He also knew that she was angry with him for choosing to leave that way back then.
He knew she still loved him, otherwise, she would not have been that passionate and reckless last night without asking for anything.
He let out a helpless sigh. He was going to go to her and would not let her think any more nonsense. He was going to make it up to her, to reassure her, to make her feel secure, and to let her know that he would never leave her again.
At the Perry family.
Iris woke up early. She played late last night, but she just had more energy than the average child. She got up early in the morning and ran to the guest room next door in her pink nightgown. Hugo was up too and was playing games.
Seeing him there, Iris immediately jumped on his bed. “Hugo, I want to play the same game as yesterday, but I’m so hungry. Let’s go eat together. After we eat, let’s play together, okay?”
“Why are you up and hungry?”
“Well, aren’t you hungry?” Iris was puzzled.
“But it’s not time to eat yet!”
“But I’m already hungry! I have to go pee!” Instead of going to her room, Iris went into the bathroom in Hugo’s room.
“You go to your room!” Seeing that she didn’t close the door either, Hugo reminded her.
“No! It’s too late!” Iris said as she removed her pink panties.
Hugo immediately turned his head and continued playing the game. His mommy said it was not allowed to watch girls pee. He knew that in kindergarten.
But just a minute later, Iris suddenly wailed. “Whooo …”
“What’s wrong?” Hugo was so scared that he immediately jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.
“I peed on my dress!”
“Ah…”
Iris stood aside and covered her eyes with her little hands. Her panties had come off and the back of her dress was really wet.
“Ugh! Don’t cry. I’ll go get Mrs. Tyson to come and change your clothes, okay?”
“No! It’s humiliating! Don’t let them know!”
“What should we do then?”
“You help me change my clothes and you wash them for me!” Iris had taken her hands off and pouted while there wasn’t a tear in her eye, “I want you to help me wash!”
She didn’t want the adults to know that she wet her pants again. Her mommy would laugh at her. If Mrs. Tyson knew, Great Grandpa would know too. If Great Grandpa knew, then Daddy would know too. She had just met her daddy, so she didn’t want to be laughed at by him. Anyway, Hugo was a child like her. That was their secret. She must let him help her change her clothes and not allow him to tell anyone else.
“But I’m a boy and you’re a girl!” Hugo explained patiently.
“No, I don’t care. You help me change!” Once she heard that he didn’t agree, Iris really wanted to cry. “Wha-”
In an instant, tears actually came to her eyes. “I’ve had a hard time finding Daddy. I don’t want him to know that I will still pee my pants. Daddy will hate me, whoops …”
Just as she cried, Hugo’s heart softened, “Okay, I’ll help you. But don’t tell anyone!”
He always remembered what his mommy said, “Don’t look at girls bathing, and don’t look at girls peeing …”
“Really? Then you don’t tell anyone. It’s our secret!” With that, Iris was about to walk out, but her panties were not on, so she was about to trip and fall. Hugo was quick enough to reach out his hand. But Iris walked too fast that she directly pounced on him. As a result, both of them fell to the ground at the same time.
“Ugh! It doesn’t hurt!” Iris said excitedly. It used to hurt when she fell.
Hugo just wanted to roll his eyes. He was cushioning under her. Could she be in pain?
“Get up quickly and go to your room to find clothes first. Didn’t Mr. Perry have someone send clothes last night? Let’s go quickly!”
Probably because they didn’t expect the two kids to get up so early, the maids were all downstairs. Tim got up early in the morning to go for a walk and was not at the villa.
“I’m done washing!” Iris stood up from the small bath that Mrs. Tyson had prepared for her last night.
Hugo was a gentleman at a young age. He didn’t look at her, just handed over the bath towel and whispered, “Wipe off the water, then come out and change!”
“Okay!”
“The clothes are on the bed!”
“Okay!”
After wiping herself clean, Iris ran out naked. She climbed onto the bed and began to change, not forgetting to instruct. “You help me wash the clothes. Don’t tell anyone that I peed on it!”
“I know! And don’t tell anyone that I helped you take a bath!” Hugo also did not forget to instruct her.
“Okay!” In a short time, Iris changed into a cute white dress.
Last night, Tim had someone bring in lots of cute dresses, but Iris wasn’t interested at all. She was only interested in the food.
By the time Hugo was done washing her clothes and secretly hung them up to dry, Tim was back.
As soon as she saw her great-grandpa, Iris jumped on him, hugged his legs, and shouted, “Great-grandpa, I’m hungry! I want to eat sushi, pizza, spaghetti, crab, and beef noodles …”
“Ah, okay, good girl, I’ll have someone make it right away!” Tim really liked his great-granddaughter. The more he looked at her, the cuter he found her, and the more he wanted to spoil her.
And Jack, who was standing aside in a neat little suit, could not stand to look at Iris, who had been eating all night and was still clamoring for food. Her face was warmly colored, her skin was crystal clear, her black eyelashes were long, and her eyes were big and bright.
When he looked at her, Hugo couldn’t help but blush and think about the secret. He couldn’t let mommy know!
