You Are My One and Only

Chapter 122

Patricia went back to the office and found that Isaac was absent.

He did not return to the office either for the rest of the day, which granted her an easy day at work. She took a few phone calls that had been transferred over from the main operator and most of them were regarding important matters that required an appointment with President Arnold.

That was basically Patricia’s daily job scope in general. Moreover, she also had to tag along with Isaac during most of his site visits; she was in charge of bringing food and drinks, an umbrella, and sunglasses for him.

She realized that he resembled a man-baby as he had everything in life sorted out for him, relishing in being served by others. What a wonderful life.

Strangely enough, Isaac did not bring her with him today.

Perhaps he knows I am unwell from my allergic reaction… As she thought of that, a smile flashed across her face.

He was out of the office even until clock out time.

Patricia was ready to leave work and pick up her kids from school when she decided to send him a few texts. ‘President Arnold, I’m getting off work now. Do you need me to prepare dinner?’

If Isaac had to socialize tonight, then it meant that she would not need to head over to his place to cook him dinner. After quite some time, he finally replied.

‘No, I have something on tonight.’

At that moment, she revealed a satisfied smile as her fingers danced happily on the phone keyboard. ‘President Arnold, go easy on the drinks and head home early!’

She reckoned that she was such a great secretary for being so responsible.

She sent off the text without waiting for a reply as she joyously left the office for the kids’ kindergarten after slinging her bag in her arms.

The kids had just finished school when she had just arrived. The kindergarten provided after-school classes which Patricia had signed the kids up for, so they usually stayed on till nearly 7.00PM.

Subsequently, she lined up along with the other parents. She was known by all of the teachers in school thanks to the triplets; coincidentally, they were all in the same class.

The teacher then called out the names of the triplets and Sylvie was the first one to run out.

“Tricia, you’re here to pick us up today!”

Sylvie held a handmade necklace in her hands. “Look at the craftwork we did today in the after-school class. This is for you.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Patricia spoke to the teacher for a while before ushering the triplets toward the car.

The excited Sylvie continued, “Tricia! I made this necklace, so you must wear it every day!”

Patricia looked down and saw the tri-colored beads around her neck before frowning slightly. However, she did not bear to reject Sylvie after noticing her excitement. “Alright. I will keep it on.”

Meanwhile, Sylvie turned to look at Scott and Stellan who were holding onto their craft work as well.

“Stellan! Scott! You two made Tricia bracelets too, right? Put it on for her.”

Sylvie was an outwardly innocent and adorable child while Scott and Stellan were much more mature in comparison. The brothers felt that their works were only good enough for display and that their mommy would be ridiculed if she put it on.

Noticing her two sons who were walking behind by themselves, Patricia turned around and headed toward them. She then stretched out her hand. “Put it on for me.”

As a mother, she was definitely going to play along and preserve her kids’ child-like innocence as much as possible. Furthermore, it was even more important for these two kids here as they tend to behave haughtily at times.

Scott exchanged glances with the smiling Stellan. “Mommy, we’re not young kids anymore. We know the bracelet isn’t a toy.”

After saying that, Stellan placed the bracelet in his hand into Patricia’s palm and Scott did the same as well. Both of them glanced in the other direction as they handed over the bracelets awkwardly.

She noticed the bracelet that Scott had made was a black one while Stellan had made a gray one. To that, she could not help but burst into laughter.

“It must be tough on both of you to accompany Sylvie for classes.”

The brothers were highly intelligent and were able to learn things by themselves quickly. They had already completed the elementary school curriculum, but because they had to take care of their naughty little sister, they had no choice but to attend kindergarten with her.
