"Nothing." Wynn looked calm. "I told her that if she goes upstairs to sleep now, I'll come back early tomorrow to play with her after school."
"That's it?" I was confused. Even Hendrix couldn't get a handle over this mischievous girl that Aaron had raised. Was she that easy to deal with?
"That's it." Wynn remained calm and said, "Mommy, if I can persuade Aurelia to go to bed early tomorrow, can I have the microcomputer for another half an hour?"
"Yes..." I was still shocked at how easily Wynn convinced Aurelia with a couple of sentences. Before I knew it, I had nodded and agreed to his request.
"Thank you, mommy." Wynn smiled. "Good night, mommy."
With that, he walked up the stairs without looking back.
The dominant aura he exuded once again reminded me that everyone had their superior.
As I thought of Hendrix and Aaron fighting over Aurelia, I chuckled.
When I turned around, Hendrix had entered the room from the balcony and looked at me with great interest, "Why are you so happy?"
"Nothing." I couldn't tell him that he wasn't as charming as his son, so I changed the subject. He was looking at his mobile phone earlier, so I asked, "Have you dealt with your business affairs?"
"With Evan's help, we don't have much to worry about." Hendrix walked over to the sofa next to me and sat down. Tossing his phone onto the coffee table, he explained, "I found a relatively well-off family. Both husband and wife are unable to have children of their own, so they're glad for the opportunity to adopt a son."
As soon as he got home, he began to make several phone calls. Turns out he had been looking for a family for the child.
The Roberts and Reid families were very affluent. It wouldn't be an issue for them to raise a child. We were both willing to do it purely out of kindness.
The only problem was that we couldn't find any information about that child. His background was a mystery, and with my woman's instinct, I felt that he was likely to put Aurelia and the others in danger.
For the sake of our children, any woman would
think the same.
