Mommy,We Got a Husband -
Chapter 116 Mrs. Marigold is Back
These days, Galatea had been busy with her clinic. Those thugs haven't returned, so the renovation went particularly smoothly.
Moreover, Alaric never came to look for her during this time, which made her feel uncomfortable. However, she also thought about what Cormac had told her, which made her empathize with him slightly. She took out her phone to call him, but suddenly remembered Cormac's words to her.
"Nobody can change him except for you. He definitely cares about you, so stay strong during this cold war and don't pay attention to him. Let him apologize to you first; this is your chance to teach him a lesson." Thinking of that, Galatea found it somewhat funny. He was quite straightforward, but he was right!
Alaric was very domineering and controlling. If she submitted to him, he'd control her completely. This time, she made up her mind that if he didn't apologize first, she wouldn't yield! Just as she was thinking, her phone rang and showed that it was Elisa calling.
"Hello, Elisa."
Elisa asked, "Mommy, what have you been busy with lately? You don't return when we go to bed, and in the morning, we don't even have time to talk before going to school." "Mommy is working on my job," Galatea replied.
"I heard from Marcella, but did you really forget about us over your career? We miss you," Elisa said.
Feeling guilty from Elisa's words, Galatea quickly replied, "Alright, Mommy will come back now."
Stanley's renovation team did an extremely meticulous job, and she was completely satisfied with their work.
"Stanley, I'm going home to my kids. Just lock up when you're done," she said.
"Got it, Dr. Galatea. You go ahead now!" he replied.
She changed her clothes and left. Ambrose, who was watching her through the telescope, had only been observing for a few minutes.
He was annoyed that she left so early this time. It was normal for her to stay over till late before, so why did she leave so early today?
He usually stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and watched her through the telescope for several hours. Now that she was leaving early, he felt a sense of pain.
'Stellan, I'll definitely get Far East International as soon as possible, and then I can be with you every day. I won't have to watch you secretly anymore,' he monologued.
When Galatea returned home, Elisa ran over and hugged her, pouting. "Mommy, I missed you so much!"
Galatea rubbed her head with a loving smile. "When Mommy's clinic finishes renovations, I'll take you to see it. You'll love it!"
"Is Mommy going to be a big boss soon?" Elisa asked excitedly.
"It's just a small clinic, not a big company," Galatea replied.
Caspian spoke up, "From a small clinic to a big one, and then to a private hospital. By that time, won't you be a big boss? I believe Mommy will be the director of a chain of private hospitals in just a few years!" "Thanks for your kind words," Galatea said before looking around and asking, "Where is Mia?"
"Marcella said she had a slight headache and went to sleep early."
Mia had always suffered from hypertension, so a headache meant that her condition has flared up again.
"Well, let's not disturb her and go to the bedroom," Galatea said, leading the two children into the bedroom.
"Mommy, can we go to the ranch with Daddy again this weekend?" Elisa was still unsatisfied with the last visit, unable to stop thinking about it.
Galatea gently persuaded, "Daddy and I have been busy lately, so we might not be able to go this weekend. Next time, okay?"
"Okay." Elisa reluctantly accepted. Although she was unwilling, she had no other choice.
Since Galatea hadn't been with the children recently, she decided to spend the evening playing games and reading with them, staying up until almost eleven before going to bed. She had been exhausted lately, so she fell asleep instantly and slept all night.
When the alarm went off, she struggled to open her eyes and walked out of the bedroom. Hearing noises from the kitchen, she went to go check. Mia was already cooking breakfast.
"Mia, I thought you were unwell? Why are you up so early?" she hurried into the kitchen and took the cookware from Mia. "Go lie down; I'll take care of it."
Mia replied, "I just felt a little dizzy yesterday. I took some medicine and slept, and now I'm fine. You've been really busy lately, so let me do the cooking."
Galatea still took over and said, "You're getting older-you can't overexert yourself like this. Anyway, I found a housekeeper online yesterday. She should be here in a couple of days, so she can handle the household chores and cooking from now on. You should focus on your health."
Previously, she didn't consider Mia's health and relied on her for everything.
"I'm perfectly fine now, so why do you need a housekeeper? You've taken out so many loans lately, and the monthly repayments are so heavy. You can't spend money recklessly like this," Mia said.
Galatea insisted, "Mia, you don't need to worry about that. Once the clinic opens, we'll be getting profits soon. You need to trust me, okay? After all, you've been through thick and thin with me since the Storm family went bankrupt. Now, it's time for you to enjoy life."
Mia felt comforted hearing this and said, "What have I done to deserve this much care?"
"Don't say that. In my heart, you've never been just a servant," Galatea replied.
Mia smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to your arrangements."
As Galatea mentioned, the housekeeper she hired arrived today. She seemed very friendly, which left Galatea satisfied.
With her and Mia at home, Galatea was relieved and returned to the clinic to continue overseeing the renovation.
Around noon, she got a message. Thinking it was just another spam message, she only took a casual glance. However, to her surprise... It was a reply to the post she had made.
Since someone asked if there was a prize for finding the person, Galatea decided to go with their request. If someone could give her Mrs. Marigold's real identity, she'd reward them with five thousand dollars.
"This old lady in the painting is Mrs. Marigold. I ran into her at the airport today by chance, and she was with several bodyguards coming out of the VIP channel. She seemed really impressive."
The reply came with a picture taken from a distance. The woman in it was dressed in a cheongsam, exuding a strong aura while surrounded by bodyguards.
Galatea zoomed in and was shocked. Wasn't this Mrs. Marigold?!
She then looked at the time of the response, which came in just now. Did that mean Mrs. Marigold was currently at the airport?
