"I'm going out to see who it is."
Whale quickly calmed down and left the study. Zion also narrowed his eyes. He had a guess.
When he got up and left the study, he heard Esmeralda's familiar voice.
"I'm back."
Her clear voice rang out from outside.
Zion raised his eyebrows slightly. All of a sudden, he felt that God had sent him a communication device.
Wasn't this a ready-made messenger?
When Zion arrived at the living room, Esmeralda had already run in.
"Brother, where is Anne? My father gave her a lot of good things, and they are all in the trunk of my car. You should ask the servants to help you move them down."
Esmeralda was especially happy. She felt that
Zion should also be very happy. After all, if her father liked Anne, it meant that he had admitted her status as the daughter-in-law of the Laurent family. However, Zion was not shocked nor unhappy, and there was no expression on his face.
"Take it back. Anne doesn't care."
Zion's words made Esmeralda's happy mood freeze for a moment.
She looked at Zion and said in a low voice, "Brother, I know that there are still conflicts and hatred between you and father, but you are his son after all. This is what father gave Anne. The other brothers and sisters of the Laurent family all know about it. Father has warned everyone on the surface that Anne is the daughter-in-law of the Laurent family. If you don't accept her, it will be very difficult for father."
"What does his difficulty have to do with me?"
Zion's question left Esmeralda speechless.
Why was he so stubborn?
"I'm looking for Anne."
She felt that it was better to find Anne.
"She's busy.”
Zion sent Esmeralda away with a single sentence.
But she wasn't that easy to be gotten rid of.
She then asked, "What is she busy with?"
While they were talking, Evangeline came down with the girl who had just changed her clothes.
"Klaus, do you think she looks good in this dress?"
When Esmeralda heard Evangeline's voice, she quickly raised her head. When she saw Evangeline walking down the stairs with a little girl in her hand, she couldn't help but be taken aback.
"This child is..."
"Girl, greet your aunt."
Zion opened his mouth as soon as Esmeralda finished speaking.
The girl trusted Zion and Evangeline very much. Hearing Zion's words, she immediately called Esmeralda 'aunty' and hid behind Evangeline.
Esmeralda was stunned.
"No, why do you call me aunt? This is not brother's child."
"Who said she's not my child? She's the daughter of Anne and I."
Hearing Zion's words, Esmeralda and the girl were both stunned.
How did she become the daughter of them?
The little girl couldn't wrap her head around it.
Esmeralda was the same. She quickly asked, "What's going on? Brother, I thought you don't know Anne five years ago?"
