Stanley nodded and lifted his foot to walk in.
Fraser hurriedly stood up, "Mr. Murphy, then I'll go out first."
"Take Calvin and Arya out with you." Stanley ordered.
Knowing that the two had something to say, Fraser nodded in response, then took the two children out.
The door closed, leaving Violet and Stanley alone in the room.
Violet walked up to Stanley, "What's wrong, you are in a bad mood?"
Stanley did not deny it.
He was, indeed, in a bad mood right now, heavy and guilty.
"Did Kelly say something to you?" Violet asked as she pulled the man over to the bed and sat down.
Stanley rubbed his temples, "I know why my mother gave Axy to Ivan."
"Why?" Violet blinked.
Stanley looked at her, "Because she thinks of Ivan as her son, Axy was a gift from her as a mother to her son, not from an aunt to her nephew."
"What do you mean? Why did she treat Ivan as her son?" Violet was confused.
Stanley pursed his thin lips, "As I told you before, I didn't grow up with my parents when I was very young."
"Yes, I remember." Violet nodded her head.
Stanley lowered his eyes and said in a light voice, "At the age of three, I was picked up by my grandfather and left with him to be raised by him personally, and as a result, I saw very little time with my parents, and over time, although the feelings were still there, the closeness was lacking. When I was five, my grandfather arranged for me to go abroad to receive the most advanced and elite education, and from then on, I didn't return until I was fifteen. "
"That means you haven't come back in ten years?" Violet looked at him.
Stanley nodded, "That's right, back then technology wasn't as advanced as it is now, and in ten years, I didn't see my parents once except to talk to them, and even if I did, it was just a few minutes before there were no more words."
"I know, your personality does tend to chill out." Violet played with his hand.
Stanley chuckled, and soon his expression went cold again, "During those ten years, it was Ivan who was always by my parents' side."
"I understand that Ivan has been filial to your parents for ten years, and Ivan has experienced the joy of a child, so ......"
"Yes, maybe that's why my mother gave Axy to Ivan instead of me, in being a child, I'm not up to snuff." Stanley said, holding his forehead.
Violet hugged his waist, "You are indeed a bit unqualified, but there is a reason. Ivan has been with your parents for ten years, I don't believe he has no feelings for them at all, if so, why didn't he stop Sam from killing your parents? Even if he didn't know back then, he found it out later, why didn't he reveal it? He has no feelings for Sam, right!"
Stanley narrowed his eyes, "Only Ivan knows it, and I also want to know if he has my parents in his heart or not!"
"But who knows where Ivan is now?" Violet sighed.
Stanley didn't speak anymore, slightly lowering his head.
At that moment, his cell phone rang.
It was one of the group's directors who called.
Stanley let go of Violet, got up and went to the balcony and answered the phone.
Violet took the design book at the bedside, flipped it open and got ready to work. The foreign magazine party gave the singers the design, and it was about to be the due date.
Suddenly, a piece of paper fluttered out of the design book and fell just by her feet.
She bent down and picked it up; it wasn't a costume design, but a sketch of a badge.
It was the same badge that Jessie had in her hand, and after she had seen it, she came back and drew it, ready to show it to Stanley.
She did not take it out till now because of the whole Eason dying thing.
