When Isaac came out of Marsdon's office, his expression was no longer gentle and humble. Instead, he looked so apathetic.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon. In another two hours, Chloe would be back.
Thinking of this, he felt so annoyed.
Originally, he was going to ask Hymen to arrange a car to pick her up, but... it seemed that he had to pick her up in person.
Thinking of Chloe and how clingy she was, he had been irritated before he saw her.
However, he had no choice. To be honest, he was not much different from Maxwell. Wasn't he making use of women for his own purpose?
However... he seemed to be different from Maxwell. He had told Chloe more than once that she should leave him and find someone who treated her better. However, it didn't work. No matter how coldly he treated her and how he ignored her, she was nice to him.
Ha- ha, thinking about it carefully, he didn't know what Chloe was thinking about. As a daughter of a rich family, she was bad-tempered, noble and arrogant, as if she didn't care about everything. But she was good to him. She had treated him so well for so many years.
He knew how good she was to him. However, he just didn't like her. She was beautiful and rich, and she loved him, but it didn't mean that he had to like her. He couldn't do that.
However, it was precisely because of Chloe's persistence that he felt guilty sometimes. But most of the time, he was actually a little disgusted with her.
He didn't like her, but she kept pestering him, which was... a burden to him.
He was so cold and indifferent to her, but she was getting braver and braver. Alas...
"Hey, can you remember your family's phone number now? Or, how many people are there in your family? What are their names?"
When Issac walked into the hall, a uniformed man was asking a kid who was holding his hand.
Isaac didn't pay attention to it at first. The uniformed man was talking to the child with his head down, so he didn't see Isaac.
He was walking while asking the child, and he bumped into Isaac.
"I'm sorry."
Isaac shook his head, "It's okay." As he said this, he looked down and glanced at the child next to the man.
He paused for a moment and frowned slightly.
Wasn't the kid the one he met when Verner invited him for dinner on his last business trip?
His name was Arvis, right?
Thinking of this, he was dumbfounded.
Although it hadn't been a long time, he had a lot of things to do every day, and he had only seen this child once! It was not surprising that he remembered him, but he actually remembered his name!
"Arvis?"
Hearing someone calling his name, Arvis raised his head. When he saw Isaac, he was taken aback.
Isaac thought for a moment and said to the man, "If it's convenient, can I talk to him?"
"Yeah." After saying this, the man pointed to the bench not far away. "You can have a seat there. I think he may be tired, so you can talk there. But don't take him away."
"Okay." Isaac nodded. Then, he squatted down and reached out to pinch Arvis's small face. "Arvis, shall we go there and sit for a while?" "Arvis, why did you come out?" As soon as Isaac asked this, he asked again, "Shouldn't you be in the fishing village? Did you come here with your family?"
Arvis sat on the chair and was silent for a long time before he nodded, "Yep."
"Then why did you come out alone?" Isaac reached out and rubbed Arvis's little head. "You're a child, and maybe you don't understand many things and you don't know how complicated this world is. However, I think you're a very smart child. Aren't you afraid that your family will worry about you?"
"Arvis." Isaac said patiently, "If your family members don't know where you're, they'll be very anxious." Isaac thought for a moment and then tried to reason with Arvis. He didn't treat Arvis as a child, but an adult. "If you can't find your mother, you'll be very worried, right? Similarly, if your mother can't find you, she'll be in the same mood."
"When I first saw you, I knew that you are a very smart and sensible child. You should be able to understand what I mean, right?" As he said this, he lowered his head to see Arvis.
When he saw Arvis's expression, he was stunned and became a little flustered. "Arvis, what's wrong?"
Arvis puckered his mouth, and his eyes were brimming with tears. He held his hands together very tightly. However, even so, he still felt very sad. Moreover, what Issac said just now... made him feel worse and more wronged.
"Uncle..."
"Hmm?" Isaac didn't know what to do, but he had to coax him, "Don't cry, Arvis. If you have any problem, you can tell me, okay?"
"Uncle, could you take me to find my mom?"
