The Second Love

Chapter 363 Booking A Room

This matter was so rushed that I forgot to mention it to Dominic Hartnell. After a moment of thought, I sent Dominic Hartnell a WeChat message, briefly explaining what happened this morning. However, he is currently very busy and will be leaving the country early tomorrow. It's uncertain when he will finish his work and whether he can return by the weekend. Well, in any case, I have already conveyed the message from his father, and I won't interfere any further. Let Dominic Hartnell make his own decision. It's still early for Lou to come back from work, and my mom is still sleeping. I have nothing to do, so I can only watch TV by myself. Around five o'clock, my mom woke up, feeling much better, and started asking me about Lou. We had just chatted for a few sentences when Lou and Mohan came back. I didn't see Yurou with them, so I asked. Lou told me that Yurou informed him before leaving work that she had made plans with a colleague to go shopping and wouldn't be coming back to eat risotto. Although they are just interns, it's good for them to get along well with their colleagues. It's better than having conflicts every day. Besides, this can also help her build connections in advance. Who knows if she will need them in the future? Thinking about this, I also advised Lou and Mohan not to be foolish and not to take everything to heart. They casually agreed, indicating that they didn't really care. And with my mom eagerly wanting to chat with her son, I had no choice but to keep quiet in frustration. It had been a long time since I saw my son, and my mom prepared a table full of dishes for dinner, with most of them being Lou's favorites. If it weren't for the fact that I knew my mom didn't have a preference for sons over daughters and treated me well too, I couldn't help but feel jealous and envious. After finishing the risotto, I stopped my mom from washing the dishes and cleaning up. During this period when she was away, Lou and Mohan took turns doing the dishes. Young men should be trained early so that they can take care of their future wives. So I dragged my mom along and made her the "hands-off" manager, accompanying me for a walk outside. We walked in circles in the block's garden, and my mom talked about the fun things they did outside. From her tone, I could tell that she had a great time. I told her that when I give birth and the new house is renovated, I will pay for her and my dad to go out and have a great time.They can come back whenever they feel satisfied and enjoy themselves however they want. My mom said it's not possible, as she will have to take care of the baby and won't have any free time to go out. But at the same time, she talks about how she saw something nice or beautiful in the news or newspaper. I just smiled and didn't say anything. I thought that I would arrange everything for them to go out and have fun. My mom and I chatted and laughed all the way, and then slowly walked back. When we reached downstairs, we coincidentally ran into Yurou who had just returned. Yurou saw my mom and greeted her sweetly, "Oh, Auntie, weren't you traveling with Vivienne Zanetti and my mom? You're back already?" "My mom and dad, are they back too?" Seeing her radiant face, I guessed she must have had a great time with her colleagues. My mom also likes Yurou a lot. She pulled her arm and said, "Your brother-in-law has been busy lately and doesn't have time for your sister. That's why I rushed back." "Your parents probably won't be back for another two days." "When they come back, let's have risotto together. Last time, you kids weren't there, it wasn't lively at all." Yurou jokingly laughed, "Auntie, is it because we weren't there that you didn't enjoy the food?" My mom raised her eyebrows and nodded vigorously, "Exactly!" I couldn't help but laugh while listening to them. The three of them chatted happily and returned home. After arriving home, we rearranged the rooms. I made Lou and Mohan sleep together, so there would be an empty room for my mom.After tidying up for a while, everything was finally settled. Although I didn't do much, I still felt tired. Dominic Hartnell was not around, and I wasn't interested in doing anything else. I watched TV for a while and started to feel sleepy. I sent a WeChat message to Dominic Hartnell in the afternoon, but he never replied. I wanted to call him, but I was afraid of disturbing his work, so I held back. Before going to sleep, I sent him a "goodnight" message. I don't know if it was because I went to bed early or because Dominic Hartnell wasn't there, but I wasn't used to it. I woke up just after 7 am. The first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to check my phone. Dominic Hartnell replied to my message in the middle of the night, but I was already fast asleep and didn't notice. I didn't expect him to leave so early, and when I called, his phone was already turned off. After replying to his message, I set my phone aside. I lay there for a while but couldn't fall back asleep, so I got up. As I left the bedroom, I faintly heard some clattering sounds. I walked to the kitchen and realized it was my mom making risotto for breakfast. Later, Lou and the others also woke up one by one, and after having breakfast, they went to work. The days passed by uneventfully, and before I knew it, three days had gone by. Dominic Hartnell was still busy overseas, but we stayed in touch every day. Even if we couldn't make phone calls, we would chat on WeChat for a while. I could tell he was still very busy, and I guessed he wouldn't be able to come back on the weekend. He never mentioned whether he would eat risotto or not, and I didn't ask him. Anyway, he should have discussed it with his dad. These past few days, Yurou didn't come back for dinner. She was always out with her colleagues. Luckily, she had a sense of propriety and would always come back around 9 or 10 in the evening, so my mom and I didn't bother her. On the other hand, Lou and Mohan were very well-behaved and would come home right after work. But today was different. When it was time, Yurou didn't come back, and neither did Lou and Mohan. By the time it was almost 7 o'clock, my mom couldn't sit still anymore and urged me to call and ask. She was worried that something had happened. I also found it strange, so without hesitation, I called Lou.The phone rang for a while before someone finally answered on the other end. Before I could even inquire, I overheard Lou whispering like a thief, "Sis, Yu Rou went to a hotel with someone to make a reservation!" "That man picked her up in a car. He appears respectable, but there's something about him that seems untrustworthy." "Sis, do you think Mo Han and I should intervene and rescue Yu Rou?" I was immediately stunned. Reserved a room?!
