Chapter 2060
Dunn followed Wynn and the others, while Emma and Aaron followed closely behind.
Hendrix and I were some distance behind.
Walking side by side through the corridor, we enjoyed some alone time together. As I looked at the thin boy who had fallen to the back of the line. All sorts of feelings welled up in my heart as I sighed, "He's still so young. He doesn't know what it means to be a servant. Isn't it rather selfish of us to make an agreement with him where he has to protect Aurelia with his life?"
I didn't object to Hendrix's good deed, but he had made the agreement under very unfair terms. Although this was for Aurelia's sake, we couldn't guarantee if the boy would get wounded one day and develop evil thoughts once he had grown up.
"And," After a brief pause, I continued solemnly, "I feel that there's more to him than it seems. Although he looks like a child, he isn't as innocent as one. He's like a deep, stagnant pool of water...
Just like that person.
While I was lost in thought, I felt my shoulder being wrapped in a warm familiar feeling. I turned around and saw Hendrix's hand holding onto my shoulder, pulling me into his embrace.
"Aurelia has a pure and innocent nature. We have to be very careful to preserve it." Hendrix took very good care of me and took each step forward steadily. He said this easily, which reassured me. "No one can stop my daughter from growing up peacefully. In a few days time, I will find a suitable opportunity to send the child away. At that time, I will need you to cover for me."
He had already taken everything into consideration.
I smiled and agreed, "If necessary, it's fine for me to be the bad guy here. Aurelia isn't very close to you. She shouldn't be estranged from you over this."
A husband and wife should understand these things and help each other. Only then could they live a happy life together.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Hendrix held my shoulder and rubbed it comfortingly. He lowered his head and smiled without saying anything. I wonder if he actually heard me.
It turned out that we were right to be worried. Aurelia paid much more attention to the boy than Wynn did.
The moment he entered the house, Hendrix instructed the servants to get the boy cleaned up. Aurelia would occasionally sneak around to watch him.
It made me uneasy.
Paying too much attention at the
beginning was often the first step to
diving deep into the abyss. You might get to know just the bare minimum about a person but be completely oblivious to the schemes and intentions they kept within, just like this kid which we knew nothing about.
After thinking it over, I called Wynn over.
"Dear." I ruffled his freshly washed hair and said with a smile, "Can you do me a favor?"
Wynn, who was always good tempered, nodded and agreed without saying a word. "Mommy, what do you want me to do?"
After thinking for a moment, I leaned
al.ne
in and whispered into his ear, "Aurelia has been playing a lot today. Can you think of a way to send her to her room and get some sleep?"
"Alright." Wynn agreed and walked
stone pillar, pretending to be playing with a toy. In truth, he was sneaking glances at
to agreed and walked
warelia.
Soon, the siblings began to talk to each other.
I looked at them from a distance, feeling both satisfied and confident in them. It was very
beneficial to have more children around.
In Aurelia's eyes, Wynn was much more credible than Hendrix and I. To use Wynn as bait, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
I expected Wynn to be successful, but I didn't expect him to be able to complete the task in such a short time.
In less than a minute, Aurelia tossed the doll in her hand away and hopped up the stairs happily.
I was surprised. Reaching out to stop Wynn, I asked, "Wynn, what did you say to Aurelia? How did she agree to it so easily?"
