Aileen feels like she is going crazy at this moment. Why does it seem like her brother is everywhere?
“Well just forgive me. I promise never to make the same mistake again, and I promise I will take you to dinner and have fun.”
Aileen feels that she could only apologize now, because she couldn't offend these three children. After all, she wants them to keep her secret for her, and if her brother finds out about tonight's events, she might be shredded to pieces.
“What are we going to eat and where are we going to have fun?” When Joey hears what Aileen said, she gets really excited.
“Joey, will you stand firm on your position?” Ben looks at Joey with some regret.
Joey listens to Ben, and she keeps her head down.
Aileen is shocked, thinking Ben is a great leader and Joey is all over him.
“We always get to eat good food. I'll only consider not telling Mom and Dad about today if my aunt tells us where to have fun.” Ben already figures out what his aunt is thinking.
Oh, my God! Ben is a mind reader. He seems to know what she is thinking. Aileen suddenly admires these children at this moment, as she feels subdued by them. It seems that pleasing them isn't an easy task anymore.
“I owe you guys a favor. In the future, I'll promise you anything you ask me to do.” Aileen, after thinking hard for a while, finally comes up with such a good idea.
“Are you telling the truth?” Joey becomes more excited at the moment.
Aileen nods. “Of course it is true.”
“Then I want to go to the amusement park.” Joey's mind is filled with amusement parks.
Andre is obviously not very interested in Aileen's promise, so he looks out of the window, but Ben doesn't hesitate to say. “Okay, just remember that you own us a favor.”
Wow! Aileen has to look at Ben with her eyes wide open. She is really impressed with him, because his scheme is so clever.
“All right.” Aileen has to promise because she wants these kids to help her keep secrets.
It is not long before the car stops, and Aileen takes the children out of the car. As soon as she gets into the living room, she sees a murderous face in front of her.
“Old lady, you are here to scare the hell out of me.” Seeing Carmen's scary face, Aileen thinks she is really scared out of her wits, so she strokes her chest desperately to calm down.
Then the old woman's eyes rest on children behind Aileen, and she suddenly changes her expression, and she says in a worried tone, “Where the hell have you boys been?”
“Aunt took us out to play...” Ben says to Carmen with a smile.
“Next time you go out, tell me in advance, or I will be worried.” Carmen says in a most indulgent way, “It is getting late now. You guys need to take a bath and rest.”
After that, Carmen hurries the children back to their room.
Aileen stretches out at this point. She is stopped by Carmen when she is about to go back to her room.