Noticing that Hugo was looking at her, she immediately showed a cute and sweet smile to him and asked with confusion, “Hugo, why are you not even hungry? Aren’t you hungry yet?”
“Good girl, how about eating noodles first?” Iris was so small. Tim was afraid that she would eat too much and that she wouldn’t have enough to eat. She ate more food yesterday than any of the adults, and when she was done, she was jumping and dancing and never sitting still for a while. She digested quickly, so no wonder she was always crying out for food.
“Okay!” As soon as she heard there was food, Iris immediately smiled.
“Then I’ll go cook noodles for you. Hugo, take your sister!”
Tim went downstairs, yet Hugo was very silent.
Iris pouted, looked up at him, and asked, “Don’t you want to play with me anymore?”
Hugo was stunned. He didn’t expect Iris to ask that.
Iris showed a sweet smile and actually walked over. Hugo couldn’t help but purse up his lips and shake his head. “No!”
“Then why won’t you even talk to me?” Iris pouted, looking a little aggrieved.
“Why do you always want to eat?”
“Hungry! I’m hungry!” Iris shouted. “Why aren’t you even hungry?”
“So you’re not afraid of getting fat?”
“Mommy says it’s cute when I’m fat. If you’re fat when you’re little, you’ll grow up to be a beauty. If you’re skinny when you’re little, you’ll look ugly. I don’t want to be a clown, and I want to be beautiful. I’m an angel!”
“Angels have wings. But you don’t have wings!”
Iris blinked and thought about it for a moment. Her eyes rolled around again and she smiled even more sweetly. Suddenly, she pursed her lips and stepped forward. Hugo watched dumbfounded as she leaned forward. Then at the moment when Hugo didn’t have time to react, Iris actually held Hugo’s face and came closer. She pressed her little red mouth against Hugo’s.
The soft lips, with the taste of lollipops, were lemony. Hugo was so shocked that he pushed her away.
Iris was as happy as if she had eaten honey. Looking at Hugo’s shy and annoyed look, Iris showed a bright, innocent, and graceful smile. “It’s okay. I won’t be an angel, but I can be a prince and kiss the princess awake. Hugo, you will be my princess from now on, okay? Oscar has promised to be my princess, but I haven’t even kissed him. Your little mouth is delicious, and it tastes like strawberries. Hehe, do you use strawberry toothpaste? I want to use it too!”
Hugo was stunned and completely speechless, losing his usual eloquence and intelligence.
She had actually kissed him.
His first kiss!
How could she be so horny at such a young age?
Whoops …
“I’m a boy!” Hugo suddenly got serious, and instead of smiling, he looked blushed and angry after being embarrassed. “You can’t just kiss someone again!”
Iris, however, ignored him completely and just bounced and clapped her hands. “We have a deal. When you fall asleep, I will definitely go kiss you! Don’t worry, I’ll only kiss you, and no one else. I didn’t even kiss Oscar. He is very cute and has blue eyes!”
She said she only kissed him!
Hugo blinked and was silent again. After a long time, he frowned and asked, “Who’s Oscar?”
“Oscar is Oscar. He is as tall as you are and as big as you are!”
“I’m not a princess!” He frowned, looking serious.
“But Oscar promised me he would be my princess and make me a prince. Why don’t you just say yes?” Iris asked with puzzlement.
“Because I want to be a prince. You’re a girl, and you can only be a princess!” Hugo pursed his lips and took another look at her small mouth. It was red and tender and had the taste of lemon. He would have a lemon-flavored lollipop too later.
“So will you come to kiss me when I fall asleep?” Iris’s slender eyebrows raised as she tugged at his little suit. “Would you? Would you?”
Hugo was silent, trying to think of something.
“Humph! You’re going to marry me. My mommy said no boys are allowed to see my butt. You’ve seen it, so you’re going to marry me!” Iris suddenly frowned and said seriously. “If you don’t marry me, I’ll tell my mommy. My mommy is very powerful. She will definitely strangle you to death! You see, my ears are twisted so big by my mommy. Do you want to have your ears twisted by my mommy?”
Hugo was dumbfounded and said seriously, “Yes! I’ll marry you!”
“Really?” Iris seemed longing for it.
“When you grow up, I’ll marry you!”
“Will that be long?”
“A long, long time from now!” Hugo assured her as if he had made up his mind. This was his promise, and he would keep it.
“Okay! Then I’ll be waiting for you!” Iris laughed and clapped her hands. “Great, I knew you’d be afraid as long as I mentioned my mommy. That’s real!”
“…” Hugo was speechless. He wasn’t afraid of her mother, but what made him make his promise so easily?
*********
Elijah searched for a long time without finding Esther.
He didn’t use the men of LN Group and just tried to find her himself.
He knew she had to be in the place they had spent time together.
She was not in the apartment, nor in the villa, so could she be in the J Park?
He drove there.
The more he got to the mountains of J City, the more excited he became. He drove the car deeper into the dense forest, and suddenly found a red sports car just parked there.
Could it be her?
He got out of the car and walked over carefully.
