Chapter 284 Asked Us to Pick Up the Child from the Kindergarten


Ebony was at a loss for words.


Was he trying to take advantage of this?


Ebony looked at the kitten in her arms.


Then, she looked at Lloyd who was opposite her.


She snorted and said, "If you don't want me to keep it, just say it. I won't keep it then. I'll ask the crew to return it!"


With that, she passed Lloyd and went over to the sofa to make a phone call.


But after the call got through, Ebony hung up the phone. She looked back at Lloyd hesitantly, and finally said as if giving up, "You can make another request. There should be some room for negotiation, shouldn't there?"


Lloyd sighed.


He walked up to Ebony, raised his hand to stroke her head, and said resignedly, "You can keep it."


Ebony was taken aback for a moment. She looked at him in surprise and asked, "No other request? You agree?!"


Ebony was surprised.


She gazed intently at Lloyd, then suddenly leaned in, gave him a very light peck on the cheek, stepped back and said, "This is fine!"


After that, she jumped up and ran upstairs with the kitten in her arms!


Lloyd sat on the sofa, watching the figure of the girl who was disappearing quickly. After a long while, his eyes were slightly curved, and he chuckled softly.


Meanwhile, in the control room behind the scene.


"Clap clap clap clap!"


The chief director who was adjusting the equipment had lost all intention to the adjustment. He sat in front of the monitor and watched while excitedly patting the arm of the assistant director next to him, making the assistant director's arm red!


The assistant director pushed him away irritably and said in disgust, "Can't you get a hold on yourself?"


The chief director said excitedly, "But it's really sweet!!!"


The assistant director felt like giving him a hit right now!


He scolded, "What's so sweet? It's just a cat? And it's a stray cat. Let me tell you, stray cats have lice! Both of them will be infected with lice tomorrow! The whole house will be full of lice, so what are you being happy about?!"


The chief director stared at the villain-like face of the assistant director and said faintly, "You're so vicious."


The assistant director shouted, "See it tomorrow if you don't believe me!"


The next day, the chief director was afraid that there would really be hygiene issue although he said he did not believe it, so he told the crew once he got up, "Lloyd and Ebony adopted a cat last night. Go and disinfect their house, then take the cat to the pet clinic for a check-up. Also, negotiate with the cat's previous owner to see if we're to buy the cat."


After listening to this, the crew was silent for a while and then said, "Sir, you haven't entered the control room today, have you?"


The chief director was taken aback and said, "Not yet."


The crew member said, "Ebony and Lloyd had brought the cat to the previous owner to negotiate the purchase this morning. They had also disinfected the house, and they had taken the kitten to the veterinary hospital too. Oh, by the way, the kitten didn't have any diseases, but Lloyd suggested to have the kitten neutered since they were already there, so they had the kitten neutered."


The chief director was speechless.


In the living room, Ebony looked at the kitten on the floor who was motionless as if it had lost its soul. She poked its round head with her finger, and muttered, "What's wrong? Are you still angry? Neutering is for your own good. From a medical point of view, you will be healthier, and your behavior will be more stable after neutering."


The kitten did not move and just lay there, with a collar around its neck and staring blankly at the floor.


Lloyd came over with two cups of coffee, and he handed one of them to Ebony.


Ebony took it and said to Lloyd, "It seems like it really understands."


"It's just an animal," said Lloyd, reaching out to her.


Ebony took his hand, stood up from the ground, and then they walked to the sofa and sat down.


Lloyd leaned on the back of the sofa, took a sip of his coffee, looked at the cat food, which was in a puddle on the floor, and smiled lightly, "It has just had a surgery and the anesthesia has just worn off, so it's a little dopey. It'll be alright later when the effect of the anesthesia has worn off."


Ebony looked at Lloyd next to her and frowned, "Why do I feel like you're gloating on its misfortune?"


The man raised his eyebrows and his thin lips slightly, "Am I? I'm not."


Ebony smacked her lips and said, "Give it a name. Its previous owner didn't give it a name and just called it kitty."


Lloyd thought about it and said, "No-Balls?"


Ebony was speechless.


She slapped the back of his hand and said, "This is bad!"


"Just kidding," Lloyd spread his palms, grabbed Ebony's fingers and said, "What do you want to call it?"


Ebony pulled her hand back, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's call it...Rolls Royce."


Lloyd was speechless.


Ebony looked at Lloyd and said, "It sounds good, isn't it? It sounds luxurious."


Lloyd said nothing.


Was this your taste?


Lloyd did not want to say anything.


He stretched out his finger and called, "Rolls Royce."


Would the orange kitten know that its name was Rolls Royce?


It did not pay attention to anyone and just lay there, immersed in its own world.


After a while, a crew member knocked on the door and brought them a new round of task cards.


Lloyd took the task card, opened it and took a look at it. He was immediately taken aback.


Ebony turned to look at Lloyd and asked, "What is it?"


He came over, handed her the task card and said in a low voice, "They asked us to pick up the child from the kindergarten at half past four in the afternoon."


Ebony said nothing.


"Child?" Ebony was startled.


She opened the task card and saw that she was indeed asked to pick up the child from school in the afternoon.


Ebony muttered, "Have I ever given birth?"


Lloyd laughed at this moment. He glanced at Ebony's belly, thought for a moment, and said, "This reminds me that we cannot let you name our children in the future."


Ebony was speechless.


What was wrong with Rolls Royce?!


No, who wanted to have children with you?!


Ebony waited tremblingly until four o'clock in the afternoon and shouted in a hurry for Lloyd to go out to pick up the child.


Just as they went out, they happened to see that Donald and Kara next door were also coming out.


The two families greeted each other, and Donald smiled and said, "I don't even have a girlfriend, but I have a child. What a novel experience."


Ebony smiled and said, "Aren't you married?"


Donald was stunned for a moment, and realizing that she was talking about Kara, he said: "Yes, yes, we are married, and Kara and I both want a daughter. Lloyd, Ebony, do you want a son or a daughter?"


Ebony had not discussed this with Lloyd.


She said, "Maybe a daughter. Daughters seem to be more obedient."


After Ebony finished speaking, she looked at Lloyd and asked, "How about you?"


Lloyd glanced calmly at Ebony, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't want either."


Ebony was shocked.


Lloyd looked at Ebony's dark eyes, chuckled lightly, and said, "I just want you."
