Chapter 2037 Go With Me
“Mom, what are you trying to say?” “I think it’s better if we let Wilbur stay at home. With us monitoring him, there won’t be any trouble. We can know how he’s doing at any moment. In the case that his condition improves, it’ll be better for us to make a move.”
Nicholas thought Mabel was right. A glint flashed across his eyes as he said, “Mom, I’ll go up and take a look.” Smiling meaningfully, she replied, “Sure.” She knew her son definitely had a way to stop Maya from bringing Wilbur away.
Meanwhile, Maya was still patiently trying to persuade Wilbur to leave with her in his room. He kept insisting that he did not want to leave his house.
Yet, she continued coaxing him, “Wilbur, do you know how fun my house is? We have everything that you will like. There are a lot of people who can play with you and take care of you. I can cook all sorts of delicious food for you too! I’ll cook whatever you like to eat. I promise that you’ll fall in love with my house.”
Wilbur scrutinized Maya with a doubtful look in his eyes. However, after thinking about it, he shook his head.
“I don’t want to go. I don’t like to eat anything either. My house has everything that I want to eat, so there’s no need to go to your house.”
“Then, what do you like?”
“I like… I like it when you stay away from me.”
When Maya saw how determined he was, she grabbed his hand and gazed at him sincerely. “Wilbur, if you go to Imperial Garden with me, I can promise you one thing, no matter what it is. Okay?”
A grim look flashed across Wilbur’s eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he pulled his hand away and shook his head resolutely.
“No, I don’t want to go!”
“Wilbur, what must I say to convince you to leave with me?” Maya felt frustrated.
At that moment, Nicholas suddenly walked in. He looked at Wilbur’s stubborn expression, then at Maya’s troubled look.
“Is my brother unwilling to leave with you?”
“Yeah, he doesn’t want to go with me no matter what I say. Do you have any idea on how to convince him?”
Nicholas walked toward Wilbur and smirked. “Wilbur, do you really not want to go to her house?”
“Yeah, I don’t.”
“It’s good that you don’t want to go. If you go there like this, you’ll just bring more trouble to them.”
“How can you say that, Nicholas? I want you to help convince Wilbur to go to Imperial Garden with me. Why are you…”
“Didn’t you try persuading him just now? It didn’t work. Wilbur has a very stubborn personality. If he doesn’t want to go, just let him stay here. We can ask the two doctors to stay at our house too, so it’s more convenient for them to treat Wilbur. There’s no need to force him against his will to go with you, right?”
With that, Nicholas glanced at his brother. “Wilbur, why don’t you stay at home and let the doctors treat you here?”
“I’m not sick! I don’t need any treatment!”
“Yeah, you aren’t sick. You don’t need to go anywhere. Just stay at home, okay?”
Wilbur nodded and grabbed Nicholas’ arm firmly.
Maya stared at Nicholas exasperatedly, knowing he was deliberately causing trouble. He did not want Wilbur to go to Imperial Garden and recover.
The more he acted like that, the more Maya wanted to take Wilbur away.
“Wilbur, if you refuse to leave with me, I have no choice but to tell your dad to tie you up and send you to Imperial Garden.”
Wilbur was repulsed when he heard that. He pointed at Maya furiously and called her names.
“Maya, how can you treat Wilbur like that? Look at how badly you scared him. Judging from your current attitude, I don’t know how you’ll treat him after he follows you to Imperial Garden. For his sake, I think it’s better for him to stay in the Simpson family.”
Ignoring Nicholas, Maya went down to look for Rodney.
