Chapter 488 You’re Going to Scare Her

Evan asked softly, “Aren’t you afraid she might hurt you?”

Axel shook his head and flashed a smile at Evan. “You’ll protect me, right, Daddy?”

Evan tenderly stroked Axel’s head. “Give me two more days. If I can’t find it by then, I’ll bring her here,

alright?”

Axel obediently nodded. “Okay.”

Not long after their conversation, Axel closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Evan’s heart ached when he withdrew his hand, finding a strand of Axel’s hair in his palm. He had

forgotten that Axel would lose his hair–too caught up in tending to Axel’s discomfort.

Suppressing the pain in his chest, he stood up, his face tense. He left the room and instructed the

bodyguard to fetch a hairstylist.

Meanwhile, at Bayview Villa..

When her phone rang, Caroline was getting ready to head downstairs and ask Eira to prepare more

food. She hesitated for a moment upon seeing an unfamiliar number but answered it.

“Hello, who’s calling?” Caroline inquired.

“It’s me, Greta,” said the voice on the other end.

Caroline took a seat and replied, “Ms. Shawn, it’s Sunday, and the clothing style hasn’t been finalized

yet.”

Greta put the call on speaker and placed her phone on the coffee table. She glanced at Thomas before

saying. “Can you have it ready by next week?”

Caroline considered for a moment and said, “We can rush the design department, and it should be

ready in two days. Oh, by the way, Ms. Shawn, can I ask for the location of the impoverished area?”

“It’s on Mount Zenya in Fawn County, Staten City,” Greta answered.

Caroline said, “Alright. I’ll deliver the goods to you next week, and we’ll produce them in all sizes.”

Greta remarked, “The extra order must be a hassle for you, right? I heard your company’s fashion

production is running at full capacity.”

“It’s quite busy indeed, Ms. Shawn. However, it’s manageable,” Caroline replied honestly.

Greta thanked her and then asked, “Are you free tomorrow, Ms. Shenton? My husband and I would like

to

express our gratitude to you.”

Caroline couldn’t bring herself to decline anymore. “Alright then, see you tomorrow.”

“Goodbye, Ms. Shenton.”

After ending the call, Greta asked Thomas if it was alright.

Thomas patted Greta’s hand. “Thank you for doing this, love. The child seems quite polite.”

“Her personality is quite admirable, too. From our previous meeting, I could tell she’s well–mannered

and

composed. She’s much better than our Yulia,” Greta remarked.

Thomas suggested, “I don’t know what the child likes. Should we get her a gift tomorrow?”

Greta shook her head. “Let’s not rush it. Giving her a gift before spending time with her might

overwhelm

her.”

Thomas nodded. “You’re the thoughtful one, love.”

Caroline opened her laptop and searched for information about the impoverished area in Zenya. She

was

about to start working when Paige entered the room,

Caroline noticed Paige’s swollen eyes and was taken aback. “Why are your eyes so puffy? Have you

been

crying?”

Paige slumped onto the sofa. “I don’t feel well. Let’s not talk about me. What did Casey say to you last

night?”

Caroline sent a text message to Eira, asking her to bring an ice pack. She then began to share the

details

of her conversation with Paige, satisfying her curiosity.
