"..."

Brian finally experienced the feelings of an innocent person.

This time, it was really none of his business.

Wendy has never been afraid to make a big deal out of things.

As soon as she heard Joanne say that, she felt that there was something fishy and popped over to ask, "Cousin, what do you mean cousin's husband did something to Aiden again?"

Brian looked deeply at Joanne, obviously signaling Joanne not to say anything.

Unfortunately, Joanne was never that obedient.

Joanne ignored Brian's hints, told Wendy things one by one, and at the end, asked with a bewildered face, "I went upstairs when Aiden was still having a temper tantrum with his father, and now ... what's going on?"

Wendy laughed while pointing at the culprit, explaining for Brian, "This time, we really can't blame cousin husband, it was our family Erha who moved."

Joanne listened to the cloud, "... What's going on?"

Wendy told Joanne the beginning and end of the matter, at the end, she pinched Little Aiden's face, "Can't see that you're actually afraid of dogs, you're a little man!" She guided Little Aiden, "It likes it a lot, can you touch it? It won't hurt you."

Freya met shook his head with a face of refusal, refusing to touch Erha.

Wendy wondered, "How could this happen? Romy isn't even afraid of it."

The last time she went to Wesley's house, Romy happened to run into Buddy, and couldn't wait to carry Buddy back to grow up with her, with no sign of fear of dogs at all.

This reaction from Freya met was really unexpected.

However, Sagiri's reaction was within the crowd's expectations.

Seeing Erha, Romy excitedly let out a "wow" and bent down from Joanne's arms to touch Erha.

Joanne had to put Little Romy down, and the little girl hugged Erha in a flash, smiling with a contented face.

When Erha saw such a cute little girl, of course she was happy, and obediently nestled in Romy's arms, causing Romy to "giggle".

Brian touched Little Aiden's head, signaling him, "Look at your sister."

Freya met reluctantly poked his head out of Brian's arms, saw his sister hugging the dog with a happy face, and finally became less wary, his tiny body relaxing.

Brian realized that this was a time where he could help Aiden make a breakthrough, and tried to put Aiden down, holding his hand to touch Erha's fur, "You touch it."

Freya met not too sure to look at Brian, a pair of cool Brian's eyes half of the fear, the other half is hesitation, by Brian holding the hand has been stiff, just do not dare to take this step.

"Don't be afraid." Brian's tone was always firm and powerful, "Daddy is here."

Aiden chose to trust his dad and finally relaxed, allowing Brian to hold his hand and touch Erha.

Erha's clean and polished fur was soft and nice to the touch, and Freya met couldn't help but touch it a couple more times.

Erha seemed to be sensing the child's goodwill, and her chubby body rubbed against Freya met.

Freya met completely relaxed, looked back at Brian and smiled a little.

Brian stroked the little guy's head and just stayed by the side with him.

Joanne and Wendy never intervened and had stepped aside.

Wendy looked apologetically at Joanne and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry, I didn't know that Aiden was so afraid of dogs, it made him cry."

"It's okay, now it's not afraid anymore." Joanne smiled, "Speaking of which, your cousin's husband still has to thank your family's Erha."

Wendy couldn't help but let out a "giggle--" laugh.

Joanne continued, "If it wasn't for your family's Erha, Aiden would probably still be angry with him."

Wendy held her chin and turned on her nymphomaniac mode, "Cousin Husband is really handsome when he coaxes a child! I finally know why so many people on the internet are shouting to give cousin husband a child!"

Joanne said if she had a point, "Gavin won't be any worse than your cousin's husband when it comes to coaxing children. How about it, do you have any plans in this regard?"

Wendy shook her head, "Gavin said I'm still small ..."

"..." Joanne didn't say anything and couldn't help but laugh.

Wendy couldn't help but spit out, "Cousin, this excuse really sucks right? You don't believe it either, right?"

"Uh-huh." Joanne nodded, "I really don't believe it."

Wendy gave a "humph" and slowly said, "Actually, I know what Gavin is thinking. However, I'm not going to dismantle him for now!"

"..."

Joanne also knew what Gavin was thinking, so she wasn't surprised that Wendy knew.

She just felt that Wendy had really grown up a lot since experiencing Gavin's illness and marrying Gavin.

However, Wendy's growth is more reflected in her heart.

The very likable girlishness of the woman herself has not diminished in the slightest.

Wendy didn't even know that Joanne was sizing her up, and continued to say to herself, "The matter of getting sick had too much of an impact on Gavin, and it's still a shadow for him until now. I want to wait until this matter has completely passed, until he is no longer afraid that there are still accidents happening, then slowly talk to him."

