MainNovelChapter 309: As Brenna pondered what dishes to prepare, Ellie interjected, "Just any home-cooked food will do. I'm tired of foreign cuisine. I just want to eat something and sleep." Patrick frowned. "Mommy, but I want to go out and play!" Ellie gently tapped her son's cheek. "Let Brenna take you out to play. I need to catch ssleep." She then said to Brenna, "Patrick was so bored on the plane he slept the entire way, but I was up working. I had a client pressing me, so I spent the flight working on a design draft. By the twe landed, I sent it off to the stuto start on the samples. I'm exhausted from that. You need to take care of Patrick fornow." Brenna sympathized with Patrick, patting his head. "Poor thing, you must have had a tough tliving abroad with your mom. She doesn't know how to cook, so you probably ate a lot of fast food.” Patrick nodded earnestly. “She really can't cook, but she did taketo nice restaurants when she had time. It's not so bad."

The smile quickly faded from Patrick's face. He let go of Ethan's leg and stepped back beside Brenna, his expression filled with deep sadness. He looked up at Brenna, his eyes glossy with tears about to fall. His mother had promised that when they returned, he would meet his father.
He had been back in the country for several hours but still hadn't met his father. Did Mommy lie to me? Do I really have a father?”
Brenna comforted him softly, "Everyone has a mom and dad, and so do you. Once your mom gets enough rest, she'll surely take you to see your dad." Patrick gave a reluctant nod, his lips pressed together in silence.
Ethan watched the little boy with curiosity, wondering who them handschild belonged to.
