His Knees, His Pleas, But Our Son's in Peace

Chapter 98

As I left the garden, my thoughts turned to Carlos. I had caused him so many problems lately, and now it was my turn to treat him. I decided I would take him out for a nice meal and surprise him with gifts to show my appreciation for his support.

I hurried to the medical organization where Carlos worked, my excitement bubbling over. Just as I arrived, I spotted him coming out of a meeting with the researchers. "Hey, Carlos!" I called out, waving enthusiastically.[]

He looked up, his expression shifting from professional to warm as he approached. "Hey, Doris! What's going on?"]

"I just signed a big contract with one of the companies from Sunshine PACK!" I announced, my voice filled with excitement.

Carlos raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "Really? That's great news! Congratulations!" "Thank you! I want to celebrate. How about dinner?" I asked, hopeful. He hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'd love to, but I can't go out right now. I just have too much on my plate." My heart sank a little, but then he added, "But how about a light lunch instead? I can't resist a good sandwich." "Okay, I can work with that," I said, trying to hide my disappointment. "Let me make something for you."

I quickly headed to the kindergarten kitchen and started preparing a salad and sandwiches. As I chopped the vegetables, my mind raced with thoughts about the contract and Carlos's support. I wanted him to know how much I appreciated him.[

Once I had everything ready, I made my way back to Carlos's office, carrying the food with a sense of pride. When I walked in, I found Carlos sitting at his desk, looking over some documents. His office was filled with books and research papers, a true reflection of his dedication.]

"Lunch is served!" I declared, placing the food on his desk.

"Wow, this looks amazing!" he said, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the fresh salad and sandwiches.
