The three of them walked out side by side.
Chance also looked left and right, seemingly looking for something.
When Selena asked him, Chance answered solemnly, “I’m looking around to see if Daddy is hiding somewhere. What if he comes to pick me up?”
Selena sneered.
“Stop dreaming. Your dad is considered nice to allow you into the house. How can he come back to pick you up? I don’t even dare to think about it on your behalf!”
Chance silently lowered his head and thought, ‘Aunt Selena really understands Daddy!’
However, Chance felt a little guilty. After all, he made up this excuse and made Eric seem like a ruthless person.
He hoped that his dad would not blame him when he found out.
He only did it for Aunt Selena’s sake.
Chance thought it through. Instead of letting Selena fall in love with those unreliable men, it would be better for her to be his stepmother!
At least, Eric would provide for Selena. Even though Eric was sharp-tongued, he would not deceive Selena like other men.
That way, Chance could have a perfect stepmother.
This was the best of both worlds!
As Chance thought about it, his steps when he walked out became much lighter.
Zachary drove them back to the bar.
The bar was bustling at the moment. Selena wanted to invite Zachary in, but Chance was so sleepy that he started to rub his eyes. Thus, Selena gave up on that idea.
Zachary smiled, watched Selena go in, and drove away.
However, he did not notice a black Bentley that had also arrived not long ago, was parked quietly in the dark on the other side of the road.
Selena greeted Chaz and brought Chance up the stairs.
There was only one bedroom upstairs, so the sleeping arrangement was a problem.
There were many private rooms downstairs, but they were naturally not as comfortable as Selena’s bedroom. Selena did not want Chance to suffer.
Selena sighed. If she had known earlier, she would have renovated the upstairs area to have two rooms. At least then, there would be one more guest room.
Chance, who was next to Selena, saw Selena’s tangled expression and said sensibly, “Auntie, I’m not sleepy right now. After everyone leaves, I’ll just go downstairs and sleep there. Daddy said that I shouldn’t sleep in a girl’s room, even yours. I’m a man, so I should let you have the bed.”
Selena’s heart melted. She had never raised a child before, so she did not know that children were such cute creatures.
She smiled and stroked his hair.
“It’s okay. I remember there’s a camp bed in the warehouse. I’ll take it out later. Can you sleep on it?”
Chance nodded happily.
Selena hesitated again.
“Do you want to tell your dad that you’re here? Otherwise, he’ll get anxious if he can’t find you like the last time.”
Chance hesitated for a few seconds before he nodded.
“I’ll call him!”
Selena was glad to hear this.
After all, she did not want to talk to Eric.
Selena still remembered that $10 million check, so she always reminded herself to avoid that man.
Chance took out his smartwatch, found Eric’s phone number, said a few words, and hung up.
Selena did not have the habit of listening to other people’s phone calls, so she went to the warehouse to find the unused camp bed.
She clearly remembered that it was there, but she could not find it.
When she went back to her bedroom, Chance was already standing at the door.
She paused, and Chance smiled and said, “Auntie, Daddy has forgiven me. He said he would come to pick me up.”
Selena froze for a moment. She was a little shocked.
When did Eric change his temperament? How could he calm down so quickly?
A man’s heart was unfathomable.
