Chapter 26
Stanley would only allow people he could trust to stay by his side. Therefore, it showed that he truly valued family.
For the kids, he was willing to bring Melinda back to Emerald Harbor before finding out everything.
“Let’s go back to Sunnyvale, Mommy! I want to see Becca and Jaxon!”
“I want to go back too, Mommy! I’ve packed up my stuff!
Melinda saw the kids coming downstairs cheerfully and pleading with her.
Since the weather was lovely that day, she decided to go back to Sunnyvale. They had left the village in a hurry back then, so they didn’t manage to bid the neighbors farewell.
“Do you need to use the car, Madam?”
“There’s no need for that. I’ll take a cab. We’d better keep a low profile.”
In the afternoon, the fixed phone in the living room of Emerald Harbor started ringing. Gael picked it up and said, “Hello, Mr. Fox.”
“What are the kids doing? Have they had lunch? Stanley asked caringly despite his busy schedule,
Gael replied, “Madam has brought the kids back to Sunnyvale to visit some old friends. They didn’t have lunch at home.”
“What?” Stanley questioned coldly. “Did you just say they’ve returned to Sunnyvale?”
“Yes.”
A moment later, Melinda, who was cleaning the herbs with Jaxon, heard her phone ringing.
She fished it out and realized it was Stanley.
“Let me answer this call.”
The moment the call connected, the man questioned, “Who told you to bring the kids back to Sunnyvale? If anything happens, who will be responsible for it?”
“They’ve been with me for six years, and nothing serious has ever happened. So, what if I’ve brought them back to Sunnyvale?” novelxo.com fast update
“It’s different now,” Stanley refuted. “Everyone knows that they’re my kids. Are you sure you’ve considered all the uncertainties?”
At that, she was rendered speechless.
“Just stay right there. I’ve asked some people to pick you up. From now on, you can’t take them away again without my permission!”
“Hey, they’re my kids too!”
Just as Melinda was ready to retort, the man hung up the call.
A while later, a luxury car entered the village and stopped in front of the house. When the door was opened, Gael emerged from the vehicle.
“Mr. Fox instructed me to bring you and the kids back, Madam,” Gael said respectfully.
Perhaps he was worried the woman might resist, so he had brought several bodyguards with him.
With that, Melinda and the kids bid Jaxon farewell and entered the car.
“Ms. Melinda.” Jaxon appeared reluctant to part ways with her. It seems that her life is terrible now. She doesn’t even have an ounce of freedom.
Melinda smiled and ruffled his hair. “I’ll come back again tomorrow. I’m only sending them back now.”
“Will you be able to come back again?” Jaxon asked worriedly.
“Yes.” novelbin
On their way back, Melinda gave it some thought and turned to look at Gael. “Is he mad at me?”
“Mr. Fox is just worried about your safety.” Gael hoped that she could understand Stanley’s concerns. “Samuel and Pamela are important, so they need bodyguards by their side all the time. Also, we need to inform Mr. Fox whenever they head out.”
While Melinda was speechless, the older man went on to say, “Mr. Fox just wants to ensure that the kids won’t fall into danger.”
The car pulled up in the yard of Emerald Harbor.
When Melinda got out of the vehicle, she saw the man’s Lamborghini in the distance. Is he back already?
The moment she stepped into the living room, she found the atmosphere distressing.
Stanley crossed his legs as he sat on the couch. He stared at the woman with his eagle–like eyes as though she had done something unforgivable.
Noticing the man’s fury, Sherry quickly brought the kids upstairs.
Melinda stood in the living room and looked at the man calmly. Is it even necessary for him to come back from work and deal with such a small matter?
“Your action was putting all of you at risk.” Stanley was displeased as he glowered at her. “Have you realized that?”
Melinda replied, “I don’t think so. The kids grew up in Sunnyvale. They’ve been staying there for six years, so it’s not a dangerous place. It’s only natural that we wanted to bid our friends farewell.”
Stanley rose from the couch and glared at her with a gloomy expression.
Refusing to argue with the man, Melinda said, “I know what you mean. I’ll be careful from now on.”
“That’s not what I’m asking of you,” he refuted. “I want you to make sure it won’t happen again.”
She fell silent at that.
Meanwhile, Stanley stared fixedly at the woman and approached her. “Do you understand?”
