At this time, the driver might already be sleeping, so Mitchell contacted a substitute driver.
Eric nodded and walked out without hesitation.
The smell of blood in the car made him a little sick to his stomach. He did not expect a light bump to cause so much blood loss and a broken rib.
It was his fault, so he had to admit it.
It took fifteen minutes for the substitute driver to arrive.
Eric did not think about anything else. He did not open his mouth until he got home.
The substitute driver did not dare to say anything. After all, he never expected to drive this luxury car, so he had to be extra careful since he was driving such an expensive car for the first time.
When he arrived at the villa, there was a light in the living room.
Eric walked in with an indifferent expression. He took a deep look at Chance, who had not slept yet, with a warning silence.
Chance pursed his lips, walked over, and carefully raised his eyes.
“Daddy, have you seen Levi and Aunt Nicole? Levi said that it’s his younger brother’s 100th day of birth today, so I want to prepare a gift for his younger brother. Is that okay?”
There was a bit of anticipation on his fair and tender face.
Chance looked like he was afraid of being scolded, but he still wanted to express his thoughts.
He finally did not have to live with the nanny in the old apartment and could live with Eric.
Although Eric spent most of his time on business trips and was not at home often, Chance was still happy that Eric could come back to meet him once in a while.
Chance only had one good friend — Levi. Levi also liked his younger brother very much, so Chance wanted to prepare a gift for Levi’s younger brother.
He talked for a long time, but Eric remained silent, and his eyes were cold.
Chance lowered his head in disappointment and pursed his lips. He had some allowance, but the figurine he liked was too expensive, and he still lacked some money.
However, it seemed that Chance had to save up more.
Finally, Eric loosened his collar and said nonchalantly, “Sure. I have a gift in my car. You can take it to him.”
After he finished speaking, Eric went straight upstairs.
Chance was surprised and confused. The servant next to Chance heard this and hurriedly went to take out the gift.
The servant saw the brand of the gift and held it carefully.
“Young Master, here. Now you don’t have to prepare a gift yourself.”
Chance looked at this exquisite jewelry box, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
Was this jewelry box suitable for little Kenji?
Was it really for him?
Chance fell silent.
......
Stanton Mansion.
It was nearly midnight after the banquet.
Aida graciously followed Grant to see off the guests. Clayton and Nicole also stayed back until the last moment.
Kai and Julie had long since disappeared.
Kai was tired and sleepy, so he took Julie home for his beauty sleep halfway through the party.
Floyd turned around and did not see Kai. Then, he angrily scolded Kai for being an idiot who only knew how to sleep.
However, Floyd was glad to see that the rest stayed back.
“Alright. You guys should go back and rest. If you don’t want to go back, you can just make do for the night in the hotel.”
Clayton smiled and said, “Dad, let me take you back. It’s more comfortable to sleep at home.”
Older people who had poor health were more accustomed to their own beds.
Floyd did not want to bother others to send him off, but when he heard Clayton’s, he immediately felt grateful.
He patted Clayton’s shoulder in satisfaction and said with a smile, “You’ve had a long day, so you should go back with Nicole. The children are all asleep now. Don’t let them worry if they can’t see you when they wake up.”
Clayton hesitated for a moment and smiled.
“It’s okay. I’ll send you back before we go home. At this time, Chatty and Fischer won’t wake up.”
Just as he was talking, the driver came over.
Clayton went to open the door. “Dad, come on.”
Floyd sighed. “He’s the best son-in-law!”
As he said that, he strode into the car with high spirits.
Grant and Aida stood there with a smile and watched them leave.
Nicole was sleepy, so she did not have the energy to think about anything else. Seeing Floyd get into the car, she also followed suit without saying a word.
