Chapter 696 Replacing Jessie
"Daddy, where's Mommy?" Only then did Calvin remember that he hadn't seen Violet yet, and extended his little head out to keep looking behind Stanley.
Stanley stood up, "Mommy is washing up."
When he finished, he pulled a child back into the room with one hand.
Both he and Violet were too tired and sleepy last night, and nothing happened, or he wouldn't have even come in with the two kids now.
Violet was washing up in the bathroom and had just finished brushing her teeth when she saw the two cute little ones appear at the bathroom door and were smiling sweetly towards her. Violet walked over and said in mock surprise, "Whose two cuties are these, why are you coming to my house?"
Arya giggled, "I'm Daddy's and Mommy's."
"Oh? Then who's your Daddy and Mommy and what are their names?" Violet asked, scratching her little nose. Arya blinked her big eyes in thought and replied, "My Mommy's name is Violet Hunt and my Daddy's name is Stan She didn't know anymore, how she couldn't remember? She pouted, her eyes with tears, cute and pitiful. "Sorry, Mommy, I forgot Daddy's name."
Stan......
"
"Stupid." Calvin sighed, then said like a small adult, "You remember, Arya, Daddy's name is Stanley Murphy."
"Stanley Murphy?" Arya repeated with a cocked head.
Calvin nodded, "That's right."
Arya recited Stanley's name twice, then said happily, "Mommy, now I know what Daddy's name is, Daddy's name is Stanley Murphy."
"That's good, Arya is awesome!" Violet smiled and rubbed the little girl's hair.
The little girl stroked her little head and asked, "Mommy, just now I couldn't answer Daddy's name, am I a bad girl?"
"Why do you say that?" Violet asked in surprise.
She obviously didn't expect the little girl to ask such a question.
Arya pouted, "Because the teacher said that all the kids have to remember their Daddy's and Mommy's names or else they won't be able to answer when someone asks, and I just didn't answer Daddy's name, so am I a bag girl? All the other kindergarteners can answer it."
"So that's case." Violet chuckled, "Arya, you are not a bad girl, it's not your fault, blame Daddy, Daddy's name is too hard to remember, it is too complicated."
She didn't mean to coax the child, but it really wasn't easy for a four-year-old to remember Stanley's name.
And it was usual for kids to have bad memories and forget them in the blink of an eye.
Not all children, after all, were as intelligent as Calvin.
"That's right, blame daddy." Calvin nodded his head to agree with Violet's words.
Stanley walked over just in time to hear this and couldn't help but tweak his eyebrows, "Blame me for what?"
Violet smiled and said what she had just said.
After hearing this, Stanley stroked the little girl's head, "Mommy is right, blame me."
"I don't blame Daddy." Arya shook her head, "It's that I am too young to remember it, not to blame Daddy's name.
Stanley raised his eyebrows, clearly not expecting the little girl to say so, he was comforting and surprising.
Sure enough, it was his kid.
Violet was also surprised, but then smiled, "Okay, okay, just don't blame it, Calvin, take your sister outside to play, Daddy and Mommy haven't finished washing up yet, so we'll come out to keep you guys company after we're done."
"Okay." Calvin nodded and pulled Arya away.
Stanley walked into the bathroom, "Arya grows up quite a bit."
"Yeah." Violet nodded.
Stanley picked up his electric toothbrush, "Maybe it's the recent series of events that made Arya grow up."
He disappeared recently, and then Violet disappeared later.
When he disappeared, Violet only brought Calvin back to the country in order to find him, while Arya was left alone abroad.
And when Violet disappeared, Arya wasn't left alone and Calvin was with her, but to Arya, they were leaving her behind for the second time.
From what Linda and Jessie had said, during the time the couple had been missing continuously, Arya had woken up several times in the middle of the night with nightmares and cried several times, but had never told them whenever they spoke to them.
They felt sorry for Arya.
"We owe Arya too much." Stanley brushed his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Yes, more than we owe Calvin."
Violet looked at herself in the mirror and said in shame, "Yeah."
"More than that, because of our previous feud with Ivy, it nearly cost Arya's life." Stanley gripped his toothbrush tightly.
Violet's eyes reddened slightly, "So in the future, we have to make up for Arya."
"Of course." Stanley nodded.
He would spoil Arya, and as long as Arya didn't make mistakes of principle, he, as a father, would stand up for her no matter what Arya did.
Of course, even if he didn't owe Arya anything, he'd still do it.
After washing up, the couple cleaned up and headed out of the room and downstairs.
The two kids sat on the couch in the living room and got together, muttering something.
When they saw Violet and Stanley coming down, they stopped talking and were mysterious.
Violet asked them, and they even changed the subject straight away, running hand in hand towards the dining room.
Violet walked behind with Stanley.
She twisted her head to look at Stanley, "These two kids must be planning something."
Stanley smiled, "I know, let them be, since it's their secret, we, as parents, should respect it."
"That's for sure, although curious, I won't force them to say anything if they don't." Violet shrugged her shoulders.
After lunch, the two played with their two children for a while before heading out to their respective groups and companies.
When Violet arrived at the company, the assistant held a pile of designs that needed to be processed and gave them to her, "Miss Hunt, these are the designs that need your review, and the factory department is already urging them."
"Okay, put it away, I'll read it later." Violet said with a smile.
The assistant put the design down and added, "Right, Miss Hunt, do we need to promote or recruit a director to take over Jessie's job?"Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"What?" Hearing this, Violet's brows furrowed for a moment, "What did you just say? Take over the job of Jessie?"
"Yeah." The assistant nodded.
Violet was confused, "Who told you to recruit a director to take over Jessie's job?"
This meant that she wanted to find a director to replace Jessie and vacant Jessie's position in the company.
This would make Jessie with no real power other than owning shares.
So now she was suspicious of who was actually spreading such words in the company, what if Jessie found out about it and Jessie misunderstood that she meant it?
Even if Jessie believed that this was not her intention, but she would worry about whether she really wanted to do so in the future, after all, in reality, the friends business would part the two away because of different ideas and different interests.
And part of that was being provoked.
So now she wondered if someone was purposely stirring up her relationship with Jessie and that was why they spread such rumors.
Looking at Violet's blackened expression, the assistant knew that she had caused trouble and made Violet angry, so she lowered her head and explained, "No, no, no one told me, I guessed it myself." "You guessed that?" Violet's red lips pursed into a straight line, "Why did you have that guess?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
