"What are you thinking about, Sydney?" Hunter put his hand in front of her and waved when he saw her suddenly space out.
Sydney's eyes flickered, and she said indifferently, "Nothing."
"Then, about Davey..."
Sydney bit her lip and seemed to be considering.
When Hunter saw this, he secretly shot a look at Davey which said, 'Kid, hurry up and do something. It'll depend on you whether you can stay here or not. I've already tried my best.'
Davey rolled his eyes and replied with his eyes, 'Stupid uncle. You were the one who brought me here. You said that Aunty was ignoring you because you two fought, so you want me to act as a peacemaker and let her forgive you. How can you dump everything on me now? I'm just a baby.'
Hunter's lips twitched 'Cut the crap and do something. Do you still want her to be your Aunty? If you do, then hurry up and act cute. Make her take you in. That way, you can help put in a few good words for me.'
Davey had no choice. He sighed like a small adult and put on a quiet expression, pulling on Sydney's sleeve. He looked at her pitifully. "Aunty, take me in. I don’t want to be alone at home. Please, Aunty?"
He blinked his wide eyes twice, looking like he was about to cry.
"Please, Sydney." Hunter hurriedly echoed.
Sydney looked at him and then at the teary-eyed Davey. Finally, her heart softened, and she reached out to wipe away Davey's tears, nodding. "Okay. I'll help you take care of Davey for the next two days."
"Great! I can finally stay with Aunty." Davey smiled happily.
"Thank you, Sydney." Hunter bowed at her with a grateful look, but in reality, his heart was incredibly excited.
'Good job, kid! Sure enough, you're the most adorable kid in the Cohen family!
'You won over Sydney immediately.'
Hunter put Davey down and crouched down to instruct him, "Davey, be good and listen to Aunty's words. Don’t be naughty, okay?" 'Kid, remember your task and improve your uncle and aunty's relationship.
'This is the real purpose I brought you here.'
Davey nodded obediently. "I know, Uncle Hunter. I won't be naughty."
'Don't worry, Uncle Hunter. I'll make Aunty forgive you. Don't forget my Transformers collection.'
"Good boy. I'm relieved." Hunter patted his head.
I won't forget. Stop reminding me.'
Hunter stood up and looked at Sydney. "I'll leave Davey to you. "
Sydney was not aware of the telepathic conversation the uncle and nephew exchanged earlier. She just nodded with a hum. "Okay." "I'll leave now," Hunter said again.
"Bye," Sydney responded.
Hunter smiled bitterly.
'She wants me to leave. She didn't even tell me to stop for some tea.'
However, that was not the worst of it.
The worst thing was that Davey was waving at him too. "Bye, Uncle Hunter!"
Hunter's lips twitched as he secretly glared at the boy.
'Brat, you're so useless. Your Aunty isn't inviting me to have some tea, but you can pretend to cry and say you don't want me to leave yet.
'Maybe I'll be able to stay a little longer that way.'
Davey, who saw through Hunter's thoughts, merely pulled a face. Hunter's expression twisted in anger.
'This little brat! I shouldn't have spoiled you!’
He sighed and turned around to walk toward the elevator.
After his figure disappeared into the elevator, Sydney pulled Davey into the house.
The next day, she was woken up by a phone call.
It was from Luke. "Darling, look online.
Brandon is holding a press conference."
"Press conference?" Sydney sat up from the bed. "What kind of conference?"
"I don't know, but it should be related to Lyra. After all, there was a huge hoo-ha when she was arrested again yesterday, and it caused a serious impact on Trison Corporation. There's no way he can stay low," Luke said.
