Surprised Wife With Twins
Chapter 442 Thumping Heart

His words sent Aubree into a trance for a moment.

“Grandma, I used to dream about you." Alfie suddenly jumped to hisfeet, his eyes lighting up. He was excited, as if he was telling a fairytale. “I dreamed of you when I was five.”

“What did I look like in your dream?” Aubree asked curiously.

“You looked exactly the same as you do now. You were patient with usand liked us a lot. You also told us bedtime stories.”

Alfie had exquisite features, just like Ivan in his childhood. Looking athim, Aubree felt warm and sweet.

“I also dreamed of you, Grandma.” Diana looked adorable with a creamstain on the tip of her nose. She added seriously, “I dreamed of sittingon your lap. We looked at the moon while you were telling me stories.”The children’s words made tears well up in Aubree’s eyes. For somereason, she felt sorry for her grandchildren.

“Grandma, you've got cream there,” Diana reminded her, wiping it offwith a paper napkin.

It sent warmth through Aubree’s veins. Suddenly, she felt upset. “Thankyou, Diana.”

"You are welcome.”

Her voice and movements made Aubree feel much better.

Aubree had been expecting love and care all her life.

Her husband cheated on her, so she didn't trust anyone. The cold andhard shield of her heart had been cracked by the children.

Dusk came.

Although she had excellently accomplished all her tasks, Linda decidedto work overtime.

She always remembered Catherine's suggestions, working hard tobecome excellent while keeping lowkey and modest.

Linda wished her crush could see it so she could leave a goodimpression on him.

Finnley lived alone, so he had dinner in the canteen and decided towork overtime as well.

He was a workaholic.

“Mr. Russell, these are the documents for the meeting on the day aftertomorrow. All sorted.”

The president's office was lit brightly. Finnley raised his head afterhearing the voice. He was reading a financial report, and Linda enteredto pass him the file folders.

He was taken aback. “You are still here?"

Their gazes met in mid-air. Linda beamed at him. “Yeah. Workingovertime.” Her heart was thumping.

Finnley asked, “Will you take a day off tomorrow?”

Linda was startled, wondering what he meant.

Finnley took the folders over. While opening one, he added, “I thoughtyou were about to take a day off tomorrow, so you finished the workearlier than planned.”

“No, no,” Linda replied with a smile. “I won't take a day off. 'm in agood state to work today, so I work overtime. Anyway, I have nothing todo after returning home.”

A rare smile touched Finnley’s lips. Usually, he kept looking stern atwork.

The smile made Linda overjoyed.

“Mr. Russell...” she plucked her courage up to ask him curiously, “Whatare you laughing about?”

“Our thoughts are alike.” Finnley opened the desk drawer and put thefolders in. He continued in a relaxed tone, “I have nothing to do afterreturning home, so I work overtime.”

By accident, Linda saw some cartoons on the paper in the drawer,which were sketched with a pen. The drawn comic characters coveredthe whole piece of paper.

“Anything else, Linda?" Finnley asked after closing the drawer.

Linda hurriedly looked at him and answered, “Nothing else.” Aftersmiling at him, she turned away calmly. However, her heart hammered.“Does Mr. Russell like cartoons?”

Linda wondered if it was her significant gain this evening.
