Chapter 894: Chapter 920: Don’t Let Me Die (6)
It seems—
After the trouble with the Myres Family, the only thing unchanged is this little girl.
Thinking of this, Mia Ginger raised her eyes and asked Louis Cox, "When did you bring Maeve back?"
"Not long ago."
"Last time I met President Ward, he said he would keep taking care of Maeve. A man’s words truly are unreliable." Mia Ginger raised a hand to ruffle Maeve’s hair, mumbling jokingly.
Maeve raised her big eyes to look at her and said, "Uncle Ward is going to take care of me for life, but he just got sick recently, so I came back with my uncle."
Mia Ginger: "..."
"Sister Mia, you don’t believe me. Uncle Ward is really sick." Maeve emphasized.
Mia Ginger smiled and looked at Louis Cox, "You seem to have lost favor."
Louis Cox pursed his lips, "You just realized, huh?"
"No." Maeve turned and hugged his arm, smiling and coaxing, "I love you too."
"So, do you love Uncle Ward the most, or me?" Louis Cox turned slightly, leisurely asking her.
Maeve tilted her head, gripping her soft hair, and muttered, "Then it will be Uncle Ward the most."
Louis Cox: "..."
Mia Ginger: "..."
Seeing that neither spoke for a moment, Maeve quickly said, "Uncle Ward loves me the most, so I have to love him the most. He buys me chicken legs every day. Not only food, but things to look at too, oh, and a necklace."
As Maeve’s words fell, she reached into her little shirt and pulled out a necklace.
Mia Ginger glanced at it and chuckled.
The handcrafted red cord had a finely shaped jade pendant at the end.
It appeared to be yellow jade, not very bright in color, yet covered in what seemed like oil, giving a smooth feel, carved like a little chicken leg, swaying there. The meatier end had a slightly darker, almost light brown hue, making it look appetizing, but it was truly too small; the charm lay in its intricate cuteness.
Of course—
Creating such a jade pendant isn’t easy.
Caiden Ward, that man...
Mia Ginger momentarily couldn’t find words to describe.
However—
Ward Clan Group has a jewelry line under its banner, and he spoils Maeve, naturally figuring ways to make the little girl happy.
No wonder she’s so likable.
Mia Ginger couldn’t help but smile, stroking Maeve’s cheek, "Your Uncle Ward treats you really well."
"Naturally, he loves me the most."
"Pfft." Louis Cox couldn’t help but laugh, looking speechless.
—
They walked for quite a while.
When everyone arrived at Cloudy Capital, it was already half-past one in the afternoon.
Aurora Cooper settled Bob Ginger in and naturally invited Louis Cox and Maeve to join them for lunch.
It was Louis Cox’s first time there, but not Maeve’s. As soon as she arrived, she chased the Chancellor around, happy as can be, naturally reluctant to leave.
Louis Cox was helpless with her; it was Aurora Cooper who managed to coax her into lunch.
After lunch—
Maeve still didn’t want to leave.
Louis Cox called her twice, but was ignored, feeling a bit gloomy, so he sat on the sofa waiting for a while.
He had nothing to do anyway.
Mia Ginger just turned on the TV when his phone rang.
She took the remote to lower the TV volume a bit.
Louis Cox answered the call, greeted, "Uncle Murphy."
Then there was a sudden silence.
Mia Ginger instinctively turned her head to see his extremely shocked and unpleasant expression. The next second, Louis Cox abruptly stood up, gritting his teeth, "What’s Odin’s situation? Where is he now?"
