Elliot carried Robert from the bed and touched the boy's forehead with his fingers. "How did you get all these mosquito bites in the two days that I was away?" After a pause, he looked at Mrs. Cooper, "Didn't you get rid of the mosquitoes? Prepare a mosquito net for him."
"I did. I already bought a mosquito net yesterday and I was planning to set it up later today," Mrs. Cooper replied.
Robert grabbed Elliot's shirt buttons and had a great time playing with them.
"Master Elliot, Layla got suspicious when you did not come home the night before last. She might be young, but she understands a lot of things at her age," Mrs.
Cooper advised. "You must take into account the children's feelings, or else it'd be very difficult to win back the heart of a child."
Elsewhere, Cole finally met Harvey, with the former looking around cautiously when they met.
Harvey arranged to meet him at a high-end cafe
It was that time of day when not a lot of customers were in the cafe.
"Mr. Goodman, is Elliot fuming right now? Be honest with me. For my grandma's sake. I'm not in any danger now, am I?" Cole asked in a low voice.
Harvey pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said awkwardly, "I don't know how to answer your question, Mr. Cole. I was merely entrusted by Mr. Elliot to discuss the share transfer. I do not know about anything else."
Cole heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'm just worried this might be a trap! After all, it's a little hard to believe that everything went so smoothly."
The waiter came over and served them a cup of coffee, respectively.
Harvey picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
Cole was not in the mood to drink coffee. " Mr. Goodman, about that share transfer, is there anything I need to prepare? Could you help me make a list? After all, they’re not for me. It would've been much less troublesome if it was, though. Also, Adrian doesn't even have a bank account."
Harvey was stunned to hear that. "Adrian?"
"Yeah! Adrian's my uncle. You read the news, right? Avery hates me =g$:RJS; my dad, which is exactly why she asked for the shares to be transferred to Adrian,"
Cole said, then frowned slightly. "Of course, it's the same if the shares are transferred to my uncle. After all, we're family."
