Chance thought about it. As a member of the family, he felt like he should do something for the family.
Thus, he turned around and went downstairs, asking the driver to take him to Selena’s bar.
Chance wanted to pick Aunt Selena up personally.
In the bar, Selena originally planned to stay until closing time.
However, her biological clock had been irregular. She felt a little sleepy before midnight.
Chaz asked her to go up to take a nap since there was nothing to do at this time.
Just as Selena was about to go up, she heard Chaz changing his tune.
“Don’t go upstairs. Someone came to pick you up.”
Selena subconsciously looked back.
Chance happily waved at her.
Selena’s heart softened. She smiled, and her sleepiness disappeared.
“How did you get here? Is your class over?”
Chance nodded. “Daddy was afraid that it would be unsafe for you to go back alone at night, so he asked me to get the driver to pick you up. I just tagged along. Aunt Selena, shall we go home?”
He looked up at her happily and went to hold her hand.
His crystal-clear eyes reflected the bright lights above. They looked like diamonds.
The tip of her heart moved.
Selena intended to sleep upstairs since she did not want to go back and face Eric.
However, she could not bear to refuse Chance.
She hesitated for a few seconds before she nodded.
“Alright.”
When the two of them got home, it was already late at night.
Chance leaned against Selena and fell asleep.
Selena was also too sleepy to open her eyes.
Finally, they arrived.
The driver did not want to startle them, so he reminded them in a low voice, “Ms. Nelson, we’re home.”
Selena got up in a daze. Before she could open her eyes fully, the door opened.
Eric’s figure blocked the light behind him.
His whole body was immersed in the darkness, so Selena could not see his emotions clearly.
However, it was rare that Eric would come down to pick them up in person.
Eric stared at the sleeping Chance, seemingly dissatisfied.
He was hesitating whether to wake Chance up.
Selena yawned and urged him.
“What are you still doing here? Carry him upstairs!”
Eric got rid of that thought and carried Chance stiffly.
For some reason, Eric was afraid of waking Chance up because he did not want to get scolded by Selena. Thus, he was more cautious than usual.
Fortunately, Chance was exhausted and was not so easily woken.
He leaned on his father’s shoulders and did not even change his breathing.
Selena got out of the car by herself, stretched her back, and walked in slowly.
One of the servants went to get her bag and coat. She asked in a low voice, “Do you want something to eat?”
Selena shook her head and smiled energetically.
“I’m not hungry. Go to bed. Don’t wake me up for breakfast tomorrow morning.”
The servant nodded and went back.
Selena first went to check on Chance.
Fortunately, Eric still had a conscience and did not wake him up.
Chance, who was on the bed, looked so fair, tender, and harmless. He was simply adorable.
Eric came out immediately. When he saw her, his eyes constricted.
Then, he walked out as if nothing had happened, closed the door, and looked at her with a smile.
“I thought you’d be mad at me.”
Selena raised her eyebrows. “It’s not necessary.”
