Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 698

Carson was still quite afraid of the old man.

Especially when the old man looked at him with disapproval.

He immediately shrank back, hiding behind his great-grandmother. However, his demeanor remained unchanged, as he continued to look at the old man with unwavering eyes.

The old man couldn't be bothered with him and instead said to Hugh, "Kevin and Carson can now attend kindergarten. Little Luci is already going at this age." Naturally, the kindergarten the Stone family attended was different from ordinary kindergartens.

This kindergarten was a bit more upscale.

It taught many things.

Including etiquette, among others.

In other words, only distinguished families of high standing in the city could get into this kindergarten; others might not even be able to enter if they wanted to.

Hugh also heard his little grandson's words just now, and his expression was somewhat displeased.

Upon hearing this, he quickly replied, "Yes."

Hugh was different from his two brothers; he was now not at the Stone Corporation headquarters, having retired early. With Lambert there, it was the same whether he was at the company or not. So he needed to handle some of the miscellaneous affairs of the Stone family.

Carson somewhat did not understand the atmosphere among the adults.

But he could sense that his great-grandfather and grandfather were somewhat displeased with what he had just said.

He couldn't help but clench his little fists.

Feeling aggrieved and resentful, he thought to himself: Why... Why does everyone like my sister? He disliked his sister, very much so. If only his sister didn't exist. Just like Sister Sheryl said, if he were the youngest in the family, then Dad and Mom would like him the most.

The old lady had no idea what the little guy was thinking at the moment; she assumed that her grandson was too intimidated by her husband's stern expression to speak.

She turned her head and casually asked her eldest son and daughter-in-law, "By the way, hasn't Madelyn returned yet?"

Khloe, who had been enjoying the drama, suddenly changed her expression.

She looked at her mother-in-law somewhat awkwardly.

The old lady frowned, "And Arnold didn't go to the Olson family either? What kind of behavior is this? If people find out, they'll think the Stone family is mistreating her."

Feeling embarrassed, Khloe replied, "I’ll have Arnold bring her back." She did have some grievances against this daughter-in-law. Although the fire wasn’t directly her fault, she was partly to blame. So, for a while, the old lady hadn't shown her a kind face.

Not lashing out was already her being gracious!

How could she possibly let her own son bring her back? Clearly, it was still her mistake.

But now her mother-in-law had spoken.

Moreover, if her daughter-in-law doesn’t return soon, it would indeed raise suspicions. So, despite her annoyance, she agreed to have Arnold bring her back.

The old lady got the answer she wanted and didn't press the matter further.

Then, the three households announced they would be leaving. The old lady and the old gentleman nodded faintly. Jolene hesitated for a moment, looking at her mother-in-law and asking cautiously, "What about Carson…?"

The old lady replied, "Let him sleep here tonight. He's used to sleeping here."

Jolene didn’t dare to argue and quickly nodded.

Since Carson was staying, he would naturally stay in the room he used to occupy. After the old lady spoke kindly to Carson for a while, she finally had a servant escort him back to his room. This time, Carson didn't cause any fuss, perhaps wary of his great-grandfather beside him. After casting a glance at his great-grandmother, he obediently let the servant lead him upstairs by the hand.

However, they still need to be monitored in the hospital for a while longer before going home.

Ariana agreed to this.

She was also afraid something might happen to her daughter.

When Ariana heard Lambert's question, she immediately lifted the corners of her mouth and smiled, saying, "Very good, very obedient." The baby rarely cried; most of the time, she just slept. When she woke up, her big, dark eyes would curiously look around, and then she would giggle to herself, looking extremely cute.

She was also incredibly adorable.

Seeing that Ariana's complexion was normal with no hint of paleness, Lambert's mind eased. He softly asked, "Is your lower abdomen still in pain?"

This child was born by cesarean section.

Moreover, due to the man-made fire during the operation, there was no anesthesia prepared in advance. At best, they could only give Ariana a partial anesthesia. It's hard to describe how painful it was.

At that time, he was outside the operating room, listening to the suppressed sounds of pain inside, and it felt as if his heart was being tightly squeezed in agony.

Even now, he still felt uneasy.

He still doesn't like this daughter, even though he outwardly appears to be a loving father who adores her. Deep inside, he feels indifferent toward her, even more so than with the twins. However, he has learned to be smart about it, knowing he can't show it, so he has never let Ariana notice this.

Ariana coughed slightly, "No, it doesn't hurt much anymore."

Lambert gently smoothed a strand of hair by Ariana's cheek and said, "That's good."

Ariana smiled, and her gaze was drawn once again to her adorable daughter. She winked at her daughter, who stared blankly at her mother in front of her, then blew a bubble and happily laughed to herself, making one's heart melt at the sight. Lambert watched this scene with an indifferent expression, while internally wondering when the butler would deliver dinner.

Three minutes had already passed.
