Chapter 756: Lucy's Wedding Invitation
Helen's POV:
"What a coincidence! I'm quite good at games that require accuracy.I don't even have to use my legs.I've opened a lot of shooting ranges, so shooting balloons is a piece of cake for me already."
Platt raised his chin, appearing to be confident in his abilities.
Luis and Polly stared at him with admiration.
They stood beside his wheelchair; one on the left and the other on the right, cheering for him already.
The other parents had already begun shooting, but none of them could hit all of the targets, because they were too far away.
Fiddling with the toy gun, Platt declared to Polly and Luis, "Watch me closely!"
The kids stared at him with unblinking eyes.
Pretty soon, they heard the sound of balloons popping one after another.He shot all ten balloons in a row.
The kids were so happy that they hopped and ran around him.
Even though I was their mother, I had never received that kind of excitement from them.
The other parents were all praises and applause for Platt, too.
Over the next activities, Luis and Polly pushed the wheelchair for Platt and took him to the competition venue.
When the other parents saw that his leg was still in plaster, they were scared of bumping into him, so they made sure to make way for him.
Platt won all of the competitions he participated in.He was a master of competitive games.
Even though they were games for children, he almost never failed.
That afternoon, Luis and Polly received the envious gazes of the other children.
Once the day was over, the kids’ arms were filled with prizes.
On our way back, they kept chattering and giggling.
Platt basked in the kids’ admiration.
"If I had known it would be this fun to participate in parent-children mixers, I should've gotten married earlier and had my own kids!"
Thereafter, I pushed the wheelchair towards the parking lot.
His words put a smile on my face.It wasn't easy to raise kids, and lots of patience and energy were needed.
Luis and Polly were relatively obedient kids, and yet I would still lose my temper whenever they were being naughty.
"How did you even get here?" Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"My chauffeur drove me over.I wasn't sure when the event would end, so I asked him to go home without me.So, my only way of getting home is to hitch a ride with you!"
Because he did save the day, I had no choice but to drive him home first.I made sure to arrange the safety of Luis and Polly, and fastened their seatbelts for them before helping Platt into the passenger seat.
Once he had settled his legs down, I folded his wheelchair up and stored it into the trunk.
By the time I finished everything, I was already sweating all over.
Upon our arrival at his house, he invited me and the kids for dinner again.
"Eating alone is boring.Come have dinner with me.Besides, you made a promise to Luis and Polly yesterday that if they behave well today, you'll let them eat ice cream."
Obviously, the kids also remembered this promise.
They looked at me expectantly and asked, "Is it really okay, Mom?"
I went to the trunk to fetch Platt's wheelchair.
Then I helped him out of the passenger seat and sat him on the wheelchair.
After that, I took Luis and Polly out of the car.
"Alright, let's go."
The kids were so happy that they even helped me push Platt's wheelchair into the house.
After a busy day, I felt both tired and hungry.
Platt asked the cook to serve the food to his villa.
Polly was eating spoonful after spoonful, while Luis ate in a reserved manner.I couldn't hide the smile on my face.I didn't even realize that I ate more than usual.
After dinner, Platt went to the fridge himself to fetch the ice cream for the kids.
Luis and Polly sat side by side on the sofa, holding a cup of ice cream and savoring every bite with satisfied expressions.
Normally, I controlled their diet strictly and made sure that they didn't eat unhealthy foods.I was worried that they might eat something that was bad for them.
But for some reason, seeing the smiles on their faces put me in a good mood.
Honestly, I was starting to view Platt in a better light.
Even if we couldn't work together in the future, being friends with Platt could actually be a good thing.
Before leaving, he said to me, "My extreme sports club has been redecorated.Would you like to come visit it with me tomorrow?"
I knew what he meant by that.
Was that his way of letting me know that he'd procure my services sometime in the future? I smiled at him and said, "Thanks for everything that you did today.I'll make sure to come by tomorrow."
Thereafter, I went home with the kids.I helped them take a shower and made them go to bed early.
Today's activities must've tired them out, so they soon fell asleep.I had enough time to rest for a little bit before leaving the bedroom and dealing with work.
Just then, Westley sent me a link.It was an invitation to Lucy's wedding.I clicked on the link and read page by page.
There were photos of Lucy and Dyer.
She had become even more beautiful than she was three years ago.She donned a beautiful and delicate wedding dress.
In the photos, she was hugging and kissing Dyer.Her eyes were filled with love and affection when she looked at him.It seemed that she was living a happy life.
Even though I hadn't spoken to Lucy in years, I was delighted to know that she lived a happy life.I heaved a sigh before deleting the link, pretending like I never saw the message in the first place.
Lucy's POV:
I leaned against the headboard, staring at my wedding invitation.I handpicked all photos for the invitation.
After sending them out, I received a lot of praises and blessings, but I still felt like something was missing.
Among everyone else, I wanted Helen to be at my wedding.
However, her social media account and her phone number no longer in use, and she even moved away.I couldn't find her anywhere.She must really hate me now.
When she needed me the most, I wasn't there for her and even lost my temper on her.
The last message I sent to her still remained on my social media account.
That day, when she gave me back the money, I asked her harshly if she wanted to stop being friends with me.
While I was lost in thought, Dyer came out of the bathroom and grabbed my phone.
"You should go to sleep.Stop staring at your phone."
He embraced me and let me rest my head on his arm.
But because I was thinking about something, I couldn't fall asleep.
Dyer seemed to be awake as well.I could tell that he felt restless because of George's return.
In the past few years, he had been running Zhester Technology by himself.He had to decide every major decision in the company.
Occasionally, he would encounter difficult problems, only then would he consult George about them.
Nonetheless, he didn't own the company.
Now that the real boss of Zhester Technology was coming back, Dyer must feel like he was put on an awkward spot in the company.
