Outside of Arlington, Wesley's villa.

Wesley watched as his cell phone returned to the main screen, almost in disbelief that Rowdy had hung up just like that.

Could it be that Rowdy really doesn't count as minding Emily anymore?

Wesley glanced at Emily from afar, inexplicably feeling more sympathy for this child, but ultimately said nothing.

He put his phone away and was about to walk back into the living room when he saw Emily looking at him.

Mu eyes ...

Wesley froze and couldn't help but suspect that he was experiencing an illusion.

If it wasn't an illusion, why was there a profound sadness on the face of a five-year-old?

What caused this child to grieve?

Or did Mu find out something?

On the coffee table in front of Mu, there was another half a Coke, half an order of fries, and a full vegetable salad.

Mu had a big appetite a moment ago, but now, he obviously didn't have much of an appetite anymore.

Wesley walked over and looked at the little kid, his voice as gentle as possible, "Why aren't you eating?"

Emily lowered her eyes as if she didn't see the food in front of her, her long eyelashes trembling a bit, appearing particularly aggravated.

After a long time, the little one asked in a trembling voice, "My daddy doesn't want me anymore, does he?"

"..."

A feeling similar to a sour feeling flooded Wesley's heart, and for a moment, since he didn't know what to say.

Standing on the sidelines, Kai actually seldom came into contact with children, and had no special feelings for them; on the contrary, he felt that brats were all a kind of troublesome creatures that he refused to come into contact with.

However, this brat from the Kent family is different.

He's more pathetic than any other kid.

And, of course, he's smarter and more knowledgeable than the other kids.

Just like at this moment, Wesley answered a phone call, and before Kai even knew what was going on, he had already guessed the entire phone call and guessed it out - his daddy most likely didn't care about him anymore.

Most importantly, this kid can ask very directly.

He's obviously still so young, but he doesn't run away from any truth.

Wesley never claimed to be compassionate, but at this moment, looking at Emily, he simply couldn't bear to hurt this child, so he found a more euphemistic way to say it, "Your daddy and I, we just haven't talked about the terms yet."

"..." Emily's head was buried even lower, "But if Daddy still wants me, he'll agree to you no matter what conditions you put forward."

"..."

Once again, Wesley was speechless.

Kai suddenly felt his heart sink, bubbling with an urge to simply adopt the little brat.

But he's Rowdy's son.

Adoption is such an idea ... just think about it.

Wesley got up and gently patted Emily's shoulder, "Tonight, you'll stay here first."

Mu nodded her head and sulked without making another sound.

Not having the confidence to take care of a child, Wesley glanced at Guang and said, "You stay too."

"Me?" Kai also has no experience in taking care of children ah, a face of difficulty, trying to refuse, "Seven brother, I ..."

Wesley's hawk-like eyes narrowed, "Cut the crap!"

"..." said Light, closing his voice in complete resignation.

Emily seemed to know what Kai was struggling with and looked at him, saying in a milky voice, "Uncle, I won't be any trouble at all, just keep an eye on me."

"Hey ..." Kai was worried that he had hurt the child's fragile little heart and was busy explaining, "I don't mean to dislike you, I just ... "

Without waiting for Kai to finish his explanation, Emily made a couple of "grunts", as if he never thought that Kai would dislike him, with an incredulous look on his face, "Why do you dislike me? I don't even dislike you!"

"..."

Light froze, surprisingly speechless.

Wesley had long since seen the brat's ability to be eloquent, and after glancing at Kai, he instructed, "Take him upstairs first, I still have something to do."

"Good."

Kai nodded and pulled Emily over, leading him upstairs.

The only person left in the living room was Wesley.

Wesley made a call to the Lu family in Dingya Mountain Resort and told Simon that he was looking for Joanne.

Not just Simon, Joanne was also surprised, when she took the call, Joanne's voice still had a surprise that she couldn't hide, "Wesley, what's wrong?"

"Emily is here with me, to spend the night." Wesley's voice sounded a bit unnatural, "However, I don't have a change of clothes for small children here, and I don't know where to find them, can you help me think of a way?"

Joanne had already become a mother, and as for how to quickly get clothes for small children, Wesley believed that she had a way.

Joanne was even more surprised.

It wasn't an accident why Emily was there when Wesley was there, Brian had already told her a little bit about the whole thing when he came home, and she knew that Emily was now in Wesley's hands.

She was surprised that Wesley actually took such good care of Emily.

Hey, it's true that a man will be different when he becomes a father-to-be.

"I'll get it for you." Joanne smiles, "Brian knows your address, I'll buy it for you and immediately ask someone to send it to you."

"Okay, thanks." Wesley paused and added, "I have something, I need to look for Brian."

