Ethan raised his head and saw who was being interviewed on the television.
‘So handsome he is. No, very handsome.’ He seemed to be a little familiar with the man.
“See that person? He is my dad.”
Ethan said and pointed at Brian who was being interviewed in the financial channel. With adoration, he was looking at the calm and elegant man on the TV, who was surrounded by spotlights and journalists.
‘I must be a strong man like him, who can make contributions to the society.’
Luna looked at the TV. When she saw Brian, she almost laughed out.
‘When did her elder brother have an illegitimate child outside? How could she not know as she was his sister?’
‘The kid was telling lies. He must be totally uneducated, especially in morality.’
Ivan was also amused by Ethan. Then he took Luna’s hand and walked forward because they were in a haste.
“It doesn’t matter. He was just a kid. You can ignore him.”
Ethan took a glance at their figure and rolled eyes at them.
At the moment, Tim also walked out of the toilet. He held Ethan’s hand and went back.
Ivan was walking with his hand put on Luna’s shoulder. When he walked around the corner, he found the naughty boy was with an adult. He was just curious about whom the adult was, so he stared at Tim carefully.
In the space of a moment, the man and the kid went to another passage. Ivan only could saw a figure.
Despite this, Ivan frowned.
‘The figure of the man is familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere…’
Ethan, sleepy, fell asleep in Abby’s arms on the way home, while Abby connected all the events today in her mind.
She couldn’t figure out why Tina became like this.
And she was convinced that there must be reasons made Tina turn into such a ‘kind’ person. But on the other hand, she didn’t want to disappoint her father.
It was so hard to make a decision!
When they got back home, Ethan woke up as soon as Abby put him on the bed.
“Sorry for my waking you, baby.” Abby smiled gently.
The bleary eyed kid wrapped his arms around her neck, muttered, “Mommy, do you want to go back home?”
Abby’s heart did a flip. Did she show her little desire?
“How can I?” Abby answered, “I’ll always be with Ethan.”
The little guy had opened his eyes, which were pure like holy spirits, blinking at Abby.
“I know that you are worried that Ethan will be treated bad in that home, so you pretended that you don’t want to go home, right?”
“…”
Abby didn’t know how to respond.
Her kid was so smart, which was also one of her worries.
Seeing Abby stop talking, Ethan smiled, stood up on the bed and hug Abby.
“Mom, we could go back your home.”
“…”
It was a lie that she didn’t want to go back to the place she had lived for so many years. But she couldn’t figure out the real intention of Tina.
Abby was a kind-hearted woman, but it didn’t mean that she could tolerate everything.
But for now, she still hadn’t guessed what Tina wanted. She was afraid that Ethan would be hurt if they really went back.
“Abby, I think my grandfather really wanted us back.”
“Oh, how do you feel it?” Abby asked.
“Because grandpa is very sincere when he hugged me, talked to me, and kissed me. But grandma and aunt were insincere, just like the uncles and aunts on TV.”
Ethan’s words shocked Abby again.
It was so remarkable for such a small kid to see through such complicated things.
“Mom, do you believe I can protect myself?” Ethan said, raising her head with pride.
“Of course I do.” Abby was so proud of her son.
So Ethan patted his chest, said, “So we could go back to live for a few days. I think grandpa will be very sad if we refused to go home. As for grandma and aunt, I can assure you that I could protect myself from them.”
‘That sounds reasonable. Tina won’t do harm to children even if she had schemes.’ Abby also knew that Ethan chose to go back home with her totally because of his grandpa. So did her.
“Ok, we can go back home for a few days.”
“Yeah!”
The driver drove the car to the old mansion of the Jones. When they arrived at the gate, Eva got off the car and walked straight to her room.
Tim also walked from the car, followed by Tina.
“Tim, how did Abby respond? Did she agree to go back?” Tina asked.
Along the way, he has been repeatedly asked such questions. Feeling annoyed, he spoke impatiently, “I’ve said that I have no idea. Abby didn’t mention if she would come back.”
“Why did you yell at me? If you haven’t made such a big trouble, do we have to ask for help now?”
Tina was angry and rebuked her husband.
Tim stopped walking and sighed.
He said with a consultative tone, “Tina, do we really have to do that?”
“What do you mean?” Tina glared at him.
“Abby was a poor girl. If she doesn’t agree, …” Tim faltered.
“So you can figure out some ways to deal with the problems. If you want your property confiscated and get jailed, I’ll never stop you. What’s more, Eva was still a young pretty girl. I can’t push her into the fire pit.”
Tina’s analysis also sounded reasonable. She seemed to want to protect Eva, holding her tightly in her arms.
“But Abby…was also my child.” Tim’s old face crumpled.
“Abby was just a woman who got pregnant without marriage. She also had an illegitimate child. No man will like her. As long as a man takes a fancy to her, she will be married. Having a family, her children will not be illegitimate. Moreover, she won’t have to suffer for the rest of her life. Isn’t it a win-win situation?”
