It was then Natalie also realized that Matteo had a pair of attractive eyes that looked like a crescent moon.
“What are you staring at me for? I’m not going to eat you.” Matteo had no idea why she was staring at him.
He thought she was afraid of him again since she had been staring at him after he carried her.
The moment he finished speaking, she immediately hid her head in his embrace as though she was a kitten that had done something wrong.
Kids sure are hard to take care of. Matteo sighed.
He brought her to a supermarket and let her pick what she wanted to eat.
Natalie was finally smiling again as she sat inside the cart. Matteo pushed her around while getting the food and even toys that she wanted.
“I want this! That one too! And that one! I want it! Buy it for me, Big Tiger…” She got so excited that she accidentally called him that.
Matteo was speechless. I’m a big tiger? When do I look like one? I’m clearly a knight in shining armor, given how handsome and cheerful I am.
Thereafter, he returned to the apartment with a bag full of snacks and toys in one hand while carrying a six-year- old girl on the other arm.
“Oh goodness! You two are finally back!” When the others saw them after waiting inside the apartment for the entire night, they let out a sigh of relief.
They were glad the child had finally been found.
The next day, in order to prevent any accidents from happening again, Matteo and Vivian brought Natalie back to Jadeborough to hand her to Sasha.
As for the others…
“I’m going back to the company,” Ian uttered emotionlessly as he watered the flowers on the balcony.
Kurt nodded. “I’ll help you bring your things over there. Once it’s done, we’ll return to Jadeborough.”
It was a perfect excuse that innocent Vivian didn’t find suspicious.
After everyone’s destination was set, the next was Susan and his brother. Whenever summer vacation arrived, both of them would take up part-time jobs.
However, the situation was different that year.
“I’m., also going to Hayes Corporation with Ian. I passed my internship interview,” Susan announced.
Vivian was happy when she heard that. “Really? It’s great that you’re going there! Let me tell you something, Aunt Susan. With your talents, you’re going to have a good
time working at a big company like that! Don’t worry. Daddy will definitely give you special treatment!”
She even mentioned her father, as she was certain he would treat his relatives nicely.
However, in reality, would Sebastian really do that?
Susan didn’t think about it that much, nor was she looking forward to it happening. After all, she was already glad that she could make it into Hayes Corporation.
She turned to the balcony.
To her surprise, the teenager watering plants on the balcony didn’t seem happy to hear the news. He simply continued to water the plants emotionlessly.
Her smile froze.
Buzz… Buzz…
Suddenly, her phone on the table rang.
“Hello?” she answered the call.
“Hello, is this Ms. Susan Jadeson? We’re the police, and we’re currently in the hospital. Do you have time to come over? Yasmin wants to meet you.”
She was taken aback when she realized it was the police calling her and that Yasmin wanted to meet her.
Why does she want to see me?
She quickly tidied things up, grabbed her bag, and went straight to the hospital.
Truthfully, she only knew what was going on with Yasmin after Yasmin had been sent to the hospital and the matter had concluded.
When she learned that the people who wanted to hurt her and her brother had been captured, she had to admit that a huge wave of relief washed over her.
She could finally stop worrying about someone trying to kill her and her brother.
However, none of that told her why Yasmin wanted to meet her.
She arrived at the hospital with suspicions. The moment she did, she saw a young woman sitting inside a ward illuminated brightly by sunlight.
Yasmin still looked pretty even in her changed clothing.
She was basking in the sunlight and staring out the window, allowing the golden rays of light to make her look even more charming.
“You’re here?” Her head didn’t turn when she heard Susan walking in.
Susan slowly approached Yasmin, put her bag down from her shoulder, and stared at the latter.
“Look at how beautiful the sun is today. I suppose I should be grateful that I can see such dazzling sunlight before I go to prison.”
“You’re still young. There are many more wonderful days waiting for you in the future,” Susan comforted, not knowing what else to say.
After all, it wasn’t a death sentence, nor was it lifetime imprisonment.
Yasmin smiled.
It was a genuine, liberating smile.
“Yes, I suppose so. What about you? Have you thought about what to do?”
“Me?” Susan was taken aback, not understanding what Yasmin meant. “What should I be doing?”
“Aren’t you going to be with Ian? Or do you plan to stay as her Aunt Susan?” Yasmin finally turned her head and gazed at Susan calmly.
It was as though a bomb had exploded in Susan’s mind. Is she crazy?
