Larry was immediately stunned. We're having such a nice time alone right now. Why bring him over? He looked at the woman in front of him, confused.
"Lucius is growing up. I want to let him get a better education." Joan lowered her head and spoke in a soft tone. Right then, Larry understood where she was coming from, so he hesitated.
He was worried that Lucius might not be willing to come even if they agreed to bring him over.
The child had been living with Delilah for a long time now. Hence, it would be hard to separate the two. The other option they had would be to bring Delilah over as well. It was doable, but Larry knew full well that Delilah would most certainly not leave the village.
She lived there for the majority of her life, and the garden needed tending to, so there was no way she would stay in the city.
"You should stop thinking too much about this. Ms. Young and Lucius are never going to come," Larry worded it very bluntly.
In fact, Joan herself knew this as well, but she still wanted to try. It was for the child, after all.
"Coincidentally, the weekend starts tomorrow. Let me go ask them."
With that, Larry decided to let her be while he yawned and headed for bed.
On the other hand, in a psychiatric ward somewhere, Jessica held a child in her arms and was sitting in front of a young lady with Caspian beside him. A heartwarming sight to behold.
"Here, take a look. It's your son." Jessica handed the kid over to the young lady.
"How have you been? Feeling better?" Caspian asked gently.
They were having a great time.
Back at the house, Lucius was throwing a fit. "No! I'm not going! I want to stay with Grandma!"
The roar shocked Joan and gave her the instant realization about the child's wishes, making her give up on the notion.
