Just as the mother and daughter were making fun of each other, a car horn sounded.
“Jaquan should be back. I’ll go and have a look.”
Cierra stood up, planning to go out and welcome him.
After talking to William and the others on the phone in the afternoon, Jaquan also asked about her situation and said that he would come back early.
He would have to work overtime.
It was just because he worried about Cierra, he needed to see her and Will safe and sound in person.
No matter how much money he earned, it was not as important as his family.
Cierra also hoped that his brother could be at ease, so when she heard the sound, she held Will and planned to welcome him.
In the afterglow of the sunset, two men strode over.
They were wearing brown suits that wrapped around their long legs. Their shiny leather shoes stepped on the stone road, which was neither fast nor slow.
Cierra watched from afar, unable to hear what they were saying.
However, in that instant, she suddenly calmed down.
All the trivial things in her mind were emptied, leaving only the figures walking toward her.
Their steps were firm and they were tall. Coupled with the afterglow of the setting sun behind them, wasn’t it a good scenery?
Such beautiful scenery.
By the time Jaquan and Bruno got closer, Cierra had already put on a smile. She held Will and walked forward.
“Jaquan.” She smiled sweetly at him and did not forget Bruno. However, in comparison, her tone was less intimate with Bruno, and she had more politeness. “Bruno.”
Jaquan nodded and looked at Cierra for a moment to see if she was injured.
His other hand was stroking Will’s head gently.
“Did you get scared this afternoon?”
He was asking about Will.
Of course, he was also caring for Cierra.
If the child was fine, the adults would be fine.
Will shook his head. “No, Dad. My aunt took me to a bus and viewed a lot of beautiful scenery by the river. Can I take a bus home by myself after school next time?”
Jaquan was a little surprised. “Didn’t you take a taxi back?”
He had found out about the fact that Cierra didn’t drive. However, he was surprised that the little guys did not call a taxi back but took the bus instead.
Will explained this to Jaquan. He first took the bus and then took a taxi back.
Hearing this, Jaquan also understood.
He nodded and gave his answer.
“You’re still young. If you can take a bus, you can tell the driver. When you go to primary school, you can go to school by yourself. The premise is that once you accept this plan, you can’t go back on your word. You can’t change your mind and ask adults to pick you up because you’re too tired, understand?”
Jaquan did not spoil the child, and he also hoped to respect his thoughts.
He didn’t agree for the sake of his safety. If he was taken away or lost, he didn’t know if he could find him.
He didn’t want another tragedy to happen to the Barton family.
But if Will insisted, it was not a bad thing to be independent in advance.
In the past, when the Barton family was not so rich, his parents didn’t have time to care about him.
He also went to school on his own.
