The car drove into the villa, and Charlesâs hand clutching the red envelopes suddenly tightened.
He looked up at Kevin Clark and whispered, âAre you really not going to hit
Kevin Clark looked down at his nervous and scared expression, laughing and said, âHmm, I wonât hit you.â
The car stopped, Charles got out, and when he followed Kevin Clark to the entrance of the living room, he looked up at him again and said, âAre you scared?â
âYes, I am.â
âBut youâre not afraid of your grandmother being angry.â Charles said.
âBut Iâm afraid of the little girl being angry.â Kevin Clark looked at him.
âWhat can we do?âCharles asked worriedly, âWill it involve me?â
Kevin Clark snorted in his heart; this kid was only worried about himself being involved, âNot necessarily.â
Charles:
âWill you protect me then?â Charles asked again.
âThat depends on my mood.â Kevin Clark perfunctorily said.
Charlesâs eyes were almost round, and just as he was about to speak, Daisyâs cold voice came from inside the living room: âAre you two reciting some incantation before entering?â
Charles was startled, dropping a red envelope on the ground.
After picking up the red envelope, Kevin Clark led him into the living room. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Daisy was wearing gray home clothes instead of the clothes they wore when they left in the morning. Her hair was loose and seemed to have been washed not long ago.
It seemed that she had just come down from the upper floor and was standing next to the sofa, looking at the entrance of the living room.
As soon as Kevin Clark and Charles entered the living room, she saw the two thick red envelopes in Charlesâs hand.
She squinted slightly and whispered, âWho gave them?â
Charles leaned towards Kevin Clarkâs leg, suddenly at a loss for words.
Daisy glanced at Kevin Clark again, speaking with the same tone and voice as usual, âSpeak.â
But little Charles was still frightened, his little heart trembling, âItâs from Beautiful Grandma and Aunt.
Daisyâs gaze lingered on his face for two seconds before looking at Kevin Clark.
Kevin Clarkâs eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he smiled, âMy mother and my sister-in-law.â
After saying that, he walked forward with Charles, but little Charles pulled his hand and exerted force in the opposite direction. So Kevin Clark dragged Charles to Daisyâs side.
Daisy thought for a moment and almost understood, âYou took him to your home?â
âYes.â Kevin Clark looked at her, âMy mother was angry with me, so I brought her a grandson as a shield.â
Daisy was silent for a while, then lowered her head to look at Charles, âYou go back to your room first, or find Grandpa Edwards.â
Following her instructions, Charles let go of Kevin Clarkâs hand and ran toward Uncle Edwardsâ room.
He disappeared from the living room in a puff of smoke.
Kevin Clark watched the little white-eyed boy and gritted his teeth.
âYou were hoping heâd plead for you?â Daisy sat down on the sofa, âHe canât even protect himself.â
âWhat should I do then? How can I survive unharmed?â Kevin Clark walked to her side.
âTurn back time.â Daisy looked up at him, her beautiful phoenix eyes cold and indifferent.
âThatâs a bit difficult.â Kevin Clark thought for a moment, leaned down to face her, âI think seduction is simpler.â
Daisy looked at his delicate eyes:ââ¦â¦â
Kevin Clark looked at her, seeing that she didnât want to hit him, and laughed. He leaned closer and kissed her lips.
Daisy moved back a little.
Kevin Clark raised his hand to touch the back of her head, preventing her from backing away, and whispered gently, âMy parents really like Charles.â
Daisy looked closely at his eyes, at the warmth in his eyes for her, and at the tenderness that belonged only to her.
Kevin Clark kissed her again, âI didnât tell them about Charlesâs background.â
Daisyâs eyelashes trembled slightly.
Kevin Clark looked at her long eyelashes and kissed her again.
Each time, with appeasement and comfort.
âMy parents will treat him like a real grandson.â Kevin Clark said softly, âI will also treat him as a real son.â
Daisy slowly lowered her gaze, using her eyelashes to hide her emotions.
Every word Kevin Clark said struck her heart.
With every hit, a crack appeared in the thick layer of ice around her heart. The blood became vibrant, and the heartbeat became passionate.
Seeing that her eyes were downcast, Kevin Clark pressed closer and kissed her again, âDonât worry, my little girl must be the best in the world. My parents still trust my vision.â
Daisyâs eyelashes trembled again, and she twisted her fingertips. She lifted her hand and placed it on Kevin Clarkâs shoulder, pushing him back a little. Then, with her gaze downcast, she moved aside and said, âHmm, you have good taste.â
Kevin Clark saw that she was hiding her emotions and didnât expose her. Instead, he sat next to her and said, âHow can it be described simply as âgoodâ?
