Chapter 758
Genes were incredibly strong.
Shawn always accomplished everything he wanted to do. Joshua was the same as well.
He wanted to be the champion and gain the rewards. He wanted to be the undisputed first palace!
Aurum said, “Alright, Joshua. Focus on your studies and listen to Mrs. Zoe. I’ll send you a whole set of sports car toys tomorrow as a reward for winning the piano competition.”
“Uncle Lefting, you don’t have to send it over.”
“How are you going to get it if I don’t?”
Joshua said immediately, “I can come and get it from Sea City!”
At that moment, he revealed his true goal.
Aurum was stunned again.
It was the first time he was talking to Joshua face to face like that, so he still did not know how
Joshua was. He was constantly shocked.
“So, you said so much because you want to come to Sea City?”
Joshua nodded. “That’s right. Mommy is there, and Nicole is there. Nicole is even going through surgery. I want to go see them and keep them company, but you must know that Mommy won’t let me go there, Uncle Lefting.”
“Yes…”
Joshua said, “I want to sneak over. Uncle Lefting, can you help me?”
He tried to act cute and even played the card of speaking to Aurum like family.
“I’ve been so lonely, and I feel so cold alone at home. I keep thinking about my mommy every night. Everyone has their parents taking care of them. It’s one thing to not have a father, but even Mommy is not with me anymore.”
“No one tells me any stories. No one makes breakfast for me. I haven’t had Mommy’s food for so long.”
“Boohoo, I’m so pitiful…”
As he said that, Joshua even forced out some tears.
When Aurum saw Joshua crying, Aurum hurriedly consoled, “You’re not pitiful at all, Joshua. You’re a boy, and you have to be strong.”.
“Boohoo, men can’t cry easily, but I’m just too sad…
He even wiped the corners of his eyes and started to cry with his mouth open.
If it were Gale, she would have been able to tell that he was just acting and would have knocked him on the head.

However, it was Aurum’s first time seeing it.
He started to panic a little. “I know you miss your mother. Okay, Joshua, w-why don’t I ask Gale…”
“No!” Joshua hurriedly interrupted him. “Uncle Lefting, don’t tell her. She won’t agree to let me go. We need to get me to Sea City before you tell her!”
Aurum hesitated. “That…”
“I’ll just go for a weekend. I won’t be there for long. I’ll make sure to stay with you and listen to you. I won’t cause any trouble!”
