“When I saw the video, Georgia, I was terrified. I’ve been making leaps and bounds in physical therapy recently, Georgia, and flying back isn’t an issue. How about I come back to the country over a few days so we don’t have to have this time gap to bother with.”
As Casey said that, Robert apologized alongside.
“Mom, Georgia and I will be coming to you in a few days. No need to come back to the country for now. We’ve still got two bits of business to deal with, and after we’re done, we’ll come over to visit you. We’ve got some things to resolve over there too. When we’re finished, Georgia and I will take you back to the country. We’ll be taking the kids with us to see you too. Just wait there for us.”
Casey couldn’t help but show an expression of joy at those words.
She actually really wanted to be back with her daughter. Twenty years apart had left her feeling like she had a lot to make up for to her, and she wanted to go and be with her daughter right away.
Her body didn’t let her, and she could only put up with it.
Hearing that her daughter and son-in-law were coming over, she suddenly felt that the boring physical therapy wasn’t so unbearable anymore.
After chatting for a while, Casey got a bit tired and prepared to get back and rest.
It was dark outside, and the butler came over to tell Robert and Georgia that dinner was ready. The kids were waiting for them in the dining room.
The two walked out of the bedroom and got ready to go downstairs on eat.
The video call wasn’t cut off, though.
After Emilia took Casey to bed, she turned to Georgia.
“How’s my cousin doing? His parents should be in the country right now with him. You’ve seen them, right?”
Georgia smiled and nodded.
“I’ve seen aunt and uncle. They were gentle to me, and with Aston, his mood is normal at times and abnormal at others. Maybe his heartbreak was too severe. It might take a while before he gets back to normal. I’ve been communicating with him on research and experimentation, though, and he’s getting back on track.”
Georgia also talked about how Aston had made a girlfriend, and it was Anaya of all people.
Of course, Georgia also briefly explained Anaya’s identity and experiences.
“My cousin is just too simple when it comes to emotions, so he’ll put everything into loving a woman. Now that he’s been abandoned, he’s just getting more set on his path. Ignore him. Let the world kick him around a bit and he’ll turn normal again.
“I’m just worried about one thing. I saw Kayden over here a couple days ago, and she ran away when she saw me. I want Kayden to just disappear from our world, just in case Aston sees her again and goes full bananas.”
“You saw Kayden over where you’re at?”
Georgia thought of seeing Kayden in the country before. What was this woman up to? Georgia’s heart was full of all sorts of speculation.
“Yeah, I can be sure that I saw her and that she saw me. She jogged away like I was going to chase her. I never want to see her again.”
“That Kayden seems to be working for some people on dangerous things right now. Ignore her, but if you see her again or see her in contact with some mysterious people, can you snap a picture for me? You might not bump into her by coincidence again, but it’s important to me to find out what Kayden is doing in secret.”
“Why are you suddenly concerned about Kayden?”
Emilia asked curiously, and Georgia had to explain.
“The people behind Kayden are trying to steal business from my company, and their methods are pretty dirty. I have to check and see who they are. If you really do see her talking to someone, I could start investigating from there.”
“Okay, I’ve got it.”
Emilia promised, and Georgia hung up, heading to the dining room.
The dining room was full of laughter, and the kids were chattering away. Georgia also saw a white-haired old man.
She’d guessed at the man’s identity. Vincent Poole.
“Hi, Mr. Poole, I’m Robert’s wife, Georgia Lane.”
Georgia greeted him politely, then pulled up a chair and sat next to Robert.
Vincent nodded and smiled.
“You’re pretty lucky, kid. Getting such a pretty wife and having such cute children. You’re luckier than your father.”
At that praise, Georgia couldn’t help but blush, while Robert thanked him honestly.
“I really am lucky to marry such a beautiful and capable wife. Who knows how many men are jealous of me.”
“Could you shut up a bit?”
Georgia kicked at Robert’s foot, keeping her voice low. Robert smiled and didn’t say anything.
Wesley chimed in.
