When Stanley was brought by Calvin, he already knew the cause and effect, so he said lightly, "It's okay. It just happens that I have to go out, so I can drive Arya there."
"But..."
Violet wanted to say something. Suddenly, the door in front of her was opened. Arya came out from the inside and hugged Stanley's leg, "Mommy, I want Uncle Murphy to drive me!"
Calvin smiled triumphantly, "Look, my method really worked. Arya came out as soon as she heard Uncle Murphy."
Violet squinted at Calvin, then he closed his mouth immediately.
Violet looked at Stanley again and bowed to him apologetically, "Mr. Murphy, I'm really sorry. I have troubled you again and again."
"No worries." Stanley touched Arya's head and replied in a mild voice.
"Dad, hug!" Arya opened her hands and looked at Stanley.
Violet almost choked on her own saliva. She patted the little girl on the back and corrected, "It’s Uncle Murphy."
"No." Arya held Stanley's neck, "Uncle Murphy is my Dad. Anyway, Mommy, you won't tell me and brother who our Dad is. Then Uncle Murphy is my Dad."
"You..." Violet was so speechless. Her face was flushed with anger.
Stanley smiled faintly, "It's okay. I'm very happy to be their Dad."
When Calvin heard the words, his smart eyes blinked, as if he was thinking about something.
The next moment, Calvin pulled the corner of Violet's clothes, "Mommy, I want to go to kindergarten with Arya. I haven't gone there for a long time."
"Well." Violet nodded and agreed.
If he went to school with Arya, she wouldn’t feel lonely at school.
"Okay." Calvin clapped his little hands.
Stanley pulled him, held Arya with one hand and said to Violet, "Then we have to leave first."
"Okay." Violet gave a hmm, and walked them to the elevator.
The elevator arrived very quickly. After saying goodbye to Violet, the two children followed Stanley into the elevator.
The elevator door was closed. Calvin put his small hands on his hips and looked up at Stanley, "Uncle Murphy, you just said that you are very happy to be our Dad, aren't you?"
Stanley put Arya down and looked at him, "Yes."
"Sure enough! What Godfather said is true." Calvin nodded.
The Godfather in his mouth was George. Stanley knew it. He narrowed his eyes a little displeased, "What did he say is true?"
"I heard Godfather call someone in the hospital a few days ago and mentioned Uncle Murphy and Mommy. Godfather said that Uncle Murphy likes Mommy."
"I heard it too." Unwilling to be left behind, Arya quickly said with her small hand raising up.
Calvin looked at Stanley with a grin, "I didn't believe it at first until you said it just now. Then I was sure that Godfather was right. If you don't like Mommy, why are you happy to be our Dad? Although I’m young, I know there is an idiom called ‘love me love my dog’. You like Mommy, so you like us."
A slight surprise flashed in Stanley's eyes.
He had always known that this kid was a genius, but he didn't expect that the kid actually knew the feelings between men and women so well.
Stanley felt proud of Calvin. He squatted down and looked at Calvin.
At this moment, he no longer regarded Calvin as a child, but as a partner who could have equal conversations.
