, you keep your word! But, mom, when are you coming back?”

When are you going back? Xia Ning thought for a while.”Soon. We’ll meet again very soon. You have to listen to dad for now.”

“Yes, yes.” Enoch answered without hesitation.

Xia Ning thought for a moment and said,”you can’t always have daddy to take care of you. You’re all grown up now. You have to learn how to take care of him. You have to make sure he goes to bed early and eats on time every day.”

“Okay. If daddy sleeps late or doesn’t eat, I’ll tell you, mommy. Then, you’ll spank daddy’s butt.” Enoch said in a serious tone.

A certain someone, who was listening to the mother and son’s conversation on the sofa, suddenly heard his son’s words and his face turned a little black. When did his son start to think that his mother could spank his butt as she pleased?

The mother and son chatted for a while before Enoch reluctantly handed the phone to his father.”Daddy, mommy wants to talk to you on the phone.”

Qiao Yu took it and glanced at his son. Then, he headed towards the bedroom.

Enoch snorted as he watched his father leave. His father was so petty that he would not let him listen to what they were talking about.

Back in the bedroom, Qiao ran stood in front of the balcony and looked outside, listening to Xia Ning’s voice.

“Just leave it here. Go and prepare a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for me. Add some lemons in it.”

“Yes, miss Asteria.” The voice that replied was in pure English.

Then, there were the sounds of footsteps and the door closing.

“You haven’t eaten yet?” Qiao Yu asked.

“Yes, I fell asleep in the afternoon and just woke up, so I ate it.”

Qiao Yu furrowed his brows,”did you stay up late last night?”

“No, I went to the office today and didn’t get much rest. I was very tired when I came back in the afternoon and fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed.”

After hearing this, Qiao Yu’s expression turned a little better,””Then rest early after you’re done eating.”

“I know. You and Enoch should rest earlier tonight too. I …” Suddenly, she stopped talking and there was a sound of vomiting.”Urgh …”

Qiao ran’s heart sank, and she quickly asked,””What’s wrong?”
