Chapter 629
Adina stopped him and held his hand as they walked to the garden at the side.
George looked down.He did not know how to explain everything that had happened in the morning.He knew that his mommy would ask him about it, but he still had not found an excuse to tell his mother.
"Georgie, do you trust Mommy?"
Adina held him by the shoulders, and they looked each other in the eyes.
George nodded gently.
"I trust you."
Adina asked again, "So, who do you trust more now, Daddy or Mommy?"
"Mommy," George said without hesitation.
"Great." Adina flashed him a smile of relief.
"I’m going to ask you a few questions.Can you answer me honestly?"
George became silent.
He naturally knew what his mom wanted to ask, but could he really tell her about those things?
"You're very smart, so I’m sure you’ve felt that something’s been off with your dad recently, right? I've actually been looking for the reason, and I have a bold guess, but I can’t tell you for the time being," Adina slowly said.
"I’ve already sorted out some things, but I can’t investigate the projects and documents in the company, so I can only ask you.
"Georgie, you’ re a well-behaved kid, so you won’t just check out your dad’s office desk for no reason.I guess you must’ve felt that something was wrong too, right?"
George twisted his fingers and gloomily said, "I heard Dad talking to his new assistant, and it sounded strange."
‘What did you hear them talk about?"
George hesitantly described what he had heard and seen.
He grabbed the hem of Adina’s shirt, bit his bottom lip, and said, "Mommy, I’m really scared.The documents in Dad’s drawer made me feel very anxious.I don’t know what to do."
"Georgie, forget everything you saw and heard today."
