Chapter 666 - I Want A Little Sister!
In the middle of their dinner, which was lively by the sound of laughter, Chloe's cell phone suddenly vibrated. The woman quickly wiped the food splatter on her hand with a tissue when she saw Randy's name on the screen of her cellphone.
"Hello, what's up?"
"Good evening Mrs. Chloe, sorry to interrupt your dinner time with Mr. Oscar and the family—"
Chloe frowned, "How did you know?"
"As the personal assistant in charge, it is my responsibility to find out what you do today."
"...Okay? So, why did you contact me? Is there something important that you dare to interrupt my time with my family?"
Hearing Chloe's question suddenly scared Randy to death. He canceled the woman's meeting with David earlier!
"Ah, it's about Mr. David, one of the investors in the Petersson Communication company. He came and was waiting for you in the meeting room. Where are you now? Let me pick you up."
From what Chloe knew, David was one of the biggest investors in Petersson Communications. She knew this because she accidentally found some leaflets containing the names of the company's investors.
At first, Chloe wanted to cancel the meeting because she was gathering with her family. It was rare for her and Oscar to get together and do something that wasn't about work. Especially now that the man brought his wife and child.
But Chloe had something important to do .
After thinking for a while and leaving Randy calling out her name cluelessly several times, Chloe replied, "I'm at the Pearl White Jade Restaurant. Pick me up here in 10 minutes."
Without waiting for a reply from Randy, Chloe had already hung up. The woman had no idea what was going on on the other end of the line. Randy frantically opened the map on his cellphone while starting the engine of his car.
"I swear to God… Where the hell is she now? I've never heard that restaurant's name before!!"
Chloe stowed her phone in her bag then fixed her lipstick in front of the little family. Without the need to look in the mirror, the woman could embellish her lips with lipstick. Sometimes, Oscar teased her and said that Chloe was the winner of the national makeup competition because she could wear one without looking in the mirror.
"Eh, where are you going?" Lisa asked.
Chloe closed her bag and stood up from the chair, "There's an important person I want to meet today. I'm going home first. Ah, Lisa, ask Oscar my number and save it! We have to meet again without these guys."
Hearing that made Oscar roll his eyes and let his sister be. However, when Lisa heard that, she couldn't help but laugh and nod her head.
William then waved his hand limply at Chloe, "Auntie, when will we meet again? I still miss you so much…"
"Ahh... my dear!" Chloe replied quickly. She turned around and pinched the boy's chubby cheeks, not forgetting to kiss it, "Of course we will meet again in the near future! I also still miss my favorite nephew!"
Then, after that, Chloe turned around and gave Oscar a strange look. That gaze looked like she wanted to say something but she didn't because this was a public place. She looked at her watch and decided to leave.
"I'm going first!"
After Chloe left, the table was quiet and awkward. Now that they were left alone without the person who managed to break the tense atmosphere around them earlier, none of them made a sound.
Perhaps since Lisa was still embarrassed to hear William's desire to have a younger sister, the woman was still speechless. Meanwhile, the man sitting next to her looked so excited about the plan to make another child for William's playmate.
Around half past eight in the evening, Oscar and his little family came out of the top-notch Chinese restaurant.
Arriving at his house, William couldn't wait to take off his shoes and enter his room. However, before he could do that, the boy turned around and hugged Lisa's legs.
"Mama, Papa..." William called softly.
Hearing his pleading voice and seeing the boy's eyes made Lisa and Oscar think something was wrong with him. They immediately looked down and looked at their child carefully.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Oscar.
"William, what happened?" Lisa asked at the same time.
William's expression immediately changed drastically. Now the boy smiled broadly and let go of his tight hug at Lisa's feet. "Are you going to make me a little sister? If so, cheer up!"
"Cheer up, huh?" Oscar repeated as deep laughter filled the living room.
Unlike him who looked excited and shameless, Lisa actually felt embarrassed. She was so embarrassed that she hoped the marble floor would pull her inside and hide her from them. According to her, having just one child is already quite tiring. She and Oscar were still busy taking care of William and the company.
Lisa couldn't imagine what would happen if they had another child. What is certain is that her sleep hours will decrease and she will most likely have to take days off at work.
They could hire a babysitter, but Lisa didn't want to do that. According to her, she is the one who has to look after and take care of her children even until they're all grown up.
Just when Lisa wanted to shake her head disapprovingly at William's question, Oscar was already ahead of her. "Hey, calm down! Not just a little sister, we will also give you a younger brother!"
At that moment, William's face looked disapproving. His brows furrowed and his cheeks puffed up. His lips which moved a few inches forward. "I already said that I only want a little sister. I don't want a younger brother!"
Actually, the reason why William doesn't want to have a younger brother is quite ridiculous. The boy just didn't want the attention and affection of his parents to be diverted to his brother later.
But a younger sister is different! His mother and father would surely love the daughter in different ways. So he won't need to worry about competition.
"William… Whether it's a girl or a boy, you'll still love them, right?"
