Chapter 648
Chapter 648 The Displaced Puzzle
With such conflicting emotions, I didn't really fall asleep all night
In the state between half asleep and half awake, I would always hear Meteor's murmured whisper in my ear, as if it were a spell that prevented me from quickly shaking it off no matter what
Fortunately, the next day was the weekend, so Meteor didn't have to go to school, and Charlie always took a day off for himself on this day. I fell asleep in a daze in the early hours of the morning, and there was no rush to wake up in the morning, which allowed me to catch up on two extra hours of sleep
But I still didn't rest well, and when I woke up again, my mind was still not very clear
Plus, with the sentence Meteor said last night, I was still absent-minded until I woke up. The maid Rose asked me many times what I wanted for breakfast, and it was only then that I realized and casually told her to prepare whateverText © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
She seemed to have noticed my bad mood and didn't ask any more questions. She left the bedroom and I washed up with a heavy head. It was only then that I realized Charlie and Meteor had already had breakfast and were engaged in today's entertainment activities by the coffee table in the living room
To be honest, after a sleepless night, I didn't have much appetite in the early morning
So I didn't even touch the dessert that Rose
specially prepared for me, I yust simply drank one-third of the milk in the cup and then turned to the sofa and sat down
Rose came over, looked at me with some hesitation, and then glanced at Charlie who was reading beside me. Her face didn't look very good, as 1f she was considering whether or not to persuade me to eat more breakfast again
Just as she was about to speak but hesitated, Charlie put down the book in his hand, raised his head slightly, and gestured for her to leave
This was definitely a relief for Rose. She nodded and placed the plate of dim sum she was holding on the coffee table. Without saying much more, she turned around and walked into the kitchen
Charlie slightly bowed and moved closer to me
"Not eating breakfast is not a good habit, Olive
You will have to take medicine later, and 1f you don't have something in your stomach to cushion it, the medication might make you feel uncomfortable."
"I'm not a child anymore," I retorted quietly, indicating that I understood these things, but if I don't have an appetite, I simply don't have an appetite. I won't force myself to eat ust because I have to take medicine; that sounds strange."

As the words came out, Charlie fell silent for a moment, and I suddenly realized that my tone of speaking to him seemed to have a hint of complaint. So, I lowered my head and decided not to continue with this topic, to pick up a puzzle that Meteor was playing with, using this action to conceal my embarrassment
But my mind was really messy, I picked up the
puzzle piece without thinking carefully, and just placed it roughly in a corner. Afterwards, I realized that no matter how I tried, this puzzle piece couldn't fit with the two adjacent pieces
Perhaps it was due to the lack of sleep that made me a bit sluggish. Until now, I still hadn't realized that I might have picked up the wrong puzzle piece, and I just became increasingly frustrated, wanting to fit that piece in between the other
two
At that moment, a fragile voice whispered in my ear and called out, "Mom."
It was Meteor, and he finally looked up at me, then he rolled his little eyes and told me, "This puzzle shouldn't be in this position, even if you try to force it in, it won't work."
I stood frozen in place, holding the puzzle piece
in my hand. When I looked at Meteor, he always had the appearance of someone completely focused on the puzzle game, which sent shivers down my spine
Because of what he just said, if it were said by an adult, I would definitely conclude without hesitation that he was implying the relationship between me and my family
Unfortunately, Meteor was a five-year-old child, and just as I was about to try and figure out if he said it on purpose or if I was overthinking, he lowered his head
If an adult made such a gesture, I would immediately suspect that they were trying to cover up their guilt
But Meteor..
I was really puzzled
So L, with a hint of hesitation, called Meteor's attention back to me and then asked again, "If this puzzle piece was supposed to be placed here all along, but it was just missing a corner, would you patch it up and fit it in?"
I was so curious about Meteor's answer, even though he didn't show that he understood what I said, I was still waiting for his answer
But in the end, he simply shook his head firmly at me
"No, this puzzle wasn't placed here."
