Billionaire Daddy, GO, GO, GO!

Chapter 50 No Offense, But She Kept Grumbling Inwardly

When Benjamin called Karina up, she was at the other end and answered sleepily. "Hey, Benjamin.

What's up? Do you have a crush on somebody in Sidney Kindergarten?" she answered jokingly.

"Nope. Seriously, I will send you a drawing draft later. The finished product must be handed me around

noon. Can you do that?" Benjamin asked resignedly.

"What? What are you talking about? I don't have the least of the idea of what you are talking about."

said Karina with great interest. Karina's interest quickened as she heard more about the plan.

Glancing at the clock on the wall, Benjamin said hastily, "I have nothing like enough time to answer all

your questions. Anyway, make sure that the finished product must be made before noon. And then pick

me up at the Sidney Kindergarten at noon. It is such an urgent matter that the drawing is related to

mummy. You must nail it!"

After receiving this mysterious task, Karina was totally confused and nerves arose in her heart.

"Benjamin, you must make it clear. I have no idea about what you said." replied Karina.

"There is no time for me to explain it in details. You just need to deal with it. It is high time that I cooked

breakfast for my mummy. See you later." said Benjamin in haste. Benjamin hung up the phone which

made words superfluous.

There was even no time for Karina to probe into the matter for the phone had been hung up.

She stared blankly at the clock, striking six, on the wall.

No offense, but she kept grumbling inwardly.

Scratching her head, she knew that she had no choice but to accept it. However, she felt that there was

some serious PDA going on here although their conversation was just in the phone.

Soon she got the message.

She kept complaining as she checked the message of the drawing draft on her phone. Despite of her

complaints, Karina still got dressed immediately for going outside to finish the task.

......

After hiding the semi-finished drawing draft, Benjamin printed another drawing draft that he finished

before last night was out, and then put it into his bag.

Taking a small stool, he moved toward kitchen and then stepped on the small stool naturally.

"Mummy feels unwell. How about cooking a bowl of congee with some vegetables for her?" Benjamin

mumbled to himself and shook his head while putting on an apron.

After everything being done, Benjamin came into the room carrying a cup of tea for curing cold.

He gently put that tea down on the bedside table, and then threw a suit of clean nightgown that hadn't

been worn into the washing machine after changing into another set of clean clothes, taking out from

his room.

He would not unload all the laundry into hamper until the washer was done. After that, he took a high

stool and stepped on it, which he was high enough to hang the clothes on a clothes rack.

Finishing the household chores, he jumped the high stool down to the ground and tiptoed to his

mummy's bedroom.

Benjamin wiped the sweat from his forehead when his steps gradually stopped and stood in the

doorway. He, moving slowly into the bedroom, sat on the edge of his mother's bed. Meanwhile,

Benjamin's tiny hands gently touched his mum's forehead.

Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that his mummy had restored to health.

Lying down on the bed, Patricia opened her eyes slowly and she grasped Benjamin's tiny hands that

laid on her forehead. "Good morning, babe!" Patricia said weakly.

"Good morning, mummy!" Benjamin greeted, a smile brightened his face.

Helping Patricia up, Benjamin took a pillow then put it behind his mum in order to make Patricia feel

more comfortable while he held the cup of tea for colds.

"Take the medicine, mummy. You will feel a lot better." said Benjamin.

Patricia took the cup of tea Benjamin offered her. Looking at the dark circles around Benjamin's eyes

and bags under his eyes, Patricia frowned at him and she was distressed about his situation.

"My baby, did you spent a sleepless night yesterday?" asked Patricia. And Patricia ran her fingers

lovingly over Benjamin's dark circles under his eyes.

"It is impossible, mummy. After taking a shower, I went to sleep at once last night. And I did the laundry

this morning." said Benjamin, in a thoughtful manner, and nodded constantly.

There was still suspicion on Patricia's face. "But the dark circles under your eyes... What happened?"

she doubted.

"I just had a nightmare last night. The dark circles may be caused by the sleep deprivation for the

nightmare last night." Benjamin answered with a tilt of his head, smiling faintly.

There was deep frown and worry on the Patricia's face. "You must wake me up when you have

nightmare again. I will always be with you." comforted Patricia.

"Got it, mummy. You should drink the tea lest it get cold." urged Benjamin.

Benjamin felt much more reassured when Patricia finished the tea.

As Benjamin walking out of the room, he said, "I am going to ladle out steaming congee. You can go to

change your clothes and wash up."

All doubts weren't suddenly erased from Patricia's mind until she looked at the clothes hanging on

clothes rack after walking slowly out of her room.

"Benjamin didn't lie to me just now. He didn't sit up last night." said Patricia inwardly.

Benjamin held a bowl of congee on the table and he certainly noticed the sight of his mummy.

Patricia embraced Benjamin from behind and a feeling of guilt began to stir in Patricia.

"My little boy, you don't need to do these household chores any more. It is my duty to do housework.

You are the apple of my eye, and it is too much for you." said Patricia.

Turning around, Benjamin, earnestly glinting in his eyes, looked at Patricia and said seriously, "Mummy,

you don't need to worry about me. I can stand these. I am delighted that I can help you reduce burden."

With a naive grin, Benjamin reached out and helped Patricia brush a strand of hair behind her ears.

Patricia shook her head lightly as she embraced Benjamin tightly and made a suggestion, "How about

dividing up the work?"

"How shall we divide up the work?" asked Benjamin with a ghost of surprise.

Patricia nodded seriously and said, "You will be responsible for the cooking and other chores will

belong to me. What do you think of?"

Benjamin thought for a moment, stroking his jaw and disagreed with it, "I have objection to your idea. I

want to do the laundry, too."

Patricia knitted her brows and retorted, "You can't honestly expect me to agree with that."

Unexpectedly, they were vying for the division of the household chores.

Acting in a pettishly charming manner, Benjamin pleaded, "Doing the laundry is just an easy job. Just

put them into the washer. You can leave it to me."

Patricia had a soft spot for the way Benjamin talked just now.

Patricia could do nothing but agree with it, "Okay."

"Hurried up, mummy! It is time for breakfast." Benjamin hurried his mum into moving to bathroom to

wash up.

After having breakfast at a steady pace, they got to the Sidney Kindergarten. Patricia put Benjamin's

tiny hands into Miss Erin's hands and said, "Miss Erin, please look after Benjamin, thank you."

Miss Erin nodded lightly. As Miss Erin found that Patricia recovered energy, Miss Erin asked, "How are

you feeling now? Are you OK?"

Patricia shook her head to signal that she had recovered from illness. After giving a gentle kiss on

Benjamin's forehead, Patricia turned on his heel and left, leaving a word of gratitude. "You can rest

easy. I'll be fine."

After watching Patricia's receding figure, Benjamin's phone was ringing.

He answered the phone calmly and coolly and the corners of his mouth curved up after hearing

Patricia's voice.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
