Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 138 I Like Them

Some childhood memories jumped into Starry's mind. But it was too far away and she couldn't

remember clearly.

"I can't remember. But I do remember your mother was pretty."

By then she was only four and she left the kindergarten at half past three. But her parents were both

school teachers and they were still working at that moment.

By then Grandma Dolores had already retired and she took the responsibility to look after her.

Every day it was Grandma Dolores who picked her up from the kindergarten. After the dinner, she

would stay here watching TV for half an hour before her parents were finally home. They would pick

her up and took her back to her home.

By then, she spent more time in Grandma Dolores's home than in hers.

It was during summer holiday, but her parents went to the city to receive some training. Then her

parents asked Grandma Dolores to take care of her.

One day a beautiful lady brought a little boy here. She said she was Grandma Dolores's daughter.

The beautiful lady could make good-looking and tasty cakes for her. She loved to eat cakes and her

mother didn't allow her to do so. The beautiful lady was like an angel for her.

But she couldn't remember Wyatt anymore.

By then she was just four years old and Wyatt didn't expect her to remember.

He smiled and changed the topic, "How long do you plan to stay here?"

"I have no idea."

It's good to play chess with Grandpa Stephen every day.

Wyatt raised his eyebrows as he heard her answer, "You want to live here for a long time?"

"Is that okay?"

Starry looked up at him and she tried to have her both hands with a "fairy wand" so she just held her

walking stick under shoulder and held another "fairy wand" in her spare hand.

Wyatt didn't take another "fairy wand" and he just fixed his eyes on the "fairy wands" in her hands, "Of Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

course okay."

He halted for a second before he added, "My grandparents like you so much."

"I also like them."

"By the way, how's your new book?"

Starry looked upwards at him, "You want to sign a new contract with me now?"

He tried to imitate her tone, "Is that okay?"

Starry stared at him and burst into laughter, "Of course okay. But I haven't finished it yet."

"So, a deal?"

She lowered her head to look at her "fairy wands", "It's not our first cooperation."

"And certainly not the last one."

It was still snowing and the ground was soon covered all over with snow again.

And after the fairy wand extinguished, Starry stared at the snow on the ground, "I haven't made a

snowman for a long time."

"So, you want to make one now?"

"No. It's too late now and you should have a rest, Mr. Matthews."

Without the presence of Grandma Dolores and Grandpa Stephen, she called him Mr. Matthews again.

Wyatt snorted and said, "For my grandparent's sake, call me Wyatt please."

"Maybe next time."

Wyatt checked his phone, "It's already nine. I'll send you back to your home."

"Thank you."

Wyatt held out his hand, "Give it to me."

Starry felt confused for a second before she knew that he was asking her to give her the "fairy wands"

in her hands. She gave them to him and then held the walking stick in her hand again. It was hard for

her to get back home with a broken leg.

Wyatt walked beside her and walked as slowly as she did.

It took Starry almost two minutes to get to the gate of her house.

Starry opened the door with her key, "Thank you for your company, Mr. Matthews. Good night."

"Good night."

He waved his hand at her and left.

Starry pulled the door open and got inside.

The house was empty for a whole afternoon and it became quite gloomy and cold at this moment.

Starry turned on the light and she felt as lonely as the old house.

She sat on the sofa and soon she was covered all over with coldness.

The coffee in the coffee pot had already become cold. She touched the pot and instantly had no

intention to drink it.

Then she checked her phone and found that Izabella had sent her a message to ask about her leg.

She received the message at about half past six and Starry didn't check her phone until now.

She replied that "It's good." Then she checked Edward's message. He was sending his best New Year

wishes for her.

There were many messages with New Year wishes for her and she didn't want to reply them one by

one anymore.

Starry stayed on the sofa for a bout ten minutes. It was too cold and she couldn't stand it anymore. She

walked back to her room with her walking stick and turned on her electric radiator.

But there was not electric radiator in the bathroom of the old house. She waited for a while before the

water got heated and then took a shower.

It was hard for her to take a shower with a broken leg.

Half an hour later, she got out of the bathroom in bath towel. She got herself a cup of hot milk and

turned off the light before she went to bed.

Maybe it was because she met someone in her childhood memory today that she dreamed of many

things happening in her childhood.

Before her parents' accident, her parents would bring her grandma over to celebrate the New Year

together with Grandma Dolores and Grandpa Stephen who lived next door.

She would wake up on the first day of the New Year and say "Happy New Year" to her parents, her

grandma and Grandma Dolores and Grandpa Stephen.

By then her biggest worry was when she could get enough money to buy a house large enough to hold

her parents, her grandma and Grandma Dolores and Grandpa Stephen.

She went to bed early that evening so she woke about six in the morning tomorrow.

It was cold inside the room and she didn't like to have the electric radiator turned on the whole night.

So, she had turned it off before she fell asleep.

The bed was also cold except the place she slept on.

She checked her phone and her finger trebled as she touched the cold shell of her phone.

As she saw the time, she sighed slightly.

It was too early.

But she was unable to sleep anymore.

Then she read some novels on her bed and then she couldn't stand it when it was already seven. Then

she got off her bed and put her clothes on.

Then she heard someone knocking on her door.

She got a piece of tissue to clean her face and jumped to the door to open it.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, Mr. Matthews."

Wyatt felt a bit embarrassed as he heard "Mr. Matthews", "My grandma asked you to have breakfast

with us."

Starry didn't refuse. She lived alone and it was hard to her to make breakfast for herself with a broken

leg.

"Thank you. Just wait for a second."

She said and didn't close the door and jumped back to her room.

Wyatt didn't get in and he just stood at the door looking inside. The house was decorated in the same

style as his grandparents'.

After a while, Starry got out of her room with her walking stick. She got a red muffler round her neck

and that made her look as beautiful as a flower.