Brian was right next to him, and Joanne directly handed him the microphone, "Joanne is looking for you."

Brian didn't need to guess to know why Wesley was looking for him, took the receiver and asked directly, "What's the situation?"

"Rowdy doesn't agree." In order not to let Emily hear, Wesley turned his back to the direction of the second floor, his voice a little low, "He doesn't intend to care about Emily at all."

Emily is Rowdy's biological son, Rowdy doesn't care about Emily, Brian was inevitably surprised and subconsciously asked, "What's going on?"

"...," Wesley briefly recapitulated his call with Rowdy and concluded, "That's what happened."

"..." Brian pondered for a moment and asked with some amusement, "So, Rowdy is certain that you won't harm Emily and refuses to make a deal with you?"

"It seems that the truth is like this." Wesley was also helpless.

The reason why the truth had turned out to be like this, to put it mildly, it had to be blamed on the fact that Wesley's usual reputation was too good, otherwise Rowdy wouldn't have been so relieved to leave Emily in his hands.

However, it's better not to say such solid words to Wesley

Brian gently "coughed" and changed the topic, "You can't keep Emily all the time, what are you going to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Wesley paused, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Good." Brian didn't say anything more, "For now then."

Brian hung up the phone, and Joanne had already chosen Emily's clothes and said, "It will be delivered to Situ's house in 45 minutes."

Brian kissed Joanne's forehead, "Hard work."

"Well, it's not hard." Joanne smiled, "I'll take it as an early preview of picking out the big kid's clothes, but ..." she hesitated and didn't say anything further.

Brian looked at Joanne,"But what?"

"Why didn't Rowdy come to pick up Emily?" The more Joanne said, the more she felt puzzled, "Is ... Rowdy not worried about Emily at all?"

Brian has already become a father and similarly finds Rowdy's decision unbelievable, but the fact that it is so is irrefutable.

In the end, Brian helplessly told Joanne, "Rowdy didn't agree to Wesley's trading conditions because he believed that Wesley wouldn't harm Emily."

"... "Joanne was speechless for a long time, "This ... seems to be something that can only be blamed on Wesley."

"Hmm?" Brian suddenly realized that Joanne's thought process might not be close to his and raised his eyebrows, "Why do you say that?"

"Sir Si's usual 'popularity rating' is too good!" Joanne said, "He doesn't pretend to be benevolent at all, and when he says he won't harm the elderly and children, he really won't harm the elderly and children, Rowdy has already caught him, and is certain that he won't harm Emily, so of course he is emboldened to not agree to deal with him."

Brian's lips held a light smile as he nodded, "I think so too."

Joanne laughed, stood on her tiptoes and kissed Brian, and while pulling Brian upstairs, she asked, "What's Sir Si planning to do?"

Brian touched Joanne's head, "He hasn't made a decision yet."

"Well, there's no rush." Joanne said with certainty, "No matter what, Rowdy's bet was indeed right, and Sir Si indeed won't hurt Emily."

The two had just arrived upstairs when Linda came out of the children's room and said that Aiden and Romy were ready for bed.

Brian didn't forget that when he didn't see the two little ones for a week, Romy lost his temper with him and said, "I'll go in and check on them."

"I've been watching them all day." Joanne stretched, "I'll go back to my room and take a shower first."

"Uh-huh." Brian let go of Joanne's hand, "Go on, I'll be back in my room soon."

Joanne didn't care when Brian went back to his room, he turned around and slipped back.

It didn't take long for the people from the boutique to deliver the clothes Joanne had picked out to Wesley's villa.

One of the men took it and sent it into the house to Wesley.

Wesley directly took it upstairs, handed it to Kai, and instructed, "Take Emily to take a bath and go to bed early."

"Yeh!" Emily jumped away as if escaping a flooded beast, looking at Kai with a face of rejection, "I don't want it, I'm always at home with Auntie Yuna helping me take a bath, I want Auntie Yuna ah!"

Wesley squatted down and looked at Emily with a somewhat serious expression, "I also want Auntie Yuna, but she's not here right now, you have to listen to me, got it?"

Mu blinked, "Why should I listen to you?"

"Because even if Auntie Yuna is here, she still has to listen to me." Wesley knocked the brat's head, "Do you need me to explain?"

Mu flattened her mouth, "Okay no need."

The kid rummaged through the bag, found a set of cotton pajamas, slipped into the bathroom, closed the door with a bang, and shouted, "I'll wash myself, I don't want a boy to help me bathe!"

"... "Kai touched his nose, "I'm still a boy in his eyes? That means I look, don't I look younger than Chen Dong?"

Emily had just called Chen Dong Uncle!

Kai thinks, he should be happy hahahahaha ...
