Chapter 39 - His voice (2/2)

”What happened?” Alexandre asked alarmed.

”Everything is okay. Wait a minute.” She pressed the phone against her chest. ”Adrien do you need something?” The toddler extended his arms, expectant. Lily understood immediately what he wanted. She quickly wiped the traces of his breakfast from his face and then pulled him onto her lap. ”Have you had enough?” She asked worriedly.

”Yes!” Adrien nodded vigorously with his head, his dark hair hopping up and down before he rested his face on her shoulder. ”Wait a minute, I'll talk to Alec quickly. If you want, you can talk to him, too.”

”Can ... Can I say hello?” He asked sheepishly, his cheeks turning red.

”Of course.” Lily handed the toddler the phone. Adrien gripped it with both hands and put it to his ear.

”Hello, Alec.” He mumbled into the phone. Before he fell silent. Lily did not understand what Alexandre said to Adrien. But she could see the clear smile on the little guy's face that even made her smile. Suddenly, this heaviness was gone.

Adrien looked up again. ”Alec wants to tell you something else.”

Lily clamped the phone back under her ear while Adrien played with her fingers.

”It's me again.” She said into the silence.

”Lily!” His voice sounded stunned. ”I can not always promise that I'm doing everything right.” He groaned. ”But I want you to trust me.”

”I can't ...”

”Let me finish, please.” Alexandre interrupted her. ”I will try to tell you the important matters. Do you agree?”

”I want to have a say in plannings which involves me and Adrien!” She heard him moan. ”It's important for me!”

”Will you trust me then?”

”It's a good start.” She grinned.

”You have really strange conditions. As always!” He chuckled, his deep voice making the phone vibrate. ”All right then. I'll try it.”

”You can start right now. What kind of event are we going to this evening?”
