The Dandelion Motel

Little Friend

And taraaa......

A small creature with clear eyes and adorable chubby cheeks crawled out from under the bed.

He smiled innocently innocently.

It's William.

But what's he doing there?

Didn't he come home with his mother?

Did he hear everything?

Oh, naw!

What would Rosaline and Leon explain if the boy asked?

Amidst their shock, Rosaline's phone suddenly rang.

"Mother?" whispered. Then lift it without waiting.

"Honey, sorry I forgot that you left William there. God, what do you think about forgetting your own grandchild. Is mom getting senile?" he feels very guilty.

"Ah yes ma'am, William is with us here. I don't have to worry." Rosaline tried to calm down.

"Actually mom is a little troubled. Daniel and Karina leave William at home because Karina's health is not good. His heart disease is relapsing and must be treated in hospital. While Daniel has a job abroad that can not be left and will go home in a few days. I'm actually not good at asking for this, but can you keep William until tonight? Tomorrow morning I'll send a driver to pick her up. Please, dear."

"Mother don't have to beg, me and Leon will take care of William. But isn't mom busy with the foundation? How about William stay here with us as long as Karina is hospitalized?" rosaline.

Leon who heard that instantly widened his eyes towards Rosaline a sign of disapproval.

"No, no, I won't bother you. Moreover, you are not healthy at this time. I'll have the driver pick her up in the morning."

"I'm just pregnant, ma'am. Not sick. I would be happy if Mom allowed it. From tomorrow Leon will be busy taking care of his new company, so I'll be lonely at home."

"Are you really not going to fuss? You'd better ask Leon's opinion first, maybe he'll object."

"Not at all, ma'am. If I were to ask for it, Leon would definitely not mind." while glancing with a seductive expression towards Leon.

Leon could only sigh violently.

Rosaline gave a bottle of banana-flavored milk to William who was sitting at the dinner table and did not dare to look at him.

While Leon sat beside Rosaline folding his elbow arrogantly.

"So, since when have you been hiding under our beds?" rosaline asked gently.

The boy looked scared, knowing what he was doing was wrong.

"Why shut up? Let's answer!" leon exclaimed coldly and tightly, leaving the boy a little aghast.

Rosaline shook her head gently, gesturing so that Leon would not be rude.

William, however, was a child, only 6 years old.

"Aishhhh" snorted Leon while looking away.

"Open up, aunts and uncles won't scold you." said Rosaline.

"So I was playing hide-and-seek with aunt Ema (ART at Rosaline and Leon's house), because auntie ema said she was going out for a while, so I looked for grandma in aunt's room, but grandma wasn't there and only aunt was asleep." said the boy slightly stammered.

"Then why are you under the bed?" ask Rosaline.

"There was a thunderbolt. I'm afraid of the sound of lightning, bi. So I hid under aunt's bed and fell asleep." still bowing his head.

It was raining a lot this afternoon, but because Rosaline was sleeping so hard she didn't realize it.

"Alright, finish your milk." said Rosaline while researching William with an anxious expression.

"Isn't she so adorable?" while gently pinching the two cheeks of the boy.

Leon who witnessed it just clucked.

"Come, we'll talk!" Leon invites Rosaline into his room to talk 4 points.

"Are you sure you'll take care of him? Your own condition is not good." said Leon doubted his wife's decision.

"Come, baby. I beg! William is already a big boy, he is not a baby to be held and fed. We just need to look after her as long as her mother is sick, after that she'll go back to her house." Rosaline said.

"No, I still disagree!" Leon is still adamant.

"Yakkk....Leon, don't you feel sorry for your mother? At her current age and among her busyness taking care of the foundation, she had to take care of a child as well!" Rosaline began to raise her voice.

"Did Karina and Daniel fall into poverty until they couldn't afford a nurse?" leon won't budge.

"You're so mean! She's your niece, if we can take care of her why look for a nun?" Rosaline was still trying to persuade and soften her voice.

"Honey, I beg you." whined Rosaline spoiled.

"Alright, you can take care of him. But beware if you complain!" Leon finally collapsed.

'This woman is truly a crafty witch.' her inner self.

No matter how harsh Leon's nature, he would be devastated if it concerned his wife.

Yes, Rosaline will always be her weakness as well as her strength.

"No will! I promise !" rosaline hugged her husband warmly.

"Chhhhh" Leon clucked and returned his wife's embrace with equal warmth.

After a very tough debate and resulted in a victory for Rosaline, they went back to Willian who was still sitting at the dinner table.

"You've finished your milk?" rosaline asked as she stroked her hair and sat down beside her.

The boy nodded, now he could smile.

"Will I stay here tonight, auntie?" ask William.

"How about you, do you want to stay with your aunt and uncle here for a while?" rosaline asked again, bringing her face closer to William's.

William nodded slowly.

"Smart kid. Auntie promised we'd have fun, okay!"

Again William just nodded, this time complete with an adorable sweet smile.

"Oh yeah, was the aunt fighting with the uncle? I heard my uncle groaning in pain, did auntie hurt him?" william asked suddenly with his innocent gaze.

As soon as Rosaline's face reddened, she misbehaved herself at a loss for what to answer.

While Leon chuckled at the puzzled expression of his wife.

"No, why did auntie have to hurt uncle? Your uncle said he had a stomachache" replied Rosaline, who was elbowing Leon's hand next to her.

"Oh yes, my uncle had a stomachache" Leon said, trying to hold back his laughter.

"This house is still foreign to me. Can I sleep with you?"

At once Leon glanced sharply at Rosaline who was sitting next to him.
