Everly could not help but laugh. "Who taught you this?"
"Mommy, do you think I am a three-year-old child? I am already five years old."
Everly was rendered speechless.
"When Maverick left, he told me the same thing. It's not that I don't want to go and see Candy, but your grandfather probably won't agree now." When Everly thought about the innocent little girl who stayed alone in such a big villa, she felt very sorry for her.
"Why is Grandpa angry?" Edmond was confused. "Forget it! I'll go to talk with Grandpa. Grandma said that his heart is not in good condition and he can't be emotional. I will try my best to comfort him."
Everly laughed.
However, Edmond was right. He would do a better job than her.
After all, Parrish loved his grandson more than his daughter.
Parrish looked very proud and arrogant, but deep inside, he was very fond of children. What was more, he had lost five years of kinship. That was why Parrish doted on Edmond very much now.
Sure enough, less than five minutes later, Edmond ran back and said to Everly that his grandfather had agreed.
Everly was about to ask whether Parrish agreed to let her and Edmond go over there.
However, Edmond added, "Grandpa said that Candy can come to our place."
"Let Candy come over?" Everly was stunned.
Just as Edmond nodded, Parrish followed behind him with a sullen face. He was not in a good mood. "You even know how to threaten me with such a little kid now? It's not a big deal. Since you want to help someone to take care of the child so much, why don't you ask me yourself? Just bring the little girl here. How can you come to his place? It's ridiculous!"
Everly thought to herself, 'Is it not ridiculous to bring Candy here?'
She had no idea about what her father thought about.
If not because of what happened last time, Parrish wouldn't have opposed it openly and so firmly. In fact, Parrish liked children very much. In the past, when Everly and her brother were still young, Parrish doted on them very much, but there was a certain bottom line.
He would never spoil them.
Parrish loved his children the most in the world. When Everly was pregnant, Parrish was so angry that he had a heart attack and stayed in the ICU for a long time.
Therefore, it was easy to imagine that Parrish was moved when he heard that there was a child as old as Edmond staying alone at home.
Of course, Everly believed that her son must exaggerate the story.
Everly thought that it was not a bad idea to let Candy come over, so she planned to pick up Candy herself.
But it would be risky for her to go out now. Afraid that there would be reporters, she contacted Hendrix. However, because Hendrix had a temporary meeting, he could not come over for now.
Everly thought for a moment and called Candy.
The little girl must be waiting for her. When she received the call, she shouted in a pitiful tone, "Everly, when are you coming over? I'm a little scared at home alone."
Everly laughed.
She thought to herself, 'This little girl is really smart. How can anyone say no to her since she said so?'
After all, Maverick was a man. No matter how much he loved his child, he still had a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. He had no way to take care of Candy in every aspect.
During the previous contact with Candy, Everly felt that the little girl was very independent.
The reason why Candy was affectionate with Everly now was that she wanted her to accompany her.
Everly felt very touched. She smiled and said, "Shall I go over to pick you up now?"
