Chapter 565
Hayes was feeling a bit anxious. He scrambled onto the bed and grabbed his writing pad, scrawling a message with such fervor that his pen practically punched through the paper,
“Daddy said that Manley had a nightmare, right? We just made up with him after that big fight; we can’t let another misunderstanding get in the way. Plus… Manley’s been really generous with us too. He got you those Hello Kitty stickers and even gave me a Bumblebee action figure!”
Teresa could feel the guilt weighing on her as she read Hayes’ earnest words.
That’s right; during their previous hospital stay, their room had been so bare and boring. Out of sheer boredom, Manley had used a kid’s tablet to order takeout, even treating her to some cupcakes and her favorite stickers.
The thought of his kindness made her dislike for him waver. She sighed and turned away, sullenly fiddling with her toys.
Hayes wobbled back, clutching a Transformer toy and pushing it into Marguerite’s arms with his little voice trembling, “The… misunderstanding… is the biggest… you go talk…*

Hayes nodded happily, his voice soft and sweet, “Okay!”
Marguerite left the children’s bedroom and made her way to Manley’s room.
The door to Manley’s room was ajar.copy right hot novel pub
