BXBX NOVEL Chapter 136 - 136: Who is the man downstairs sending you home?!
Upstairs.
Just as Enna had changed her slippers, the light in the living room suddenly turned on.
Tobias, wearing a pair of adult-sized slippers that didn’t quite fit his age, stared at her with his arms crossed. His phoenix eyes, just like someone else’s, seem to be scrutinizing a criminal.
“Woman, why did you turn off your phone?”
“…It ran out of battery.” Enna furrowed her eyebrows, poked his forehead, and scolded, “Bobby, how many times do I have to tell you? Call me Mummy, not ‘woman’ all the time.”
Annoyed! The domineering image she had barely managed to cultivate suddenly crumbled. Tobias glared at her, hating that he only grew a tiny bit taller at this point. If he had grown to 1.8 meters tall, he’d see how Enna would dare to poke his head!
He pouted his pink and tender lips and asked angrily, “Why are you coming home so late tonight? And who is that man downstairs?”
“What man?” Now that she was home, the sticky and uncomfortable feeling on her body seemed more pronounced. Enna couldn’t wait to change clothes and bathe. She wasn’t really paying attention to what he was saying, so she just put down her bag without looking up.
“The one downstairs! The man who brought you back! The one driving the
Volkswagen! ”
She continued without looking up, “Ah, that’s…”
She almost blurted out ‘driver,’ but luckily she reacted quickly and changed her words to, “A friend.”
“A friend? What kind of friend? Do I know him? How old is he? Have you found out about his family situation?” He bombarded her with rapid-fire questions, just like someone checking a household registration.
Enna felt a headache coming. Why would she bother to investigate the friend of her secret husband’s family driver? But she couldn’t tell the truth to her darling child. If Bobby found out that she had gone to get a marriage certificate with a man she had never seen before in order to get him into the household registration, he would definitely turn the world upside down. Considering his precocious nature, he might even make a fuss and run away from home.
Enna weighed the pros and cons, then quickly placated him, “Just an ordinary friend. Why do I need to know so much about him? Alright, I’m tired. I’m going to take a bath. Have you eaten?”
Tobias keenly noticed her slightly red earlobe. Every time Enna lied, her earlobe would turn red! Her earlobe was red, which meant she was lying. He looked further down and noticed a red mark on her neck. His little phoenix eyes widened immediately! He was about to explode when he remembered Enna’s perfunctory attitude, so he held back his questions, “Yes, I ate. You go and take a bath.”
“Then I’ll go take a bath first.” Feeling a bit guilty for coming home so late, Enna added, “Get Boonie Bears ready to watch, I’ll come and join you after my bath. ”
Tobias had other things on his mind and wasn’t in the mood for cartoons.
Annoyed, he waved his hand, “I know, you go.”
Enna thought he was just being moody, so she went in to take a bath.
As soon as she went in, the very short Tobias immediately dug out a pair of exquisite binoculars from his toy box, ran to the balcony, and stood on tiptoe to look down.
These binoculars were a birthday gift from Auntie Olivia. They allowed him to see far and clearly, but they were a bit heavy.
He strained to hold up the binoculars to his eyes, and sure enough, he saw the silver Volkswagen. It had been so long, but the man hadn’t left yet…
Bobby was in an extremely bad mood and jumped off the bench. With a twinkle in his eye, he ran to his room, took out his little cell phone, and made a call..
