The president's office was so well-insulated that the sound from the previous commotion
had not passed through the wall to the adjacent room where the children were. They had no
idea what had transpired.
The bad mood caused by the intrusion of the uninvited guest just now had been allayed by
the fun and games.
The three children had a great time playing VR games in the lounge.
The gaming setup in here was the most advanced. Equipped with hi-tech seats, the gaming
experience was as real as it could get, almost transporting the children into the game itself.
The trio was seated side-by-side in the seats, donning the special goggles. They were
experiencing the mysteries of space currently.
From time to time, they exclaimed excitedly and screamed in pleasant surprise as their
hands fluttered around.
Dori seemed to be joining in the fun as well, as it flapped its wings and flew around the
screen, seemingly wanting to enter into the same world to experience the same joys as the
three children.
Zayn had changed his clothes and walked in. Witnessing the children's elation, he could
not help but curved the corner of his lips into a satisfied smirk.
He felt he now knew why Carla was so obsessed with money in the past. For the sake of
earning more, she would even sell him off to some rich cougar…
After all, it was all for the sake of raising up these three little rascals!
No matter what trials and tribulations one faced outside, the moment one stepped back
home and witnessed the three of them, surely all troubles and worries of the day would just
dissipate…
"Mr. Giblo…" Seeing him coming over, the three nurses prepared to inform the children.
Zayn gestured to them not to disturb the children. He wanted to let them finish the game
first.
Outside, Benard had already readied the car. Brandy stepped in and mentioned, "Sir, shall I go
back to fetch Miss Wigston?"
"Don't worry too much about it." Checking his watch, Zayn decided, "We'll go over first.
Let her set out one hour later."
"Understood."
"There's something else I wish to report." Leaning into Zayn's ear, Brandy whispered, "Miss
Giblo has been staying in Aymo City and hasn't left. Mayhap she is waiting for the news of the
old man waking up."
Upon hearing these words, Zayn deeply furrowed his brows. He had not cared much for
neither the Bendays nor the Chromas. The troublesome one he was wary of was this aunt
of his.
She possessed a black heart and a cunning mind. Her methods were swift and vicious. Her
plots were sly and subtle. She would do anything and sacrifice anyone to achieve her
insidious goals. Those qualities combined made her a formidable opponent not to be
underestimated.
During the last visit to Grandpa, even though she seemingly did nothing out of place, he had
long suspected that there was something amiss. He did not manage to smell out the tricks
up her sleeves…
Due to this, he dared not to lower his guard against her.
"Let's not fetch Carla today, " Zayn uttered, changing his mind, "Deploy more
personnel to protect the children."
"Acknowledged." Brandy immediately sprang to action.
Zayn had known that something that happened last time had cast a great shadow over
Carla. She herself had known that her father's death was related to Solara. Should a
chance encounter occur at the hospital between two of them later, Zayn could not
predict what the outcome would be…
It would be troublesome as well should the children be frightened.
Rather than taking chances, might as well not let her go this time. Utilizing all manpower to
ensure the children's safety would be the next prudent thing to do.
As the children were still engrossed in their games, Zayn went out and called Carla.
"Hi!" His call was quickly picked up. Carla sounded groggy as if she had just woken up
from her sleep, "What's the matter?"
"Grandpa is awake, " Zayn curtly relayed the good news.
"Really?" Seemingly fully awake from her previous slumber, Carla joyfully asked, "That's
great! Shall we go there earlier? Let me start preparing now…"
"No." Zayn cut her off and gently said, "Just rest at home. We won't go over today."
"Huh?" Carla had not expected the reply and reacted, "Why? Then what about the
children?"
"I'll take them over, " Zayn answered.
Carla was surprised. After all, he had promised in the morning to take her along.
Suddenly now he had changed his mind…
What does this signify?
Perhaps he did not plan to tell old Jombo about her yet. Even worse, maybe he had not
prepared to marry her?
"Daddy…" The shouts of the children could be heard coming from the back.
"I'll hang up the call first, " Zayn informed before advising, "Get some good rest."
Immediately after, he hung up.
