Carter replied, “Three.” Eugene felt terrified for them and he could not help but raise his voice. “How could you let three grown men into your home? What if they discovered your boobytrap and hurt any one of you?”
Although Eugene had raised his voice, the Rogers siblings knew it was out of worry, so they explained, “We’ll call the bodyguards.”
Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, Eugene patted their heads. “I was worried about you, not angry. What have I told you guys before? Look for the bodyguards if anything happens. You’re still young, so don’t go head-on with the enemy! What if you get hurt? Your godmother and I will be heartbroken.”
The Rogers siblings were very intelligent, so how could they not know Eugene was only looking out for them? Therefore, they nodded obediently.
After patting their heads, Eugene coaxed them. “I’ve already discussed this with your godmother. We’re going to move into the villa this weekend. By then, you’ll be able to live with me, your godmother, and North in one home.”
Carter exchanged glances with the other two. “Would we have a room of our own?” Eugene promised, “Of course, you would. The villa is currently being refurbished. What do you like? You can tell me, and I’ll decorate your rooms accordingly.”
The siblings looked at each other, feeling happy. “Can we go take a look?” Eugene agreed, “Sure, but you have to wait for North and go with him. It’s too late today, so why don’t you come home with me to Muse Peninsula? Your home is so wrecked. I’m not sure when it will get cleaned up.”
Carter asked, “Are we going back to Godmother’s home?” Eugene suggested, “Don’t you want to keep this from your godmother? You can stay at my house.”
At the mention of staying at Eugene’s house, the Rogers siblings felt conflicted and exchanged glances. Then, they retreated from Eugene’s arms and went into a room to discuss. Carter asked, “Should we leave with him?”
Blake added, “Are we going to acknowledge him as our father?” Carter rebuked, “What nonsense are you talking about? Why would you leave with him if you don’t acknowledge him as your father?”
Aggrieved, Blake replied, “What’s going on with Eugene and that woman, though? I’m still not ready to acknowledge him as my father.”
Carter argued, “Didn’t he say that woman previously saved him? They have nothing to do with each other.”
Blake sighed and looked toward the quiet Terry. “What are your thoughts, Terry?” Terry replied, “We go with him. We’ll observe him for a while before making any conclusions.”
In the meantime, Eugene stared at the closed door, feeling agitated and funny. These brats. They usually understand each other at a glance, yet they need such a long discussion to decide whether to stay with me.
The doorbell suddenly rang, and Eugene went to open the door. It was one of the bodyguards. “President Nolan?”
Having been with the three siblings for so long, the bodyguard knew about their relationship with Eugene, so he wasn’t shocked when he saw Eugene. Moreover, it wouldn’t make any sense if Eugene or the others didn’t appear after that incident, right?
Eugene asked, “Where did you bring those three men?” The bodyguard replied, “They have been sent to the Summer City Police Department.”
After that, Eugene nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he called the chief of the Summer City Police Department, saying that he would participate in the investigation and interrogation tomorrow.
Luckily, the three children were smart, or else the result would be unfathomable. How could someone come after them so quickly? Did someone discover they were born at the research center, or was this just a standard break-in? Or was this someone else’s revenge on him?
