Wake Up Leave The Liar novel Chapter 356

Chapter 334

For the next two or three days, Ashley was as busy as ever.

Mer

During these days, because she left early and returned late every day, even though Sam had moved into the Jones Family home, their time together as mother and son wasn’t actually that much.

And although Chase was also busy with work, it was said that he would basically call Sam every day.

However, she wasn’t present when they spoke on the phone, so she wasn’t clear about what they talked about.

Sam’s birthday was on Friday.

Perhaps it was because Chase usually gave him enough love and care; as Sam’s birthday approached, when he learned that Chase was basically confirmed to be unable to make it back for his birthday, Sam wasn’t particularly disappointed. Instead, he hugged Ashley’s arm and said, “It’s okay, having Mom celebrate my birthday with me is enough.”

When he learned that she was busy with work and wouldn’t have much time to spend with him on his birthday, perhaps only able to cook him some birthday noodles and give him a gift, Sam was actually a little disappointed.

He hadn’t eaten a cake made by Ashley in a long time.

He was starting to miss it.

He had thought that Ashley would make him a cake no matter what.

However, during his time at the Jones Family’s home, he had also witnessed Ashley’s busyness. Regarding this, even if he was disappointed, he didn’t whine or make any hard demands, only saying, “Okay, I see…”

Ashley was truly busy these days.

Whether it was Eternal, Sterling Corp, or Jexel, she had a pile of things waiting for her to deal with these past few days.

She had been working overtime until late every night these past few days, truly swamped.

After all, it was Sam’s birthday.

She gave birth to him, so no matter what, she should bear some responsibility for him.

She and Chase hadn’t officially divorced yet, and she had already let go and ignored him, which was already somewhat irresponsible.

And now…

Thinking of this, Ashley said, “If Mom gets off work early tomorrow, I’ll make you a cake.”

Sam said happily, “Okay! Thank you, Mom!”

However, on Thursday, Ashley was so busy she was seeing stars, and by the time she finished work and came back to her senses, it was already three or four in the morning.

By the time she got home and washed up, it was already five in the morning.

But she still had to go to Jezel for a meeting after nine, so she had no time at all to make a cake.

She only had time to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Sam and give him the gift, then she rushed off to Jexel for the meeting.

That day, by the time she finished work, it was already past nine in the evening.

Ashley checked the time and thought about how she had left a gift that morning but had to rush off without saying much to Sam, and her expression paused slightly.

Tim saw that her expression was a bit off and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Today is actually Sam’s birthday,”

Tim could actually understand Ashley’ conflicting feelings towards Sam.

He also knew that no matter what, Ashley still couldn’t completely let go of the other person in her heart.

Thinking that Ashley had been busy all day and didn’t even have time to make a single call back, he checked the time and said, “There’s still time. It’s not too late to go back and spend some time with him now.” Ashley:”Mhm.”

After leaving the company, Ashley drove home.

When she arrived home, Amanda was still awake.

Seeing her return, the old lady said softly, “You’ve been out all day, and Chase hasn’t called back either. Sam hasn’t been very happy all day today.”

Ashley was stunned for a moment.

Chase not calling back all day was something she hadn’t expected.

The old lady sighed again, patted her hand gently, and said, “He’s not asleep yet, go up and keep him company.”

Ashley nodded, turned and went upstairs.

Upstairs, Sam was lying on the bed reading comics.

Seeing her return, he greeted her, his expression like this: Mommy’s back?”

Mm.” Ashley put down her bag, her steps pausing for two seconds before she walked towards him:”Sorry, Mommy’s busy with work, so…

I know.” Sam looked up at her:”Mommy, I understand.

Looking at him like this, Sam was actually quite sensible, but Ashley knew he was genuinely unhappy.

When truly happy, Sam actually loved to act spoiled with her.

If it were before, if Sam was unhappy, she had many ways to cheer him up.

But now, standing by, she suddenly didn’t know what to say or do to comfort him.

It wasn’t until this moment that Ashley realized that the way they, mother and son, usually got along seemed no different from the past.
