My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 273 Cathy's Trust

Richard was touched to see his assistant helping him so much. At the crucial moment, he would really see who really cared about him.

"Then I will give you two more days off to be with your wife. She is the most important person in your life. Stay by her side until the baby is born." Richard felt guilty because he didn't do anything to help Amy when she gave birth to Allen.

The manager of the production department looked at Richard. Although he did not understand what he meant, he felt Mr. Carter's expression was very solemn. So, he decided to follow what Mr. Carter said. His wife was hard actually. When he worked overtime, it was she who took care of his parents and handled the family affairs.

He had taken it for granted that a wife should do this for her husband, but hearing Mr. Carter's words, he felt he was wrong. His wife was also the lovely daughter of his parents-in-law, and lived a good life before marrying him. Why should she suffer so much after marrying him? He felt he was a jerk.

"Well, Mr. Carter, I will stay with my wife for a few days, and I will take good care of her," The manager of the production department nodded. He used to be addicted to his work, but from now on, he would spend some time with his wife.

When the goods were delivered, the crisis of the HD Group had been lifted. Richard decided to invite Mr. Philip to have dinner to show his gratitude.

"Mom?" Amy looked at Cathy who came in. Cathy wasn't looking well. Her husband's death dealt her a great blow.

"Amy...," Cathy muttered as she walked over to Amy and sat down.

Looking at Cathy's sullen expression, she thought that Cathy was here to make trouble and she was ready to deal with it.

Cathy sat down, but she didn't say anything and just rubbed her temples. She had a hard time these days. She didn't want to go back to the Carter's mansion, nor did she want to go to Richard's. She had been living in her teahouse, to remember Halbert. She couldn't accept the fact that her husband would pass away so sudden.

She had something to ask for Amy, but she didn't know how to raise the topic.

Amy went into her break room and took out scented tea. She made a cup of tea for Cathy.

"Have tea, Mom." Since Cathy came, Amy stopped her work. The relationship between her mother-in-law and her was good, and she cherished their relationship very much. "Thank you." Cathy took the tea, smelled it, and then took a sip. The tea was strong, and she wondered if the relationship between her and Amy was still so strong.

"Mom, do you come to me for something?" asked Amy directly as she saw that Cathy wanted to say but kept silent.

"I do, but I'm afraid you won't agree." Cathy looked at Amy with a pathetic look.

"Mom, you haven't said it. How do you know I won't agree? Just tell me," Amy smiled at Cathy.

Cathy looked at Amy, whose smile was infectious, as if to encourage her.

"Amy, I want to take Allen away with me for a few days. I have been in a state of depression and I want to die. I ..." Cathy wanted to talk about her recent troubles and see if Amy would let her take Allen away. "Yes, you can take him with you as long as you want. He's your grandson." As soon as Amy heard about this, she agreed.

"Amy, you just said yes? You agreed?" Cathy thought she would have had to say a lot to convince Amy to let her take Allen away.

"Yes, Mom. I've been busy these days, otherwise I would have sent Allen to you." Amy was telling true. In the Carter family, the one she was worried about most was Cathy. Richard's distrust of her and Hilary's indifference to her after coming back disappointed Amy.

But Cathy had always treated her as her own daughter, and even better. Amy cared a lot about Cathy's opinion of herself.

"But, Mom, haven't you doubted me ever?" Amy asked Cathy.

"Why should I doubt you? I know you well. That year, you...," When Cathy said this, she suddenly remembered her son's admonition. She couldn't tell Amy anything about the past, so she shut up immediately. It was enough. Cathy's trust was most important to her. It was Cathy's husband who died. And if Cathy trusted her that she didn't kill her father-in-law, then Amy would feel relieved.

"Thank you, Mom," Amy said to Cathy.

Cathy smiled, though her smile was no better than crying now. No matter what people around her said, Cathy's trust in Amy had never changed.

"Allen, will you go with grandma today?" said Amy to Allen as she got to the kindergarten to pick him up.

Allen looked at Cathy and smiled sweetly.

"Yes!" Allen said softly.

Cathy's nose was sore all of a sudden. Her husband left, her son was busy, and her daughter didn't accompany her. Fortunately, she had a daughter-in-law and a grandson staying with her. "Allen, look what grandma brought you." Cathy handed Allen the cake she had made.

"Wow, grandma, you are so nice to me." Allen looked up at Cathy and saw that her nose was red and there were tears in her eyes.

"Grandma, what's the matter?" Allen asked with concern.

"Nothing, nothing. I got a grain of sand in my eyes as I was waiting for you," Cathy explained hastily.

"Grandma, squat down." Allen waved his little round hand and asked Cathy to squat down.

"Grandma, I help you get the sand out." Allen took Cathy's face in his hands and blew into her eyes.

As soon as Allen did so, Cathy's tears flowed out at once.

"Oh, how did Grandma cry even harder?" thought Allen and he was a bit at a loss.

"Nothing, the sand will come out with the tears," Amy explained immediately as she saw that her son was at a loss.
