"We don't go to the kindergarten to pick up children." Stanley replied when he turned his head to look at Violet while it was the traffic lights.
Violet tilted her head in confusion, "If we don't go to kindergarten, who will go to pick up the children?"
"Mom called me and said she would pick them up, letting us go directly to the villa." Stanley replied, turning the steering wheel.
Listening to Stanley call Lily Mom, Violet felt a little surprised.
After one night, he could call Lily Mom so naturally.
"What are you thinking about?" Stanley asked suddenly.
Violet came to her senses and shook her head, "Nothing, I'm just thinking..."
Before she finished her speaking, the phone ringing suddenly interrupted her.
She had no choice but to take her phone out of her bag. When she saw the caller ID, she frowned, "Stanley, it's Director Murphy."
"Ivan?" Stanley squinted.
Violet nodded, "I don't know why he called me. Do I have to answer it?"
She asked him.
Stanley nodded, "Answer it."
He also wanted to know the purpose of Ivan calling her.
Hearing Stanley say that, Violet did not hesitate. She turned on speaker and answered it, "Director Murphy, what’s up?"
Ivan's voice came, "I heard that you and Stanley got married. Congratulations."
Violet looked at Stanley, then smiled, "Thank you, Director Murphy."
"You still call me Director Murphy? Shouldn't you call me brother?" Ivan teased Violet.
Stanley frowned. He was obviously a little unhappy.
Violet saw it. She knew that their brothers were at odds, and he had never called Ivan brother.
If she called Ivan brother, it meant that she admitted Ivan as his brother for him.
So Violet pretended that she didn't hear Ivan's words, with a polite smile on her face, "Director Murphy, what’s up?"
"Tsk, it's really boring." Ivan also knew that Violet didn't want to call him brother. So he sighed, but there was no regret on his face. He pushed his glasses and said, “Are you with Stanley now?"
Violet looked at Stanley.
Stanley shook his head slightly.
Violet nodded knowingly, and said, "No, I'm driving to pick up the children. What's wrong?"
"Well." Ivan didn't doubt what she said. He was staring at the map on the computer screen in front of him, squinting, "How is it going with the will?"
Violet's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened, “...I haven't inquired it yet."
"Haven't inquired it yet?" Ivan frowned. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with her answer, "It's been so long. What are you doing?"
His tone was a little anxious, which also revealed that the will was very important to him.
Stanley lowered his eyes.
It seemed that Ivan really knew what was written down in Grandpa's will.
"Director Murphy, I'm really sorry." Violet took a breath, "But I really have no ways. I couldn't find the opportunity to inquire about the will with Stanley. If I inquire it casually, he will definitely doubt me."
Hearing this, Ivan couldn't deny that what she said really made sense.
Stanley was suspicious.
