"Milly, wait for !" Just as Milly Gray was about to step past the entryway.
Charles Taylor’s crisp voice suddenly ca from behind.
"My Transforrs, my Transforrs are still in your hands..."
The unruly child Charles Taylor rembered only the rewards but not the punishnts; Milly Gray had just pinched and hit him monts ago.
It had been such a short ti, yet Charles Taylor only had his Transforrs toy in mind, utterly forgetting how fiercely and heavily Milly Gray had pinched him just now.
Charles Taylor squird away from Winston’s grasp and ’thump thump thump’ ran towards Milly Gray.
"Milly, my Transforrs..."
Charles Taylor spread out his little hands and looked up at Milly Gray.
This Transforrs toy was his favorite, as it was bought for him by his mother in the past.
After his mother disappeared, he was sent to live with his aunt by his father. To prevent him from crying, his father handed him the Transforrs toy.
He still rembered what his father had said at that ti.
If he missed his mother, he should hug this Transforrs toy, and it would protect him just like his mother.
The unruly child rembered these words, so he hugged his Transforrs toy all the ti.
"Sister, this Transforrs is Paul’s." Charles Taylor could not understand the malice hidden in Milly Gray’s eyes; he tilted his head back, urging Milly Gray to return his toy.
With so many people watching, Milly Gray knew she had to return the toy to Charles Taylor imdiately.
If she hesitated, it would only raise suspicions in others.
The evidence was inside the Transforrs toy; if she could take it away today, she could destroy it completely without a trace.
If she couldn’t take it away, it didn’t matter.
As long as no one in the Lucas family discovered it, the evidence would remain hidden inside forever.
Realizing this, Milly Gray placed the Transforrs toy in Charles Taylor’s hands, "So the toy was in my hand... Sorry, Paul, sister wasn’t paying attention and almost took your toy away."
"It’s okay, thank you, sister." Charles Taylor hugged his Transforrs toy happily, his slightly swollen face stretching into a broad grin.
Aunt had taught him to be polite, and he shouldn’t forget that.
Charles Taylor’s smile tugged at the wounds on his face.
Rubbing his sore little face, he bade Milly Gray, who was dumbfounded, goodbye.
Milly Gray could do nothing but watch as Charles Taylor took away the Transforrs toy.
She dared not linger and quickly left with Orlando Lucas and the others.
At this mont, Charles Taylor, holding his Transforrs toy, ’thump thump thump’ ran back to Emily Taylor’s side.
"Aunt Emily, Paul is back. Sister agreed to let Paul stay and also agreed to let Paul’s Transforrs stay... Paul is so happy!"
The unruly child laughed so hard his nose and eyes seed to disappear, unable to contain his laughter even though his face hurt.
He truly looked overjoyed.
Lily and the others were all silent; being able to be so carefree was also a blessing.
Only Lulu, innocently said, "Little uncle, you have to be good from now on if you stay. If you bully Lulu again, you will still be punished. Big brother and Andrew will have a talk with you, they’ll teach you a lesson..."
Paul shuddered at Lulu’s words.
Rembering Ben Lucas, that cold-hearted nephew, and the sharp-tongued Andrew Howard, Charles Taylor hugged his Transforrs toy and hid behind Emily Taylor.
"Lulu, my niece... I... I promise not to bully you. Don’t let the nephew teach a lesson..."
Lulu’s round eyes rolled, and she nodded, "Okay, we’ll see how you behave."
With the children’s commotion, the tension among the adults had also eased significantly.
