Chapter 45 She Had Other Children

The fever did not recede even until the next day. Lesly could not leave Lulu alone, so she had to ask for leave from Gavin. She would not go to his house on Sunday. After answering Lesly’s call, Gavin said coldly, "Up to you." After that, he hung up the phone. After a while, Gavin sent another text message. "However, let me remind you. According to the agreement, if you are absent for one week, you are not allowed to see Arnav for the next month." Lesly clenched her phone tightly, but she looked at the weak Lulu. She had no choice but to reply to Gavin, "Okay." In Gavin’s house, seeing Lesly’s reply, Gavin’s face turned completely cold. He got up, left his desk, and went to the alcohol cabinet to fetch a bottle of whiskey. "Father." Arnav appeared at the door of the study. "Aren’t you going out today?" Gavin poured half a glass of alcohol, took a big sip, and then said, "No." Arnav clung to the door frame. Although he got an answer, he did not leave immediately. Gavin turned to look at him. Arnav’s delicate face had no expression on it, but when he fiddled around near the door frame, it exposed the hesitation and uneasiness in his heart. Gavin put down his glass and sighed silently, whispering, "She won’t come today." Arnav immediately looked away and said coldly, "I don’t care if she comes or not." Gavin shook his glass and looked down. He began to hesitate. He didn’t know if he should tell his son that Lesly had other children. "Then she..." Arnav asked softly, "Is she coming back tomorrow?" Gavin closed his eyes and shook his head. "She won’t come tomorrow either. She won’t come over for the next month." Arnav did not hold back the expression on his face anymore. He said disappointedly and angrily, "Why?" "Because she has other children." Gavin put down his cup and said, "Arnav, you’re not the only child she has." Arnav froze at the door. Gavin walked over and picked up his son. He put his warm hand on his son’s back. "She also has a daughter called Lulu," Gavin said. "She is very cute. She loves Lulu very much..." "Don’t say anymore." Arnav tried his best to speak in a cold tone. "I don’t want to know." Gavin patted his son on the back. Arnav gave him a push. "Put me down. I’m going to go read my book." Gavin looked at his son and asked, "Are you alright?" "Okay, why won’t I be alright?" Arnav turned his face away. "Let go of me. Don’t hug me like this. It’s so cheesy." "Indeed, it’s cheesy." As expected, Gavin put down Arnav. "Go on then. Go and read." Arnav tidied up his clothes and strode out of the study. He returned to his computer room and sat down with his legs crossed. In front of him, there were the wires that had been neatly arranged by Lesly. It turned out that she had other children. No wonder he abandoned him so quickly back then. Arnav buried his face on his knees and tried to hold back his tears for a long time. However, he still could not help but secretly weep. ...... Lulu’s fever finally subsided in the evening, but she was still sleepy. She leaned in Lesly’s arms, clamoring to eat the tomato noodles made by Lesly. Thinking that it had been a long time since she had cooked for the children, Lesly cooked some food and stewed a pot of soup. Her cooking skills were not particularly good, but Lucca and Lesly were all particularly fond of Lesly’s cooking. Resting her chin on her hand, Lesly looked at the adorable look of Lulu slurping on the noodles. She suddenly thought of something. She wanted to make some food for Arnav. Thinking of this, Lesly immediately went into the kitchen, made two dishes and a soup, and packed them into a thermos. Lesly walked out of the kitchen with the thermos and kissed Lucca and Lulu. "I have something to do. Listen to Uncle Harry later, and then wash up and go to bed. Is that okay?" Lulu nodded with noodles in her mouth and said, "Okay, mommy." Lucca concentrated on eating and ignored her. Lesly rubbed Lucca’s head and asked, "Alright?" Lucca shook off Lesly’s hand. "Got it." "Good boy, I’m going out now." Lulu immediately said sweetly, "Mommy, be careful on the road. We’ll wait for you at home." "Alright." Lesly waved his hand and opened the door to leave. She drove over at night. After getting in the car, Lesly hesitated for a few seconds and decided to inform Gavin later. When she arrived at Gavin’s house, she would talk to Gavin about giving Arnav food. Whether Gavin agreed or not, she would definitely pass the food to Arnav.
