Chapter 75 New Content in the Surveillance
“Baby, I was wrong!” I won the bet, and Robert yielded. “I’ll pay more attention to this in the future, be a good dad!”
In my heart, I bitterly smiled; you might be a good dad, but not to my child.
“Next semester, Lilly won’t board anymore!” I made a request. “After all, they are still young.”
“Are you sure you can handle it?” Robert asked, pretending to be concerned.
“I have to, whether I can or not. Children should live in a harmonious atmosphere. Since I haven’t died, they all have to come home!” My words were unequivocal.
I slowly lay down again; I was truly exhausted and a bit unable to hold on.
“Okay, let’s go with your plan!” he compromised. “Are you not angry anymore?”
He moved closer again.
“Sleep! Tomorrow, we still have to take Oliver to school!” I closed my eyes after saying that.
Internally, I was anxious; it seemed like I really needed to go back to Southend.
The next day.
I went to Oliver’s room immediately after getting up, only to find Sherry was already there. I expressed my displeasure, saying, “I’ll take care of Oliver from now on. You focus on Charles and quickly prepare breakfast!”
After hearing my words, she handed Oliver’s clothes to me and left.
I observed for a moment; Oliver wasn’t as clingy to her as I saw in the video. That was a good sign.
Since Charles was still young, I needed to regain his trust bit by bit. Considering my current health condition, I needed to give myself some leeway.
I didn’t see Alice at the dining table, and I didn’t bother asking. After taking care of Oliver’s breakfast, I drove him to school. Today, he seemed a bit happier; before entering the school, he turned back, waved at me, and then ran inside.
I smiled, watching him run into the building before turning to my car.
I was truly tired, so I drove straight back home. I called Albert and asked him to arrange people to keep a close eye on Robert and Amelia.
Albert chuckled wickedly, “Don’t worry! I guarantee that this scumbag will be in deep trouble. The person I arranged is already in position today.”
“So efficient?” I was a bit surprised by the efficiency.
“Well, do you think it’s too fast? Then should I slow it down?” He teased mischievously.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“No, no need. They’ve been enjoying themselves for too long, forgetting who they are. It’s time to wake them up!” I was in a good mood today, speaking with a light tone.
Thinking about last night’s confrontation with Robert made me feel satisfied. I have to make him constantly aware of what he is.
Albert on the other end of the line laughed at my words, “I still like your cheerfulness! But I have to tell you, Robert might have an STD. Don’t sleep with him again!”
My face instantly turned red; thankfully, this was over the phone, or it would be really embarrassing.
“Of course!” I chuckled awkwardly, “I’m not that desperate for sex.”
This remark made Albert laugh even more unrestrainedly.
Back home, I quickly caught up on sleep; I did walk a lot yesterday, and my whole body was aching. When I woke up, I realized the house was eerily quiet-no one was around. It seemed Sherry had gone out again.
After having a light meal, I lay back in bed and checked the surveillance records. It turned out there was a reason why Robert could come so promptly yesterday.
In the records, just after I left, Sherry called Robert, telling him that I had gone to Oliver’s school. Sherry’s tone was quite displeased as she said to Robert over the phone, “What’s your plan by letting her return to normal like this? Don’t you think her waking up is a threat to us? I always feel that the way she looks at me is off, and also… you better be more restrained.”
Unfortunately, I couldn’t hear Robert’s response in the phone call, but judging by Sherry’s dissatisfied expression, it didn’t seem positive. She angrily continued, “What do you mean I’m feeling guilty and trying to harm her? Initiating this was you, and now stopping it is also you. No matter what your plan is, I remind you, Daisy is not a fool. You better not have anything with Alice again. She’s not what you see, and once Daisy finds out, none of us will have a good time.”
I didn’t know what was said on the other end, but Sherry held onto the phone, and her expression became increasingly unpleasant. In the end, Sherry even uttered a hateful remark, “Robert, I put in all the effort, but I didn’t get the results. Don’t blame me for being ruthless. I don’t mind…”
Perhaps Robert end simply ignored her words and hung up, infuriating her to the point that she forcefully slammed her phone to the ground.
She was clearly venting her frustration!
The subsequent scene showed Alice coming in cheerfully with Charles after finishing work. I saw Sherry walk over, directly picking up Charles, “Why are you so late? Didn’t we agree to pick up at 4 o’clock…”
She hadn’t finished her sentence, but her eyes were immediately drawn to something, staring fixedly at Alice.
