Jaime breathed a sigh of relief, then slumped back into his chair. He was freaked out, all because of someone else's problems.
"Jaime, you wouldn't..." Ivy continued.
"Yes!" Jaime interjected, "I'll treat you better in the future, just you wait!"
"Alright!" Ivy nodded, "I need to discuss with mom and dad about adopting Liam."
"What?" Jaime was still processing when Ivy hung up the phone and handed it back to Rosalynn.
"Adopt?" Rosalynn looked at Ivy surprisingly, "Where did you hear that word?"
"Some kids in my class were adopted!" Ivy replied, "Mom, we need to punish the bad guys and give Liam a home!"
Wayne felt a bit puzzled hearing this.
"Honey, we need Liam's permission before we can talk about adoption." Rosalynn seriously told Ivy.
"I'll talk to him!" Ivy patted her chest, looking absolutely confident.
After that, they left the school. As they were heading towards their car, someone shouted out loud.
The previously smiling couple's expressions instantly froze, and the man's face turned grim. He retorted, "How can this child talk such nonsense?"
Wayne responded with a cold tone, lifting Ivy in his arms and fixing a piercing gaze on the couple. "Who do you think you're speaking to?"
Panicking, the woman waved her hands hastily. "It's just a misunderstanding! Mr. Silverman, you came to the school to meet Liam, didn't you?"
"Wayne, you take Ivy to the car first, I'll handle this." Rosalynn gently patted Wayne's back. Wayne was always straightforward in dealing with such matters, while Rosalynn was thinking of resolving the issue without bloodshed, but permanently.
"Okay." Wayne agreed and then took Ivy to the car.
