Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 41

The next morning, the crew finally returned to Maeloria. Everyone went their separate ways, heading home.

In the Carters‘ car, Rebecca slowly woke up after a night’s sleep. She groggily opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the babies in the nannies‘ arms across from her.

Debra was holding her daughter and quickly noticed Rebecca waking up. She couldn’t help but smile and softly say, “Morning.”

Rebecca looked up at Debra, suddenly realizing she had fallen asleep in her mother’s arms last night. Her ears turned red in embarrassment. She was already a mother of two, yet here she was, acting like a child.

“Morning.” She nodded shyly. She didn’t want to hide her feelings in front of her mom.

Debra’s heart melted even more at her daughter’s response.

“Want to sleep a bit longer? We’ve arrived in Maeloria. We’ll be home soon,” Debra said.

Rebecca shook her head, sitting up. Her gaze fell on the two babies beside her, and she couldn’t resist reaching

out.

The nanny quickly and carefully handed her Lily.

“Both children have already been fed, so you don’t need to worry,” Debra said.

Rebecca looked at her mom, nodding with a smile. “Okay.”

She turned back to the baby, marveling at its softness and cuteness, even asleep.

A few minutes later, Lily seemed to wake up. The little one’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly before she slowly

opened her eyes.

“Hey there…” Rebecca chuckled, trying to amuse the baby.

Lily seemed to hear her voice, paused for a moment, and then smiled.

Lily stretched out her short, soft hand, trying to grab her mom’s smiling face.

Seeing this, Charlie quickly came over to look at Lily. Lily seemed…quite cute,

too!

He turned and looked at Kev held by the nanny. He reached out carefully and took Kev from the nanny’s arms.

Rebecca also leaned in to look at Key.

Kev opened his eyes and just stared at Rebecca, neither crying nor fussing.

But the calm only lasted a moment. A minute later, Kev finally realized. It was his mom!

“Mama…” Kev called out in his sweet baby’s voice, reaching out his little hands and struggling to get to his mom.

Rebecca handed Lily to the nanny and then took Kev into her arms.

But Lily wasn’t having it. Compared to the nanny, she definitely preferred her mom. Seeing she was getting away from her mom’s arms, Lilian got upset, reaching out her little hands for a hug.

However, the kid couldn’t compete with the adults. Watching her mom “abandon” her to hold another baby, Lilian was desperate. She pouted and quickly burst into tear

Rebecca panicked, holding Kev while quickly checking on Lily.

Lily wailed, missing her mommy. She felt utterly betrayed as her mom went to cuddle other babies!

She reached out her small hands, insisting on being held by her mommy even as she cried.

Rebecca hurriedly handed Kev to the nearby mother and reached out to hold Lily.

Thankfully, Kev was well–behaved. Even though his mother “abandoned” him, he only paused for a moment. before furrowing his small brows and reaching out to his mommy with anxious gurgles, not crying.

Holding her grandson, Debra saw how much he wanted his mommy, so she brought Kev closer to Rebecca.

As they got closer, Kev calmed down, his tiny hand gripping his mommy’s sleeve, feeling safe.

In Rebecca’s arms, Lily finally got what she wanted, a smile replacing her earlier tears.

The next moment, Lily turned to look at Kev as she noticed the fuss beside her.

Lily saw a little baby clinging to her mommy’s sleeve. On a whim, she turned her head, stretched out her tiny hand, grabbed Kev’s little hand, and yanked…before pushing!

The adults in the car watched the two little ones, surprised by Lily’s assertiveness.

The next moment, Rebecca sighed and tried to pull the domineering little girl away.

Charlie also reached out, carefully trying to pry Lily’s hand off. As adorable as Lily was, bullying her brother wasn’t

okay.

Lily stubbornly held on, clutching her brother’s hand tightly.

In the end, she couldn’t fight against the grown–up, and they were separated

Twenty minutes later, they finally reached home! Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

The car pulled up to the villa, but Rebecca hesitated. Should they go to Theodore’s place or the one her mom had bought next door?

“Why don’t you stay with us? It’s not that comfortable stay in their place,” Debra said.

Rebecca hesitated for a moment before agreeing, “Sure.”

The house Karen had bought was just next to Theodore’s Villa. Deep down, Rebecca felt more comfortable being with her own family, even though…they had only been reunited for over a month.

In that short time, surrounded by her parents‘ love and her brothers‘ support, she felt happier and more content than she had in the past twenty years.

Stepping into Theodore’s house brought back many unpleasant memories.

“I’m going to pack up my stuff,” Rebecca declared, ready to move on..

“We’re with you, sweetie!” Patrick, her father, chimed in enthusiastically. “Your mom and you can handle the packing, while your brother and I do the heavy lifting. We’ll have you out of here in no time!”

Rebecca smiled at her dad and nodded. “Sounds good.”

Debra instructed the nanny to take the babies to their house and joined Rebecca on her way to Theodore’s house.

Initially, she thought there would be a lot to pack, but it only took over an hour to finish.

Theodore’s maid watched, puzzled, as Rebecca stuffed things into suitcases.

Rebecca was also conflicted. Theodore hardly ever stayed at this place. What would happen to the maid if she

moved out?

After deliberating for a while, Rebecca ultimately decided to pay the maid and let her go.

The maid was shocked at first but took the money and left. She was just doing her job, after all, and was happy to

be paid.

Once everything was settled, Rebecca locked the door of Theodore’s villa and headed to her parents‘ house.

“Becky, we fixed up the upstairs room for you a few days ago. Stay as long as you like!” Patrick couldn’t stop beaming at his daughter.

“Okay,” Rebecca replied, excited.

“Let’s go take a look,” Debra said with a smile.

Everything was already moved in, so all they needed to do now was check it out.

Rebecca followed her parents upstairs, with Charlie trailing behind. Upstairs, they found a beautifully decorated,

pink princess room.

It turned out she was also their little princess, and she had her own princess room!
