Chapter 1034 I Will Treat You Well
“Didn’t we hire a nanny? Besides, we also have an automatic washing machine. Why are you washing your clothes by hand?” When Alex crouched down to help Stanley up, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that his clothes were also in the basin.
Stanley hugged Alex’s leg after shaking the water off his hands. However, he could not stop the tears from falling down his cheeks.
So much had happened to him that day, from feeling aggrieved and frightened to almost being sold. When he saw that his beloved father had returned, he immediately burst into tears.
“What’s the matter? Did someone bully you? Don’t cry, Stanley. Tell me what’s wrong. I’ll handle it for you. Or are you mad that I broke my promise?” Alex stroked his son’s head with a pained expression on his face.
“Don’t leave from now on, Daddy. Stay with me, okay? I don’t want to stay at home by myself. I’m scared.” Stanley gave his father a pleading look.
He did not dare to tell his father what had happened that day for fear that Kate would sell him to that place. If it came to that, his limbs would be severed like those children, and he would be forced to beg on the streets.

Despite his question, the little boy still kept his head down and remained silent. He kept shaking his head but would not explain why he was washing the clothes by hand.
Alex’s frown deepened. He grabbed Stanley’s shoulder and asked in a low voice, “You can’t even trust your daddy now, Stanley? You won’t tell me anything anymore?”
“No, that’s not it.” Stanley shook his head frantically, his tears falling. He desperately wanted to tell his father everything and let him drive Kate away.
Finally, he clenched his fists, gave Alex an aggrieved look, and said through his tears, “Daddy, I don’t want to stay in this house anymore. I hate-”
Before Stanley could finish speaking, the bathroom door was abruptly opened by none other than Kate.
“I’m so sorry, Stanley. It’s all my fault. I’ve just taught Winona a lesson. This kind of thing won’t happen again.
Kate approached Stanley and drew him into her arms, looking like a loving mother who felt sorry for her
son.
After letting out a sigh, she faced Alex with a remorseful look. “I’m sorry, Alex. I hired a random nanny without checking her character. I looked after Emma during the day and neglected Stanley. I can’t believe