You are fantastic.â
Daisyâs emotions quickly subsided, and she glanced at him and said, âHow did you trick Charles?â
âI said I could help them with a concern, and they agreed immediately.â
âJust like that?â Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows.
Kevin Clark coughed lightly, âI offered them some benefits.â
Daisy Zane narrowed her eyes, about to ask when Kevin Clark leaned in and kissed her lightly, âLet Charles tell you.â Daisy Zane: ââ¦Are you a woodpecker?â
Kevin Clark laughed softly at her words.
Daisy Zane: .
After a chat in the living room, the couple returned to their rooms.
Upstairs, Kevin Clark walked to his bedroom door and watched Daisy Zane enter her own room.
He stared longingly at the doorway and let out a sigh.
Oh, no cuddling tonight.
Oh, maybe itâs time to pick a date for the wedding registration.
As he thought about it, Daisy Zaneâs door opened again, and his eyes instantly lit up, looking at her.
When Daisy Zane came out and saw that he was still standing at the door, with a clearly excited expression in his eyes, she asked with confusion, âWhat are you doing?â
âWhy did you come out?â
âIâm going to see Charles.â
Kevin Clarkâs excitement vanished instantly: ââ¦Oh.â
Daisy Zane looked at him suspiciously again, then turned and went to Charlesâs room.
Little Charles was sitting on his carpet counting money when the door knocked. He thought it was Uncle Wilton, so he opened the door directly.
But when he saw it was Daisy Zane, he instinctively tried to close the door, but Daisy Zaneâs hand pressed against the door, preventing him from shutting it.
âWhat are you doing?â Daisy Zane asked him.
âNothing.â Charles glanced at her and quickly lowered his head, âWhatâs up?
Daisy Zane walked straight into his room and saw the money spread all over the room, âTaking inventory of your wealth?â
Charles followed her without a word.
Daisy Zane squat on the ground and looked at the money, âNot a small amount. Did Beautiful Grandma and Aunt Wood give it all to you?â
âYes,â Charles replied.
Daisy Zane looked at him, âDo you like Beautiful Grandma and Aunt Wood?â
Charles thought for a moment before saying, âThey, along with grandfather, treat me very well. They donât make things difficult for me. Grandma even took down my contact information and just spoke with me a while ago. She asked when I would have time to come over to her place.â
Daisy Zaneâs eyebrows moved gently, and there was a hint of a smile in her eyes. A childâs mind is very perceptive â if he says theyâre good, then they must be good.
âRemember to bring them gifts next time. Use this money to buy them.â âCan I go?â Charles squatted down beside her and looked up at her.
âIf you want to, you can.â
Charles smiled and, after thinking for a moment, continued, âToday Uncle Clark took me to the Court Music Academy.â
âHe introduced me to Master Alex Justin,â Charles said. âGrandpa Justin said he wants to take me as his apprenticeâ¦grandson.â
Daisy Zane looked at Charles, recalling Kevin Clarkâs words about offering a âlittleâ benefit.
A world-class piano master at the Court Music Academy. What a âlittleâ benefit indeed.
âIs it okay?â Charles asked cautiously.
âYou can decide on this matter on your own.â
Charles was so happy that he couldnât even purse his lips, grinning ear to ear and showing his gap teeth.
Daisy Zane looked at his grown teeth and quietly observed him for a while before reaching up and patting his head, âThank you.â
Charlesâs expression, which had been immersed in joy, suddenly froze, and he stared blankly at Daisy Zane.
Daisy Zaneâs voice was as gentle as it could ever be, making her words barely distinguishable from her usual speech: âThank you for helping me eliminate a concern. You were very brave.â
It wasnât as if Charles hadnât been praised or thanked before. Daisy Zane always thanked him every time he bought her a gift.
But this was his first time being thanked in such a way, as if heâd protected her. Charles stared at Daisy Zane, his face slowly turning pink.
Seeing his reaction, Daisy Zane smiled and then scooped up a handful of money from the ground, âEveryone gets a share.â
Charlesâs eyes immediately followed the money in her hand.
Daisy Zane stood up, even deliberately shaking a few bills in her hand and said, âGo to sleep early.â
Then she walked away with the money.
It wasnât until the door closed that little Charles came to his senses. He looked at the remaining money on the floor, clearly missing a few bills, and sat down with a thud, exclaiming, âAh, my money!â
