What Chant meant to say was that he wanted to take his great grandchild back home.
But there was no way that was going to happen!
Cayn had already informed them this morning that he would pick Dany up after work and that Dany
was not allowed to go outside.
"Great grandfather, I want to go out, may I?"
Dany asked in a soft and compelling voice, blinking and pulling her great grandfather's sleeve.
Actually, Clifford also wanted to hang out outside with Dany, but Cayn had told him from the beginning
that there must be a reason.
"Your daddy said you couldn't go out today. He told me that he'll be picking you up after work," Clifford
said.
Hearing this, Dany's little face darkened.
"Great grandfather, but are you sure that I can't go out today? Do you really mean it?" Dany asked.
She looked so pitiful that Clifford almost agreed to her request.
"Yes! How about you give Daddy a call?"
"Never mind," Dany refused at once, biting her lower lip.
"What's up with you? Dany is just a baby. At her age, it's quite natural to go out and have fun. What's
wrong with your brain? Do you want to lock her up at home for an entire day? That's not the right
approach,"
Chant said aloud. He watched them for a few minutes and couldn't stand it at all.
"Chant, I'm telling you, don't stuff us with silly ideas! Do you think that I don't know about your plan?
You want to bring my baby out and take her back into your home, don't you? Isn't that what you want?
I am telling you, Dany is my great granddaughter, not yours!" Clifford retorted.
'Hehe!
You couldn't be more wrong!
Clifford, I really ought to tell you, that Dany is actually my great grandchild!'
Chant said inwardly. He was fully aware that he couldn't speak such things. Otherwise, it would only
result in Cayn and Clifford becoming more wary of him and thus making it much harder for him to take
Dany back home.
More than once, Chant had tried to take Dany and take her back home without Clifford noticing.
However, since Clifford had kept a close watch on Dany, he was unsuccessful. Chant had no chance
whatsoever to take Dany out.
At that hour, Chant kept wringing his hands over. It pained him to see that his great granddaughter
always stood by Clifford's side.
Chant and Clifford chatted for the whole afternoon in the room.
Although Chant couldn't make any substantial progress, it was enough for him.
'It would be better to do it in the dark!
After all, Dany is my great granddaughter!' Chant thought to himself.
"Well, it's time for me to pick up my two great grandsons. The onus is upon me to drop as well as to
pick them up from school daily. It makes me very busy!" Chant said as he took a look at his watch.
Though his words sounded like a complaint, there was an in inherent proud tone to it.
However, his words only increased Clifford's animosity. He looked at Chant with hatred, gritting his
teeth.
'What a bastard!' Clifford said inwardly.
"Dany, who is this Fabio?" Clifford asked Dany after Chant left.
Clifford thought he should figure out who Fabio was.
"Fabio is that old man's great grandson. Fabio has an older brother as well," Andy answered quickly.
"So what that old man said is true?" Clifford couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, yes!" Dany nodded in agreement.
Soon, Clifford fell into silence. His face was flustered with embarrassment.
Then he looked at Dany and was lost in thought.
At the same time, Dany was thinking about Fabio.
'Is he really my brother?
If that was the case, it turned out that I have an older brother, or maybe a sister. That's great!'
Dany thought to herself as she licked her lips.
Although Cayn had told her the same words last night, she didn't believe it.
She was half-believing and half-doubting.
After stepping out of the Mo family villa, Chant felt much relieved.
"Mr. Lu, when can we take Dany home?" Porter asked as he followed behind Chant.
"You must understand that this sort of thing can't be rushed! At least we now know where she is. If we
push them too hard, they might take he somewhere else," Chant explained.
"You are so considerate, Mr. Lu," said Porter.
After finishing the company's affairs, Andrew went home with Ashley. At the same time, Chant had
picked Fabio and Richard back home from school.
As soon as Ashley came back, she couldn't help but look expectantly at Chant.
In the morning, Chant had told her that he would go to the Mo family today to check it out. Ashley was
eager to know whether Andy was there or not.
"You don't have to worry, Ashley. I have paid a visit to the Mo family today. Dany is really living a good
life with the Mo family. What we can do now is to have a good dialogue with them. You must remember
that we can't push them too hard!" Chant told Ashley. Of course he knew that Ashley was awaiting for
the good news with great anxiety.
--
"Okay, Grandpa, I know it!"
Ashley responded calmly. She knew very well that she had no choice but to wait.
After taking a deep breath, she tried her best to dispel her anxiety.
Now, at least she had information about her daughter's whereabouts.
After dinner, Ashley received a call from Ellie, who asked her to go shopping with her.
Since Ashley's return, she had been too busy with her company's affairs and couldn't really find the
time to go out for fun or go shopping.
In truth, she liked going shopping a lot.
After receiving Ellie's call, Ashley suddenly felt that she had a lot to share with Ellie.
"Okay. Where? I'm coming!"
"Fine! It's at the place where we used to live. You can come here first. I'll wait for you here!" Ellie said
over her phone.
"Okay!"
"Ashley, where are you going?" Andrew asked aloud, suddenly.
Sitting next to her, Andrew had overheard the conversation between Ashley and Ellie.
"Ellie asked me to go shopping with her," Ashley replied.
"I'll also go with you," Andrew said, unexpectedly.
"Why do you want to follow us? We are women! You are a man! Are you willing to help us with the
things that we're going to buy?" Ashley asked in bewilderment.
"Yes, I am!" Andrew said and nodded honestly.
Upon hearing his reply, Ashley felt as if she was choking in her own saliva.
"But, you don't have to go shopping with us. You know, I'll be back soon!"
Hearing her words, Andrew looked at Ashley discontentedly.
Honestly, Ashley didn't want to go shopping with Andrew.
She missed her best friend so much. Ever since she came back to J City, she hadn't met up with Ellie.
"Is this all right?" Ashley said as she drew closer to him and kissed his cheek gently.
However, when she was about to leave, a pair of big hands held her tightly.
But after a few minutes, Andrew finally took his hands off her.
