Please Love Me, Mr. George

Chapter 310: The Leisure Times in the HL Area 3

Alex nodded, probably knowing what I was going to do, and left the room.

Fortunately, after he left, I breastfed Clarie Bear, and she became obedient.

When Leo came in again, he had someone move in a water dispenser, a bucket of mineral water, and a

new small basin.

“If you’re going to bathe Clarie Bear in a while, just use the mineral water, she has tender skin...” After

that, he looked at me attentively.

I nodded, poured some water, and wiped Clarie Bear’s face. The little guy bad slept well and had

enough food, so she was in good spirits.

After such a long day, I was a little sleepy. After Leo held Clarie Bear from me, I leaned on the couch

and unknowingly fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside. I sat up on the couch in shock when I saw Clarie Bear

was not around.

The blanket covering me had fallen to the ground. I looked around the room subconsciously and saw

that the baby was not in the hotel suite at all.

I tried to remain calm and took out my phone to call Leo.

Before the call was connected, the door was opened.

Leo came in with the stroller, and Clarie Bear had fallen asleep inside.

Seeing me freaking out in cold sweats, Leo was stunned for a second and then said, “I saw that you

haven’t brought much luggage with you when you came to City P, so I asked someone to help arrange

some new clothes and daily groceries for you. It’s colder here in City P than Newton Town, it’s easy for

you to get changed and wash often this way if you need.”

I nodded, looked at Clarie Bear, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back on the couch. I looked at Leo

and said, “Thank you. It’s getting late, you should get back now.”

He looked at me and said after a brief hesitation, “Clara, I know you still hold grudges against me. You

can punish me all you want, but I am your big brother, please don’t push me farther away. I just want to

take care of you and Clarie Bear.”

I pursed my lips, sank my eyes, and said, “No, it’s not necessary. I can take care of her myself, you

should leave now!”

Leo frowned, a little helpless, “Why do you have to be so stubborn? The die is cast, there's no turning

back. It’s not helpful for us to dwell on it. You keep pushing all of us away like this, have you thought

about Clarie Bear’s future?”

I raised my eyes to look at him, but my emotions were very light, “Yes, what happened, happened. All I

want is a little space and time. What’s wrong with that?”

He was stunned for a moment and went silent for a while. Afterward, he sighed and said helplessly,

“Okay, I will give you some time and space.”

That I came to City P, on one hand, was for the AI project of the Gibson group, because I had been in

charge of it the whole time. If I left suddenly now, it’d be challenging for others to pick up and follow up

on it with limited time and preparation.

On the other hand, I was here to farewell properly with Link Kennedy. I would probably stay in HL Area

for a few more years after I left this time.

Besides, it wouldn’t be convenient for me to travel with Clarie Bear back and forth.

Four years later!

Time had flown by in the blink of an eye. I bought an old house in the alley of the HL Area and moved

in with Clarie Bear.

It wasn’t really an old house. After all, it had been renovated and looked as much as a brand new one.

The house was not huge. There were two floors and four rooms, but the yard was relatively large, and

the different households

were separated by walls.

The environment and climate in the HL Area were excellent. In addition to the locals, there were also

some foreigners who had

come here in their retirements and those who had come to enjoy rural life.

The yard was big, and the children had a lot of room for activities. I watched Clarie Bear grow up

gradually from learning to

walk staggeringly to being able to run around.

The longer I had spent in HL Area, the more relieved I had felt about the past.

When we first came to the HL Area, Clarie Bear wasn’t used to the environment yet, so she would

wake up in the middle of the

night crying. No matter what I did, she wouldn’t calm down. After a while, whenever she cried, I would

cry along with her too.

Clarie Bear got sick afterward, and she began to be sensible at the age of one. It seemed that she

could read my emotions,

and she had become more well-behaved.

The HL Area was a remote location. I didn’t start looking for a job until Clarie Bear had turned three

years old.

On the first day of sending Clarie Bear to kindergarten, she took my hand and said, “Mommy, you must

come to pick me up at

night. I will be waiting for you.”

In the past three years, Clarie Bear had healed me.

She had helped me move on from my deceased baby, as well as everyone in City P and Newton Town.

It seemed that now my life had no more connection with any of them.

I hugged her and kissed her, “Mommy will be here for you on time!”

This child and I had become one already, inseparable.

There were no public companies or advanced technology companies in HL Area. I was a single mom

and my first job was as a

dishwasher in a smaii restaurant.

In the corner of the restaurant’s back kitchen, I was wiping the dishes. There was a lot of noise around,

but I was enjoying the

quietness handling the softness of the foam.

I wasn’t living an as prosperous and grand life here as in City P, but I had precious peace of mind.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, I went to pick up Clarie Bear on time. I then took her back to the back

kitchen. She would stay

by my side when I cleaned the dishes.

She would always ask me, “Mommy, do I have a daddy?”

I asked her, “Do you need a papa?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

She was more sensible than I thought, and she would ask me, “Do you want me to have one?”

I smiled lightly. I took Clarie Bear to buy her a box of steamed buns on the way home when the lanterns

on each side of the

road had first come on.

Then we went back to the yard and sat on the stone bench to enjoy these buns together. The taste was

extraordinarily good.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, I would also dream of Diana. In my dreams, she was still the

same little girl as when

she was a child. She would come to me with a few ripe green awns in the season.

And she and I would slice the green mangoes in the yard and eat them tossed with chili powder. The

two of us always liked to

eat it and hung out for an afternoon.

After Clarie Bear had gotten used to the life in HL Area, I began to sleep better and better, and it was

often already dawn

when I woke up.

Half a year ago, a resort hotel was built by the lake in HL Area. I quit the job at the restaurant and

started working at the hotel

as a cleaning lady.

The work was not hard.

Besides, it was close to where Clarie Bear went to school, so I could pick her up easily.

In the evening, I finished the cleaning work in the hotel, changed my clothes, and got ready to pick up

Clarie Bear.

Nathan leaned against the door frame, looked at me, and said, “Are you going to pick up Clarie?”

I nodded and looked back at him. The man was in his forties, tall and handsome. I asked, “Do you need

me to pick up Joey for

you?”

He smiled lightly, shook his head, raised his eyebrows, and said, “I mean I will drive you there. Let’s

go.”

Nathan was the manager of the hotei. When I entered the hotel, he was my interviewer. After reading

my resume, he was a

little puzzled and asked me, “You graduated from a famous university, why would you apply for the

cleaning position?”

I smiled, “It’s also a professional job, after all. Besides, the salary of the cleaning position is decent.”

He raised his eyebrows but smiled. Indeed, other positions in the hote! had a probation period plus a

promotion period.

The starting salaries of other positions were low. But the salary of a cleaning lady was a flat payment,

not a bad one.

We worked in the same place, and it was probably a coincidence that later we found out that we were

both single parents, so we got closer.

He was the manager, so he would inevitably get too busy to pick up his child at times. Occasionally he

would ask me for help

pick up Joey when I went to pick up Clarie.

After leaving the hotel with Nathan, he picked up his car. It wasn’t too far away, and it only took a bit

over ten minutes to drive there.

There were many parents who had come to pick up their children at the kindergarten, and they were all

waiting at the gate.

There were some elderly who had come to get their grandchildren, too.

The resting area outside the school was packed with elderly people
