Calvin reacted and quickly covered Arya's mouth and eyes, "Don't look!"
"Woo..." Arya grunted dissatisfiedly, trying to ask her brother to let go of herself.
But Calvin didn't do it. He pulled her out of the kitchen.
Calvin also smiled at Violet and Stanley, "Mom, Dad, go on, go on!"
When he finished speaking, he closed the kitchen door.
The two children left quickly. Violet and Stanley looked at each other embarrassedly.
After a while, Violet pushed Stanley away and glared at him with a blushing face, "It's all you. We were seen by the two children."
"Never mind." Stanley helped her straighten her hair and said.
Violet got out from his arms, "Well, you can go out now. I haven't finished washing the bowls yet."
"I'll help you." Stanley said, and began to roll up the sleeves of his shirt.
Looking at his strong forearm, Violet did not refuse. She handed him a clean towel, "Wipe the water in the bowl and put it in the cupboard."
Stanley gave a hmm, indicating that he knew how to do it.
Soon, the two of them did the dishes together. It didn't take long for them to finish it.
The two walked out of the kitchen one after the other. When the two children sitting on the carpet in the living room and playing with building blocks heard footsteps, they stopped and looked towards them.
Faced with the gaze of them, Violet couldn't help but felt awkward.
"Mommy." Arya suddenly dropped the building blocks in her hand, got up, ran to Violet, took Violet's hand, and looked up at Stanley, "What were you and Dad eating just now? Brother didn’t tell me!"
She asked again. It could be seen how persistent she was with eating.
Calvin couldn't help rolling his eyes at Arya, "Foodie!"
"Arya, where is your manner?" Violet pursed her lips, glanced at him, then she lowered her head. Looking at her daughter's curious eyes, she was blushed and cleared her throat before saying, "Mommy and... Dad didn't eat anything."
When Stanley heard the word of “Dad”, he was in a good mood and smiled.
Although the two children had already called him Dad, every time she asked them to call him Uncle Murphy.
Now that she changed it, which meant that she truly accepted him.
"I don't believe it!" Arya pursed her little mouth, "You and Dad clearly..."
The little girl hadn't finished her words, but her mouth was covered by Calvin who came over again, "Well, Dad and Mommy were eating what only adults can eat, but we children can't eat it."
Arya blinked and seemed to be asking Calvin?
Calvin nodded seriously.
Violet smiled while covering her lips.
Sure enough, children were best suited to deal with children.
Arya believed Calvin, feeling disappointed.
Calvin let her go, "Let's go. There is a lollipop in the room. I will give it to you."
"Okay." Arya clapped her hands happily.
The two children went back to the children's room hand in hand.
The living room was quiet again. Violet turned and looked at Stanley, "Mr. Murphy..."
"Still call me Mr. Murphy?" Stanley raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.
Violet was stunned. Then she suddenly realized that she was already in love with him. It was indeed a bit inappropriate to call him Mr. Murphy. It was not like a couple.
But what could she call him?
Violet bit her lip for a moment, and then took a deep breath, boldly saying the word tentatively, "Stanley?"
Stanley responded with a gentle hmm.
Hearing this, Stanley was not surprised at all. He adjusted his sitting posture slowly, "It’s normal that he didn't know it. If he knew, Ivan would have already gotten the testament."
"Yes." Fraser nodded, "I asked some other questions, but he didn't answer them. He asked me to tell you that your grandfather left you some words when he was alive."
"What?" Stanley narrowed his eyes.
Fraser took a breath and said slowly, "The assistant said that if Sam and his family have been well-behaved and don't have any dissatisfaction with the Murphy Group and the Murphy family, then you don’t need to find the testament."
"What does it mean?" Stanley clenched his fists, "Is there something in the testament that can defeat Sam and his family?"
"It should be. Otherwise, I can’t explain why your grandfather left such words to you. Ivan obviously knows what is in the testament, so he wants to get it with all his might, in order to destroy it. In this way, they won’t have any worries." Fraser pushed his glasses and analyzed.
Stanley squinted and snorted coldly, "If that's the case, I must find the testament. I have to see what's in it!"
"But we currently have no clues at all." Fraser looked at him helplessly.
Stanley looked down and thought about the location where Grandpa might store the testament.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he vetoed it.
Ivan could definitely think of what he could think of. Maybe Ivan even went to check.
So, the testament must be somewhere else!
"The tea is ready." At this moment, Violet came out of the kitchen with the black tea.
Stanley gathered his thoughts and looked up, "Go back first. I will try my best to think about the clues of the testament."
"Okay." Fraser nodded.
Violet was bending over to make tea, "Fraser is leaving now? But my tea has been made."
"Thank you, Violet. I still have something to deal with, then I won't bother you and Mr. Murphy." After speaking, Fraser gave a meaningful smile and turned away.
Seeing his very ambiguous gaze, Violet blushed again.
Stanley caught a glimpse. His eyes darkened, then he glanced at his watch, "It's getting late. Go to sleep?"
