Johnson hurriedly ushered everyone into the house, exchanging pleasantries as Annika expressed her gratitude profusely.
However, Arton was utterly dumbfounded, a bit unsure of what to do. Perhaps even now, he couldn't believe that he had a son.
As for me, I was filled with emotions. I never imagined that I would be so invested in Melanie's child one day.
I brought Charlie over to Donovan again. This time, the little one hesitated before extending a tiny hand toward the old man.
Donovan couldn't help but break into a wide smile as he took Charlie’s hand. Charlie’s adorable gesture melted everyone's hearts. Georgina and Annika quickly surrounded them happily.
Even the usually stern Arton had a softened expression. He was captivated by this kid that shared the same features as him, and a trace of tenderness and warmth flickered in his eyes.
Georgina was overjoyed. "Oh my, how did this little one suddenly appear? Oh, Arton, you are fortunate. After all these years, you've finally done something right. Thank you, Ms. Chloe! We owe you big time for this.”
It seemed that Georgina was overjoyed. She was quite different from when I was at their place earlier.
I grabbed her arm and said, "Mrs. Georgina, the ones you should thank are these two."
Donovan quickly turned to Arton and said, "Arton. Hurry up and thank them. Look, they've taken such good care of the baby."
Arton finally tore his gaze away from the little one, looking at Johnson and Myra. He bent down and said, "Thank you so much. Thank you for taking care of... my son."
His address seemed a bit awkward, but everyone laughed. Even Charlie cheered excitedly.
Everything ended well. I silently prayed that the little one would have a good upbringing from now on.
My phone rang, and I quickly took it out of my bag. Seeing that it was Adrian calling, I stepped aside and answered, "Hey, Adrian."
"Chloe, due to Melanie's crucial role in Matthew's case, the trial will be postponed despite our efforts. It can't proceed as scheduled tomorrow," Adrian conveyed the news.
