Before Eugene could figure that out, the bodyguard spoke up. “The cleaning lady that the little bosses asked us to find has arrived.. Should we let her start now or later?”
Eugene replied, “You guys can start cleaning up after we leave.” Then, he went to knock on the sibling’s door. “How’s the discussion going?”
Once he finished speaking, the door was opened, and the Rogers siblings came out with their small school bags and a sack, which contained their changes of clothes and daily necessities. It seemed like they were done packing.
“Let’s go,” Carter said. Smiling, Eugene took the sacks from the children.
Before leaving, Carter was worried and instructed both the cleaning lady and bodyguard. “Don’t forget to lock the door once you’re done cleaning. Please try to return it to its original form as best as you can, and don’t change the arrangement and placing of my things.”
In the end, he instructed them to do a lot of things. Eugene looked at Carter and thought, How can this be a six-year-old boy? He is more detailed than a fully-grown person.
Inside the car, Eugene looked at the three cute children and felt his heart melt. Even though they would usually anger him so much that his blood boiled, it was undeniable that he was more joyful, happy, and satisfied after having the four children.
Once he was done settling this matter, he would bring them to meet his grandfather, who would be elated “Are you happy to stay over at my place?”
Carter rebuked, “Don’t get too happy about this. We haven’t decided whether to acknowledge you as our father.”
That rendered Eugene at a loss for what to do. Actually, he could sense that the Rogers siblings were slowly getting closer to him. Although they didn’t want to admit it, they stopped rejecting his concerns and his attempts to get close to them.
“When are you planning on acknowledging me?” Carter hinted at Blake with his gaze, and Blake replied, “That depends on your performance.” Eugene cracked up. “How should I perform?”
Blake answered, “First, you must treat Godmother well. Second, you’re not to speak with that woman. Third…” While speaking, he looked at his brothers and asked, “What’s the third one again?”
Carter added, “Third, you’re not to scold us.” After that, he looked toward Terry. Terry slowly added, “Fourth… We will add more later!”
At that, Eugene felt speechless and almost laughed. Terry always kept to himself, but he would render others speechless every time he spoke. The first three were at least conditions, but what did he say? They would add more later? Did that mean they weren’t finished with this?
Glancing into the rearview mirror, he looked at them affectionately. “Okay. You can observe me as long as you like.”
After he finished speaking, Alex called, and it was then that Eugene remembered Alex was still waiting for him at the Ruby Palace.
It had been two hours since their appointment, so that guy must be anxious. As he expected, he heard Alex’s voice right after answering the call. “F*ck! What are you doing? Why aren’t you here yet?”
Eugene palmed his face. “Something came up at the last minute, so I can’t make it today.” “What is it? Don’t tell me it’s accompanying Olivia.”
“No, it’s not. I really have something to do.” Alex huffed. “You’re really something. Can’t you at least tell me you weren’t coming? Why do you have to make me wait like a fool?”
“It was urgent, so I forgot to tell you.”
Alex’s voice became serious. “What happened?” “It’s all settled. I’ll tell you about it next time.” Once Eugene finished, he hung up immediately.
The Rogers siblings looked at each other, wondering if he had stood someone up because he was rushing to save them. He seemed like a good man.
