What am I going to do? I'm not ready to meet his father yet! Besides, that scum and I agreed that he'd be the one to take me to see his father.
That way, I'd have more time to make myself more presentable so that when his father sees that I'm sincere, he wouldn't be as mad.
That was the deal! In her state of panic, Amora was about to tuck tail and leave.
"Ms.Rory, where are you going?"
"Huh? Umm...I just remembered that there's something I have to do.I'll be back later,"
Amora formulated a response in haste.
Yeah, it's not the right time.
I'll avoid him for now and come back here after he's gone.
However, something seemed off about Berta this time as she tried to make her stay.
"Ms.Rory, Mr.Ronin is going to be here soon.Since you saved lan and have been caring for him all this time, you should stay and meet his grandfather.He's a nice person, so I'm sure he'll be very grateful to you when he finds out that you're his grandson's savior."
The housemaid's attitude toward Amora took a hundred and eighty-degree turn.
Amora couldn't help but feel skeptical.
Despite her rising suspicions, there were more pressing matters at hand, and she couldn't be bothered figuring out Berta's motives.
"No thanks.It's not a big deal anyway.Well then, I'll be leaving now."
With that, Amora put down the bowl in her hand and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Berta rushed over to grab her arm.
She was about to stop the latter from leaving when a small figure appeared at the stairs.
"What are you doing?" lan asked.
Having locked himself in his bedroom for the whole afternoon ever since Amora brought up preschool, he finally made an appearance right then.
Although Amora was delighted to see him, she made sure to approach him carefully.
"Little lan, there's something I have to do back home, so I need to leave for a while, but I'll come here again at night.Is that okay?"
lan remained silent.
None of them knew that it wasn't a coincidence that he had come down at that moment.
When he was upstairs, he had actually heard that his grandfather was visiting and noticed the panic in his mother's voice as she argued with the annoying housemaid.
That was why he came down.
Why is Mommy so scared? Why is she rushing to go home? Could she be...scared of Grandpa? Is it because she lied about being dead last time, then secretly took Matteo and Vivian with her?
There was no change in his expression when he glanced at his mother, but a brief moment later, he commanded in an adorable voice, "Don't let him in!"
"What?"
The moment he said that, Amora stopped in her tracks, and even Berta snapped her gaze to him with a look of shock on her face.