Joanne nodded approvingly, "I think it's okay."

Wendy put down the lemonade and hugged Joanne, saying softly, "Cousin, you're the best! I knew you would support my decision."

Joanne smiled and patted Wendy's shoulder, "It's because you're really thoughtful."

Iris went downstairs, saw that everyone was together, and greeted, "Let's eat, or the food should get cold."

While the adults were eating, the two little ones were playing with Erha in the living room, completely forgetting about the matter of looking for Brian and Joanne.

After dinner, Brian and Gavin went upstairs to the study to discuss things, Joanne and Wendy sat in the living room and chatted, surrounded by two little ones and a Erha, the atmosphere was always very cozy.

Nearly ten o'clock, Gavin came down from upstairs with a flourish and called out to Wendy, "Ready to go home."

Wendy rubbed Erha's head, "We're ready to go back."

Erha seemed to realize that separation was imminent, rubbing against the two little ones and getting up to follow Wendy away.

Joanne held Romy in one hand and Aiden in the other, sending Gavin and Wendy out the door.

She smoothed out Romy's hair and said, "Honey, say goodbye to Uncle Gavin and Auntie Wendy."

The two little guys obediently raised their hands and waved them twice at Gavin and Wendy in the car.

Wendy smiled brightly, lying down by the car window, also waving her hand at the two little ones, "Bye, I'll see you guys again sometime this weekend!"

Quickly, the white car drove off and the red taillights disappeared at the end of the road.

Little Romy seemed to be feeling sad and whimpered, burying her face into Joanne's arms.

Joanne froze for a moment and hugged the little girl tighter, stroking her head, "Baby, what's wrong?"

She took a closer look and realized that Romy's eyes were red, tears watering, looking like she had suffered some great grievance, her appearance was heartbreaking.

But this time, she couldn't figure out what was going on.

Freya met also fondly looked at the direction Gavin's car left, and was not very happy like Romy.

Brian walked out, hugged Romy and wiped the tears from the corner of the little girl's eyes, "Don't cry, let someone send you a puppy tomorrow."

Joanne then reacted that the two little ones were unable to give up Erha.

She handed the two little ones over to Martha and Iris and looked at Brian in disbelief, "Don't you dislike pets?"

Shortly after she and Brian got married, she accidentally learned that both Wesley and Gavin kept their own pets, and only Brian did not.

Out of curiosity, she asked Brian why he didn't raise it.

Brian's answer was very simple, "I don't like it."

He didn't like it before, does he like pets now?

Brian didn't answer and asked in turn, "Do you like it?"

"I wanted to raise it before, but I often worked overtime and traveled, so I didn't raise it for fear of not raising it well." Joanne said and suddenly reacted that something is not right, looking at Brian, "What are you trying to say?"

Brian raised his eyebrows, "It's enough that you guys like it."

Joanne pursued, "What about you?"

"Seeing as you like it, I can try to accept it."

"..."

Joanne looked at Brian steadily, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Brian seemed to have read Joanne's thoughts and raised the corner of his lips, "If you don't know what to say, you can give me a kiss and I'll be happy to accept it."

Joanne was helpless and happy.

For her and the two little ones, Brian could compromise and change, and she felt happy.

Also, what she was thinking, Brian actually knew all about it.

Even Chris, I'm afraid, couldn't do this.

Joanne was helpless that Brian s way ... of claiming compensation was still only that one.

She kissed Brian and went back to the living room arm in arm with Brian.

The two little ones sulked, Joanne walked over and picked up Romy, rubbed the little one's forehead and said, "Don't be unhappy, tomorrow you can have your own puppy too."

Little Romy blinked her eyes seemingly unintelligibly, rubbed off the tears stained on her long eyelashes, and hugged Joanne very reliantly.

Brian also stretched out his hand towards Aiden, "I'll take you to take a bath."

Freya met Brian's hand and followed Brian upstairs with her long little legs.

He is still small, walking several steps do not match Brian step by step, but Brian is not in a hurry, very patient to accompany him, step by step forward.

Brian thought that when he was this old, his father must have accompanied him in the same way, allowing him to go from slow to big steps.

Halfway there, Aiden took a long breath and suddenly squatted down, tilting her head to look helplessly at Brian.

Brian didn't need to guess to know that the little one must be tired.

He crouched down as well, a light smile on his lips, and leveled his eyes with the little one.

At this moment, Brian's heart can not be counted as how surging, he just felt that time is really something magical ...
