"As long as it''s not someone like Michelle," I said,ughing with a hint of distress. "You have no idea! She''s been blocking me downstairs daily, and I have no clue what she''s up to."


    "Michelle does give off a vibe to avoid. You better keep your distance. Having her fixate on you can''t lead to anything good."


    With that, Theo stood up. "Chloe, I''ll take my leave. Call me when you''re back, and I''ll arrange everything. Don''t worry, they''re all proper people."


    "Are you really leaving?" I reluctantly stood up, feeling a bit unfulfilled.


    Theo replied, "We''ll have a proper chat when you''re back. I won''t waste your work time."


    I escorted him to the elevator, and we agreed to meet again when he returned to the capital. It seemed that Theo was indeed a person who got things done, was straightforward, and had depth. After seeing Theo off, I called in Carol to ask about Michelle''s visit in the morning.


    Carol confirmed that she dide to visit thepany. She stayed until everyone went for lunch, and only then did she leave.


    I was certain she had another motive for seeking me out.


    In the evening, returning to Pleca Park, Ava noticed my early return and rushed over. "Mommy, you came back so early! Did you take my advice?"This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    I almost burst outughing. Take her advice? This kid was bing quite clever.


    Nevertheless, I nodded in agreement. "Yes! My daughter knows best. Of course, I should listen."


    She became even more pleased with herself, ncing at As. "Daddy, good job to you, too!"


    As put on a meek appearance. "Yes, I''ll strive for your praise every day from now on."


    She was instantly delighted, her eyes sparkling.


    Looking up at As, she asked, "Daddy, do you want to go see Grandpa''s trees with us?"


    Hearing her words, I realized it had been a long time since Ist saw my dad.


    Our schedules never seemed to align. By the time I woke up in the morning, he was already in the garden. When I returned home for dinner, he had already retired for the


    night. We always missed each other.


    I told Ava, "After I go upstairs to change clothes, we''ll see Grandpa. Is that okay?"


    Ava immediately agreed. "I''ll follow you to change."


    She asked As, "Daddy, do you want toe with us?"


    The sweet way she called him "Daddy" was so melodious.


    "Sure!" As readily agreed. "But I need to change clothes too, right?"


    Ava, excitedly yelling for Jenny, ran to the kitchen. I saw her disappearing figure and said to As, "It seems like she''s grown taller again." "That''s natural, and she''s more lively now."


    He was right. After the divorce from


    Matthew, she used to be


    absent-minded and gloomy.


    Especially during the kidnappin


    she waspletely changed. We could only get her to sleep holding her.

    Ava would not be as healthy and active now if As had not consoled her, brought her to Celestis Ind, and brought Jenny in.


    I held As''s hand and looked up at him sincerely. "It''s all thanks to you."


    "Both of you are my treasures." He squeezed my hand and smiled, leading me upstairs. "Come on, don''t keep her waiting."


    After changing our clothes, the two little ones had already run upstairs, shouting through the corridor.


    This mansion would truly be lively if we added two more.


    At that moment, my face involuntarily turned red. But having a child for him was a must. He loved children so much. I couldn''t let him down.


    Seeing me lost in thought, blushing, he hugged me from behind. "What are you thinking? Your face is all red."


    I looked at him and said, "I''m thinking about having a baby! If we have two more, it''ll be even more lively."


    "Then I''ll work hard for it." After


    saying this, he kissed me, and I


    quickly pushed him away. The\


    children''s voices were so close now. He had to control himself,
