Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 3

Chapter 503: A Child With A Mother Is A Gem

The little bun clung onto Jennie and wriggled a little in her embrace. He dared not blink as he stared at her, afraid that once he blinked, she would disappear.

Jennie watched him and felt her heart ache, then kissed the little bun on both his cheeks, "Aunty Jenjen is real, you're not dreaming! Daddy brought Aunty Jennie here to see you because you were sick."

The little bun who was cheered up by the kisses blushed, all the insecurities in his heart vanishing instantly. He pursed his lips shyly and returned Jennie a kiss.

Jennie held his face with her hands, she felt so happy and blessed. She thought that only winning an Oscar would feel like this.

As she looked at the little bun's moving eyes that seemed as if they could speak, Jennie wanted to play with him for a little while more. However, she knew that at that very moment, many people were still waiting anxiously outside, so she said, "Baby, you're hungry, aren't you? Let Aunty bring you out for some food, okay?"

The little bun nodded obediently.

"Hold on, let Aunty put on your clothes for you!" Jennie carried the little bun and walked to the wardrobe, then started picking out his clothes for him.

"Which one do you want to wear?"

The little bun looked at the wardrobe and pointed his stubby little fingers at the set of cartoon sweaters Jennie had bought for him.

"Mmm, I was thinking the same thing."

After she helped the little bun put on his clothes, Jennie carried him out.

As soon as they walked out, everyone's attention turned to them right away.

The little boy who lay on the bed with no spirit last night had now changed into a brightly colored outfit. His eyes were much more active now too and he was practically a different person.

The servants all had the same thought, "Indeed, a child with a mother is a gem..."

Seeing their dearest grandson awake and looking handsome and lovable, Mother Manoban's eyes welled up with tears, "Leo...Leo is awake! Quick, come over for dinner! You haven't eaten in so long, you must be hungry!"

Father Manoban greeted him too, "Don't just stand there, come sit down for dinner!"

At the dinner table, Father Manoban sat at the main seat with Lisa on his left. Initially, he wanted to let Leo sit on his right, but the little guy's head turned away from him and he quickly hugged Jennie's neck, refusing to let go.

At last, Lisa pulled out the chair beside him for Jennie to sit, while Mother Manoban and Qin Mufeng sat opposite them.

Of course, everyone was anxious to see whether Leo was really willing to speak now.

At last, the elders could not suppress it anymore.

"Leo, do you still feel sick?" Mother Manoban asked lovingly.

Leo was focused on being fed porridge by Jennie and he did not answer.

Mother Manoban naturally did not take that to heart, so she continued to ask caringly, "Leo, is the porridge nice? You're sick, so you can't eat food that's too oily. Later, Grandma will make you more delicious food, okay?"

"You're not too well, Grandpa has applied for leave from school for you, so you don't have to go to school for the next few days!"

...

The elders continued to talk to Leo. However, his reaction towards their questions seemed to be a little slow. He only gave very indifferent responses and did not even hear some.

It seemed like he had returned to his old ways that very night...

This made Mother Manoban anxious. The little bun had finally said one word and before they could even confirm if he was really willing to speak, how could he return to his original ways again?
