"What brings you here?" When the man approached, Violet looked up at him and asked.
Stanley gave a smile, "I went to your company to pick you up, but you weren't there and I couldn't reach you, so I had Calvin check your location based on your number, and I didn't expect you to come here."
"Sorry, there's a signal block here, so the calls can't come in." Violet took out her phone and said embarrassedly.
Stanley lifted his chin, "I know, but you're here to see Talia?"
"Well, she wanted to see me, so I made a trip over here." Violet nodded.
"Do you want to go back?" Stanley asked again.
Violet nodded.
Stanley didn't ask what she had told Talia, nor was he interested. He wrapped his arm around her waist, about to walk towards the car.
Jessie suddenly called out to the two of them, "Mr. Murphy, Violet, I won't go with you guys, I won't bother you."
Stanley gave her a 'you're very sensible' look.
Violet saw it and laughed, then took the car key out of her bag and threw it over to Jessie, "Take my car and go back."
"Okay." Jessie nodded with a smile as she took the car key.
After that, Violet got into the car with Stanley and left.
On the way, Violet turned to him, "You went to my company to me, is there something wrong?"
"Well, today is the day of the old mansion's ancestor worship, so I'll take you back." Stanley said.
Violet slapped her forehead, "Bella told me last night, and I ended up forgetting, sorry, Stanley, I ......"
"It's okay, it's not really important, it's just a small ancestral festival, not a big one, in fact it's the same whether you go or not. Besides, I'm here to pick you up." Stanley replied in a soft voice.
Violet ruffled her hair, "Thanks."
"We'll just go straight to the old mansion, Calvin and Arya have already been there, and Bella and Fraser are taking care of them over there." Stanley added.
Violet nodded, indicating that she knew.
Soon, they reached the old mansion.
The two kids heard the car sound and ran straight out, pouncing on the two, "Daddy, Mommy, you're finally here."
Stanley bent down and picked up Arya, "Did you behave well?"
"Yes, I have been good and obedient. Bella told me not to run around, so I didn't, Daddy, and I good?" Arya looked at him with a smile, revealing a missing incisor, cute and funny.
Stanley kissed her on the cheek, "Yes, Arya is good."
Arya wrapped her arms around Stanley's neck and laughed happily.
After so many days, Arya had almost recovered, except for the head injury had not healed, she could already run and jump around.
This was the happiest thing that happened to Violet during this time.
"Alright, go in first." Violet took Calvin's hand and said to Stanley and Arya.
Stanley nodded, "Well, go inside."
The family of four walked towards the old mansion.
When they entered the old mansion, Bella and Fraser greeted Violet and Stanley.
Stanley sat down, "Where is that woman?"
Violet took Calvin to take his seat.
She knew that the 'that woman' he was referring to was Kelley.
Although Sam was captured, Kelley was still there.
Moreover, Stanley had checked out that Kelley hadn't done anything bad other than having an affair outside, and even less had she been involved in Sam's killing of his parents.
So Stanley didn't make things difficult for her, and just continued to keep her under house arrest in the old mansion where she couldn't get out.
He would only release her later when Sam was dead.
"In the room, I had the bodyguard take her back to the room for fear she might hurt the two children." Bella replied.
Stanley nodded slightly, "Not bad."
"Daddy, are we going to offer incense to grandparents?" At this moment, Arya suddenly asked.
