After knowing that the boy did not have any bad intentions, Gregory finally stepped aside.
Audrey handed him the lollipop again with a cheerful smile. “Thank you so much! Now you can eat the candy! This is my favorite candy! It’s really yummy!”
This time, the boy did not reject and took it at once.
Audrey’s smile widened as the boy held the lollipop in his hand.
At the same time, Ashton made a decision and announced, “Let all of them stay and give them financial aid under Madam’s name till they grow up.
Ashton turned to look at Gregory and instructed, “Gregory, bring your sister over here.”
When both of them were in front of Ashton, Gregory said respectfully, “Daddy, I’ve brought Audrey back.”
“Good,” Ashton nodded and turned to look at Audrey. “Next time, never ever approach any strangers without your Mommy and my permission. Can you promise me that?” Ashton asked sternly.
There was only the usual intimidating indifference on his cold, expressionless face.
Audrey could sense the displeasure in Ashton’s tone. Instead of refuting as usual, she nodded obediently and replied softly, “Alright, Daddy.”
“Let’s go home now,” Ashton said again.
Next, he turned to face us and prepared to leave, letting both Gregory and Audrey walk in front of him.
Gregory obeyed Ashton’s instructions as usual and stepped out at once, with Audrey trailing closely behind him.
After walking forward for two steps, Audrey came to a stop abruptly. She turned to look at the little boy and was reluctant to move forward.
Ashton followed her gaze and knew at once about what was playing in her mind. After pondering for a while, he lowered his head and asked her, “You want to bring him home as well?”
Pouting her lips, her forehead creased into a frown as she gazed at the boy with a look of sympathy. She gulped and said softly, “He’s so thin. If he continues to stay here, he will starve. Aunt Emma ever mentioned that the children in the orphanage are the most pitiful. I just feel like helping him…”
