Chapter 31 A Video Call With Cutie
‘You’re welcome!
At that moment, Celia suddenly realized something. Would she be disturbing him by suddenly sending him messages via Skype? ‘Did I disturb you?‘ she asked.
‘No.‘ The man’s reply was short and simple.
Celic thought about whether she should reply but did not know what to say.
‘I need to fetch my son. Talk to you next time. The other party suddenly sent a message.
‘Sure. Drive safe,’ Celia hurriedly replied.
When the other did not reply, she sighed in relief before looking back at the words of comfort he had sent her. He was right. All she needed was to live her own life. She would not be returning to that home! She had been living alone just fine for the past five years.
In the meantime, a black Rolls–Royce exited Spencer Group’s underground parking lot. The sunset’s rays reflected off its black body, giving the car an extremely dignified and domineering look.
Hugo had one hand on the steering wheel while waiting for the traffic light. However, his mind wasn’t filled with work but with the woman he had chatted with just now. Never would he have thought he would chat with an unfamiliar woman and not despise her for wasting his time.
As for the reason, the first would be that she saved his son. Secondly, it was because her voice sounded a lot like Celia’s, which sort of attracted him. As for her looks, he did not care.
In fact, he had automatically associated Celia’s face with the sweet voice when he first started. talking to her. Also, he hoped to keep that woman’s appearance a mystery that would never be revealed.
That night, Celia was testing out the perfume on the stack of test strips Bryce had sent her.
It was around 9.00PM when her phone suddenly rang. She had received a message, so she looked and saw it was from Jeremy’s father. But she knew the one texting her now must be Jeremy. ‘Are you asleep? Can we talk?”
Although the question seemed like it was from a mature person, Celia knew that Jeremy’s father would chat with her via Skype and not by text. ‘No, I’m not asleep yet! Are you still awake too, Jeremy?‘ she asked straightforwardly.
At that moment, Jeremy sent a voice message. “How did you know it was me, Pretty Lady?”
Celia replied with a voice message too. “I guessed it.”
Jeremy, who was on the master room bed, happily rolled around in bed. “Can we have a video call? I really want to see you!”

“Huh? Right now?” Celia was a little frantic because it was already so late and might not be appropriate. But hearing the excitement in Jeremy’s voice, she could not bear to reject him.
“That’s right! Right now. My daddy is still working, and I’m bored.”
“Alright! Wait a moment, and I’ll call you via Skype. Remember to accept the call.” After Celia said that, she used her computer to call Jeremy via Skype.
Soon, a cute, handsome little face appeared on her screen. Who else could it be but Jeremy?
Celia had the urge to pinch his face through the screen. He was just too cute.
Meanwhile, Jeremy also saw Celia on his screen and grinned, revealing his white baby teeth. “Pretty Lady, are you at home?”
“Yes, I am. Why are you alone in your room?” she asked.
“My daddy is having a video conference call, so he can’t spend time with me.” Jeremy pouted. From the screen, Celia could see his two thick and long eyelashes swaying like butterflies, and his large, obsidian eyes reminded her of the starry sky. The little fellow’s face was perfectly flawless at every camera angle.
In the meantime, Celia stared at the small face for a while and suddenly thought of something. What’s going on? Why do I think Jeremy’s face resembles a particular someone the more I look at him?
She quickly shook her head. How could that be possible? How could such a cute kid resemble that devil?
“Miss Wagner, has my daddy treated you to a meal?”
“Um… Your daddy has invited me to a meal, but I’m quite busy lately.” Celia felt sort of embarrassed. To tell the truth, she thought her personality made it tough to have a meal with strangers, especially single men.
“Then, you must accept my daddy’s invitation to a meal when you have the time!” Jeremy suggested while blinking his sparkling eyes, looking adorable.
“Sure. I will.
Celia could tell Jeremy was from an extremely wealthy family just by looking at the decor in his bedroom. It was a pity that his family was a single–parent family. But judging from his cheery and smiley personality, he did not seem like a neglected child, so she trusted that his father must have given him much attention and care.
At that moment, Celia’s phone rang. When she saw it was from Bryce, she thought he might be calling about the story, so she explained to Jeremy, “Jeremy, I have a call from work. I’ll talk to you again next time!”
“Sure! Remember to rest early, Miss Wagner!”
“You too,” she replied.

Celia touched her lips with her hand and returned the kiss. “Bye, cutie.”
Once the video call ended, she answered Bryce’s call.
Finished
At the same time in Hugo’s bedroom, Jeremy was reminiscing about the video call with Celia when the door opened, followed by the appearance of a tall, handsome figure.
“Daddy, can you guess what I just did?” The little boy swayed his legs.
“What did you do?” Hugo narrowed his eyes while asking.
“I had a video call with Pretty Lady. She’s so pretty.” Although the child still had no sense of beauty, he could tell from the video that Celia looked beautiful and gentle while working.
Hugo could not help but be stunned and somewhat surprised because it was the first time he saw his son care about a woman.
“Is she?” He smiled. Something was lacking in his son’s life–Motherly love. Could that be why his son liked that woman so much? Was he searching for someone to love him like a mother would?
“I’ll go take a bath. You should sleep first. Hugo grabbed his phone, forbidding his son from playing with it anymore.
In the meantime, Jeremy obediently lay in bed and pulled the covers over him while blinking his large eyes. “Daddy, do you want a wife?”
Hugo rubbed his small head. “You are everything I need.”
“Daddy, promise me you’ll treat Pretty Lady to a meal! I’m sure you’ll like her once you meet her.” The little guy was confident in his taste in women and was sure that his father would like the same woman he did.
Hugo smiled. “Okay. I promise I will invite her to a meal.”
He had no intention of marrying another woman, even if that woman vowed to love his son. That was because such a life would harm his son in the long run, and if they had another child, that would hurt his son even more..
Since he had done such an inhumane thing and said so many hurtful words before Jeremy was born, he would not let any harm come to his son. He still could not get the scene of the weak little human inside the incubator out of his head. Jeremy was only three months old when he contracted pneumonia, and Hugo could remember how pitiful the little baby in his arms looked, coughing so hard that he trembled and cried.
That was the toughest time in his life, and he wished he could bear all the pain of being sick so his son could grow up healthy.
