Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

“I’m not going back because there are many things I don’t understand. It would be inconvenient to go home and search for these things, so I used the office computer to look them up and decided to stay here.”

The assistant said a few more words after hearing Patrick’s words, but Patrick disagreed. The assistant could only go home by herself, and Patrick continued to flip through the reports and data, which was the most tedious task for one person.

Because a company’s data is divided into different departments and different business categories, it is very hard for one person to have a general understanding of all these data in a short time.

It is a laborious task because when a person is flooded with a lot of numbers at the same time, it can make that person feel mentally confused.

But Patrick can barely remember all these data after reading it twice, which is already an exceptional ability.

This is also due to Patrick’s sharp mind and business talent, which allows him to do this. Many other people probably wouldn’t be able to handle it. They would just work tirelessly day and night, and they would already be exhausted, not to mention the workload and data.

While matching the data reports, Patrick called Jane. He knew he still needed at least a week to finish busy work before he could go home. He missed his children.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“What’s wrong? Are you done with the work at the company?” Jane asked.

Patrick heard Jane’s voice and smiled, “Not so soon. I still need another week to come home. I miss the kids!”

“But I’ve already organized this batch of data and reports, and the rest of the time is for me to coordinate with various departments. So, I said about a week is enough.”

Upon hearing how hard Patrick was working, Jane felt sorry for him.

“You need to pace yourself. You can’t just put all your time into work, you need to balance work and rest to be most efficient. If you keep working all the time, even a strong body will be worn out.”

“And my son and I are waiting for you to come back. If you want our son to be happy, you can’t overwork yourself.”

Patrick quickly reassured her on the other end of the phone, even though he knew this promise was impossible to keep.

But he wanted to put Jane’s mind at ease. He just needed an excuse for not being able to come home. If he didn’t go home for so many days and then said he was very relaxed, that was impossible. With Jane being so intelligent, how could she not guess how busy he was?

They talked for a while, and then Jane deliberately brought the child over to the phone. When Patrick heard the child’s voice, he felt much more relaxed on his end of the phone.

There were more smiles on his face now, and he felt that all his efforts were worth it.

Because besides taking on the responsibilities of a father, working so hard was all for his children. He wanted to give them a good future and good opportunities.

“Alright, when I come back in a while, let’s spend some good time with the kids. It’s hard work for you and Harrison during this time.”

Jane was not satisfied when she heard this.

“You’re out there working, and what we’re doing here doesn’t count? We are both putting in effort, don’t say it’s hard work. Don’t say such things in the future!”

“They say a couple working together will share the same fate. We are working hard for our future. When everything is smooth, we will have leisure.”

They hung up the phone, and Jane put the child to sleep.

Patrick sat back at his desk and continued to work. For him, finishing these data reports would give him a glimmer of hope. He also considered where to start familiarizing himself with the company’s business, and he needed to quickly collect the data from below again.

Comparing this data with the current data was the most accurate representation.

The next day, Jane and the children were playing in the old yard.

The children ran around the yard, making Jane feel very happy, feeling like her children had grown up in the blink of an eye.

Harrison sat next to Jane, looking at her smile.

“I think our thoughts are completely different from when we were young. Now, when we see our children and have a happy family, we feel like the luckiest people.”

“I used to want to drive a luxury car, drink fine wine, and travel around the world. Now, it’s the children who have trapped me, and I willingly let myself be trapped by the children.”

Harrison said this to tease the children, and her heart was filled with emotion.

Jane nodded, knowing that a person who gives everything for their family can let go of their dreams, which is a great thing, but it’s just that there are too many people like this.

Because many people make this choice, it seems very ordinary, but in fact, they have given up too much when they look back. But they have also gained a lot. Just like the two children playing happily, it already makes them feel that everything is worth it.

“When the children are a little older, we can also go out and have fun. Then we can continue with our dreams.”

Harrison laughed at Jane’s words. She knew when a person waited until their children were older, they would already be middle-aged. How could they still have the thoughts of youth?

“I remember a saying, ‘return at fifty and still be the young person I once was.’ I hope we can have that mindset too!”

Jane nodded with a smile.

The two twins were playing happily, running back and forth, dashing towards Jane and then running off again. Harrison was worried they might fall while running and was watchfully guarding them, just like watching her own children.

When Jane saw this scene, she felt even warmer in her heart. Everything was so sunny, nothing like the darkness she had experienced before.

She now understood that all the darkness was just to make the sunshine brighter.
