Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison novel Chapter 446

“There’s nobody in this world who’s more professional than Vincent Poole. Hasn’t Robert already asked him back? Let him check Wesley over first, then we can act on it. I feel like other people can’t match his experience at all. I looked into his reputation and he basically sits at the top of his line of work. If we get him, other experts would just look like infants. There’s no need to get anyone else.”

“Robert, you told me that he’s coming back to D City in the afternoon. When is he going to look at Wesley? How’s his personality? Is he going to give us trouble?”

“He’s a mysterious fellow. Sometimes, money alone isn’t enough to get him here. I’d been ready for a lot of difficulty in asking him here, but I didn’t think he’d agree so readily. I’m going to pick him up in person this afternoon. I’ll only be able to judge what he needs when I see him, and see if he’s willing to help.”

Georgia shot a look at her phone reflexively. It was past three in the afternoon. She turned back to Robert, urging him.

“It’s almost two hours from the house to the airport. You’re still home. Aren’t you going to the airport to get Vincent here?”

“I’ll set off in half an hour. His flight’s delayed, and he’ll only arrive at around eight or so. I’m not sure how long we’ll be talking for, Georgia. No need to wait for me tonight. If there’s any news, I’ll notify you right away. If I’m not back late at night, rest first.”

Georgia cold only nod.

After that, they chatted with Ivan about Wesley for a while longer, then Robert left.

Ivan sat on the car coming to pick him up and went back to his own place.

After that, the kids were still napping. Georgia gave Carr a call.

“Why the sudden call, Georgia? Are you out of hospital yet? Has your body recovered?”

Carr’s voice was gentle, and Georgia called him uncle this time.

“I was discharged this morning, Uncle Carr. My body’s recovering just fine right now. I wanted to ask you when you’re going back overseas.”

“I have a think tank to attend in two weeks, and the time’s set. We’re going back in two weeks at the latest. What is it? Do you need my help for something?”

“Didn’t you say you wanted to have a meal with us, Uncle Carr? I wanted to set the time. When are you free? We can come over in person, and you can visit our home too. I just wanted to see which option was easier for you, and I can arrange it.”

“I’m living with your Aunt Laurie in a hotel right now. Aston’s living in his house alone. He doesn’t like having us parents with him. We’re in a hotel around where he lives. We can come over to your place. It’s not convenient to leave with children, so we can make the trip.”

Georgia agreed, and Carr continued.

“As for the time, I’ve got several talks to go to tomorrow and the day after, and I need to go to some schools to give speeches to the students. Are you free in three days? I can come over with your Aunt Laurie that day.”

Georgia acquiesced right away. She really wanted to confirm if Wesley’s headache had anything to do with Aston’s parents.

But that was just speculation, and she couldn’t say it out loud in case the old couple thought they’d hurt the kid.

Besides, it wasn’t a solid reason anyway, and it was complicated to explain, so Georgia didn’t tell them about it.

After hanging up, Georgia thought about it in silence, then received another phone call.

This time, she saw the number. It was Aston.

Georgia found it strange. The moment she picked up, Aston’s voice rang out.

“I thought about it all night. You were right yesterday. I was too childish. Curling up like a porcupine just because I’m feeling down, raising my spikes to the whole world. That’s my problem. I’m sorry.”

Aston actually apologized to her actively. Georgia found it a little unbelievable.

But she didn’t mind it too much anyway, and chuckled.
