"Sir!" Arvis ran over with his short legs and looked so happy, "Are you here to see me?"
Isaac chuckled, "Yeah."
Arvis stopped smiling and said in a serious tone, "Sir, you can come to see me at noon or evening next time. I'm in class right now."
"Are you angry?"
"No." Arvis shook his head, "I'm very glad, and the class is over now. I can't play with you for a long time since you come here at this time."
Isaac touched his hair, "Good boy."
"But sir, why don't you want me to tell my uncle and Granny Aria that you're here to see me? You said this that day."
Looking at Arvis's confused face, Issac said, "Because..."
He didn't know how to explain to Arvis at the moment. Arvis waited for a while and said, "Sir, forget it since you can't answer me. I will keep it a secret. You said that this is our secret."
Isaac smiled and his heart softened, "Yeah."
"Sir, you don't talk so much today. Are you unhappy?"
Looking at Arvis who tilted his head and looked innocent and lovely, Isaac felt melancholic and grieved. Arvis was his son, and he was very sensible at such a young age. He had never accompanied him. When he knew about his existence, he wanted to live with him, give him a comfortable life and accompany him, but he was so helpless.
Perhaps, a person like him was really not worthy of being happy.
"Yeah, I have some problems and I haven't found a good way to solve them, so I'm not very happy."
He looked at Arvis and estimated when he should go to the class. After a second of hesitation, he said, "Arvis, I'm a little upset. Can you... hug me? Well... just regard me as your good friend."
The moment he said this, he felt that he was more pitiful.
He wanted to hold his son, but he had to tell such a lie.
However, Arvis might leave with Adele soon, and maybe they could never see each other again...
Arvis was just a child, and he liked Issac very much, so he spread his arms without hesitation. Isaac was squatting in front of him, so he put his arms around Isaac's neck easily.
After a few seconds, he felt that it did not seem to be enough to comfort Issac. Then he raised his hand and patted Isaac's back gently.
His hand was small and his strength was not great, but Isaac's heart melted.
Isaac's eyes were brimming with tears as he reached out and held Arvis tightly in his arms. He put his head on Arvis's shoulder, and he was really unwilling to leave him. If he could, he only wanted to hold him forever. If he could, he could use everything he had to exchange for Arvis.
"In the future, listen to your mom. If one day, you have a new... father... don't forget me."
Leola went to the market as usual.
Adele was alone in the house, packing up her things.
Yes, she decided to leave.
She had been here for so long, and it was the first time she went to his study. When she saw the two things, she believed what Lucho and Madelyn said at that time.
Adele frowned and wanted to laugh. He was really a man of his word. Was he going to give her money so that she could live a carefree life in the future?
However...
She pushed the card back, "Please tell Mr. Bai that I don't need it."
The man seemed to have known that she would do this, so he said, "Miss Alaina, Mr. Bai said that you can choose not to accept it, but he may change his mind and let you stay here."
Adele frowned. Why was Issac so strange? He not only gave her freedom, but also gave her money. But she couldn't feel happy at all.
Seeing that she did not speak, the man pushed the documents pouches to her, "Miss Alaina, here are Mr. Bai's real estates. These houses are not in A City, but the location and environment is quite good. Their market value will continue to rise. Mr. Bai said that you can..."
"What else did he say?" Adele tried to suppress the panic in her heart and interrupted the man with a loud voice, "I don't want much. I just want to leave here. Why did he give me these? Even if it's compensation, it's too much!"
There were a dozen documents pouches on the table...
She roughly knew how much money he had three years ago. She didn't know how much money he had earned in the past three years, but why did he want to give her the bank card and the real estates?
If he had known her true identity, based on his performance these days, what he said by the river, as well as the two things in the study, it was impossible for him to let her go. If he didn't know her identity, wasn't it... too strange for him to treat her like this?
He had given her everything and suddenly let her leave as if he had waken up to reality. If she was someone else, she might feel that she was lucky, but she was Adele. What he had done made her so uneasy.
"I'm sorry. I can't and I don't dare to take it."
"Miss Alaina, Mr. Bai asked me to tell you something..."
